Hi All......newby here, but I am involved in some other forums as I'm sure most of us are. Re: 'I'm still wondering'..... is a very good question from my point of view as well. I don't know anything about the history of this site and to be fair I've found lots of stuff of interest here......plan to stay here.
So-o-o-ooooo, I'm wondering where all the miners are. Would it make sense to move the narrow gauge to it's own forum topic? There's a lot of interest in it. It might also make a difference to have a dedicated 'Logging and Mining' forum topic as well. There ARE a lot of standard gauge mining railways, not so many logging, but they're out there. We might find then more miners and loggers that would show up here. Narrow gauge mining and logging should be welcome as well. As I look through this topic I find there is a preponderance of interest in the trains for their own sake.......nothing wrong with that, but what about mining and logging?
Just some thoughts.
Cheers!
