Hi Everyone http://images.fairmarket.com/images/site495/members/715119-WavingSmiley.gif

Have a look at some great looking model trees http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

I am willing to offer you some of these trees for free! Well almost http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

Here's the skinny!

I am looking for tips, tricks, techniques, trivia, poll questions, photos etc. to be used on my web site.

For each tip, trick, technique you send me (which I don't already have) I will give you one credit!

For each Trivia question (w/answer) you get two credits!

For each poll question you also get two credits!

For each good quality photo you get two credits along with a mention of your name (if you wish) and where the photo was taken! (These can be digital photos sent via email, or regular 3 ½ X 5 or 4 x 6 photos sent via snail mail)

When you have 15 credits, I will ship you via priority mail, one dozen of my fabulous trees at no cost to yourself, free shipping even!

Now how can you beat that!

I'd love to hear from you!

Send me email if you are interested http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

What kind of trivia are you looking for?

Al Howard

Any kind of trivia related to railroading, model or prototype http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

Questions like on the millionaire show http://images.fairmarket.com/images/site495/members/715119-YakYak.gif

Such as what year was the famous UP Big Boy delivered from American Locomotive Co?
a. 1938
b. 1940 (the correct answer)
c. 1942
d. 1929

Any questions just to pique the interests of beginning and junior model railroaders.

I will need the correct answer of course, so when the person selects the correct answer, they will get some sort of a message or reply!

Poll questions are good also! Like who introduced you to model railroading?
a. A relative
b. A friend
c. A local train show
d. My teacher

In this case there is no correct answer, but when they select an answer, they will get a chart type response showing how many people selected that answer.

Photos of your layout, or any decent photos of anything related to railroading is quite good as well.

Thanks, Al

Yes! I'm with eHobbies. http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

However, my trees are built by me personally!

In fact it was while buying supplies for my trees that I first came into contact with eHobbies.

After I posted a number of topics, including an ad for my trees, and also reported to them some improper posts, they offered me the position as Train Forums Moderator! A great job for a Model Train hobbyist!

I hope my posting here is not a problem! If it is, please send me an email http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif

Thanks, Al Howard
