I've been a member for several months now and enjoy the many features of the site. The archives of old magazines is very nice to access. I like those old Model Builder magazines. Lionel put them out and they're have a nostalgic value, but the highlights to me are the many articles that the late Frank Ellison wrote on MR operations.
I started an S scale group on Train Life. I don't know how many will join, but it's yet another attempt to give us some exposure.
