Thanks James for your support.   As you said,  we need special parts of some web sites for the
younger generations, not convert all our web sites to School Project sites.  I don't plan to change
my ALCo pages as they are not intended for school projects. They are intended for adult locomotive
researcher instead.

I don't think I asked for the train web site language to be "dumbed down" . I suggested less use of
gunzal type language. The advantage of using non gunzal language is that we might be better
understood by the wider non rail community and perhaps we might get more interest from the wider
community.  

The issue of non gunzal language is a side issue, anyway.  My main aim is to increase the positive
presentation of rail facts into the wider community; especially the school pupil community.  

Some of the other school project type web sites I have found include the following. If you know of
others, please pass them on.

[a] Farm machinery pictures 

[b] The cotton industry have some useful sites

Cheers
Peter
