I have a general interest in narrow gauge railroads, but biased towards history. I am a modeler, but as a product of my interest in the history.
The Goat and many of the posts here are far too focused on the C&TS and D&Sng, as well as the post-war D&RGW for my interest. I generally avoid these threads. I haven't read any of the Lobato threads...and this thread tells me that I was wise to avoid them.
I jump all over any and all threads that focus on pre-1950 topics. I love the C&TS, but you don't have to go out of your way to know what is happening.
Funny thing, I don't recall seeing (in the past year) any posts that were rude or nasty...because I've avoided the C&TS threads. I do usually read and enjoy stuff on the other operations...as they don't seem to get anywhere near as nasty or as repetitive.
Do greatly enjoy that this forum is largely free of "Oh, the new MMI K-27 has the wrong washer on it turbo generator's bracket...it should be a hexagon instead of a pentagon!" type threads.
