Censorship on the Forums
Here is how it started,...
About a week ago I had a moderator on another train forum delete some postings I placed a subject thread I had started on their forums, Logging Locos, Logging Trackplan etc
I did not see that I had violated their rules, so I started a new subject thread over there, "Censorship on the Forums". That subject thread was immediately LOCKED so no other person could voice their opinions.
Final Livestream Reminder
Just a reminder that I will be live streaming the final op session tonight in two blocks, 3:30-5:30 and 6:00-8:00. Hope to see you there.
Breaking up (an estate) is hard to do
Friends and neighbors, I need some advice, inspiration and / or experience. This is NOT a 'For Sale' ad, it is an open-ended question about what to do with this stuff. You want to buy some of it, contact me off-forum and I'll drop the URL with photos and the details spreadsheet.
MRH RE TMTV tablet suggestion
Does anyone have experince with the Amazon Fire HD 10? Amazon Prime Day is coming and they should have a good price.
I enjoy curling up on the couch with my tablet to read MRH and Running Extra.
My Eclipse 7 needs replacing as it can not be updated and no longer can cast to my TV.
Need a bigger type face on screen that is why going to a 10.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for your suggestions
Hocking Valley 2.0 - The End
Due to the sudden death of my mother, the timetable for moving and dismantling the layout has been scrunched up considerably. As such, I will start dismantling immediately after these sessions are streamed. There will be one final update outlining the final progress as well as what to expect from the channel. After that, I'll probably remain off of YouTube aside from comments and keeping up with subscriptions. Videos will pick up again in a few months with a look at the temporary workbench setup. Until then, thanks for joining me on the journey and see you on Hocking Valley 3.0
Recruiting new folks into the hobby
The Roundhouse Model Railroad Club in St. James, MN uses it's open house sessions and community events to help recruit new folks into the hobby. It holds two major open house periods each year, one in June in conjunction with the town's community "Railroad Days" festival and the other in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Any other clubs out doing something similar? The club has recruited several new members in their late teens/early 20s recently. Any ideas about how to pull in high school age folks?
Bundling a lot of threads and a little philosophy.....

Great Model Railway Challenge 2019
The second series of UK Channel 5's Great Model Railway Challenge is currently being filmed, and should probably be broadcast in September/October again. There will be 8 episodes instead of 6 last year, and each episode might be a bit longer than last year.
Some of us 'Basingstoke Bodgers' attended the judging of a heat last week as part of the studio audience:
