Other people have used the analogy of Yahoo - I use phpBB deliberately
because it is *not* yahoo and does not force you to accept annoying banner
adds or google-style 'targetted' link advertising.

phpBB is free, very well supported, and very extensible. I've got no
problems adding additional forums, etc. based on what people ask for.

It's simple enough - if you are serious about your rail-related hobby and
you would like to use any of the forums I have set up, registering takes
less than 5 minutes and that gives unlimited access to all the forums.

Regards,

Craig.
