YOU DA MAN!!! MANY, MANY THANKS!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Thanks, pal. I can't figure out how to get my RR herald back into my signature or to make it my avatar, which is waht I would prefer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same here. I'll be going DCC and I'll want to get the views of other modelers. Any Digitrax Super Empire Builder users out there?

Testing...testing...testing.

I try to get my Windows Media Player radio tuner homed in on jazz/light jazz, but it has a way of dropping out after awhile. I like to listen to my jazz favorites (Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, The Crusaders, the Adderly brothers, Rippingtons, etc.), new age stuff, and classical. Bach, Mozart...

Unfortunately, I only remember the green paint jobs. Ron, is the red and cream color original to the NOPSI cars? Oh, my favorite bus line in NOLA? Hmmmmm....Magazine Steet? Tulane Avenue (and Nick's Big Train Bar!)? I think that my favorite bus route has always been Elysian Fields Ave. Nice ride...

Mike... CONGRATULATION!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :wave: :wave: :wave: My wife and I bought this ol' house in November of '99 and I'm just now getting around to creating a train room and office in the basement. I have studs and sheetrock up for the dividing wall, and have enclosed the...

Hello, Crew! For those interested, I just added a page to the Museum on the Chicago freight tunnel system. Right now I have three cards posted, but this has got to be the most unique city trolley system ever built. :cool: Russ :) :) :)

I had it going once before, but it's dropped out. Where do I go to re-link?

The Hudson Electric herald that goes under my signature isn't showing up. How do I correct this? Thanks! Russ

There's more to tagging railroad cars than just tagging them. Taggers from one side of the country can recognize another tagger's work and they 'send' messages and designs to each other via moble canvases....railroad cars. One tagger in Chicago may recognize work from another tagger living...

Hey, Chris! :wave: Well, let's see. I have a whole bunch of Beebe & Clegg books, my favorites being 'Mixed Train Daily' and 'Twentieth Century'. I have almost all of the series 'Narrow Gauge Pictorial', a couple on the East Broad Top narrow gauge RR, Hilton's 'American Narrow Gauge Railroads'...

Chris.. Traction Classics is a 3 volume set...this is volume 3. I pick up most of my books on eBay and have a pretty good sized RR library with a growing traction section. Wm. Middleton also wrote books on the history of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal in NYC. He was really a great RR...

I have two that I'm checking out right now. One is the CERA book 'Not Only Passengers' and Wm. Middleton's 'Traction Classics/Interurban Freight'. Great books for reference. The cigar was a second quality off-brand, but still a good smoke. My real favorites are Fuente Churchills or Hoyo De...

Hey, Fred! :wave: Well, pal, it's like this, see. I have a bunch of projects of all kinds going on in this ol' house and right now I'm building my model railroad room. I usually need to get some kind of stuff from Home Depot every Saturday morning just before working on the project at hand...

Hello, Crew! One of my rituals is to sit in my car in the Home Depot parking lot on a Saturday morning, smoke a cigar, drink a BEEEEEG coffee, listen to the radio, and thumb through a RR photo book. As Chris (Interurban) would also point out, electric railroads had interesting cabooses. Many...

Hey, Ken... Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. If you can't locate anyone around Cleveland to hang with, look up a hooby shop in the hobby shop directories in the back of the model railroad magazines and stop in! That may help chase the blues. Russ

Thanks for the info, guys! I have the traction books from Carstens and I located the Scale Models Traction & Trolley Quaterly website. Looks like subscription time here! I'll have to keep my eyes open for the others...I think I've seen back issues on eBay....I'll have to check. Thanks again! :wave:

Hey, Jim... Very sharp photos! Note that the marker light bracket holders are evident in the postcard, but the markers are mounted in your photo! Very cool looking...the 'streamlined' and the 'old time' together! :thumb: Russ :sleeping:

Hey Chris, Jet, & Crew! Any suggestions on traction magazines that I should consider subscribing to? I think that there's a few out there, I just don't know what they're like. Thanks! Russ
