New user moderator

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to announce that Stourbridge Lion is now a user moderator for our online forums. I’d like to thank Darren (Stourbridge Lion) for his help in making the ModelRailroader.com forums a fun place to discuss model railroading.

Sincerely,

Dana Kawala

Senior editor

Thanks for taking up the mantle, Darren. [:D]

Tom

Who?

A big and hearty [#welcome] to the team, Darren! Great to have you on board!

Ha, silly me…

I at first thought someone was coming on board to monitor “new users”…

Mobilman, exactly my first thought.

Darren, thank you for taking the time to make this an enjoyable, and safe, forum for all family members.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I more of a Railfan then a Modeler so most my topics will be found on our other forums here such a Classic Trains. I’m a avid collector of D&H models that I hope to turn into a fantasy D&H Rocky Mountain Division / D&H Western theme. I figured since I plan to hang out here I might as well also help keep things running as smoothly as possible. Some here might know me from another forum where I was a moderator there for 11 years but I look forward to making new friends here now.

At some point I will post my HO Layout idea that has all sorts of access issues and derailment concerns that maybe folks can help me work through. You know the issue, Big Dream, Little Space… My N Layout should not have the same issues and will likely get built first based on economy issues right now. I have some O, Z, and G in my collection but nothing in the layout plans for them right now.

I also have two major websites, one dedicated to the real history of the D&H which today is the largest online resource of the D&H. The other is all about my personal RR stuff. I also have a large collection of personal videos online as well for folks to enjoy over on Youtube.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program…

LOLOL, exactly. If I was in charge I would pick a moderator that at least is active in THIS forum. A lot of us are clowns just looking for attention (ME) and sometimes we need to be slapped around a bit. Never heard of this “lion” dude but good luck to you anyways. [O]

So, new guy, aren’t you going to share the link info?

Maxman, they are in his sig. [:P]

Yeah, you’re right. Didn’t read all the fine print at the end [D)]

Known him for several years, he will be a great mod.

Congrats Darren!!

Some of you should venture out more, the hobby doesn’t begin and end here you know [(-D][(-D]…

on second thought, maybe some of you should stay here…

You have it correct on this one.[Y] I have read his postings and insights a lot.

Actually, if you really think about it, it’s us old hands that need some moderation…

Welcome Darren.

We will work hard to make your life miserable, cantankerous, hazardous to your health, unenjoyable and down right awfull, I mean sweet and wonderful!!!

Just ask SirMadog-Ulrich about the sleepless nights and worryful days he has now!!!

ANd Poor jwhitten-John…we have practically driven that man to distraction!!!

Well, welocme anyway…we will keep a place ready for you where we burried the other former moderators!

[8-|]

I guess since I’m a model railroader, I tend to hang out in the model railroader side of things. I’ve never heard of the guy after being here for four years. Not that he won’t make for a good moderator, I just figured it would be someone from the forum.

Good luck to you sir.

Great idea, mobilman44. They should have a separate moderator to monitor new users - - - LOL

LOL - - - I agree TA462. How come it ain’t one of our own?
