    Hi Moose, a question for you. Do you have a web site about your model railroad? I may have missed this in some other area but you can confirm for me. A quick description of your empire will also help.
    Just post it here or e-mail me
    Thanks for your interest.

    As much as I would love to be involved, my modeling/rr web time is at its max, having just entered a PhD program online at the University of Leicester, England. Maybe I can join in about 4-years, when this education thing is out of the way!! Happy Modeling and I support NARA in spirit!

    I second what Catt says John. There is only one little job to do if you wish to and that is to add NARA to your web site. Not a have to but rather a choice to do so or not. I will be discussing what Catt or I would like to see on your web sites. We will create a small html file which should be easy for all that want it.

    Sounds good to me guys!! Happy to add it to my site (I guess since the layout that is featured on my site no longer exists, it too will be with you in spirit [​IMG]!! Once I get things up and running with the new layout, I can move the NARA info to that page, but that will be down the road a piece, I think!) Happy Modeling!!

    Been there, done that. I think I want to trim the border off the right side of the loco and I need to match the gray of the forums.

    Nice save Gary. [​IMG] I don't model Canada or the Eastern Seaboard either. Geritol is a product marketed in the US for over a hundred years. It's supposed to help old timers find energy and youth again.

    The software is Microsoft's PhotoDraw (an Adobe rip-off).

    Hopefully this won't offend the handcar and trolley crowds! [​IMG] Oh yeah, and the subway and monorail crowds.
