Think you'll find it's for DEMU society members only Simon.

John.

Then hopefully it will encourage more members?

Maye...but seeing as guests can only read admin notices by the looks of it, then maybe not......mind you they can read the 'DEMU independance' thread at least :-/

Just what we need... another eGroup/ message board/ forum/ chat room etc, etc...

Yes, I'm a cynic but as an enthusiastic d&e modeller, I formerly looked upon those places as a mine of good advice, help and information.

However, a certain destructive element seem to turn each one in turn into a petty, bickering kiddies retreat. I'm sick of them all, personally.

What is it with diesel and electric modellers? Do other modellers' (ie steam or other countries) forums put up with this much rubbish?

I thaught something simular, but the forum is much better than the yahoo groups.

Ah! Glad it's not just me who thinks that. The history of D&E forums seems to be rows, hissy fits, toys out of pram, groups and archives removed, and most amusingly but perhaps most destructively, inter-magazine fights, where contributors, ex-contributors, and editors engage in girly slap-fights in public. It's always the well-known names in D&E modelling who seem to be at the centre of the worst!
