As a newcomer to this site I can only say that I'm very disappointed at some of the silly discussions that go on.
I was referred here by a person that I've bought narrow gauge books from. He said that if you're interested in narrow gauge this is the place for good information. I've seen lot's of that from Jerry Day and great photos from John West and others.
I love the history and also the updates on restorations and goings on at the C&TSRR and D&S. My personal opinion ( and the only time I'm going to share it ) is that if you don't have anything positive to contribute -
don't. And BTW - John West has the most rational viewpoint on things.
