I apologize if a totally blank note preceded this one... Groups.io 1, George 0.
With respect to Expanded Subjects, I think straying too far from A1G specifically would call for the establishment of a new group.? I think it's also fair to say that with a few exceptions, the "groups" concept has waned in popularity so I'm not sure that anything is going to cause a huge increase in traffic.? I know that thoughts about Facebook are mixed (and please, let's leave it there...) but there is a group called "N Scale Hi-Rail" which has as its topic the early days.? I'm a member and contributor over there as well.? I've been posting tidbits from the Model Railroader DVD in that group.? For example, the first use of the term "N Scale" finally appears in June 1964, well after the first full-page ad for Arnold Rapido trains appears.? And said ad doesn't call out the scale as "N" either!? (Or Triple O, for that matter.)
That having been said, if there is material that relates in some way to A1G, such as the previously mentioned re-use of Roco's tooling for other brands, then post away.? Behind the scenes, I have been accumulating "Life After A1G" examples from Roco under its own brand and Walthers using Roco tooling that started with A1G.? One of these days I'll get the photography done!? And of course there is the short-lived but non-trivial output of E-R Models, most of which I already own, some of which I am still hunting for although quite casually.
Cheers,
George (your list-owner)
