  Why do I have a white screen instead of a blue one?
Posted by: Russ Bellinis - 12-17-2008, 08:22 PM - Forum: Forum Problems and Requests - Replies (13)

I didn't realize until I posted my question about how to edit posts that I was supposed to have a blue screen with both an edit and quote button on it.

Every time I try to navigate around the site I keep having to sign in. In addition I cannot add this site to my favorites because for some reason my Internet access does not have you listed. I'll give it a day or so, maybe a few bugs have to worked out. Looking forward to seeing some of you all again.

  Nice HOn3 Article
Posted by: jefelectric - 12-17-2008, 07:18 PM - Forum: Narrow Gauge, Logging and Mining - Replies (3)

The January issue of RMC has an article on LInn Moedinger's HOn3 layout. For those who don't recognize the name, Linn is the president of the Strasburg RR. I'm not in HOn3, but I read eveything train related that I can get my hands on. Some other good stuff in this issue.

OK, It's a new forum so in case we get some one new I am shamelessly posting a few pictures of our locomotives.

  My First Time Posting Foe-Toes
Posted by: Santa Fe Du - 12-17-2008, 06:08 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (1)

Hello all, this is the first time I have ever tried to post "Foe-Toes, to borrow a phrase from Doc. Wayne", so if it doesn't work, I'll keep trying till I figure it out, 35 and I know there is a lot of work to be done on my HO layout, ie. blasting and much more, but this is where I am at at the present, and only aprox. 15% is this far along, so I will keep updating as I get more near completion. Well here goes nuttin Goldth Well sorry guys, I spent an hour trying, but by the time I reduced them to the required 79KB Max size, they were too small to make out any detail at all, I must be doing something wrong, or misunderstood something, but I reduced them to around 75KB, and when I previewed, they were around 2" X 2", and very blurry.

Santa Fe Do, "keep On Tootin"

  Avatars & font size....
Posted by: Steamtrains - 12-17-2008, 05:57 PM - Forum: Forum Problems and Requests - Replies (8)

Hi...I've tried every which way to place an avatar in my profile, but I've only seen an "EDIT" option, which doesn't allow me to place one....

Also, I've tried enlarging the font so's I can read without having stick my nose up against the screen (old eyes...), but It doesn't respond to the font size option in IE. I tried changing the size in the old forum, and it adjusted it right away....

Any help would surely be appreciated.

  leasing company name picked
Posted by: stuart_canada - 12-17-2008, 05:32 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (1)

leasing company name for my layout has been picked.
I decided on Canadian Locomotive Leasers
Roadname markings will be CLLX
the name i liked best was already in use and this way i keep the too serious modellers from being confused and telling me i am doing something wrong

all the non CN fleet with get a coat of Black Primer and get the roadmarkings painted over the next little while

first unit to be painted will be the new MP 15 . black with white lettering
will post pics when i get the letter from the local supplier

Greeting Guys

I just got here from the 'other site' but I wish to bring my avatar over. I cannot resize it ( as I am computer challenged ). Could it be done for me if I attach a link for it.

looking forward to joining in to the conversation.

  Google Bots?
Posted by: Charlie B - 12-17-2008, 03:55 PM - Forum: Forum Problems and Requests - Replies (5)

I have been checking the google search out with searches that should show this forum, but It absolutely is coming up blank. I have seen the Yahoo bot and google bot working the site as members. Is it possible buried somewhere that they are being kept out?
If stuff starts hitting google and Yahoo it will help old members that haven't found us pinpoint the new Gauge.
I already have recruited one new member, but there are a lot from the old site that haven't migrated.

  I am Back....well kind this is new!
Posted by: TN_Trainman - 12-17-2008, 03:34 PM - Forum: Lower Berth - Replies (7)

( Well I posted this on the Old Gauge today only to find out I was like a kid who came home and everyone had moved away with out telling me, geeze no lights,no water, no food in the cabinets, glad there was a bread trail Icon_lol )


Well after selling my home, and now settled in our new place, it is time for me to make a return. The Tennessee and Western is no more I had to rip it all up, but I did save enough to make a new start at the new home.

I have less room but at least this one will be inside (not in the garden shed) and being smaller maybe I can get it up and running sooner.

I am still going to do a 1930,s to early 1950,s theme, just have not decided on the topography yet.

I missed yall!!
