You could have come here, kept a low profile and got all the information you needed. Your ego, matched only by your mouth, got in the way. You had to invent a story about being in MR and got caught.

Sorry your mad

Al, it's your history that causes you trouble, nothing else. You can blame everyone around you, but it's your actions that count. Man up and face the facts.

Thanks for the comedy, everyone.  I needed a laugh tonite.

Ladell, as you can tell I'm new to MR and this forum and so don't know you're past accomplishments or failings, if any.  From your website posted below, I'd say you are both blessed and cursed....

You're blessed because you've got a real talent for creating a great layout.

 You're cursed because you come across (at least to me, in this thread only) like a stubborn mule who's had burr stuck under his saddle.

Let your work and pictures speak for themselves, get over the past and move on.  Otherwise it'll eat at you.

A intelligant person will know the article is not written like that...

But an INTELLIGENT person knows what kind of person you are!  What railroad would have a stub-end fueling facility?

dude?!

[andrechapelon]

You submitted an article for publication and then you printed the text of that article on this website, the website of the publication to which you submitted the article?

Dude, do you know the meanings of the following?:

1. Two sandwiches short of a picnic

2. Smart as a naval architect who designs submarines with screen doors

3. Not playing with a full deck

4. Took one too many dives into an empty swimming pool

5. Two bricks shy of a full load

6. Elevator doesn't go to the penthouse

7. Lights on, nobody home

8. (German) - Er hat nicht alle Tassen im Schrank (translation - He doesn't have all the cups in the the cupboard)

Did you by any chance graduate from Texas A&M?

Texas Aggie jokes: http://halife.com/files/aggie.html

In Austria, the equivalent of a Texas Aggie is a Burgenlander.

In Germany, you might be a Texas Aggie if you hail from Ostfriesland.

Regardless of whether you're a Texas Aggie, a Burgenlander or an Ostfrieslander, items 1-8 will apply to you.

Sad thing is that if these are indeed photos of your work Ladell, you could really make a positive contribution to the hobby by letting us know some of your techniques.

Try to re-focus on the good that this hobby can give, not the negative.
Cheers, Mr. P   

 

Ok I will repost some pictures again.  There was a reason I removed them but I do not want to explain it.  Here they are

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice indeed. Another modeler over on the Atlas forum built a layout exactly like that. His screen name is Monster Railroad; also known as Parker Legend, Alfred Mayo and a number of other aliases.

Unfortunately he has been kicked off this forum many, many times. He often comes back under various names. Do you know him? Here is his page.

Thanks, I'd forgotten about those.

What do you mean "In Limbo"?

I think what TZ means is that the submitted item sits in the "Future articles" filing cabinet for a while before moving it to "Upcoming articles" filing cabinet.  In other words, nothing is done with it for a number of months, until MR figures out if and when they want to run the article in one of their issues.

Yes, and as I understand the legalities of it, once material is submitted to MR, it or any variations of it cannot be used for other projects or submitted to other publications.  This way MR will still have an exclusive on it when and if they publish it.  So that idea or concept is in limbo until they decide one way or another.  There used to be a "requirements for submissions" document posted on this site.  But I haven't been able to find it since the softare conversion.

Now I feel bad, after re-reading this thread, I realize that Ladell Bell has a stuttering problem.  It took him 9 posts to get out "dude?!"

[Brian M]

Ezielinski  - now THAT is funny!  And clever (unlike Al's immature nonsense). Made me laugh out loud.

 I agree about Al - good modelling, probably an otherwise sound guy, but wholly incapable of taking any sort of positive criticism about what the rest of us see as complete arrogance. It's obvious he will never change.  As Miss Doris Day once sensibly opined - Que Sera.

Thanks, Andre.  I had forgotten the happy meal one.   Does Lyra enjoy trains with Grandpa?  She's a real cutie.

So this was AL / Biggie back again!  Unless I missed recent visits it has been a while.  He did some great little photo essays back at the start on some of his projects.  IMO he had and has a lot to offer.  It is a real shame that each time it seems to end like this.
