Folks:
There are a few compression artifacts that don't show up at the smaller size. Pay no heed to those.
Changed mine. I used google and found a pic of the best QB in NFL history, Brett favre, in his Green Bay Uniform playing in the snow. here's the full-size pic:

This is not my exact avatar photo, but it shows all of my four foot bridge over the "Mrs. Hippy River". The train is a 1960's Kansas City Zephyr which commonly had only three cars.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
On Saturday December 2, 1972 Terry Kirkland and I went up to Reader, Arkansas to see that steam railroad. On the way back to TEXAS we saw a northbound Cotton Belt freight parked in the siding at Maude, TEXAS. We got off U. S. 67 and went over to see the parked train. Terry being a railroad employee went and spoke with the brakeman on the ground to inquire about what was up. The brakeman told Terry that his train the PSSE, Pacific States Sunset East was in the hole for two sections of the Blue Streak Merchandise. Terry got back up on the embankment and shortly thereafter the Cotton Belt let fly with the first section of the Blue led by Espee U33C #8600. You could feel the heat waves from the hard working radiators as that train went by at 70 mile an hour. Ten minutes later on his block this second section showed up led by Cotton Belt SD45 #8974. After the second Blue rolled through the brakeman got back on his train and it departed north.

On New Years Day 2008, the kids and I went out for a ride to visit the caboose and park in Suwanee, GA. My daughter took a picture of me and my son with the 607 milepost on the NS Piedmont Division. Jamie

To me, the AVATAR is, merely, similar to a signature that one visually associates with a given poster. I think that many of the loco avatar pictures are pretty good. As suggested, the purpose of the shadow head is to get a lot of us to get off our buts to post a picture. You have to be careful in your choice of picture, so that it does not distort what we want us to see. Bob Hahn
Well, no need to "blow up" mine. It is from my alma-mater from which I graduated back in '70, the 12th class to graduate from USAFA.

Nor do I need to enlarge mine. My alma-mater (UW) is also in the MWC and it's the highest university in the US (we're talking elevation).

A friend made this picture from my engine at the FREMO meeting in Unna 1999.

Mine is a picture taken by a friend this past June in the East Broad Top Machine Shop. The efforts of fellow member Dave Richards powered up the 102 year old wheel lathe with an electric motor (formerly overhead belt driven) and is fully operational.
Heres the one I use. I got it off a old calender I had. I believe it was 2005.

Mine is from a badge on the door of my old truck (2003 Silverado 2500HD Duramax Diesel) (btw what a bad *** truck). I traded it in for a new Silverado 1/2 ton gas 5.3 liter when diesel fuel hit 4.75/gallon here last winter." mce_src="">

This is not my picture, and I can't remember where I got it so I can't give credit to the photographer, whoever it is, nice job.
