This mailing list is for the discussion of HO scale model railroading. This includes but is not limited to questions and answers, layout design, new products, personal items for sale, and anything about HO scale in general. Beginners are welcome, as are old heads. If you are interested in discussing just HO scale, then this is the group for you.

Please do not include discussions about Ebay, Lionel, N scale, or anything that those of us who are interested only in HO scale would not find interesting. Yahoo has many groups, one of which would be better suited for doing this.

If you have an item for sale that you think some members of the group would be interested in, a one time posting, asking that anyone interested please respond directly to you (include your email address), and not the list, is appropriate. Also, when responding to an item for sale, please send email directly to the person, not the list.

A one time new product announcement is generally ok, but listings of items for sale by commercial concerns and auction announcements are not welcome.

Discussions about Ebay, religion, politics, and any other subject not pertaining to HO railroading are not welcome. The purpose here is to share knowledge about model railroading. The other subjects mentioned seem to do nothing but create a series of inflammatory posts and will not be tolerated.

This list is open to children, and profanity and personal attacks are not tolerated.

To put it simply.. don't be annoying.

We have a home page at http://www.HOrailroading.net that has feature articles, and links to other web sites with information about HO scale model railroading. Please feel free to visit whenever you have the time.
