No Dude, that's cool. I just didn't understand.
I totally know what you mean about not having your fleet up to DCC standards. I have about 40+ engines and I think I have only 3 that are DCC worthy. I can't even run them until I get a system to program them. You are closer than me.

You call me somekind of troll for pointing out the facts? Well thats nice. This is not public humiliation either. I do not need to be scorned for my OPINION.

Man, for a just-a-come to this Forum, you sure chose the wrong member to snipe at. Just because his pictures do not meet your standards is irrelevent. As has been said earlier, it's Weekend Photo Fun NOT Weekend Photo Contest. Quit trying to hijack WPF and go climb back in your hole and pull the big rock closed behind you. When you have learned to treat the respected members of this Forum with the respect that they have earned AND are due, then you can join in as long as you PLAY NICE.
By the way, a Troll is something NASTY that lives under bridges and rocks and attacks innocent and unsuspecting passers-by. Something like you did to our friend Jeff and WPF. If you wish to continue with these type of tirades, I suggest that you start shaving the other end of your anatomy and walk backwards while standing on your hands and join in some other Forum. If they will put up with you.
Blue Flamer.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that you're off to a great start. Keep them coming. Throw some details under the Anticlimbers and give them a little weathering and you'll have some great engines.
Do you have more pictures of you layout?

Jeff,
I have to agree with conrail92 about your black & white photos: they really are neat.
If I can put my two cents in about our little troll problem is that I have a 6 megapixal camera that my wife paid a great deal for and my picture still come out crappy. It's hard when you don't have the right lighting or your scene isn't finish, but that isn't why were are here on this thread. We are here to post the fun we are having this weekend no matter where our layout is at in construction. I believe that when Jeffrey is all done with his layout, lighting and scenery, it will be special. But then again, who's layout is ever finished. Jeffrey keep showing us why Model railroading makes you happy. We thrive on that, and it rubs off.
here,s some Green in the desert.

Yep That's what i thought also!

I'm glad there are several forums to visit because each one tends to give me a different perspective than the other.Actually, my wife doesn't understand why I bother taking photos at all.

Actually in my world CNW bought UP and relocated the nose bells (except on SD40-2s) to the left side of the loco on the frame. Check my website for more info on the hobbies and model rr page.

I must say; your point was very clear! I kinda agree; although I must admit some of the photos aren't the best; for a $10 camera; they're as good as you can get! I especially like the one of the B/W steamer!
I do think we should just stop the arguement; it's geting us nowhere; and it's not a great first impression for new-comers!
Great photos everyone! I don't really have any new ones.......

To all the Jeff lovers out there I'll use this pic as an example. I don't dislike Jeff, I've never met him, never exchange emails with him so its not a personal attack since I don't know him personally, its a critic of the pic.
First, this same basic pic has been posted maybe a dozen times. Sure, sometimes the engines are different, but still the same pic over and over again.
Second, you can't read the paper signs above each loco. I'd sure like to, but because of the poor quality of the pic I can't. I can't even click on the photo to enlarge it because its as big as it gets.
Third, Jeff likes to talk about his homemade 'decals'. Well, even in this poor quality image I can see the yellow chevrons on the loco are not properly adhered to the nose. If that's his preferred method of homemade 'decals' - fine, but don't suggest they're comparable to inkjet decal making. You can tell them on every pic.
Fourth, was there a blizzard last night? All the white plaster in front of the locos are messing up the cheap camera's light meter. The white is way overexposed, which I would guess is the result of Jeff trying to adjust the photo's contrast so that the locos look alright. If the foreground area had been fininshed it would have eliminated this issue. And by the way, there was an earlier post that inquired if Jeff was modeling a winter scene because of the exposed plaster in another shot so I'm not the first to comment on the exposed plaster.
I could continue or I could pic one of Jeff's roughly 20 others posts in this thread.
Yes, the thread is called Weekend Photo Fun. It's no fun looking at basically the same poor quality pics 20 times over, each and every weekend. To those who think everything of Jeff's look great, then the emperor's new clothes are beautiful too. Remember, sometimes you cause more problems by not telling the truth.
Jeff, are trying to prove Trentonizer right? Haven't you already posted this pic in this very same thread? Check out Jeff's post dated 08-24-07 at 5:09 pm. It's the second pic in that post. Come on Jeff!! We've already seen it, if you're going to hijack the thread at least show new stuff and not the same old thing again and again. At least wait until next weekend to post duplicate pics!
for gods sake........ some one better email the moderator and tell him to warm up his index finger for all the delete buttons he's gotta press first thing monday morning! i just dont know what to say!
anyway everyones pic look good! i dont mind seeing them as i dont have any to post yet.
JKtrains - My point exactly
I really didnt want to get a fight started but everyone has come at me disagreeing hard. You can actually see it? Seriously? You see how he keeps on posting and doing it over and over just to do it. I know this has to get annoying to other people but no one will admit it or even tell this guy the damn truth. Instead they are having a grand time telling me that my father has not kicked my *** or that I am a troll. So here is the kicker, To be honest whether good or bad = troll. Thats the deal? everyone would love me if I said "great Job Jeff, I love your photos you post over and over and over, theyre fantastic" But since I say that most of the pictures of garbage and his continual posting is garbage then I am a bad guy, AKA A s shole. I am a good guy and I give credit where it is due. Even Conrail guys pictures and layout so far actually look good. They are interested to see BUT if he posted the same similar pics in this same topic 15 times it would get boring and quite annoying too. I went to that other forum Atlas and took a look at Inrails layout and WHOA!! His work and layout is great not to mentin his pictures came out great. I can surely see good work. Im not the bad guy here I am just the guy who shares his opinion. Im not a trol or any other gay word like that
First time I've ever seen WPF flame out!
