This thread was spun out of Larry's prairie sale thread in small ads.
It was initially prompted by thoughts of how the world of ready to run models and their many delights related to the world of Western Thunder.
Which led to more general thoughts about what we post on the forum and how what is posted affects or possibly changes the forum.
So a bit of pondering and gentle introspection about Western Thunder, nearly nine years after its founder Cynric Williams sadly left us.
To quote from our welcome page:
This Forum was started several years ago by Cynric Williams who was keen to see a relaxed forum where modellers could share photos and notes on construction of models and layouts, particularly focusing on the larger scales, from 'S' & 'O' upwards. The emphasis is on people “doing stuff”, in part a reaction against the wish lists and "box modellers" on other forums.
The original nucleus of modellers had a fairly common interest in Western Region Diesel Hydraulics, hence the theme of the forum was set.
There is really only one rule and that is "to play nicely".
So, to be clear, this thread is not here to tell anyone what to do, to suggest that there is anything "wrong", or to criticise anything that anyone has previously posted.
