You could have asked for some of mine,

I'd gladly have shared...

But you were too busy with your lemon-lime

twist locomotives to care... 

Edit: In all honesty I did not at all intend that to rhyme...

Heres the original before I found it poetic

I was thinking about that Friday night too! They could ahve the nick name, the Sprits.

Wo, it has been DEAD here. Ok who killed it?

I haven't been here lately because I took a trip up to the Iron Range! That was fun as heck. I got some nice al Maroon Missabe Consists, and I got to see some classic 645s in action. SD40-2s, and tunnel motors.

3 tunnel motors.

Empty T-Bird.

Loaded T-Bird.

If you guys want to see more pics go to Teen Railfan place, or you can PM me.

Now I just need some dull-coat, primer, and send the check for custom decals!

NO!!!!!! Don't delete the account, because she was posting in your account. Well, I have my doubt this is for real:

A) Why would she have interest to come and post?

B) Why did she use your account?

C) What are the chances she finds this thread and decides to post?

D) You make a big deal out of it, and you don't post for a long time.

Anyways, that's what I'm thinking. I've heard all too much of people creating two accounts on forums and chat groups, have an argument with themselves to attract a lot of attention.

But maybe I'm all wrong, hey it's only opinion! Whistling [:-^]

 You're right, don't delete the account, I read the post before looking at the poster (I assumed it was her account Sweety20001)

 A) She just wants to use the forum as a personal chatroom (she was looking for Elliots Trackside Diner)

B) She used my account because I forgot to log out. She had her own account, but mom told her she had no business coming on here, as she has no interest in the hobby.

C) She went to 'My Forums' and found one of the top on the list, this one.

D) As of late, she has also gone and created accounts for other stuff I have, such as e-mail(unbeknownst to my parents), and Travian. Why? AND I QUOTE "Zwinky and is getting boring; Do you want me to go back to Webkinz or something?" Also, check "Layouts and Layout building, I recently did a thread titled Layout Plan-- Critique Welcome, and have posted in the diner, and exchanging private messages with some people.

Any forceful response was directed to her, not you.

                                                                                   Cheers,

I really appreciate the plan GG, but a 4x8 is not feasible for me. Takes up to much space. I think I'll be making room in my room for a small shelf layout:

Now for the piece-de-resistance: the big layout. dbl. decker, no helix (the lower level only interacts w/ the top level once [interchange]). Top level-Aiken-Darkwater line:

Lower level- Augusta & Southern's Augusta trackage

Sory I ain't posted in a while. I was at Furman University Football camp, and was so beat, I didn't want to check the forums. I won the long punt and long throw, and my team was the chamnpions. Welcome Brandon. BTW, railroadnut, I understand how your sister bugs you (I got two younger ones [and a little brother{I'm the oldest}])

Thanks, but I have a long way to go. Personaly, I never think my photos are good enough. It's eather cropping, or angle, and lighting. I never seem to enjoy my shots as much as I do with others.

I realized I need to carry a camera on me anytime I go remotely near tracks! I got stopped by a Canadian Pacific train in town today, with some big engines- AC4400CW, maybe? I can't tell this type of engine from another, having grown up amongst just SD and GP 40's. This wouldn't be a big deal, except the only Class I railroad in town is Union Pacific! I guess CP is detouring through town due to the lovely flooding here in Wisconsin. I'm mad I had no camera, as I had front-row seats right at the gate! Guess I have to go railfanning tomorrow. Big Smile [:D]

Yep CP is Detouring. This was the only train i got in Red Wing. Hey, atleast it had a SD40 leading!

Wikious, to tell the diffrent between a CP AC4400 and a ES44AC is to see if it has a Beaver on the side. If it has a Beaver, or Dual Flags it's most likely a AC4400. It if just has "Canadian Pacific" on the side it's an ES44AC. I Could go more in Depth about how to tell the difference between the two, but that's for Teen Railfan place. Sorry for dragging  railfanning in here. lol.

Well I added a few more "painted" locomotive to ym roster.

WIN SD40 4000.

WIN SD40-2B 4200. The "Customer Service" locomotive.

WIN SD40-2 4201. This was an ex MILW unit. (Even though it doesn't say on the bottom, I'm saying it's ex MILW.)

WIN SD40-2 4205. this was the first Repainted ex UP SD40-2. This is also the only one that retains it's orginal nose bell.

These four locomotive swill be used on the transfers from Chicago stageing (East Stageing, it really doesn't start at chicago) and go to Random Lake/Minneapolis Stageing. (Again it really isn't Minneapolis, more like West stageing) From Minneapolis they will run up to Superior Stageing. (Again, not really Superior) Then they will make the long haul back to Chicago.
