I took a look today at the 3 Rail Scale forum, (been a while) to see what was new and what type of modeling was going on. Usually lots of good stuff. There were maybe two threads related to the forum subject, and 22-24 advertisements. So I bailed (probably the opposite of what the vendors want or anticipate) as there was plainly nothing going on, much to my disappointment. I wonder if other modelers have the same reaction? I would like to make a suggestion. I think these vendors would get more traction on the 3 rail forum, as the number of participants is far greater. But if their stategy is to have their commercial linger longer on a less popular forum it may have the opposite effect? Can or should there be limited number of these advertisements? In the not so distant past I have told some folks about the 3 Rail Scale forum and the feedback I got was it was just a bunch of advertisements. I was puzzled but now I understand.
