Matthew, why did Eric (RR Redneck) get booted? I would like to know!!

[Noah Hofrichter]

Yeah, I'm here Nick!

I'll still post here once and a while when I have something useful, although I am going to kind of curtail my postings. Don't worry, I'm not abondoning the place! I'm just going to cut down. I need to cut down on my internet time anyway, with more time to work on the Layout!

But anyway, train related content: The WSOR had two engines up on the MALPM last night! 2053 and 2052. I spent a little while watching them last night, although nothing special, just the usual routine.

Cursing, flaming, and generally breaking trains.com rules.

I am still here guys!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, I can;t beleive Lotus got the boot...

OK, you guys are here, let's cut down on the IMing, OK?
Here is the email I got from Bergie about Eric:

We received several complaints about his poor choice of language and
general disrespect to other members. I think the straw that broke the
camel's back was when one of our moderators read this response to a
fellow forum member who had asked a basic question:

"I haven't been on this forum long, but that was the stupidest ****ing
question I've read."

There's no place for that in our forum. I won't let him treat other
users like that, just as I wouldn't let other users treat him like that.
There's a certain level of respect that's needed in order to be a member
of our forum. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be able to exhibit that.

That's why he was locked. When he joined again, another member tipped me
off to it and he was locked again.

I hope this clears things up.

I also posted this on my forum.
I had a long day out, that's why I haven't been hree, plus we do need to cut down on IMing. I had a physics test, and I think I did well. I have got my own domain name, www.cpfoamer.tk (pretty good one, eh?) it needs a lot of work to bring the site up, though.
Tomorrow I get to do railfanning on the way to school!
Nick, I think you should tell us a bit more than just "Come over to CTRG", I am doing that already!

Remember when I said I would bike to school along the rail line today? this morning's forcast: Temperature, -20c, wind, gusts to 70Km/h, snow, visibility 200m....I saw a car almost mow down some pedestrians this morning, the snow is covering the ice, and it's REALLY COLD!!!

[Noah Hofrichter]

Ouch, that sounds like a cold ride Matt! I know what it;s like to ride to school in that kinda weather though......

Not a whole lot in the way of trains today. I am waiting for an appearance from the WSOR Local tonight, hopefully he will show up before I go to bed. But, in the mean time I've got homework, so I think I'll get going. See ya all later!

Chris out!

Here is a pic I drew of CSX 454 (Spirit of Magnolia). It isn't my finest quality since I drew it in the dim light FREE-HANDED!!!!! Not Bragging! Anyways, I didn't color over the numbering and 'Spirit of Magnolia' marks. I am not finished as you can tell and need to get a black marker and finish up the trucks and some loco details. The pic isn't sideways, it's just how my tripod was standing. I also need to shade the long hood light gray. Enjoy!!!!
