I was on the road last weekend. I did not see any evidence other than the 18 posts and the "attack."

Here I am, guilty of restarting when I had commited to myself not to come back to our teaser here.

Jim, I totally agree. However, I think at this stage the public humiliation is done and the moment where we all sort of "sign the petition" by sending e-mails (not PM, nobody seems to check. Unfortunately, a thank you note I sent via PM never seemed to have reached fwright) to the person in private. In fact, by doing this he has less reason to take "revenge" and cause more havoc. Civility breeds civility. Ghandiji taught this well.

Chip, I would agree with you, but this is at least his third chance. Digging up last weekend's WPF yields the evidence.

Wooot!!  Think I'm gett'en the hang of this photo taking thing!

UP2CSX LOL, I'll keep you in mind if and when I pass through your neck of the woodsWink [;)]  Truth be told I would love to put 'em on the road.  We have a large club in my area (or two), but just have not gotten involved much as yet.... I'm still learning the basics!

And for my next offering..... She is my only Challenger, # 3975 by Genesis.  She has the heavy steam Tsunami sound decoder.  The DCC work was done by one of the local LHS

Danged. I got so caught up in the drama that forgot what I meant to say.

There is a lot of awesome stuff here. You guys are rocking, and I'm patrolling the house late at night with a squirt gun in one hand and 409 in the other.

While I don't condone the attack on Jeffery, I suggest we cut Trentonizer a little slack. While any of the regulars know of Jeff's love of the hobby and his new camera, it's possible that TNZR does not.

I can remember several times when it was very popular for a large population of this board to come down on posters that created a lot of topics of "crap" or was was deemed as such.

I'm willing to give him a second chance.

This will be my last comment on this, Yoshi. While I generally agree with what you say, a public attack on a long time member deserves a public rebuke. I won't carry on a continuing discussion with this person but he needs to know that he's a low life that we'd rather not have around.

Let's say it all together now:

DNFTT...that's right...DNFTT. Do not feed the troll.

If you have something to say to him, please send him an e-mail. I already did conveying my honest feelings, just as he prefers. Keep the rest of this off our beloved WPF. We don't need one of the best threads in this forum's history, never marred by those who seek to damage the productive, constructive discussion we all enjoy, ruined just like that.

Loco, getting back to the topic thread, those are two nice looking Verandas. I always wanted one but could never seem to find them when I could afford them or afford them when I could find him. My layout is about 80% finished so I'll be happy to give your Verandas some tender loving care pulling some Farmer John specials if you want to ship them my way. Smile [:)]

Greetings all!  Got a bit of inspiration from all the great members and their photos. This is my first attempt at posting photos so.... here it goes.  (lol... ok first time was a bust, second try)

This is a shot of my two Verandas.  I don’t have much of a layout, only a 10x10 room with track tacked down to experiment with.  #61 was the first engine I ever programmed (just a few days ago!) followed by #71. 

I hope to have a few more photos to post up detailing all of my UP motive power.  But I’ll just keep this short.

You do have a right to your opinion. But there's a mature way of saying it and a rude way. His Photo's are anything but garbage I admire his passion for the Hobby and giving his best. Does it really matter If its a $1000 or a $10 camera. The photo's share his passion and love of his Hobby. And that in itself is respectable. And his pictures are always fun too look at. It's not spam or waste each of his pictures are different and each are enjoyable. Seeing someone make a layout thats perfect isn't fun. Seeing someone build a layout having fun and being proud of it is enjoyable. And there work is all the much better knowing they had fun making it.

That's My opinion.

PB & J, your photos are intriguing. They are a fantastic example of how structures differ from region to region. The midwestern bridges have covers over the side openings seperate from the roof and extend out from the base in both directions over the road. New England covered bridges are quite different. Interesting.

And by the way, every time I read your handle I get the urge to go to the kitchen and eat a big spoon of peanut butter Dinner [dinner].

I am still working abroad so have nothing of my own to contribute.  Just sending kudos for nice pics from everyone... seeing them keeps me interested in the hobby while I'm away, and they are always a source of good ideas.  Electrolove, the benchwork looks outstanding, and JKtrains, love the night shots.  Cheers.

Lothar,

Yes, Indeed, thats all the covered Bridges that cross the Big Darby, atleast all of them I know of... There are six others in Union County, but I didn't get up toward Byhalia today...

My main project was getting to photograph the CSX yard at Honda, but CSX didn't want to play ball, so I had to shoot and move...

Do youstill live in Union County or have you moved?... I live in Springfield, but I work for an appraosal company, so I spend a lot of time traipsing around the countryside...

Walt-Were those Big Darby bridges in Plain City? I used to work a few blocks away from that river. I've been across that green girder bridge a bunch of times.

This may be a breach of ettiquette, but I took a railfanning trip with my family today to get some shots of the CSX and ORTA tracks that service Honda in Marysville, Ohio and sidetracked to shoot some covered bridges (got some measurements on one of them too...  So here's some of the photos

JK,

That moon looks awfully cool for having been done with just some lights in the right place. You do have a talent for this. I'm still trying to get focus and exposure down right so more than one out of ten of my pics is good enough to post. Smile [:)]
