I must second the opinion of Frank Bongiovanni, that if there are subjects 
you are curious about, then you should start the topic yourself, instead of 
waiting for someone else to do it for you.
If you want to be a "lurker", and there is nothing wrong with that, you must 
have the patience to wade through all of the material that you are not 
interested in.
There will always be a social element to lists like this, with regulars 
often carrying on what amounts to a conversation; it is just the nature of 
the beast.  I probably delete 75% of the list content without reading more 
than the subject and first couple of lines.  But the information I have 
gotten off this list over the years is well worth the wait.

As for me, I'm not working on any N&W models right now.  (Anybody want to 
hear me gripe about masking off an Alaska GP49 for painting?)  And yes, the 
Walthers B60 is an excellent model; they even changed the doors and roof, so 
it is not just a PRR car lettered N&W.

Like most things in life, the list is what you make it.  If you have a 
question, ask it.  Most likely it will be answered.  If you want to sit back 
and observe, then realize that there will be lulls in information that you 
are interested in.
