Another informal poll about blog topics

Would you be interested in “other sized” railway visits, such as Entertrainment Junction in Ohio (it’s indoor large scale)? What about ride-on railways?

What about me visiting a farm-supply store to see what might work on a layout? The one near us has holiday toys and other stuff now.

If you have another idea, please chime in.

Rene, if it interests you it’ll interest most, if not all of us. After all, this Forum is all about knowledge sharing, entertainment, and just plain fun! Emphasis on the fun!

So by all means, go for it!

I agree with Flintlock. Not every blog topic interests me specifically; however I tend to read them all. Are you looking for more responses from those who read them?

I’m looking for any and all feedback, even if it’s a “not interested.” We receive few comments on the blog. Should I assume no news is good news?

I’m going to take care of that right now. Watch for a new topic. [:(!]

Done.

I like all of those ideas! [tup]

Has Garden Railways ever done a story about the Castle Peak & Thunder Railroad in Anaheim Ca.? I came accross this video and it’s one impressive garden railway!

Maybe a blog about great train places to visit. Strasburg Pa, for example, with the Strasburg Railroad, The Railroad Museum of PA, the Choo Choo Barn and the TCA museum all in the same area. Plenty to do, see and experience.

Actually Rene, what I really want to know is did you and your husband ever retrieve that broken coupler from the Glacial Drumlin Trail?

And how does it look on the front lawn if you did? [;)]

Howzabout less effort on blogs, and more emphasis on more content within the covers of my favorite hobby magazine…?

I am an old fuddy-dud, if you haven’t guessed. [2c]

It seems that whenever I click on a sticky promoting some blog, it is always posted on some other section. At that point I lose interest in trying to search for it.

How about a blog on what new and exciting change’s we will see on the website in 2020 [#dots]

Excellent suggestion. Will add to my list.

ROTFL, that’s a good one! Actually, my husband is quite intested in adding a garden railroad to the back yard in 2020. We have a general track plan but were “derailed” in 2019 due to my FIL’s passing, and we also need to have a large (dead) tree removed from the backyard first.

When I know more, you’ll hear about it. We’re in the early planning stages and I know little other than there will be changes.

Actually, yes, in December 2009. [:D]

I’ll be ordering that back issue very soon! [:D]

All of the above would be interesting.

Checking Farm Supply and any other stores for usable stuff would make good reading in the magazine.

I agree with Fife, it’s getting really thin

that there is the reason I’m not renewing my subscription

Let me politely, gently, and diplomatically remind everyone this thread’s about the blogs, not the magazine.

I’m not the “Thread Cop,” and have no intention of being one, but if you have beefs about the magazine I’m sure you can start your own thread and I’m equally sure the mag staff will be looking at it.

No offense.

Well said Flintlock
