It was kept running by a Nephew (I think) of Bill's, but at this point it appears said person decided to shut it down.

They never likes my avatar photo on OGR. They kept saying it wasn’t good enough photo. Eventually i left over it. Imagine how they would have loved my running for office posts!. Here even the guys that disagreed with me kept it low key.
I spend entirely too many hours a day tying my shoes

They don't allow any political comments or discussions on OGR. Never have. MTJ is the only train forum that I know of that allows it....

I think your avatar is better than the comb in hair dye advertising :lol: For anyone who may have missed it.

True as far as I know
Conservatism: The intense fear that somewhere, somehow, someone you think is inferior is being treated as your equal.

I'm just glad MTJ is back up. Thanks to whoever got the problem fixed. I don't post often (40 posts in 17+ years!), but I like to stop by once in a while to see what's going on. MTJ is the closest thing we have left to the AOL train boards. Now that was fun! :lol:

Yep, Guilty as charged. Hey, they won't allow that great avatar photo from High Sierra so I will promote the name itself. Glad we are all back at it here. I haven't tried to upload any media material for some time so I can't comment on that issue. Plus I need some worthwhile material.
Train & Traction ON!

Looks like well over 5 years. The climate on NK must have sucked his memory out.
Shame.
Now he can't remember stuff from five years ago.

I don’t really have a beef with GRJ. He helped a friend of mine and is pretty well steeped in the electronics side of the hobby. He’s probably on the right forum considering his skill set. Not much here in terms of modern train electronics.

Gun Runner John is the moderator on the Model Train Forum. And he has been there for a long time.
https://www.modeltrainforum.com/

I remember when he came here and why he didn't stick around. At the time he was an MTH tech and did a lot of work with MTH engines and promoting the product. What he discovered was a lot of anti Mike Wolf and MTH. On other forums MTJ became known as the anti MTH forum.
Our resident Mike Wolf/MTH hater is still here.

That’s hate speech!
