    Hi lads. I'm Fireman_Skinner, or, you can call me skinna. I'm in Tasmania, Australia. I'm a volunteer fireman at the local railway museum. I'd be interested to know if anyone else is a volunteer/fireman/driver at a railway museum or railway/railroad..

    Volunteer as a fireman also at the North Shore Scenic railroad. Max is going to say something about this. I have oonce this year gone and fire for one of the trains.

  • 8575 lost it's idenity when it was patched. Some of you (I'm not pointing fingers) say "Who cares that its patched?" and then when the last engine from YOUR favorite fallen flag is patched you cry about it.
  • Yes, I could be a volunteer fireman/conductor but alas Im not 18. I am however, GCOR and USOR certified.

    And Alex, in respnse to your post, I COULD HONESTLY CARE LESS!! You are not getting any sympathy from me!

    Good - How about yopu never post about me again?
    Evan - You can totally take pics that good, all you need is a camera that can give you manual control, and a tripod.
    Anyways, math test tomorrow, probably the most serious of my tests....

    I'm on the loco every third sunday. All our steam locos are out of service. The latest one to go out of service has broken springs after she split a set of points in the yard. I was on the loco when it derailed. Lets just say that I'm always cautious when passing over facing points.

    no you didnt...

    boycott UP? good choice. though i have a green hat with the CNW ball and bar on it which could technically be considered UP, i as a CNW railfan will never consider CNW to be part of UP. they also sued Athearn. apparently Athearn didnt have a license or something. how in the hell does lionel not have a license for FIFTY YEARS?

    geez i bet UP's 6620 was a widenose or a dash 2

    Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.

  • Do any of you remember a while back when I deleted the original Teen Railfan Place topic?

    Anyone remember why?

    Because the participants were acting the same way you guys are acting now!

    - Stop banging on your chests and acting like a bunch of macho men

    - Stop swearing... and yes, using symbols counts as swearing

    - Stop being so petty

    - Stop ranting about the UP. Things changes fellas; try to deal with it without all this ridiculous debates (besides, Armour Yellow is a lot more attractive than New Zito Yellow!)

    - Stop the name calling. You guys sound like a bunch of children

    - If you have a problem with someone, e-mail forums@trains.com and report it.

    This topic will be a thing of the past if you guys don't clean up your act.
