...but feel free to discuss returning a GG-1 to service! .
This is actually a very good question. The difference between GG1 return to service and turbo return to service is this: The GG1 has one thread. It's a bit out-in-space but it's confined to one thread and stays on-topic. The Turbo somehow found it's way into every and any thread. It could be a thread about the history of San Diego station baggage carts and before you know it, we're talking Turbos back to service. A thread about David Gunn's shoe size? Somehow we get to talking about Turboliner back to service. It was amazing how topics got perverted into turboliner discussions. So prior site ownership and mods - this was perhaps 2008 - put a total stop to discussion of turbos
returning to service. HIstoric discussion is ok because history can't really change.
