Welcome back to the NGDF. While we were off line, we took the opportunity to make a few changes here and there. First and most importantly, we've firmed up the rules. If you haven't read them yet, please go back to the main index page and go over them. For most people this is irrelevant, However it can't hurt (that's why flight attendants tell you that your seat cushions float every time a plane is preparing for takeoff).
We've also had a change hosts. John was always excellent however his day job tended to cause problems here. Experienced hosts are hard to find but Mike Trent, aka Mak Thu Waldcayut, became available and was interested. After we hosed him off some we let him in the doors and he'll be helping out watching for any fires before they get too big and doing whatever else needs doing.
Hopefully things will return to normal here and we can get back to the serious business of railfanning.
