We need to encourage their early participation so they will have the desire to be active on their own in the future. How old were you when you got interested in railroading? Did someone encourage you? Who are you going to encourage?

This is just a small sample of this discussion that took place at LSOL.com. Unlike other sites, our online message boards are secure and safe. Your questions are answered quickly and you do not have to worry about being blasted because of the question you asked.

Way wait two months for a magazine to tell you about a new product when for the last 10 years LSOL.com has been breaking the news the day it happens. The major manufacturers know to come to us and they make sure we know, so we can let you know.

Don't get us confused with sites that say they are free then want to charge you money to print their reprocessed articles. Others sites really only feature public access message board that have too wide a latitude on behavior for many people's taste. Sure it is free but what about their annoying extra banner ads that only go away if you pay to join. - What's that?
