WAITING FOR THE TRAIN

[Roy]

Label your thread clearly, and put it on the three rail board.

4. Regarding my posting a clearly labeled scenery-oriented thread and putting it on the "three rail board," No.

I didn't mean to sound like I was telling you what to do, but I can see it now. I just wanted it to be easy for others to find your layout picture posts. Post them or not; suit yourself.

As for a separate scenery forum, I don't think it's necessary or desirable, at least at this time. Might be different, if our three rail participation was much greater. It's someone else's decision, though.

I never saw this entry. Where and when did you post this?

I posted it on MTJ on Mon Dec 11, 2017 12:22 am in response to Roger's complaint about lack of 3 rail topics and discussion.

Thanks, I just now read it thru-n-thru and found it an interesting exchange. I particularly enjoyed the part where you replied:

1. I like it.
2. It's a toy.
3. the prototype coal load reference... (photo of real-life hoppers was particularly effective and something I have learned from, for possible future modeling.)

So much can be lost when we don't have facial expressions........

Like this?

Yuuuup. It would be a challenge trying to say that in printed words, huh. Good example! Now lemme see ya smile. Come on. You can do it...(sans imogie, o'course.)

How do you spell a raspberry? Easy, use the same method Stephen Fry uses in composing his sentences, invent your own. Personally I like, "TTTTHPBT!"

Perfect. And totally authentic and heartfelt, too.

OK, so now describe that in words. Huh? Huh? Eh? (Who can?!) And get the full flavor of it.

With a little knowledge of Stephen Fry (who suffers from bipolar disorder), you might read the anigif as, "One more gammar nazi comment on my use of words and I am going to explode."
