Hey everyone, is this going to be a new coffee shop?
Well, I got my best pic rejected from RP.net 'cause the lighting was too high. I think the scanner didn't give it justice. http://www.railpictures.net/viewreject.php?id=180523

I say this with full deference, but I happen to prefer the first image by a consdierable margin. Might be a factor of monitor settings.

I agree with selector. I am using a press ready monitor that has the highest rating for color BTW.

What is the purpose of a second Coffee Shop? We have one, and it has proven very popular. Why create a second one? If you want to talk about trains, there is a whole forum for you to browse. The Garden Railways forum went through this, and they had a multitude of "coffee houses." It got rather confusing, and annoyed many. I'd rather not see this go on here.

This was tried once before on here, the title of the topic even included something along the lines of a coffee shop, and it didn't fly. Why not just join with the currently existing Coffee Shop?

While you're in school, why don't you take an English class so you can learn how to spell? It would make reading your posts a lot more enjoyable...........

I agree with the above. Nothing against you Keith, but we really don't need another flame-fest going on. Leave it to the one coffee shop, please.

Well you have a point...

And you didn't make me mad. You're young and I can understand that.


Although, I gotta say, isn't this forum about trains?

By the way...Great username! [tup]

I prefer tea, but what the heck!
What I meant was that they said that the sun was too high, creating nasty shaows. If it wasn't for those **** bat wings, coulda been great with SD40-2s....

I too do not see the point of multiple threads on the same subject. And you say you want this to be about Trains, why make a thread so generic in a forum that is all about trains? If you want to talk trains, why not pick a subject and create a thread about it. This whole forum, in one way or another, is talking about trains.
