I like this format much better than the old. Hope to see some of the old gang here too!!
I'd like to start off with a question...

What is your favorite hobby shop and why? What is your least favorite and why??

My favorites: Caboose Hobbies in Denver: MECCA for modelers and fast, friendly service. I am also very partial to Depot Hobbies in Grand Junction...not a great selection but fun guys with a lot of knowledge.
Least favorites: Hobby stores that don't carry model railroad stuff, those that can't decide whether they sell trains or dolls, and those where the clerks don't know jack and treat the customer like #$^!!
Happy Modeling!!
John

Hello John!

Good to see you here.

My favorite use to be the Train Depot down in Orlando FL, when it was run by Stew Marshall. He sold out several years ago and now its not as user friendly. At least it wasn't last time I was there. This part of the country we don't have a lot of great railroad hobby shops.

Orange Blossom Hobbies down in Miami isn't bad, if you're into brass. But know how to habla espanol!

I"m new here but I really like this type of format. I live in Columbus Ohio and we have two very good stores. Hobbyland in Graceland shopping center and The Train Station on Indinolla Ave. Both shops are run by friendly and helpful people.....Mike

something from the old forum telling of this one would have been nice.. this must be moderated by that guy A. Moron I think...

wonder how many we lost from the move without knowing about this....??

gee.... looks similar to http://www.trainboard.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

RR:
K, C, & Bird Butt Railroad - SP, NS, and ROCK admirer. Its a coal mining region of a place far far away, that shares with SP, NS, and some CSX..
Also some Custom RARE Bird RR sd40-2's coming!
Era:

Time stands still round these parts, and we have everything from Steam, to Diesels of today.

Bruce,
I e-mailed Scott, but never got a reply. Yes some forewarning of the change would have been nice. I also tried to e-mail Dallas, but my mail got returned. Good to "see" an old face here though!!

For clarification, both the Trainboards and the TrainWeb Railforums just happen to be powered by Infopop's Bulletin Board software. Seeing other sites using the same software is just confirmation of our confidence in its quality and ease of use.
