Awe shucks guys… thank you for all your kind comments. It couldn't be done without all the help and contributions from everyone. I too had gone down the same road as Rick did. Lately for me, the Yahoo groups have become irrelevant. More valuable information has been shared here on the blog and discussion forum in the last year, than in the last ten years in any Yahoo group.
 
I originally I started the blog as a means to motivate and document the construction of my small Sn3 layout. As my progress slowed and I had less and less to write about, the thought occurred to me to invite fellow C&S modelers in any scale to post on the blog (Derrell and I think there might be 5 of us in Sn3!). I've continually updated and modified (fun HTML code) the blog to be something I thought was missing; a place for C&S modelers and historians to congregate and share information (with no moderation Rick! Everyone is welcome to stick their own foot in their mouths).
 
The blog (free online magazine?) will hit 100,000 views this month (80,000 since opening it to additional authors a year ago!) and the new discussion forum has over 7000 views in less than a month (where are all these people?). Again, their success depends on your participation. And I am very appreciative of all of you that have. Thanks!
