, THANKS!

hey, NICE steamers!:thumb: of the three, i like the mallet the best, just something about articulated steam:thumb:

. *** announce1 ***ON A SIDE NOTE: well folks, i PERSONALLY THANK ALL!, that have followed AND contributed to this thread:thumb:

. this thread has turned into a MONSTER in size, ALOT of info is in this thread, tutorials, AND GREAT PICS!, not only posted by me, but by those that have contributed to this thread:thumb: . announce1 PROBLEM, for those seeing a thread this big in size, not many would take the time to go through it , thus, missing out on things they might find of interest in here

. announce1 SO FOLKS, THIS THREAD HAS COME TO...THE END OF THE LINE

. i feel if it gets ANY bigger, NO ONE will even attempt to read it

, and that, my friends, would be a waste. announce1 MY favorite part of this hobby is collecting engines, AND prototype pics of engines, and trying to make my models look EXACTLY like the prototype:thumb: . over the last 2 nights i have matched up proto pics with the models i have, last night i made a HUGE order with Walther's to get all the detail parts and decals i need to finish ALL(49) engines i have at the present time:thumb: . i thought about making a NEW THREAD, to post a pic of the prototype, with a pic of the completed model

, though i am not sure if i will as the "weekly engine pic" threads would also be a great place to post the finished engines:thumb: , would just have to wait for the week that particular engine would come up(the wait for a certain engine to come up would probably kill metooth1 ). announce1 ANYWAYS, THANK YOU, TO ALL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS THREAD!:thumb:

I have THOROUGHLY ENJOYED DOING THIS THREAD:thumb:

. as A HUGE UP FAN

, i am going to leave this thread as UP left their passenger service, the LAST TWO PICS i am posting on this thread are of the tail car on the LAST UP passenger train to roll down the tracks:thumb: . SEE YOU FOLKS IN THE FORUMS!:thumb:

ADIOS!!!

...oh yea, and...STAY ON TRACK!!!:thumb:

THANKS!
