Kevin, I got left out. I know that I don't have that many post but now that I'm retired maybe I can respond more. A lot of times I spent "learking" during breaks or at lunch and a lot of times I just feel that I learn more by "listening than talking" and some times someone has already said what I would have. So if I can I would like to be included also.

Thanks,

Ralph

SeeYou190,

In spite to be a member of these forums, I consider myself being a lurker..

Nevertheless I would like my avatar to be included in this yearbook, since I do spend quite a lot of lurking time and do identify a lot of the contributing autors by their avatars...

Mine is a picture of me around my 3rd year, playing with somebody else's Maerklin train, back in the mid fifties...

Right now at nearly 70 years old, trains are still a great part of my life, it kinda sticks with you. 

Working on my N scale layout with US prototype every day, keeps that C stuff away!

You have a nice day,

Dredgeboater

 

 

Better to be roughly right, than to be exactly wrong...

Nice work Wayne!

Thanks for taking the time to have a look, Mike, and thanks for your kind words, too.

EDIT:  Hmm, and now it works.

Here's a map of Wyoming. Just a smidge under 100,000 square miles. I live near the red dot. With Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, and both Dakotas as neighbors, we don't worry much about internet security.

I like your idea of a year book and yes I would like to be included.

Thank you for responding.

I have added your avatar to the master copy.

Thank you for your kind words. I am also very happy to hear that you get something from our discussions.

Wow, you... Or at least I didn't realize how many faces, names, or avitars you become familiar with until you see them all in one place like this.

Cool idea, and nice job!Thumbs Up Dan

I will admit I don't post on here very often lately, but I ask questions when I don't know and I will give help when I can as well.

Be a wild idea to change it to a globe map with everyones logo affixed where they live.

I was thinking about exactly that, but very few people share their location, and I was not going to be intrusive and ask.

The forum admisitrators could all a world map we could all pin. Many wargame and board game forums do that.

This is a great idea, and you did a fantastic job ! 

Thank you for the kind words Garry. I had a good time putting it all together.

 Pretty cool idea Kevin, this from another Kevin, and borderline lurker. Not much time for modeling but enjoy the majority of the topics and try to file away as much info as possible. Every question I have asked has always been answered with great knowledge. Thanks All...

I like your idea of a year book and yes I would like to be included. I probably qualify for the lurker label, since I do not post very often. I do like to read the posts and glean knowledge from those with more experience and talent than myself. The pictures that you, Dr Wayne, RRMel and many others put up allow me to see what may be possible as I gain skills . I do post if I think my input is helpful. Thank all of you for what you do.

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! Thumbs Up

Nice work Wayne!  

What gets me,  Anonymous has over 300,000 post!  Laugh

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!  Laugh
