Personally, if we have a hefty number of transplants from the old forum, I would have no problem with the idea transferring their post counts also. Not for myself, it's just a way of acknowledging their participation and commitment. This forum could reasonably be assumed to be an extension of the other. A "resurrection", like Errol mentioned. Of course, a whole lot of work for the mods, but maybe not so bad a task if it is divided up, and not have to be acomplished all at once. But maybe it's not practical, I would have no way of knowing. (Schultz, "I know notting, I know notting!")

OK...I made it over, where are the doughnuts?
Well, by the time I got to "the end of the string" on this thread, I had seen so many familiar names that I feel right at home.... so count me in !!!

You guys did a magnificent job setting this up.
Does anyone still have "the box?"
Is there room for one more train lover? I have learned of this site thanks to Doc Wayne....thanks, Wayne!
Some of you will recognize me from other places. I enjoy cameraderie on several forums, and am very much still learning. It is nice to see familiar "faces".
I hope to drop in often. Who keeps the roster for coffee making and getting the donuts?

Wow! Great to see all of you here.
Wayne
Darn don't tell me last one through the door has to bring the donuts.

Thank you, we tried to tell you to have faith, I'm glad you did, and it's good seeing you here. We're still working out the rough edges, but things should be running smoothly by our official opening day, this Wednesday.

Yes, Sumpter250 should have the old box, but we've got a new logo and I think we're going to have a new box, and I would hope, a "BIG BLUE" boxcar to send around, HO and N scale both...

Now I have one less thing to worry about
I see you are already posting, Have fun!!!!
See ya later!!!!
I'm BACK! Thanks for not keeping the Gauge as a "fallen flag"! It got a bail out!
I didn't like the new style of the Gauge. It was difficult to navigate around.
With me in the automotive industry. I've hadn't done much modeling. However, I have been busy at the Little River Railroad Museum in Townsend, Tennessee.

Well tis good to here from the old gang at the gauge once again, and even better to see a few backwards steps to the good o`ll "Big Blue,"
just a little sujestion(winge) ozy for whine... could we... you mods that is.... take a few more steps back to the past. and help to old codgers like me with bad eyes...go back to white background with black text( or am I still computer dumb) and there is a way to do that already?...
its also good to see the drivers in the cab again....
you all did a great job before and I know you`ll all do a great job now....steve
