Bottom line, our polls are meant for fun and to stimulate conversation amongst our forum users.
I’m assuming by the e-mail newsletters that you are referring to you mean the Model Train updates and Railroading upates from Trains.com. The MR started out being very interesting and occasionally still has a spark and likewise re: the Trains one also. But they have gotten more recently filled with obvious, or maybe to some people who don’t see it, subliminal advertising. They seem to be basically the same as the magazines with not much new and usually when it is something new it is a link to sell something. The one bright spot is on the Trains email updates is the daily M-F news notices.

Just the MR one, but I preferred the original style of it, not the new one, and so may be canceling one of these days. Too much focus on click here to buy this, order that. The staff seems to have been taken out of the picture, plus the ability to contact them…at least easily. It’s becoming to commercial, IMO, and less personalized. Too bad. I also liked the polls. I just read the new product releases now, and that’s about it anymore. Sorry…

I see your company advertised in Cable installation magazine, (I think it’s that one)
So what do you think of the agreement signed with the D&H (CPR) and the NS?? CP will regret closing Buffalo SK yard… fargow@verizon.net
I would love to see weekly if not daily clips or videos of trains like what is done on Oaks Model Railroad or www.railfan.ca-David Graham. I think that would give people more of an accentive to registar for membership and would be advantageous if the videos came also from companies like Highball Productions as it would drum up business for themselves. I love this website and would like to see this website prosper furthur so I recommend video clips.
Was a picture similar to the one taken in 1954 of the Horseshoe Curve taken last mon th by NS/Sylvaniato commerate the Curve’s 150th Anniversary? Pete Smith
I am signed up for the Trains newswire but have not received it for quite a while now. As I see from other postings, maybe it is being blocked as spam.
I love the Trains NewsWire, but do agree that all four newsletters (especially MR) are becoming more advertisments than useful info. Therefore, I revieve them but don’t usually look at them anymore.
