Ditto! Many, many thanks to those behind the scenes who make this the greatest forum out in cyberspace! And, of course, to our fellow Gaugers...non of whom carry flamethrowers.
I never met a three-year-old with soooo much maturity before! And I surely hope it will live long and prosper for many years to come...
Since I joined a year ago I learned a lot about model railroading, prototype railroading, and, yes, about sharing joyful and also mournful hours between friends.
Val, you said it - you hit the nail right on the head. Thank you all, guys and gals, for all your contributions at The Gauge!

PS: Shamus, you're feeling OLD??? With the speed you are building up layouts, one after the other, it's us others who should be feeling old! :thumb:

wow! Three years old and potty trained. Impressive the way people here conduct themselves; something that the potty-mouths on some other forums need to learn.:thumb: :thumb:
Does anyone know what they were doing they day this forum was born? I do, we were packing up our business getting ready to R-E-T-I-R-E. It took me another two years to figure out what I wanted to do with that extra time I had, that's how I landed here; and to be frank with you, I don't think I'd have stayed in the hobby if if wasn't for the people that make this forum so enjoyable.
Congratulations to the forum and all that support we get from it, and especially the people it attracts..

Next, congratulations and thanks, to all those in the roles of moderators and administrators. who keep us on the smooth track and not let us get lost on some obscure spur. Finally, I believe we should congratulate ourselves for being a part of this success.

I would list all the things I have learned from the folks here at the gauge, since I first fell in with this good company. The list, however, would be too long. So...I will simply thank you all for being freinds, and family. For sharing your thoughts, feelings, skills, knowledge, and humor. For being child enough to enjoy this hobby, and adult enough to keep this forum a great place to be.
To those who are responsible for the gauge existing in the first place, I really can't add to what Val has stated. I am proud to know this three year old! Happy birthday gauge.

Yay!!
happy Birthday to the Gauge!..
I'm truly inspired by the way this forum conducts itself and the wonderful sense of community it engenders!..
here's to many more years!

I'd like to
Echo what others have already said.
This forum runs like a fine railroad timepiece, thanks to all the members, moderators and founders. (The Gauge Pocket Watch is on my Xmas Wish List..)
A special thank-you to Lighthorseman (Steve) for introducing me to The Gauge in the first place... It's what On30Trains.com could have become... (*Sigh*) (In memory of Rich Sr.)
