Don't agree at all.

It is a 'forum'. That is discussion in both directions.

Hiding behind locked topics is not the direction to take.

Sad.

I think you would be surprised how seriously a lot of researchers regard the R.O. information. With a lot of it from railway people themselves, albeit unnamed, the information is often authoritative. (in fact the recent trends toward acknowledging contributors is I think regrettable. It should be do...

An interesting question. I thought the digitising was likely to be an ongoing project but perhaps it has not proved viable? Shame really that such classic and authoritative archives are not so well valued. (I should have all those copies in paper form). I presume the Society holds the copyright howe...
