Don't forget that links can only be put in if someone out there knows one.
There is very little on the net for 2 1/2" gauge, even less before David
started this group. There isn't much going on here anyway, more spam than
proper messages. I am not doing any modelling at the mo, but am thinking
about a 7 1/4" Dart, so the 2 1/2" Scotsman may have to wait.
We definitely are not elitist, cant even think how you as a 'new boy' came
to this conclusion? Its not the sort of message that promotes interested
replies.
If no-one posts a problem, or just gives a little report on their current
project, there are no messages to read, advise on, quote, etc, let us know
what you are about and someone may join in.
Simon.
ps the group settings could do with changing to stop the spammers and the
regular spammers need deleting, simple job, I have the same problem with my
500+ members group. Changing settings to moderate new members for short
while stops any 'problems'
