Hey, thanks Russ. I like participating here but I think the locals are being mighty nice to let us all fill up a couple of threads about another forum (even if it is gone...) Your group is a good way to keep in touch and take care of some unfinished threads from RR-Line without taking any more...

Remember that T&P spy van out in front of my house I was talking about a few weeks ago? Has anyone seen or heard from David in the past day or so? I'm on to him... He's messing with my wireless network, I just know it...:D Of course, maybe I should take it out of the box and turn it on...

Oof, Brian, GORGEOUS shot! Here's one with an Imperial Valley, California type sunset--mostly pink... Tom C'mon, people, let's see some more...

Carl is right on the money. I remember reading something about this in Trains magazine in the past couple of months. Under current regulations, an engine on the rear of a train is allowed to have its headlight (I believe dimmed) on as an EOT marker. As the rear engine has everything and more...

These pictures were taken in July of 1988 in Chandler, Arizona. Southern Pacific GP35R 6315 was leading a mixed train into the Dock block south of Chandler when a semi truck loaded with hogs tried to beat it across a marked but (then) un-gated crossing at Germann Road. The lead engine struck...

Thanks for the tips, Vic. Now I think my $90 bid on the classic 1989 Tyco caboose was too high... Darn impulse buying! But I only have 31 of them now. Surely this one will complete the collection...:D I like your strategy--I may try it. Thanks, Tom

Roflmao? Wasn't he the brother of the Late Chinese leader? Hey Wolv, if you see this, the emails I am sending you are cc'ing back to all my other email adresses OK. Sure the problem ain't at your end, O great and (network) overly knowledgeable one...? I don't know what's up, man! I'm not...

I'm usually into mostly modern stuff but when I saw Steve and Errol's boxcars I had to go with something a bit aged... Mine is a rusty old steel sided affair, hauled behind the old South Fork 3200 "Whatsit," being brought out of the desert near Eagle Mountain (or what I call the big lump on my...

(he, he...) How do you expect me to discern color with all this blue? I'm a black and white guy for the most part (well, actually, most people say I am in the gray area, but that is another story...):D Tom PS: Glad you're here. Wolv seems to be too busy to get into these little...

Joe, thanks for bringing it out into the light. I thought I was the only one who felt this way...:D I know a lot of you that do well on E-Bay, but I am just plain incompetent when it comes to finding deals. I usually end up staring in shock as someone pays $25 for a "classic" Tyco caboose...

Uh, Bonkyrail? Gotta' be yours buddy, you're the only one I know (Bonkyrailer, that is...):D Tom

Sorry about the previous post... Those who know me know that it is a sickness. I just can't help myself (he, he, he...):D :D :D Tom Proud member of the Nigerian Petroleum Company Tank Car Investment Group, INC, LTD, LLC, LOL...

Boy, you scared me when I started seeing these and not knowing about the spam. I thought you were mad at the The Gauge Railroad colors discussion...:eek: Even then, I felt compelled to show my support for the Tank car investment idea. How's this?...

Hey Wolv, the yardmaster thing is ANOTHER thing you must have "conveniently" forgotten to tell me about... Man I love yards. Where this be? Tom OK, I think it's your turn to harass me now...:D

Um, hey Dave, I don't want to scare you or nothin', but driving to work today I saw a whole bunch of cows that wasn't there yesterday... What do the cows you're looking for look like? These were furry, and some were sorta' brown, and had ears and tails... these yours?... Tom

Hey Phil, I'm glad I was able to hunt you down, you rascal! I still got a bazillion questions to throw at you (I mean--ask in moderation)...:D I was just getting warmed up (now, where's that big thick binder I had...? ):p Tom After all, my philosophy is... "if you can't figure...

Um, Wolv, I don't want to be negative here, but I live near California and it ain't nowhere NEAR Jefferson City... What the heck kind of gauge you using? Does your reference map have Pluto listed on it, by chance?:D Man, you gotta' get something with finer detail... Have you tries a USGS...

Ralph, first off, anybody that diss's the Penn will have to contend with both of us(he, he)--My great uncle was a conductor for the Penn and he was the finest man I've ever known. Now, being an Arizona boy, I only preach what I heard, but he had a lot of pride in his railroad...:) Secondly...

Yo! Hello all! I be here now thanks to the good graces of Mr. Bonkyrail. Tom, you and me seem to be the only ones who didn't know this was here! Thanks to all of you for keeping it a secret (why you little... (he, he)...:rolleyes: Nice site! Wow, I would have been two timin' on the...

new (old) friends... Boy, am I glad to see you all here... Especially David and Wolv, I just got used to givin' them a hard time...:D The rest of you I plan to continue to be nice to... PS: I got a nasty email from someone (who will go unnamed) accusing me of sticking up for Joe and...
