Reading fans of all stripes are are welcome to participate in friendly, informative dialogue among the RM community!
The Caboose is a place for Reading Modeler members to hang out and discuss topics of general interest, not necessarily rail-related. Come on in, the coffee's hot and the conversation is stimulating!

This section of The Interchange provides a space where members of the Reading Modeler community can showcase their Reading modeling efforts. If you've got a project that you'd like to share, start a new topic and "show and tell" the group how you did it!

What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

The Timetable is a section of the Reading Modeler Forum where individuals can post information regarding upcoming Reading Railroad-related and Model Railroading-related events, such as the annual Reading Railroad Modelers' Meet, NMRA Railroad Prototype Modelers (RPM) meets, and so on.
