OK folks, time to pick the best of the best! :thumb: To refresh your memory on who took what photo, you'll have to dig through the archived contests, which in itself is a lot of fun! Does anyone remember who won "The Box" photo last July? Please let me know who and we'll have Mikey update...

And a pat on the back to all the entrars in the Nov/Dec contest! GReat job folks! http://the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=11730

Welcome to the-gauge, Mikey! The Fleischmanns I have run OK on code 100 track ("standard" for HO), but the wheel flanges are large, and I fear they would bump along the ties if you tried code 83, 75, etc. BTW: The "code" of the track is rail height in thousanths of inches, so code 100 is .100"...

I believe the snap swith is a #4 turnout, but it is a toy train set quality turnout (i.e. cheap) and the #4 custom line or whatever are layout quality (i.e. reliable). Atlas gets a bad rap for making bad turnouts when they are mearly addressing the toy market. I would use the snap switch for a...

:( This is a loss for the-gauge. Fred's a great modeler, moderator, and friend. jon

Great looking building, Frank!

This month's photo contest is prototype. It does not have to be a loco or train, as long as it's rail related. Only one entry per person. Must be your own photo. Please use the questions thread for this and all contest questions. You have until the end of January to get out in that lovely...

Let's vote!

I'll second that, Ron! We vote at the end for fun, but the whole thing is just for fun, and should be a light hearted event. The only way to lose is to not participate at some level. It's a win win situation for all that enter, vote, or even just enjoy the pics. OK, enough rambling jon, let's vote.

Sure are some fantastic pics here! Any more? Tomorrow night we'll close her down and put it to a vote, so any more should be submitted by tomorrow afternoon.

Nice lokey, Chris! I believe after 15 minutes of inactivity, what was considered new is reset as old. So Fred and Clarks advice is you best bet.

Thanks Andrew...

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! And to those who don't celebrate, I hope you had great other winter hollidays! I received some lovely gifts from dear friends. One a GP9 with an LED headlamp (yes I popped the hood on it and had a peek inside right away :) ), and a pair of HO trucks. I...

I thought some of you might enjoy reading his obituary: Curtis Mitchell Paulsen Obituary Curtis Mitchell Paulsen, age 78, of Rensselaer, Indiana, passed away December 13, 2004 at Home Hospital in Lafayette, Indiana. He was born on October 21, 1926 in Sioux City, Iowa to Jens and Bernice...

Thanks so much, friends. I wish I could answer each and every post. This is so meaningful to me. He was a great man, a war hero, enlisted and comissioned, and he made a great contribution to education and childrens programs like scouting and little league. He made sure there were no loosers on...

Hello my friends, Thank you all so much for you kind words of support, thoughts and prayors. They have and are helping me throug this ordeal. Last night my father passed away as I held him, my mother and wife on my side. My dear wife loved him as her father and he loved her as his own. I...

Your kind words mean more than you can believe. Thank you and God bless you all.

Helllo friends. I've not been on-line much for weeks, as I took a new position at my company and my father has fallen ill. It's pretty bad: >>My father is in ICU at Home Hospital. It's been a rough week, and >>they've finally determined he has cancer, and it's inoperable. He's too >>weak...

Dambid nice, Fred. Whatcha gunna tell the GK's??? :D

Come to the light, Jonathan, come to the light... What powers the end cab, and does it represent a particulare prototype? You knows how I loves a good critter! jon
