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?

I am still curious......why doe anyone need a thread "Lets just talk trains" when there are 88 cabillion threads here and at other kalmbach train related message board sites all talking about trains. People are already talking about them in every way shape viewpoint and aspec imaginable. Not only that the thread topics help define what is being discussed so one can choose to learn or converse on aspects of interest. "Lets talk trains" seems pretty generic and doen't really point to what kind of discussions one wants to have.

No one here knows you well enough yet to know if they like you or not. Everyone here will post their opinions about what they like and don't like all day long. That's a lot of what this forum is about. But that doesn't mean they're passing judgement on you. Don't get upset - let the comments be about the thread, not about you, because that's really how it is. Stick around and enjoy all the forum, and chime in whenever you want. This is a great place to learn about everything Model Railroading, and also a great place to share what you know. Your age may put off a few of the more curmudgeonly folks here, but don't let that stop you. We have a mixed bag of members, and quite a few are younger folks. I'm just short of 50 myself, and I sure have a lot left to learn. Maybe you know something I don't - don't give up on the forum before I have a chance to find out what it is! [^] Mark P.

I do not agree with it, therefore I'm welcoming to the young members of our hobby. They ARE our future, after all. Model railroading can help keep kids out of things such as drugs, pornography, etc., and if adults shun then from our great hobby, then some would be likely to run to these things as an alternative.

Better to "be one'self" and face what comes than trying to fit in and be something one isn't. If you are young, those of us without memory problems will take into account your youth, recalling that older folks treated us with patience and respect when we were trying to make a mark. We'll also recall that we made tons of errors of all kinds when we were younger, and profted from the experience. If there were no opportunities to make errors, where would we have learned about them? To all the youthful fellows out there, whatever your age, [:D] I will do my best to keep you happy here...even by making some errors of my own, both in judgement and in mechanics.

What do you yhink? Of course I love them completely, though. The gravity of it all. When I came to S.F. in 1968, I saw SP FP7's, GP-9's, SD-9's, SD-45's, FM switchers and I believe FM Trainmasters that were on the commute line to the S.F. Peninsula. Bloody nose paint scheme, gray with red nose. My nostalgia is pretty active with those days, but I like modern also. I model 50's, and a little 60's. I wi***here were more bloody nose painted, quality plastic locos. I'll be building an FM H12-44 on an Athearn S-12 drive with a Cary body from Bowser. that seems to be the only way to have an FM without the rounded windows like the Atlas models. The SP's didn't have rounded windows. I like the way the FM's look, like a cross between a brick and an elephant in the SP colors. The rounded windows break up the look too much for my taste. I'm rather talkative after coffee.

My freelance railroad, the Alberta Pacific used exclusively FM diesels until the late 1960s when it bought SD45s, and SW1500s, as well as the new FMs, H30-66, H36-66 and H20-46 (or was it 64?) for branchline service. It is widely cedited for keeping FM in business until the SD40-2 finished it off.

What gaugr are you modeling?? Talk later.. Mike...... I believe I did, but I'll have to ask my ex-wife if she still has any of them. I have a clear memory of an FP7 in bloody nose, sitting at the platform at 3rd and Townsend, that I may have shot. As for Richmond, there's a turntable and a gaggle of engines old and new. I was last there a few years back, so I don't know what's there and how accessible it is, but I'll give it a shot someday. I like going there. Once we were sitting at a cafe in Pt. Richmond nearby and a giant orange C44-9 (I'm pretty sure) pulled up and sat idling next to the patio where our table was. It was waiting for a switching move connected with it's train. Man, those are big! My group was nervous. I'm modeling in HO, its so much easier for the time/money challenged to find supplies and kits, and N would be a little blurrier for me.

H30-66 is the equivalent of the U30C and SD40, and the H20-64 is a branchline loco for working the APR's branchlines, kinda like the Milwaukee road's SDL39s (which the APR got some of later on) Matthew Go here for my rail shots! http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php?userid=9296 Building the CPR Kootenay division in N scale, blog here: http://kootenaymodelrailway.wordpress.com/ Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 6, 2005 1:22 PM Hey CSXtrains 23 at mainetrains in chelmsford MA they ave 3 MBTA N scale F40s 225 is pretty steeep though Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 6, 2005 3:37 PM Heyy guys!!! man i really want those mbta's but wow are they expensive!!! 225? thats really not a good price are most of the engines at maine trains like that? if so y dont u take a ride down too leominster lhs shepaug railroad company.. they have awesome prices!!! come check them out!
