in a word, no. You have to sign up and be excepted by the moderator. Therefore you have to sign up with Yahoo. I've been on Yahoo, since the early 80's, never had any trouble with them.

Excatly what the guys have said above, all you need is a yahoo emaill address and to be accepted by the group and mod and your in. there is strict rules to adhere by, but as long as you do you shouldnt have any probelms. Ive built my rolling stock collection and engine collection by buying off of there, much better than ebay IMHO.

HOYS is a great group hats off to Pat for doing a great jog. For Yahoo, I've been a member of Yahoos since before there was Google and I've never had a problem with them.

You might also want to check out eBid.com (no fees) and bonanza.net. Great stores on both of those, and I've bought and sold there as well.

well i emailed him asking to explain to me what was wrong with my posting. I am not a era specific modeler. I'll take trailers from the 60's and put them on the same intermodal/tofc as EMP or JB hunt trailers. Its my train.
But whatever. I just think its silly. And my posting will be up shortly for stuff wanted.

This is the convo I had thru emails.
Him:If you are not willing to do the research to make specific requests, your posts will not go up
Me:I am a little stumped as to what you want me to do? I've gone thru walthers.com to see what you want me to research. The containers listed just have different side types, this is not a concern to me as I will take any of the ones that ar corrugated, smooth side, etc.
Him:I directed you to select what you wanted. Instead, you sent a list of three different kit manufacturers and all sizes of containers and trailers, some of which did not even function in the same era. For example, 40' trailers were out of service by the time 48' containers entered service.

As I have stated on several occasions to the membership, this sort of vague, broad post is not acceptable. You will waste the time of many potential sellers, and my responsibility is to the entire membership, not to one person. You need to research and pick out what you specifically want; I will not waste the time of the Group members with your post as curently constituted.
Me:I know 40 foot trailers didn't exist when 48's came out. I have 3 sets of older blue box impack spine kits that take the 40 footers, and I have a newer set from walthers that can use 48 footers.
As for the containers. If I said just Atlas, someone with Walthers containers might not reply. Thus thats why i had asked for all 3 makers of any model as im just looking to fill up my 4 intermodal sets with containers.
Patrick, I dont see how its a waste of time? If someone doesn't have the containers, they'll simply delete the post/email. If they have it, they'll contact me. If you want me to create 5 different messages, 1 for each item im looking for then i'll do that.
And his last message
Him:I'm not going to spend more time on this. I've told you what you need to do, and you will either do it or not. That is up to you.
Me:Seriously, im not a child. What you ask for is rediculous and going by what others say about you, it must be true. Remove me from this list as the amount of bu!!$#*t that needs to be done to post 1 simple thing is out of this world.
