Announcing the Big Blue 1st Birthday Bash
Yep, Big Blue will be one year old this December 17th. We want to celebrate and you’re all invited. One little twist though, like at all birthday parties, we’d like you to bring something along. Here’s what we have in mind.
We are opening a “party” thread and would like you to post pictures or attachments of something related to the Big Blue forums or the Big Blue Railroad. Here are some examples of what you can do:
Truly, the first three on the list have better possibilities, but the ideas are endless and we think you should be creative in your approach to this celebration. If you can, we’re asking you to try something unusual to help celebrate with us; regardless, just do something related to Big Blue or the Big Blue Railroad. Take pictures of what you do and post them in our “party” thread or if you do write something, post it as an attachment.
To help things along, we will publish a couple of different sheets of Big Blue and Big Blue Railroad logos that you can print out or use to make your own decals. You will find low resolution sheets (140K) in a following post, but if you want to download higher resolution (500K) sheets, you will find them here. Sheet 1 and Sheet 2
This is not a contest, there are no winners and there are no right or wrong things to do. If you are energetic and have more time on your hands than you deserve, you can do a couple of things, up to three different things and post them all in the “Party” thread. Your reward will be that you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing that everyone here will appreciate your efforts. Oh yeah, we will give out certificates of appreciation and for everyone that participates.
Oh yeah, remember the Gauge railroad cars that were going from one member to the other a few years back? Well, we’re not saying right now, but keep that in mind if your goal is to decorate a car for the new Big Blue & Gauge Railroad. There just may be a surprise around January that you could participate in. There are a few examples of what you can do in a following post.
The thread will open now and stay open until December 17th

We are opening a “party” thread and would like you to post pictures or attachments of something related to the Big Blue forums or the Big Blue Railroad. Here are some examples of what you can do:
- Build a “Big blue” structure for your layout
- Add something to your layout like maybe a “Big Blue” billboard, bridge or even just a sign.
- Decorate a loco or a car for the Big Blue Railroad.
- Be poetic, write a poem about Big Blue
- Get literary, compose a short story related to Big Blue, real or fiction
- Tell us in your own words what Big Blue means to you
- Decorate an item like a T-shirt or coffee cup with a Big Blue logo
- Bake a Big Blue cake or some Big Blue cookies.
- Stick Big Blue logos all over your car
- Smurf it up, paint yourself all blue and paste Big Blue logos all over (not recommended)
