2-Rail For Sale Forum?

Just start each 2 rail ad with "2 rail".  Done.

You might then set up some confusion with the Flyer 'S' gauge crowd

 Still have to check out all the scale stuff that is three rail? rolling stock just change wheels and coupler, buildings, bridges, signals? people, vehicles, scenery? I read the 2 rail scale forum all the time but i'm three rail right now.

I'm sure for a small monthly sponsorship fee, the OGR Adman would create you a 2 rail buy/sale forum

(In other words, what do you want for free)

Even if it’s free, you can always buy it cheaper

This has been brought up several times in the past.  Didn't happened then won't happen now.  I don't think there is that much that needs a 2 rail only for sale thread.

I have also placed 2 rail only items for sale (in the basically 3 rail for sale forum) and I do agree with you.  My items were off the page in less than 2 hours because of the number of 3 rail items being placed for sale.

No.

If only the "geniuses" at E-Bay could appreciate the distinction, I personally have no interest in most 3-rail (or PRC 2-rail either) so if the listing doesn't distinctly identify it as 2-rail then I pass. What a waste of time.

In retrospect the "geniuses" as well as many sellers apparently like it just the way it is. So caveat emptor.

Rail Dawg: There you have it from the CEO himself. A flat out NO with no explanation as to why. Sort of a rude way to do business/treating ones customers? Just my opinion and in the customers service with people for thirty years. Stephen

Thanks everyone for being so helpful on this forum! You guys have a lot of wisdom to share.  

Off to find another good model railroading forum.   

Take care!

Good grief...I was short on time and wanted to give you a quick, concise answer to your question!! What more was needed than a simple, one-word answer? I didn't mean anything more than that!

If you still want to cancel your premuim membership, this is something you have to do yourself. For security reasons, we have no access to your credit card info.

The whole issue is very simple. Just do a search for (two rail, 2R, 2 rail) on the buy/sell forum, then bookmark it. Here it is:

Worked good for me.

If you expect to survive on the Net, I suggest you become proficient at searching.

A lot of times the 2R stuff is listed right here in the 2R forum. There isn't much listed, and when it is listed, it usually gets sold off quick. I've posted 2R stuff in this forum, and it has sold within an hour or two.

I think, for several reasons, a 2 rail for sale sight makes sense. If the answer is no due to space considerations, there are some summary sites that lump similar subjects together that seem redundant to my dull mind.

I don't run a web site so I have no idea whatsoever the business challenges it represents, so Rich forgive me if I have spoken out of turn.

I truly enjoy this forum and love the fact we have some real railroaders on here for comment and perspective.

It's up to the seller to list it as 2 rail plain and simple. The forum already has a 2 rail section to discus 2 rail trains.  I agree with Rich there is no need for another for sale heading. 

The heading should also state the manufacturer but a lot of them don't and its hard to teach an old dog new tricks.  A separate 2-rail for sale heading  would be nice if possible as it seems a natural divide. 

While I appreciate and share Doug's passion for 2-rail stuff, especially the 3/2 MTH premier diesels, I think the idea of a separate 2-rail for sale forum is a bad idea.  People will still post 2-rail stuff to the 3-rail forum, and the 2-rail forum will see occasional 3-rail listings by accident.  Then there is the stuff that is 1:48 but doesn't go on a track (scenery, buildings, 1:48 people, etc).  Which forum would you post them on?

I think the addition of a "2-rail for sale" section will cause more problems than it solves.

Hey guys had a good e-mail with our boss Rich.  As usual forums and the written word aren't always the best way to communicate.  

Rich didn't mean to come across the way he did.  I could have done better myself.  

That being said this is one of the finest 2-rail forums I have found yet.  I sure need all your help.   

Take care.
