[Anonymous]

Hey guys- I guess this is my first post at our new place!! talked to Matthew via Email and the worlds on the front page are mine!

Hello.

Yesterday while running some errands with my dad, when we saw a CSX SD50 on the opint of a frieght. Sice I had my camera (you know, just in case) my dad chased the SD50 a ways so I could get a shot of it! I ot my first SD50 shot!!! I will post the pics if you guys care.

Noah- congrats on your module!!!! I know how it feels to accomplish somthing at a club. The club I am a part of is very cool, too. We have been re-habbing the basement for 4 years, and we recently began benchwork!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it !!!!!!! It is great !!!! [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] And I am really good with an air nailer![;)]

I may go to elmhurst and railfan the UP today. If I do, I will post pics.


Glad to see we eta frsh start on "our place" hope it stays as good as it is now.

For now,

Yes, we do want pics!!
My computer is Win. 98 ver. II, and a total waste of space. 128 megs of RAM and 14 gigs of memory. I havew more than that in my email accounts! I'm downloading the anti-virus now, and I think that I don't want tone, everything is back to usual crappy from '320x240 16 colours' crappy. It's back to all the glorious 1024x whateevr 32 bit colour.
Today I have an english project type ting and a physics lab to do. Fun!

Noah- that's great! Sounds like a great time! I have 2 decoders, 1 with a plug, and 1 with a disintegrated plug, neiether in engines because I don't have anywhere to run DCC right now.

Richard-Sorry to hear about the show, but I'm sure the cab ride will more than make up for it!

See ya all!

Nice shots Richard!!!!!!!! Good luck on your cabride, can't wait to hear about it. I did not go railfanning, so I am working on my layout...

I saw an SD50 yesterday!!! yall want pictures?

[Noah Hofrichter]

Matt, The way the decoders I have work, is that they are not plug 'n' play, they have clips that fit in the proper spots on an Athearn locomotive. So there is a little more work than just plugging it in, but I don't have to solder it either this way.

Chris, Thanks a lot for the comments on my photos on railpics and railimages! And yes, please post photos!

Okay, got these pics from the outside of WE 3034! At night my camera sucks, so try to enjoy!!!! This is the loco I rode in! WE 3034 (SD40-3) Rebuilt 07/99. Filmed all of the shots from the inside!!!!! 9 minutes and 45 seconds long!!! For a 6 mile ride!!! I enjoyed it and they said the weekend after Christmas, they're going to take me to go rail car switching!!!!!!! I really loved it!! Here are the two outside pics. Sorry I didn't get any of the inside!!!! Enjoy!!!!!

Cool Richard.... As Far as clubs go i reunited with the club Im a member of for the first time in over 10 months!.......... I work for a living, lol!!! but it was fun!...... It was at the carolina southern division super intendant of the NMRRA's house He has a 2 and a half layer, continuous lay out! like 10 or 11 miles of scale track! i was running a switcher around it and had to stop it a couple of times for passing trains but I eventually got a lap in, in a little under an hour lol!!! It was a lot of fun I took a cut of about 6 or 7 hoppers up to the upper yard and then picked up a load of 4 or 5 box cars and brought them to the bottom... it was super fun lol....
Heres a link the first pic is of the lay out i ran... it only one corner.... but its really cool!!!

As I've already explained. My cab pics are all on film!!!! I usually don't take stills unless I have time. And I didn't.

Besides, I didn't just want pics of the trip, I wanted to hear sound and see motion etc.!!!!

Hey guys,

Richard, congrats on the cab ride. Fun aren't they...

I'm not sticking around long tonight. I have to study for a Biology test, and I have a headache. I just want to go rest somewhere. Although, I may try installing another decoder tonight, this would be my first decoder install by myself if I can pull it off.

See ya around,
Noah
