GL5 Forum

Hello,

First I like to introduce myself. I am a 5" modelrailroadbuilder living in The Netherlands in Munnekeburen (Friesland). My age is 60, I'm nearly 40 years married to Ank, and I am a retired electronic engineer.
My goal is to build a 5" railroad in our garden. At the moment I'm finishing the renovation of our house, but in spring, I pick up my hobbywork again.

The old GL5 forum, which I also joined, was a little different to my knowledge. Then we had catagories to place our topics in. I would like to see that again.
Please create some catagories like: Track - Rolling stock - Events - Live steam locomotives - Workshop problems and so on.
Not everyone would like to read everything when you come in as a new member.

See you soon,

Frits

Hi Frits,

This is a good point that you make, my reason for not having categories this time is that the forum is not large enough yet. I thought that if I split it all up into sections then the whole forum would be too spread out considering the few members we have at the moment.

Of course if people want to have the categories back then please let me know and I shall to it ASAP, please let me know what categories you would like too.

I do agree with you that the forum is rather small. Keep it in your mind for future expansions.
My favourites then could be: Track - Events - Workshoptips.

Hi,

Well a catagory where members could introduce themselves would be nice, so we know who is who.
And in the German fora, which I joined, there is always a catagory called "End Station" or "Depot" or maybe a name like "Junkyard" where they put all the stuff which is no longer actuel or does not fit in other catagories.

Maybe a catagory called "Usefull links" can help members to find the right websites for there hobby.

I hope you will use one or more suggestions.

with my regards

Frits

PS. Some members write my name as Fritz, which is incorrect.
