Just noticed I've clicked over 10,000 posts!! I've been so busy with my job, business and life I haven't had much time for my layout or checking in on the greatest forum on the internet!I kind of put the layout on hold to accumulate materials to insulate and finish my out building. No fun railroading in a cold, damp building. Getting a lot of free stuff from my construction job. Pink foam and lumber out the wazoo! Still buying kits and working on them as time allows. I see a bunch of new names on the board. Welcome to all of you! GREAT place to hang out.
Anywho...Just thought I'd say hi and let everyone know I'm still alive and well and still in the Worlds Greatest Hobby!!
Hey!! Great to see you gone over the 10,000th!!
Started to wonder where you went. About your outbuilding---what size footprint is that building? You got it heated yet?

I myself just hit 1,000 (making this my 1,001th post), and just wanted to say that this is an excellent forum, and I'm ready for a thousand more!

My, my.
That is around 5 posts per day, every day, since you first joined the forum.
I joined around the same time you did, and I am only 9,700 posts behind you.
Congratulations.

blownout cylinder Hey!! Great to see you gone over the 10,000th!! Started to wonder where you went. About your outbuilding---what size footprint is that building? You got it heated yet?
Building is 20x20. Layout is 8x15. I've got a couple of 110v electric heaters and a propane and kerosene back up. After I get the insulation in, I'm installing an LG PTAC unit. (the kind you see in hotel rooms)Heat pump/Heat Strips/AC and dehumidifier all in one. (about $800) Operating cost is pretty low.The train building is also my office for my business. (maybe I can write it off??)
Yep! 10,000 posts! I truely hope at least a "few" of them where helpful to some of you!
Welcome back to the forum. It must be nice having money to spend on trains again. Of course, now you don't have any time to spend it! I don't tend to post very often anymore because I'm actually working on this thing instead of thinking about it!

Right! Most of my excessive post count came from being unemployed, depressed and out of hobby funds.But I'm feeling MUCH better NOW!Just have to learn the time/money/hobby balance thing now!(better than the latter......)
Good to hear that things are going well for you.

Loather,
I was searching for some older posts the other day. I saw one of your many posts and wondered about you and Ivanhen.

Hey Loather, I'm one of the newbies here now, been getting lots of great help! Glad to hear things are going good, I was in the same situation a year ago, now I have a good job, and funds for this expensive hobby!

Hmmmmm.... According to my current post rate, I should see 10K posts sometime after 2035, or so.
With the rate I am posting, I won´t reach the # 10,000 post before, say, 2016. There are a lot of "oldtimers" in this forum with counts way over this magic mark! Posting (and of course) reading is not only highly informative, but also addictive - that´s what my SWMBO keeps on telling me ...
Good to have you back, Loathar - I really like your posts!
You really need to get a life!! CONGRATS!!
Were your really gone? Actually, you were conspicuous by your absence and I was just about ready to send you a PM asking whether you were still assuming an upright position.

CB&Q4-8-4FanaticIs the outbuilding like an "outhouse"? Sorry, couldn't resist. But really what is an out building?
This is an out building. Basically a detached garage you don't park cars in.This is what I've been so busy helping to build. It's mostly finished and full of doctors. I'l post some finished pics next week. It has some beautiful brick and stone work on it.
