Hey, I am back. I have moved to Florida. and just getting new layout started More later.

Just to let you guys know that in several recent cases (we've had two so far this week), there are those who start to register here, but fail to finish the process in a timely manner. When someone registers, they instantly get a email that contains a link that they have to click on to verify their email address. Mikey and I get notified when someone hasn't done that yet, and we're given the chance to either leave it be in hopes that they complete the process, pass them through without doing so or deleting them entirely. We've been giving them some time to finish, but not always. Let's take "zasamuelgoolet5118" who tried to register yesterday. He only spent 20 seconds on line here, was from Russia and his bio says, "dating". No chance that he will come back and if he did, I'd expect him to bring along some spam with him, so I deleted him. If he's truly interested in railroading and doesn't think this is a dating site, he'll retry, but I doubt it.  Oh yeah, we always check them out on SFS, if they appear there, we will pass them through, then ban them.

So if you see a "new member" and then a few hours later, he disappears, you now know why. As for those spammers, we always ban them to prevent them from re-registering.

Sometimes that's the only fun we get as mods and admins....

Cape Atlantic Cannery is having some operational problems, so WPMA-17 was instructed to drop their cars on the Crosswicks siding.

Often I find a photo that inspires me to try to create a similiar scene on the Leetown Division---here's a picture from an unknown photographer that I have tried to use as an example.

   

   

Dock Street's leased EMD MP15AC makes a pick up of empty paper cars at Pier 7.

Just saw a new (to me anyway) attempt at a scam.  Got an e-mail supposedly from Amazon saying I needed to sign in.  Interestingly enough a half hour earlier I had received an e-mail from Amazon telling me my order had shipped. 

The clue?  The bogus sender was amazon with a lower case.  If I had not had an e-mail from the real Amazon I might not have noticed it.

Beware!!! They are out to get you!

Bruce,

   

I've been a bit irritated by the amount of leafy refuse that's been falling off my trees and shrubs and ending up on the roads of White Haven.  I thought about buying a hobby vac, but never ran into one that I thought was work the expenditure and still has the ability to extend into arm-deep scenery.

What I really decided I wanted was the power of my shop vac with a small, semi-rigid snout that I could extend.  Rummaged through my workshop and found some discarded water supply line.  Stuck it in the Shop Vac, applied the painter's tape.  Tried it out, and works like a charm.

   

Was able to grab a shot of WPMA-29 on a different section of Lubbers Run.
