Let's keep our PHOTO FUN, enjoy your great hobby.

I don't have new pictures at this moment, but i still have some old ones in here.

Here there are...some closed up pix.

 

Your track detail, weeds and balast are really impressive work.  Which scale?

[Blue Flamer]

This is your original post, please show me where I missed your point.

To say that I'm enjoying the fact that the widget is annoying people is speculative at best.  You don't know me, and I don't recall ever telling you that I'm getting any enjoyment out of what's in my signature.  It's there because I like it, not for any other reason.

You have only to read his signature.

 

 

Some people, like Jasper, feel their purpose in life is to be a burr under someone's saddle.

 

EDIT:

To go back to train subject matter.  I took this picture for someone else's thread.  My pride and joy.

Small things amuse smaller minds. Just ignore it and he may just go away.

He's just an obnoxious

re:dave hikel's photos

I get a "picture" for each of his pictures which says:  "UPgrade to PRO .....bandwidth exceeded...Photobucket."

Anyone have any idea why? 

Chuck

 

 

He's exceeded the limit on his free Photobucket account. He can open a new account and continue posting photos from there.

I would never place you in the same context as Al, jasperofzeal.  You two are worlds apart.  His first and avowed intent is to disrupt and annoy people.  I never got the sense from you that it was your first aim.  Once I learned of the widget, I found it to be acceptable, personally, although I did ask myself what possible reason there would be to include it in one's signature if not to display something of your personality that you felt we should know.  I am still mystified.

I would like to apologize to the rest of the forum members for jumping the gun on Jasper's posts, I have never seen anything like that and me being the paranoid network security admin I am, it really spooked me. So I am sorry to all of you out there that had to endure or be sucked into an off topic topic about that stupid widget.  I thought that I had asked politely to have him remove it, but instead I got a lecture from him about how open and unprivate the internet is. What happened to common courtesy?

Anyhow, Thank you everyone, I'm done complaing and causing trouble for one day, now back to your regularly scheduled train/hotrod topics.

Peace.

You say you're a network security admin and you're not familiar at all with how some widgets use cookies and other identifiable information that any computer puts out on the internet?  You may want to go to your local community college and enroll in some network administration classes in order to keep up with the technology.  The widget that I had was forcefully removed by Bergie, not me; thanks to all the ones who complained and had to have it their way.  It's people like yourself that make this forum so un-appealing to visit and participate in.  I wonder if you're walking around your neighborhood complaining about how others live and do things?  Realize that there are many things in your surroundings that you have no control over.  You should also realize that we all have the right to a difference of opinions and thoughts.

To those of you that saw no harm in what I had in my signature, thank you for being smart enough and not letting paranoia get the best of you.  For those of you that complained about it, thanks for making this site unfriendly enough for me.  It's no wonder to me that Al decides to come around and give a hard time, I'm pretty sure that he was treated as an outsider as well.

Have a good one y'all.

A little...

For your...

Just an idea-maybe it can be that new A/C manufacturing plant on the edge of town that decided to design their building like their product! Not too far out there-there's the Longaberger Basket Co. HQ in Newark Ohio. They built their offices like a giant wicker basket, you can see it from a few miles off. I used to pass it on Route 16 when I went to the national Mopar shows in Newark. Google Longaberger & you'll see what I mean!

Maybe it would create some industry for the layout? Just an idea!  

Now there's an idea! I think I can come up with a sign that says 'Colder-n-ell A/C Manufacturing Corporation' to go between the intake and the louvers and maybe an outside elevator shaft going up one side of the front.

That'd be a huge factory!

 Sorry I got WFP off topic, but there are a lot of car guys here that enjoy trains as well. As my screen name shows (Cuda Ken) I am a Mopar person, and was in paint and body for 20 years. If anyone here has a question about Mopars from the early 60's to 72 I am your man, feel free to PM me any questions.

Four Dusters. (one a "Hang Ten and one a Gold Duster edition) Three Chargers. (One a 440, one a 383) One Fury III, One Cordoba, and one Coronet 440.
Now I'm into Jeep vehicles.(still kind of a Mopar)

[Ibflattop]

Ok since we are talking cars, I had a 76 OLds Cutlass with a 350 C.I. and a 400 Olds Rocket Tranny in High School. Man did that car Fly!!!!  I miss her,   :-(     Kevin

 The only thing wrong with it was the Color of the car. It was a Lime green that olds lime green that they had bck in 76. Remember it?   Kevin

[spectratone]

Um, not trying to be a party pooper, and maybe I'm pointing out the obvious, but didn't the weekend come to an end already?

 

I think maybe becuase  we're all out of work and don,t have anything better to do. Besides, we,re all family here anyway.

I'm not a Mopar guy, but I like Cuda Kens picture too.

I had a 68 Dodge Coronet R/T back in the early 80's. I just loved the sound of that big 426!

I had a 78 Plymouth Fury - I'll be banished from the forums if I tell you about that XXXX

ford ftw. i being 16 was not around during the muscle car era sadly but my dad had a 70 mach 1.

Crandell--

Your shot, which I like a LOT, made me think about a scene in a French film I recently purchased called BATTAILE DU RAIL about the French Maquis trying to interrupt German rail transport to the Normandy front in 1944.  In one scene, after a french train has been derailed, the Germans bring in a small crane to clear wreckage from the tracks and the crane ends up on its side along with the wrecked cars, due to its size and a little 'intervention' by a French railway saboteur, LOL!  Pretty clever. 

When I saw that little crane on the trestle, my immediate reaction was "Uh-oh!" 

Tom

[Loco]

Crandell, I really like seeing your progress on taking your photo skills to the next level - not to mention your good nature when we point out this, that, and the other.  Making a prototypical wreck would be one very difficult task indeed.

On that note, here is a link that some might find interesting about the U.P. & Metro crash.

AltoonaRailroader and 0-6-0, thanks for your compliments.  Yes, the scene was heaviliy staged, and obviously has some glaring inconsistencies.  The WP&Y railroad is narrow gauge, chief among the problems, so how could it be approached even by a well-meaning CPR 200 ton wrecking crane when it uses standard gauge?   Also, such a lift, if it were contemplated, would not be done from a wooden trestle...unless there was no other way.   The coal in the tender has not been mostly discharged by the force of the stop and gravity...but remains neatly ensconced in its enclosure.

This was an attempt to form and shoot a scene, getting to know my camera better.  I did this all on manual settings, except for focus.  It was fun, and I am pleased that the image has found favour for what it is.  I'll now try to set up something better for entry in a Photo-of-the-Month contest elsewhere.  My work with this project is just begun.  More hot hours under the halogens.

I vote we get back on topic...

Here's a few shots of PCRR 201 and CR 6089 arriving in the new White River Junction yard. They will be delivered to the Pennichuck Railroad (PCRR), which connects to the WRS at Concord for use on the PCRR.

Stored on the caboose/MOW track...

You taught the Bodine boys?  If you ever come to Charlotte, I will show you where his shop was.  The one he bought from Alan Kowicki's estate.  Hendrick Motor Sports also has one of the cars he used to drive for them on display in their museum.

The nice thing about VW Beetles was all the neat things you could make from them.  All you needed was a VW & a JC Whitney catalog...

Nice lookin' car but . . . . . . . . . .

I owned a 1953 Coronet that I bought used; my experience with that car says "never buy a used Dodge". What about a new Dodge? I did that in 1978 with an Aspen. I'll wear out shoe leather before I ever own another Chrysler Motors' product!

[jasperofzeal]

This is your original post, please show me where I missed your point.

While what Jeffery says is true, what is also true is that he enjoys the fact that it is annoying people.

To say that I'm enjoying the fact that the widget is annoying people is speculative at best.  You don't know me, and I don't recall ever telling you that I'm getting any enjoyment out of what's in my signature.  It's there because I like it, not for any other reason.

You have only to read his signature.

What does my signature have?  My name, a quote from the Matrix movie, and the widget.  You must have worked for the CIA as a profiler of some sort in order to gain such profound knowledge of me from just 3 things.

 

Some people, like Jasper, feel their purpose in life is to be a burr under someone's saddle.

Your opinion of me is based on a widget in my signature, not about anything else.  You're entitled to that, but at least get to know me some before you make conclusions regarding what I'm about.

EDIT:

To go back to train subject matter.  I took this picture for someone else's thread.  My pride and joy.

[Phoebe Vet]

I have no desire to redirect the thread.  I LOVE "weekend photo fun", so I will comment on the subject no more.

Let's see some more train pictures.

[howmus]

I had a 1956 VW Bug.... Does that count?  I also had a 1972 Super Beatle with an extractor exhast that could do wheelies in the Chemung School parking lot.  Todd (edit: sorry Brett was already in JH by that time) Bodine thought I was the "coolest" Music teacher possible..........   (He was a fourth grader back then.)

[Driline]

I also am not a Mopar guy but like CudaKen's picture.  I have had a '69 GTO, a '69 Corvette, and a '73 Oldsmobile 442.

You missed the point of my post.

I did not say that Jasper is violating any law or anyone's privacy.  I said that mirroring people's IP address in your posts is rude.  It annoys people, just as it would if you posted that picture of their house from Google or Virtual Earth.

My evaluation of your attitude comes from your belligerent insistence that you can do it if you want and people are powerless to stop you.  That indicates that you don't CARE if it annoys people.

I can see your point. Its also refreshing to hear someone "tell it like it is".
