It has been four years since I joined this group. In that time, these are the forum users I have come to know.
I know this is not an exhaustive list, and compiling it has been quite the effort.
If I missed anyone that should be included, please respond, and I will add you in. Lurkers... I especially would like to know about people that follow our discussions, but rarely post... please raise your hand.
I hope people enjoy seeing us all in one place. I think this is an interesting yearbook page.

SeeYou190I know this is not an exhaustive list, and compiling it has been quite the effort.
And a worthwhile effort it is, Kevin! Pretty neat!
Thanks, Ed
That is an Awesome Yearbook you have there.
I'm down there on the end, next to Mr Anonymous !
You sure must have spent a lot of time on this.

Your avatar has been added to the master.
Thank you for replying, you will be in the next edition of the yearbook.
Nice!
I appreciate your efforts Kevin
It took me a while to find me. I was very close to the end. That's okay as my mom used to say "Save The Best For Last"
Just kidding

If you want to move up, you need an avatar.
I think you had one at one time.
If you do not want to add it to the forum, you can post it and I will edit your entry.
EDIT: This looks cool!
Thanks Kevin
That would be cool because I don't know how to do that kind of stuff.
I may just go to the drawing board in between my bridge confusion when I get flustered and need a break
My daughter is quite talented with her fantasy drawings she does on her computer program. They are quite impressive. Maybe she might want to help me out.
Thanks for the sample. That is a really cool album cover
Neat idea Kevin!
I like your suggestion for Track Fiddler too. Great locomotive, great band. Win win.

Maybe you could set that one for my Avatar icon now and we can change it when my daughter comes up with a more personalized one.
Thanks

I won't post a new version of the yearbook until January, 2022, so your daughter has plenty of time.

And Thank you Overmod. I will definitely keep your kind offer in mind
I didnt see my avater in the yearbook, and I would love to be included in it, as its nearly been a year since March 2020 when I first joined the forums.
When the Forums were new and the whole idea of being able to chat with and learn from fellow modelers seemed so exciting, there was something of a craze for organizing Forum member get-togethers. I attended them at Trainfest in Milwaukee (where folks from Kalmbach would join us for a group photo, a tradition that continued until just a couple of years ago), the Mad City show in Madison WI, and Galesburg Railroad Days in Galesburg IL. I believe similar get togethers were held at other large train shows around the country.
Eventually Kalmbach's moderator in charge of the Forums, Erik "Bergie" Bergstrom, arranged for the creation of "Forum Member" T shirts with the idea that we'd wear them when railfanning or at train shows or railroad events and you were supposed to introduce yourself to your fellow Forum member. It worked that way for a while and I did indeed meet a number of Forum members from all over while wearing that T shirt, which I still have.
I even went railfanning with Bergie a few times and that is how my back view and that of two railfan buddies ended up on the cover of a Trains magazine pamphlet that was a promotional offer for new subscribers for years and years: the three of us are standing in a photo line while an Amtrak train approaches at Duplianville WI. It was a "proud" moment when Kathi Kube of the Trains staff asked for my autograph on her copy of that pamphlet, and specifically asked that I autograph it across my rear end. If the picture were retakn now there'd be even more space for the autograph that's for sure. Jelly donuts being what they are and all.
Those were the days.

Go down to Tinplate Toddler on the left hand side, then go to the right almost all the way.

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
Please put on some pants and cover up your Bear behind, this is a family forum.
Kevin, you need a hobby, have you ever thought of taking up model railroading.
All kidding aside the yearbook is really cool, it must have taken a lot of work, thanks for doing it.

Thanks for adding me. My year I've spent here has been very fun and informative. Looking forward to the future of this forum

Nice work Wayne!
What gets me, Anonymous has over 300,000 post!
Kevin, you better up the game my freind, no more sleeping, or doing anything else. If you want to catch him, there won't be anytime for anything else but posting, posting, and posting some more.
Get those thread topics going!
Wow Kevin, what a neat idea. Great job! Love the Van Halen album cover too. Great album. RIP EVH.

Well done Kevin,
It would be great if the well-known weebles like Track Fiddler could come up with avatars. Even as is, it would make an outstanding poster for a lot of train rooms!
