Chloe, I’ll have a roast beef sandwich (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, but skip the mayo) and a large Wild Cherry Pepsi. Also, drinks for everyone present. <br /> <br />Hiya clubbers, I guess nobody’s here so I’ll just leave a message. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by LilRob1974</i> <br />Ken, those are some really cool[8D] pics, dude. <br />[/quote] <br />Thanx Rob! <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by philnrunt</i> <br />Kenlarsen- Be verwy verwy careful- thats how they get you! They just lay in the box, looking all innocent, then the next thing you know, you have them setting in a mock lash-up, "just to see what they would look like", then you have magniviewers on, sweat is running and even tho you are diabetic, you don't eat because you just have " a few more parts to attach!" Oh, my friend, I know the feeling… <br />[/quote] <br />Phil, I wish I had heeded your warning, but I blew it (see the later part of this post)…! <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Fergmiester</i> <br />Ken: Job well done on the engines! Too bad their not steam. <br />[/quote] <br />Thanx Ferg, I might say the same about your bridges, they look great – even when there is a Budd car going across them instead of a steamer![:D] And those ore jennies are definitely orange’r than mine. <br /> <br />Cape-Jim: Thanx for telling me about that Rail Paint Shop link, I wonder why I didn’t remember that from a few years earlier – must be that early-onset halfzheimer’s that Teffy warned me about! Anyhow, I put it to use designing a possible paint scheme for my ‘J’ locos which are to be repainted for my private pike, the Iron Belt. I did 2 variations so far – one with black trim on the top, the other without. (The trucks and fuel tank will remain silver, but be heavily weathered.) <br /> <br />[img]http://trainweb.org/ironbelt/images/sd38-2_side_IB01d.gif[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://trainweb.org/ironbelt/images/sd38_end_IB01d.gif[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://trainweb.org/ironbelt/images/sd38-2_side_IB01e.gif[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://trainweb.org/ironbelt/images/sd38_end_IB01e.gif[/img] <br /> <br />(All of the above images originated from the Railroad Paint Shop, at: http://paintshop.railfan.net/home.html ) <br /> <br />I’m open to any suggestions for ‘tweaking’ on either of the two schemes. <br /> <br />Only one problem (as Northern Phil alluded to above): I’m <i>not making any progress on my layout!</i> [banghead] <br /> <br />I’m outta here, see y’all later… <br />
