I like your idea of a year book and yes I would like to be included. I probably qualify for the lurker label, since I do not post very often. I do like to read the posts and glean knowledge from those with more experience and talent than myself. The pictures that you, Dr Wayne, RRMel and many others put up allow me to see what may be possible as I gain skills . I do post if I think my input is helpful. Thank all of you for what you do.

 Pretty cool idea Kevin, this from another Kevin, and borderline lurker. Not much time for modeling but enjoy the majority of the topics and try to file away as much info as possible. Every question I have asked has always been answered with great knowledge. Thanks All...

I was thinking about exactly that, but very few people share their location, and I was not going to be intrusive and ask.

The forum admisitrators could all a world map we could all pin. Many wargame and board game forums do that.

Thank you for the kind words Garry. I had a good time putting it all together.

I will admit I don't post on here very often lately, but I ask questions when I don't know and I will give help when I can as well.

Wow, you... Or at least I didn't realize how many faces, names, or avitars you become familiar with until you see them all in one place like this.

Cool idea, and nice job!Thumbs Up Dan

SeeYou190,

In spite to be a member of these forums, I consider myself being a lurker..

Nevertheless I would like my avatar to be included in this yearbook, since I do spend quite a lot of lurking time and do identify a lot of the contributing autors by their avatars...

Mine is a picture of me around my 3rd year, playing with somebody else's Maerklin train, back in the mid fifties...

Right now at nearly 70 years old, trains are still a great part of my life, it kinda sticks with you. 

Working on my N scale layout with US prototype every day, keeps that C stuff away!

You have a nice day,

Dredgeboater

Kevin, I got left out. I know that I don't have that many post but now that I'm retired maybe I can respond more. A lot of times I spent "learking" during breaks or at lunch and a lot of times I just feel that I learn more by "listening than talking" and some times someone has already said what I would have. So if I can I would like to be included also.

Thanks,

Ralph

Your user name and avatar have been added to the master for the yearbook.

Thank you for responding, and I am looking forward to hearing more from you.

Take care.

I never collected very many signatures in my high school yearbooks anyway. I guess that slipped my mined.

Hi Ralph,

As I was assembling the yearbook mosaic, probably about two months ago, I decided to stop adding "weebles", the generic avatars.

I remember seeing your name a couple of times, and you did meet my criteria I was using to add forum members, but I already had several rows of weeble avatars, so I was not adding any more of them.

Your user name and avatar will be included in the master for the future versions.

Thank you for responding.

I heard about this. Somewhere on Pine Island Road is what the rumor is.

The Hobby Hound, and Orcs & Wizards were both previously on Pine Island Road, I hope this new hobby shop does better.

Victory Models & Trains reopened, but they are in a new location almost to the beach, and that is too far. From my house I could be at Gulf Coast Model Railroading in Sarasota faster than I can get to Fort Myers Beach.

Didn't see my avatar but I seldom post.  I enjoy what others have to offer and all the photos.  My garage layout is over 20 years old, was built to run trains for grandchildren who are all adults now.  90% complete scenery and no more room for buildings or rr equipment.  Just running trains.  This is a cool idea, great job putting it together.

You are there! Go down to Captain Brigg, then go over to the right. You are next to the red KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN herald of Flying Crow.

Thank you. I worked on it for about four months.

In the last couple of weeks I decided to post it since it was a new year. Then I started mining for users. I think 50% of the avatars were added in that last two week period.
