    Video of Layout

    chessie, all I can say is WOW! jawdrop The scenery is simply Bodacious! :goldcup: (someone needs to come up with a tongue-hanging-out smiley) The camera work, sound effects and narration really make it come to life. Season one was just a warm-up. Season two will be a blockbuster!

    These are all great pictures. And one of these days I'll have one to post. :cry: :cry: jeffrey, the weathering on your boxcar is superb. When I first looked at it I noticed the herald on the top right and thought that, considering the car's condition the last word only had three letters and was...

    Truck Jumps

    After reading McGilliCutty's thread on stuck trucks http://forum.zealot.com/t158364/ I felt that I just had to share this that I received in an email from a friend. Here is a truck driver looking for a job. Know anyone hiring? hamr According to the person who sent this, the driver has only...

    I think that if you check out some of the electronic supply houses you might find some small enough. Look for 1/16 watt or smaller.

    Using a locomotive as an oven!

    Tried that with a can of beans one time. Problem was we forgot to punch a hole on the can first. hamr hamr

    plastics hauled in the covered hoppers

    I'm no expert, and really don't know much about the field, but whenever they show programs on the Discover Channel, et al, they have big vats being filled with the little pellets. It seems like it would make sense, having a consistent base product that the customer can process for whatever they...

    Stuck trucks - 12 pictures

    Would it be all right if I emailed your pictures and commentary to some friends of mine? I know that they would get a kick out of them.

    Beware the Silent Killer

    Glad to hear it MM. Keep getting better every day. This last week or so I've had a series of medical problems. Was admitted to the hospital with fevers and a few other problems. Was diagnosed with a bevy of infections, antibiotic-resistant being one of the terms going around. They decided to...

    Video of Layout

    I've rewatched several of your videos and I believe that you are correct. It is more of an image of an arm or head, but still something to work with. Maybe try some gels on your lights. A caboose on an east bound train being bathed by the orange-red-gold glow of a prairie sunset.

    Signature info... does it interest you?

    I too have cut down a mite on my signature. I was informed that I had too many pictures, which seemed to indicate anything but words. Can't say I'm disappointed though. Who needs more than one smiley in their signature?

    Darwinism

    I was so reluctant to post this thread, afraid that it would be seen as glorifying the antics of one very foolish child. I can see now that it is better to voice our opinions, to let people see that there are idiots out there who are willing to take incredible risks for what?...a few seconds of...

    Car clasification

    My idea would be for a car with an express car style door (high & wide enough) and mount a typical van/bus heavy duty pneumatic wheelchair lift in it. Then either have car connections to go to an observation car, or deck the original car out with observation windows. Load 'em up and away we go!

    Video of Layout

    The videos were great as usual. One thing I noticed that I hadn't before was the play of light and shadow on some of the backdrops. Sometimes the shadow of a head or arm, occasionally a hand; nothing that detracts from the video as a whole. I got to wondering what it would be like if you...

    Signature info... does it interest you?

    I will usually glance at them, but don't often click on the links that lead to other Gaugers layouts because then I would spend hours and hours and not get to the threads I want to read on the Gauge. wall1 wall1 :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Some while back I started putting together a page of links...

    Need EVERYONES help! Please

    Another thing you could do would be to set up a computer with MS Trains on it that they could run. Would be even better of you had the Controller (can't think of the name right now) to go with it. Easy to set-up/tear-down. Not much wear and tear on the equipment and lets them get right into it...

    Darwinism

    :genius2: Since they like the thrill of almost getting killed, justice would be shipping these idiots to Iraq and making them IUD diffusers. All the close calls they could want and do some good as well. :rolleyes:
