Just starting up a new thread to replace the old one which was locked by Bergie because it was too long. Here's a link to the previous version:
Teen Model Railroader Place
Enjoy the new place, and here's a photo to kick off the new thread!
Well, as the first new post pertaining to model railroading on the new thread, why did I just say that?
Anyways, today, I sealed my U23B and a boxcar w/ my semi-gloss finish stuff, and I've added the powders to my boxcar (I went way overboard, but as I've seen the spray do, that should hopefully be a good thing. I'll have to see how it turns out b4 putting the powders onto the U23B).

Is the title implying that there will be a new thread every month, or will it be just like, yearly or something?

Ah, it'll go till Bergie kicks us out again. (sry bergie, just had to say that)
BigBlueConrail, looking forward to those pics.
Well, Bergie said a new thread would be started every month, but I don't know if this place is an exception - it took us over 16 months to get 136 pages, where the Flat Wheel Cafe and Elliot's Trackside Diner accumulate 300+ pages in less than a year. Maybe TMRP will have Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall editions? Bergie?
That stinks oh well? Heres to a great start to hopefully an even more successful Teen thread!

The new Trackside Diner opened only a few days ago, and it's already at 19 pages. It's been an average of 3-4 pgs per day. The new Flat Wheel Cafe opened tonight, and they will restart every season. Seeing that we don't get as many posts, maybe we should do it every six months or so. I must say, locking those old threads certainly has made the server much faster.
cool we got a new topic. and since i have not been here for a while my up date is..... nothing new.
I vote we should do like a seasonal thing, maybe a new thread every 6 months, like a Winter/Spring Edition and a Summer/Fall Edition.
I was wondering when the old thread was going to get locked...

I'm shooting for monthly for all such threads. Unfortunatley, regardless of ones age, I get accused of not treating all such threads fairly if I lock one and not all. (Yes, it's true.)

Well Back to trains... My Walthers order is expected here on the 19th! Although It may come on the 16th or 20th... Rapido released photos of their Osgood Bradley coaches (OMGZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and also announced new FP9s in a locomotive line, and cabeeses in a freight car line!
What decoder did you get for the ALP-44? I have a DP5X in mine and it was easy to install.
Heyo.
I saw the Rapido Telegraph as well, and although their new CP Van is expensive, boy is it ever nice! I am not exaclty into passenger, so I am happy Rapido announced a freight line.
Like I said, expensive, but worth it. I will order at least one, preferably 2.
I thought van was a CN term... Guess all of Canada uses it.
LVRC had interchange with both CV and CP, thus I think I can justify one of those for the interchange, although that requires CP power... joy!
If it wasn't $60 I'd buy one...
Thanks for the clarification, Bergie.
Think about it this way.
Let say it's about a 50 cents a part on the car. So you are paying for 120 pieces of plastic, already assembled.
Scratch that! It doesn't make me want to buy anything!
Yea, that doesn't really help. In fact, it almost kinda makes it worse.
Nice caboose Alex.
Well, my C-Liner runs good, and my rs-1 is good at slow speeds, so I'm happy. Oh, and that boxcar came out good.
Finally I can read threads.
I checked Athearn's page to see if the BN F45s got pushed back. I was suprised when they weren't showing a due date. Does that mean that they are being produced and shipped to distributors now?

I managed to get my SD9s speed matched last night. They run really great as a pair now. I might go back and re-do the wiring the in sound equiped unit. If I do I'll probably be able to make the sound quality a little better. When I put the speaker and speaker enclouser in the unit, I the end of it off so I would have to mill the weight. I put the now open enclouser on a piece of double sided ductape I put on the weight. I works okay, but sometimes the tape losses it grip, then the unit gets quiet. I'm hoping silicone sealent will provide an airtight seal. While I have the silicone sealent out, I'll work on my GP35.
Vincent
Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Vincent, they should be comming out now. I would wait a few weeks, but they should be in soon.
Humm, nice caboose...what about those ACR FP9s Alex?
What about the ACR FP9's?
No, I don't want to start modeling another railroad! If anything, I might one day get a VIA FP9, baggage and a few coaches to make a Montreal-Ottawa train. Then I could get the LRC cars with either the LRC engine, F40PH-2, or P42DC.
But no ACR FP9's...
Well I ment the other Alex, but do you have a link to them?
I've got an idea for my SCRail Inc. logo (changed it from SBRail to SCRail (Sawyer berry Rail to South carolina Rail )
I'll have to create it in paint though, I'll get back to ya on it, lol.
I tried to post the entire Rapido Telegraph, but it apprears that this place (or at least my posts) are now being moderated... I probably ain't supposed to post advertising stuff here...
That said, it isn't available on their website for another 1-2 weeks.
Whatsup guys.
Just got back from our game (that I only found out about this morning...) We lost, but I scored- 1st career goal.
Anyway, nothing new. Probably same tomorrow, may not be able to check in either. Got confirmation then study for band exam, which other than today's bio test, will be the easiest test I've ever taken.
Ha! You should see my band final! We need to cook deserts, and bring them in. Whoever actually goes gets to share the love, but your grade doesn't suffer if you sleep in!

You're not being moderated... It's a bug... I've gotten it before, and it is definitely a bug. I notified a moderator about the bug, they confirmed it and approved the post. Try posting it again; this bug is completely random when it appears.
