Update coming soon, promise!
Posted by rrinker on Friday, March 18, 2005 8:55 PM
My web page is WAY out of date with my layout construction. This weekend, i PROMISE I will get some pictures taken and uploaded to my site. I'll let you know when.
Basically, my father-in-law has a bunch of equipment he wants to put on Ebay, so I need to take some pictures of it for him. Rather than set up our old display board and piece of Tru-Scale track for a photo session, what better place than to just set the stuff on the layout and photograph it there, even if it is the Pink Plains of Pennsylvania for now? Two things required - all construction debris and unrelated things must be removed from the layout, AND I have to set up the camera. So while I'm at it I can finally get some updated pictures.

Sorry, no. Mostly freight cars and passenger cars that are inaccurately detailed for the paint schemes they carry - typical Bev-Bel PRR and Reading jobs, IHC passenger cars, that sort of thing.

Randy, I simply cannot read your home page. Can you either change the background color or the black text?

I'll see what I can do. It's the closest to Reading Green I could get. Shows up fine on FIrefox and IE for me.

Looks OK in Safari also. Spacemouse, try to increase the brightness on your monitor and add contrast if possible. The colors cause no problem for me to read it. And.. I'm color blind and deaf (that green is kinda loud)...... Not to mention that my arms have been getting shorter the last several months. LOL
