Clubs, home layouts, events - there are all kinds of ways we can let the world know our hobby is very much alive and kicking.

I am asking all of you to share pictures and a story of your local railroads with the rest of us.

The Club directory has three entries. I'd like to see 50 by the end of the year - "Aim BIG", mom always said.

Manufacturers, do you want a page of your own with your related articles right there? - Let's do it.

Do you have the info on shows from around the world ? Let's get this site up to standard and make version three of the Guild the site we dreamed it to be.   

Since December I have been working on the new site.This task has taken me down many roads and twice I found myself in a place I did not want to be. I don't want another facebook or myspace and I don't think you do either. What I want is the best a magazine has to offer, with all the abilities of our archive system to keep these article available and within reach. The problem is - oh there is so much I could add to the site.

So I am making a commitment to all of you. No big changes, just a little paint and weather you know what I mean.

If you want to be a staff member, I welcome volunteers to help. Oh yeah, the new site has a contributor section where your articles are listed with your bio, cool huh.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend - I've yard work to do...
