I have been checking the google search out with searches that should show this forum, but It absolutely is coming up blank. I have seen the Yahoo bot and google bot working the site as members. Is it possible buried somewhere that they are being kept out?
If stuff starts hitting google and Yahoo it will help old members that haven't found us pinpoint the new Gauge.
I already have recruited one new member, but there are a lot from the old site that haven't migrated.

( Well I posted this on the Old Gauge today only to find out I was like a kid who came home and everyone had moved away with out telling me, geeze no lights,no water, no food in the cabinets, glad there was a bread trail )


Well after selling my home, and now settled in our new place, it is time for me to make a return. The Tennessee and Western is no more I had to rip it all up, but I did save enough to make a new start at the new home.

I have less room but at least this one will be inside (not in the garden shed) and being smaller maybe I can get it up and running sooner.

I am still going to do a 1930,s to early 1950,s theme, just have not decided on the topography yet.

I missed yall!!

hey guys, i was shooting some pics today. Last night i weathered 2 sets of my KATO TTX Maxi-IV Double Stack Container Cars, thought i would take some pics of them on my photo diorama. I was also going to do take pics of my six sets of Walthers TTX NSC 53' 3-Unit Double Stack cars, but the camera battery died when i was taking the last pic im posting here LOL

So these are the pics for now, until i can get the camera charged up again and shoot the whole train Hopefully in the next set of pics, i will also have the last set of Maxi-IV's weathered too as well as some of the Walthers NSC 53' well cars :mrgreen:

Anyways, here are the pics, hope you like them :mrgreen:

Ed, I have always been impressed with your photo "enhancing' and I was wondering if I, We, Us, could beg, plead with you to do some tutorials that us PS dummies could understand.
I have photo shop elements 2.0 as well as 5.0 and I have figured out how to do color correction and minor things, but as far as using layers the instructions I find are lacking for me. I know nothing about locking unlocking or any of that.

In this Nov. 2, 2008 file photo, Pakistani Sunni Muslims devotees return back to their homes on a packed train after attending annual religious congregation in Multan, Pakistan.

I would hate to be hanging onto the front while the train is moving. Better hold on tight!

Well, here we are at another turnout.. We have weathered storms, kept alive on the hopes and dreams of our hobby.

In the past 8 years, I have been a Moderator and them administrator of all 4 "gauges".. ezdays and the Moderators and I have seen way too much harassment, arguing, complaining, and other negative things here.

I stand on this post - my 8th anniversary (Saturday), saying to each and every one of you:
I wouldn't trade the bad times here for anything!!!!

The good times, the fun, the behind the scenes work all make up for any negativity here... The Gauge (now called Big Blue) is the greatest forum that I have ever been involved in...

and it's all your fault!!! Yes, you!! The members! The members make Big Blue what it is. you create things (Photos, scenery and railroads) for your own enjoyment, but you just don't keep it secret.. No!

You post these creations here, these manifestations of your mind and heart and soul.. for all to see!!!!

And that's the BEST PART for me, I truly enjoy seeing these things here, i enjoy sharing things I build too... And that's what this is really about! Eight years of "our Community" - all of us together.. one reason - To Share information!!!

Weather it's Chief Eagle with his Lake home, TomPM with his family, Doctorwayne with a picture or 4 or 5 Or My Daily weather report from LA..from Jeffrey...

We are a family here.. and if you still don't believe, that I am humbled... When we thought it was time to move on again, I helped build this board, along with Path and Ezdays!!

When times get tough here, always think of these things.. You are the basic foundation (Ballast???) of a great railroad board! Without the members, we would have no reason to survive, and our "road" would wash away in the rain......

Over the years we have lost many friends... Scoobylovin lost a young son.. horrible in any sense of the world's righteousness.

As far as Staff, here, We lost Matthyro and most recent Shamus.

You see, the bad is truly horrible here... in our little section of the universe....

But the good memories, the good thoughts and the good feelings we get from being here every day with each other help us cope,,,,,

'As of this post, I officially open BIG BLUE, formerly known as The Gauge!!

I welcome you all here - Again - Thanks for coming, We know it was your choice and we deeply appreciate it!!!!!

and look what I dug out of my archives!!!!!!!
