Dave,
I saw your profile name listed earlier under the Users Online heading and was wondering if you were just lurking or would post something. Good to have you with us! You've been missed. And beautiful work, as usual, on your newest layout.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
I'll post a few pics of the N scale Colorado Midland from my Facebook page but with the caveat that they won't last long:
And here's an overall shot of it at the Fall Train Expo Colorado show the weekend before last:
Modeling the Rio Grande Southern First District circa 1938-1946 in HOn3.
The prodigal son returns! The fatted calf dinner is being served even as we speak. Good to see you back, but sorry to hear about that beautiful PRR layout.
Photo hosting is becoming a real Achilles heal for this Forum. Many wonderful threads of the past that you would recall well or contributed to are no longer useful because the pics are gone.

I've not visited the Model Railroader forum much over the last few years but now that my modeling interests have changed, I thought I might poke my head in. Without a reliable photo hosting site I haven't figured out how I plan to share pictures yet...for what it's worth all of my modeling projects have their own Facebook pages to which I can "hot link," but those links are temporary and will typically disappear in a few weeks' time.
You may be surprised to know that I've sold my N scale PRR layout (GMR 2014) to a fellow N scale Pennsy modeler who lives out of state. For now it's in my basement until he can come out here to Colorado (I've been living in Colorado Springs for over 4 years now...and I don't know how to change the location info for my profile, LOL). I've been slowly selling off my N scale Pennsy and Conrail stuff.
My most recent N scale excursion has been a little 2.5 by 5 foot layout based on the Colorado Midland circa 1905. It has a little loop and a branch line...sort of based on the HO scale Laurel Highland trackplan from way back when.
Back around 1989 to about 1994 or so (so late high school/early college) I was dabbling in HOn3 inspired by two family trips to Colorado. At the time I had neither the skill nor the money to do any justice to it so I eventually moved on. Living in Colorado (and likely retiring from the Air Force here very soon) I could no longer fight the narrow gauge bug. With Blackstone's amazing locomotives and cars and the ConCor Galloping Goose, I felt it was finally time to return to an old passion...the Rio Grande Southern. So, my newest project will be a roughly 12 x 14 foot around-the-walls vignette of the Rio Grande Southern First District in HOn3.
In the meantime, I'd love to hear some ideas about photo hosting and about how to change my location from Navarre, FL to Colorado Springs.
