  • i know the details. that's why i havent executed a plan yet. i dont yet have the money.

    operate? why not a static display? would cost less i think.

    i'm not giving up on this. CNW is my life.  i have lots of plans. i dont expect anything to happen within the next 5 years, but i will wait for as long as it will take to set my plan in motion. i'm devoted and i won't quit until i succeed

    Good ol' CN...there should be laws against that.

    Well, my photo deal pretty much fell through, some sorta budgeting issue. They offered me advertising on their website, but I don't really have enough service to advertise...they also offered me a free ride behind 2816, so I'll probably roll with it. I'll see if I can't get a cabride, too Wink [;)]

  • Well the news may have just gotten lot better for the DM&IR. Sounds like IC 6006 has been having some problems on the line and people at Proctor aren't very pleased with it. The whole idea of moving the ICs up there is now being given some additional thought by CN mainly due to the fact the ICs don't have dymanic braking.

  • And of course, had anyone in the CN bothered to walk up to any Missabe Division employee, they could have been told that from the beginning and saved all the trouble. While I've never run a train, I still wouldn't want to take a loaded ore train down Proctor Hill or the grade coming into Two Harbors without at least dynamic brakes. Of course, no one ever bothers to talk to the folks who actually run the trains. They're far too over-qualified to be consulted about these sorts of thingsSign - Dots [#dots]

  • well mr eby has been upgrading his drawings on trainiax.net like crazy lately. so i got back into the habit of painting them. here's my latest work:

    another "what if" idea, but clearly SD45Xs would've been awesome in CNW  

    Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.

  • Atmo, looks good. To bad the SD45X was only for SP and they only had a few locomotives. Hey how did you get it just the locomotive and not the rest of the paint is screen. I would like to post a locomotive I'm painting soon.
  • i dobnt understand the question

    Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.

    Sorry about that. What I ment was, I paint my locomotive on Paint. Now when I save it and load my locomotive up to Photo bucket it has the whole "canvas", or the large white area around it. Your's dosn't. How do you get it with out the "canvas".

  • You just have to size the canvas to fit. Using the selection tool in paint, create a selection  box the size you want the final drawing to be around the locomotive. Then click and drag it up into the top left corner as far as it'll go. Now go down as far to the bottom right corner as you can, and move the cursor around on the corner of the white space until you get a diagonal arrow to appear. Then click and drag the canvas back up towards the locomotive and right up around it. Most of the white space should disappear.

    Of course, if you simply download the picture from the website (by right clicking and hitting "save as") and open it in paint, it should already be the right size. You don't have to copy and paste it into a new document (which is what it sounds like you're doing).

  • well if you mean the white space at the bottom, i meant to put the captioning there but didnt get to it yet. that's why i credited mike in my post instead. the man sure can draw!
