I was wondering if there is any other good train forums out there dealing with O scale? I really like this forums, the results are very good and there is interesting discussions, I just like to read the old stuff and was wondering if there was any others out there.
The key word is good.
Yes there are other forums. Use a search engine and you can find several. One forum that I have found very good is the ATLAS forum and web pages.
There is Model Train Journal aka MTJ which is good, Atlas has a forum and then there is O Gauge Railroading aka OGR which is okay if you love MTH and hate Lionel.
Depends on what you are looking for. O-gauge Railroading has a good forum with plenty of useful information, but some very strong personalities. I have seen some folks with little experience be treated poorly. Atlas is pretty good. I have visited several others, but have found them not to be very nice. The folks here at CTT keep a fairly tight ship regarding foul language and the put downs and personal attacks that take place often in other arenas.

I frequent the Tinplate Forum on OGR and have found the folks there to be friendly and helpful. My primary interest is Tinplate so I only have experience there. As with any online forum there are always strong personalities. By gosh, I think we might even have a few here. [swg] I don’t mind stong personalities but I do appreciate a sense of respect and restraint along with the strong personalities. Its part of the reason I lurk more than I contribute.
