Having some fun with an online Railroad: The LOLX Project!

[Anonymous]

A few members of the Brunswick RR Museum Chat & I decided the other day to come up with an online railroad. The LOLX RY, or Laughing out Loud railway, Is oficially online as of today. Here we have posted some custom 'painted' gif images of locomotives & Cars, and will soon have a route map & timetables 'connecting' our model railroad layouts. Anybody is welcome to join us, and to check out what we've done, we now have a website for it: http://keepsmesane.com/trainheartedguy/lolx

The main page doesn't come up for me, but the locos page does.

So if we want to submit a paint scheme we have to change the logos to LOL???

LRC commuter coaches are in the paint shop. I don't know how many at once. But I'd say about ten maximum for the passenger trains, & maybe up to 100 freights on average.

And why not? The thin got wrecked, bu I once had a switch engine, steam 0-6-0, with oversized engineer wearing a U S Cavelry uniform being chased by an ATSF Warbonnet complete with feather sticking out of the exhaust and arrow out of the Firemans windshield. Native American friend of mine thought that was absolutely the funniest thing.
