-@all:
We do not have any cash/commercial transactions on this site, partly because of lack of resources. So far, all those who have requested T-shirts - both Monitors and members - have been provided one. No one has been refused a T-shirt. However, because of lack of resources, we cannot continue this forever.
.
But it is an interesting idea to have some sort...
more... of non-cash "site reward" on a monthly/weekly basis for some kinds of site participation. We can try some ideas.
.
For example, I myself have a long-standing hobby with model trains, and I have often wondered what it would be like to have a full-fledged market of Working IR loco and train models for ALL individual locos, trains and coaches, with a well-engineered track gauge system.
.
Although, such a rail-model market already exists to some extent in western countries, I am not aware of any such market here. For example, if I want to create my own working model of Prayagraj Express with WAP-7 loco running on pre-designed tracks, all details faithfully reproduced, it is not possible.
.
On behalf of the site, we can start a project to design from scratch, a full system of working models of all locos and coaches - with members participating in the design of individual components. Thereafter, we can reward our members with these working models based on their site participation.
.
Further suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
