There is a new version of the forum software out that has some bug fixes. I'd like to get the site updated this evening in time for the big roll out. It'll probably take 30 min or so. I'd like to start at 1800 EST. The board will be unavailable during that time. Sorry for the short notice, but I want to get this in as soon as possible so I can get some other mods added.

I was browsing my local hobby shop and noticed they had three Athearn blue box F7s in various road names on sale. I decided to buy myself an early Christmas present and purchased one in Northern Pacific livery. Since it was mostly black already it was easy to convert it to a Penn Central F unit. Most of my locomotives are pretty dusty and road weary but I think I'll keep this one shiny clean.

Let's see your tree trains! Here's mine...

I like the procedure for posting photos here. It took a bit to become familiar with the process, but I find it friendlier than most others, and much easier to add photos and mix text. For a "Non-PC" ( in more ways than just computers) person, the process is quite intuitive, and easy to figure out.

No, the police aren't coming to get you... (should they be?) but rather I thought it'd be neat to see some black and white pictures of your favorite rail scene... or any scene for that matter. Let's see 'em!
If I start, we'll have nowhere to go but up! This is one of my favorites... A Challenger sitting next to the tail end of a Zephyr.

Is there a quote plus button somewhere. It makes it so you can grab quotes from multiple threads before entering/editing a new or existing post.
If there's not, is it too terribly difficult to add?
