Model Train Questions Answered

May 16, 2009

If you have submitted a model train question and it has not yet been published, you might want to submit it again (see link at bottom of page). Not all questions are approved for publication because many fail to meet the required guidelines.

Many questions are rejected because they either don’t make sense, or are in text message format, or are submitted ENTIRELY IN CAPS. Proper sentence construction is required.

Make Your Model Train Questions Clear And Thorough

The important thing is to add plenty of detail and background information to enable someone who is unfamiliar with your layout, or objectives, to answer you question. It is important to remember that others are not mind readers.

Explain the problem as clearly as possible – you can even mention solutions you have tried that haven’t worked. The important thing is this; if the person answering the question doesn’t clearly understand your problem, or know what you are trying to achieve, it is likely the answer will be incomplete or even inaccurate.

The very kind people who share their time answering questions (and giving feedback) are genuinely trying to help, but sometimes it is very hard to offer any suggestions due to a lack of clear information in the original question.

Help Others In The Hobby

Also, if you do use this free service to ask a question, it would be really helpful if you could add feedback to thank the contributors. They are helping out voluntarily because they genuinely want to help others in the hobby.

One more thing; if you know the answer to any questions posted by others or can add some feedback to a question – please do. This service will only continue to operate if everyone contributes fairly. So, if you ask a question – have a look through the other postings to see if you can help someone else.
