uk.rec.models.rail is an unmoderated newsgroup for the discussion of 
railway model making, including conventional railways, tramways, 
industrial, narrow-gauge, trams, and monorails. Content should be 
relevant to the UK, for example:

    Modelling prototypes which operated within the UK
    Modelling UK railway scenery and structures
    Techniques and tools relevant to UK modellers
    Modelling prototypes of UK origin (eg prototypes built in the UK 
        exported to other countries)
    UK model making scales and standards
    UK model railway clubs and societies
    UK model railway publications (books and periodicals).
    UK model manufacturers and suppliers
    UK prototype issues which affect modelling
    Collecting models either made in the UK or of UK prototypes.

Discussion is open for all aspects of UK model railways, be they 
static, electric, clockwork, live-steam, internal combustion, 
pneumatic. There is no restriction of scale, though perhaps a 
general maximum should be Gauge 1, G scale and 16mm scale. Reviews 
of models, kits and accessories are encouraged. Participants are 
requested to keep to plain ASCII text for postings, and not use MIME 
or other more elaborate forms.


Advertising
Adverts should be clearly marked in the subject line (the words 
"AD", "For Sale", "Exhibition" or "Commercial" at the start of the 
subject line are recommended). 

Short (less than 20 line) commercial announcements relevant to UK 
rail model making are permitted (either manufacturers or traders), 
though extensive advertising lists are not permitted (these should 
be available by mail, ftp or http to interested readers). 

Commercial advertisers should not post adverts more frequently than 
once per month.

Private for-sale adverts are permitted, though should be short and concise.
Discussion/negotiation should be via private email. Announcements by model
railway clubs and societies are permitted, though should be concise and
relevant. Announcement of model railway shows is permitted. Blatant
off-topic or commercial advertising is not permitted.

Binaries
Binaries are not permitted on this group, however references to 
FTP-able material and Web URL's are welcomed.
