I have been a member at the old place since 2005, but never seemed to have an occasion to post there...until two nights ago. Now I am here and must say it has tons of promise to show.

I look forward to "meeting" all of you as time goes on.

The last two PMs I "sent", as in wrote the message and clicked on "submit", went to the outbox. Q. I have looked, how do you get the message from the "outbox" to the receipient ??? Neither of them showed up in "sent mail". :?: :?: :?:

This is an Athearn GP38-2 I picked up recently. The shell is rtr quality and the chassis is the old blue box spline shaft drive with brass worms and has that characteristic Athearn growl that I like to hear.



It'll be lashed up tail to tail with this old warhorse I just rebuilt:

Any of you use printed paper back drops? I printed up some building pictures for my backdrop, and am wondering what to use to fasten them to the backdrop to keep them flat without the ink running. Right now I used clear tape to see how they look, but it looks hoaky.

I have a cordless keyboard and mouse by Microsoft, the store was sold out of Logitech keyboards and mice when I bought it. My keyboard frequently drops letters as I type, and if I hit the post button before I proof read, errors show up. On the old board I did a lot of editing my posts because I did most of my proof reading after I had posted. I don't see an edit button on this new forum.

I will have to do some shuffling of pics around, but construction began yesterday. Granted, I only did the first few steps, as I had alot of filing to do on the frame. There was an amazing amount of mold flash on it, and the rear drawbar assembly as well. That aside, the drivers are all installed, as well as the drawbar assembly for the tender. I am going to have to do some more filing though, as the geared driver is binding a bit . Today I start on the valve gear. I have to make a stop at the LHS and Home Depot. I need some better lube, and a few small round files.
Once again, my wife has taken our camera to work, so I will add pics when I have them to add, and I figure out where to host them.

Is it possible to have external links open a new window/tab by default, rather than navigating away from "Big Blue"?

Thanks,

This thread is intended to be a list of clubs, standards, and other modular related resources... Please add your links here!

Just wanted to say hello again to everyone and to say thank you to the folks who invited me here.
Glad to see the old place becoming new again.

Cool idea

Here is a shot of the passenger train pulling across the White River on my East Central Indiana (HO Scale) Railroad.
