    Very nice. I see you're posting groups of signs there, are these duplicates of the ones here on TrainBoard?

    Since I don't live or die by social media, Facebook, Twitter etc etc. The Indiana Railway won't have a page on either. Any time misspent on either, just takes away time spent on the layout. Shucks, I don't even have a personal web page anywhere. So I guess I will keep on living in DARK AGES. LOL

    Mine may one day, I could update it during work breaks instead of reading despairing political garbage.

    I am a member of South Texas Model Railroad facebook group, and I have a layout album in the group photo albums. Also several albums on various prototype areas. The facebook group exists pretty much entirely on facebook, not a local "club." However for two summers, we have had a one-a-year in-person meet. I suggested we meet somewhere we could have a picnic, show our some of our trains and modeling projects, AND watch real trains go by. Our first meet 2014 was in Robstown, TX in a park adjacent to crossing of KCS and UP.

    In 2015, we planned to meet at a park next to Laredo international railroad bridge where traffic interchanged between US and Mexico, but there turned out to be no shade and no parking. So we met in the carport of a Laredo member half a block from the lead track to the bridge, where we could watch the international interchange by walking to the end of the driveway when we heard a train.

    Actually, I got into the Facebook South Texas Model Railroad group because of Trainboard. Marco Villarreal of Alice, Texas wrote her on Trainboard that he was interested in modeling Texas Mexican Rwy. I corresponded with him through Facebook posts and designed a layout based on Alice, which Marco is building.

    From our back-and-forth, Marco got me in the Facebook group.

    I really don't have any use for social media. Model railroad forums are about as close as it gets for me. Haven't figured out why I need social media.

    I use a Facebook group page as a blog to go along with my website (link on website). The group is closed so that it doesn't show up in everyone's news feed.. those that are interested join and I accept, only the 'members' see the posts.
