MountainMan Wrote:Not upset at all. I've noticed that ignoring the actual question to focus on some other issue is quite common here. It reminds me of trying to talk to my ex-wife.At least the conversation is somehow related to the original subject and not completely off-topic like in some places. I guess these things happen though, even with a couple of people just talking over a cup of coffee...
that's human nature at work.

I'm probably not too far off track in saying that some who were there, weren't all that interested in logging, at least not enough so, to follow us here.
To honestly answer your question, my "guess" isn't any better than yours, as to where they are, and why they aren't here.
.........then, there is the S.A.R. (Smart A. Reply).....Maybe they just got board with logging.

Oppps, sorry about that, but someone got me hooked on SAR's over on Zealot... They know who they are, don't they.

But someone else here might just do that...

cid, in noticing your location, I'm wondering if you missed the last train, or if you're on it. Or are you just monkee-ing around with us?
As for MountainMan's original question, perhaps they're just having trouble logging in.

...Or maybe they set a turnout wrong...and wound up in the wrong branch....

Quote:well, yes, I think you wood.....Cid,
...............and the rest?, punny, very punny. Maybe it's time to get the monkee off the branch, before the last train leaves for Clarksville.
I didn't really say that............... Oh yes I did!Back to Logging. The "Logging, Mining & Industrial Annual (spring 2009) Has a great photo spread on the Diamond & Caldor, 3' gauge logging railroad in El Dorado county, Caloifornia. Lots of 3' gauge Shays, stub switches, trestles, and logging! I just might have to dig out that MDC HOn3 shay kit!

Or maybe someone just crowned them and felled them where they stood before dragging them away.

In a more serious vein, perhaps some of the "missing" loggers can be found at one of these sites:
Railroad Line Forums
The Whistle Post
All Model Railroading
Not being a modeller of the logging scene, I'm unsure of for whom in particular you're searching, but a quick "google" yielded those three links. There are many more to be had, too.

Best answer I can give (having only just found this thread) is:
We lost a lot of members from Zealot, when we moved here. They were, and still are interested in different aspects of Modeling. It was left, by Don & I, up to each individual whether they wanted to come and look, come here and stay, come in & visit occasionally, or not even stop in for a look-see.
The ones that followed us here, most definitely are, and always will be, appreciated!!!!
It is a much quieter place here, much easier to follow conversations and Don will qualify this: it's Much Much easier to run the daily operations here, than it was, on Zealot.....

As far as DoctorWayne's comment, I remember how much fun it was getting you to send me your e-mail so I could formally invite you here. 
Don & I really don't want any negativity from other forums, but please, feel free to invite someone that may have been left behind.

Surprisingly, I actually had hopes, given the astute and experienced nature of the members.
