Hi there, glad to see that so many of us already made it to our new "home". It is not a big surprise that we have this new forum now, somehow I knew something like that would happen when Crowdgather took over the old Gauge. A BIG thanks to Don and Mikey and our good mods that they made the Big Blue possible. There is only one thing I have to complain about: I was sooo close to 1000 posts on the old forum... I know, they wouldn’t hand me the key to the restroom for a thousand posts, but at least I thought they’d let me in when it was raining … :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Anyway, good to be here!

But, can I ask what happened at the zealot?

I understand that there where some changes, but I guess I am not missing some key information...

Not that I am complaining, because I love the new digs!!

Matt

I love it!

It already resides on the top of my bookmarks.

I am thinking that zealot will no longer be my stomping grounds.

How do you do it so it works?

on the old forum i was able to embed the link and make a title for the link so you could click on it and it would take you to that thread....

Im trying to do it for my signature so everyone can find this thread:

<!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=144">viewtopic.php?f=29&t=144</a><!-- l -->

Its my Index Thread that all my threads of modeling work i do will be posted in

I tried doing this for the signature and it showed up exactly how i typed it in, but it works in the thread i posted above. If you click on the thread above, i have posted a link to my CAT module in that thread. that is what im trying to do with my signature, but it seems to not be working..... Do you have to do something special? enable some code?

Hi guys - thanks for the invite and glad to see "The gauge " is back again

Yup.
Feels a little more like home around here.
What's up, gang?

Ok so this obviously won't be from the first day of the layout and I promise to not include uninteresting pics, and I hope these progress pics help others as much as others that posted there layout steps had helped me.
Oh K guys here it is its a bit out of date so just kinda sort it out with your imagiminations
By the way the grey matter is roadway ( yes I know what it looks like )
the perimeter rail starting in the lower left is a 3% grade going up then leveling off at the top left inside then declines from the top right to just below the sawmill then there's a 2% grade rail inside of that doing the same . And lots of bridges
