Here's a copy of a sample certificate that we will be awarding depending on the challenge or contest being held at that time. It will be 8.5" x 11" so it can be printed on regular sized paper, but since will be a jpg, you can size it to fit any frame. It's just our way of recognizing talent and effort.

How about we get the link for the XTrakCad program on the New Big Blue? Someone got the link to where one can download it?

Also, if you got any other programs that you would like to share with us, post em here for others to try out and use for layout planning

I found these, damn cool looking <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.greenwayproducts.com/a_machine.shtml">http://www.greenwayproducts.com/a_machine.shtml</a><!-- m -->

Surface Grinder $4.00
Milling Machine $4.50

I will buy some of these in a few weeks, minimum order is $25 for shipping orders, they are located in Ligonier, Pa so if they stiff me i'll take a ride out 8-)

preferably workers who are sitting in a car/truck, maybe with their arms out operating, anyone have a link to a website or a set they bought before?

i was curious what the most popular type of locomotiveon your layout is.
if i break it down by type of locomotive on my layout it would break down as the following
EMD models
SW 1200
6 models varous roadnames
GP 7/ 9 I never can tell them apart
6 models mostly CNR
GP 30, 40 and 40-2W
9 models various roadnames
SD 40-2
9 models various roadnames, but mostly CN and CP
SD 70Mac
1 unit
DD 40
1 unit
MP 15DC
1 unit
F unit
1 unit. CNR

GE models
Dash 8-40CW
3 models all LMS
Dash 9-44
1 unit BCR

Alco
RS 3
2 units both CN

i find it strange that I have so many EMD units since I perfer GEmodels , other than switchers. since I have a switching layout the big work horses do not get out much
what is your break down by Locomotive makers?
