    Guys, I have been following the "Gauge Railway" post, and I like the idea! However, the car reporting marks are a bit confusing, but I do know that we ALL have numbers. If you put your mouse over the PROFILE button at the bottom of a post you make, you will see that the line ends in a...

    Congratulations MDC Roundhouse

    I have the feeling I have answered this post before...strange. Anyhow, that was very impressive, since you live in an entirely different continent! My hats off to MDC. Like Tom, I have been impressed with the company ever since I got my first car from them. They are about the only...

    Thanks Pete! There are a few things that need improvement here, but thankfully it is not the people! A fellow Illinoisan! I lived in IL all my life, with the exception of the last year. I currently live in MO. I converse with a few others on the now defunct RR-Line forums that are...

    Railroad Line Forums

    Hey guys and gals, I emailed Joe yesterday on several things. I got mostly the same replies as you all did. I asked him about several different software and security solutions to try to get the forums back up, but it just seems to me that Joe doesn't want them back up. I guess I cannot...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Hi Shane, Well, I THOUGHT I had a forum package, but the software did not support multiple forums. It would have just been one big topic with a lot of sub-topics. NOPE! I will keep looking. I am trying to get a forum package that has chat along with it, so users can interact with one...

    Mike, Cool! Never thought of tying it in with that. Great idea! Though, would have to keep the forum as commercial-free as possible to get members. I would make you moderator of the ROCK forum. LOL! Later.

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Mike, You are correct. I just got the email from Joe. Although, depending on what OS he is running, he could run IIS and block out the offender's IP address, so they cannot get back in. I took a look at the software he was running, and it DOES work in conjunction with IIS. Anyhow, I...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Mike, Are they GONE for good or did he just bring them down to let everyone cool off, and so he can clean up the mess left behind? I don't think it is fair that we ALL should be punished for a few people's childish behavior. Anyhow, whatcha been doin'? I got a lot of the ballasting...

    John, Joe closed the forum because of all the babyfighting that was going on in the last couple of days. I do not happen to see the point here though. Anywhere you go, you are going to have this kind of conflict. It is human nature. Why punish the rest of us, who were NOT a party to...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Happy Turkey Day, Mike! Just keeping this thread from going to the bottom. I have been hard at work with my display module that I am creating for my new camera, when it gets here. Just last night I laid the track finally, and today after work started on the ballast. One question...

    Mike, Got the Walthers chainlink fencing replacement parts yesterday. So now I can work on the hard-to-do task, and finish up the distrib facility. I am going to try that Krylon clear spray and see what that does to a chalk job. When you mix chalks with a wet brush, they tend to adhere...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Mike, I have been saving since I arrived in Missouri. I have a separate RR account, and the bank is aware of the fact that I will use it for that purpose ONLY. I only took out a small amount this time ($800.00) for the list I gave in an earlier post and some extra structure and car kits...

    Rock Island Model Rosters

    Shane, Unless your layout is completed and you can run trains, the best thing I have found that keeps me busy is building kits and structures and weathering cars and motive power. I hate walking into a HS and trying to figure out what I want.. I pretty much always have a list of things I...

    Mike, Pics will be forthcoming but it is up to the decal paper arriving, the new digital camera being bought, and the arrival of the new coal unit motive power. I'd say you have a dilemma there. Ever try eenie meenie miney moe? LOL! Personally, I would go with the ROCK unit, but I...
