Joe, I understand the need to close a thread due to anything you do not wish on your forum. However, the weekend photo fun thread by Driline each week helps keep my sanity since I have had to temporarily move to Las Vegas and can't work on my railroad. I so look forward to seeing everyone's fantastic work. Could you have just eliminated the poor content and allowed this great weekly thread to survive?

Thank you so much for listening...

Friends,

My professional travels will find me in Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins, CO for most of next week, flying in and out of Denver International.  I'll have some spare time at different times during the trip, and so other then a return visit to Caboose Hobbies, I'm looking for railfanning opportunities.

MRH is looking for a modeler local to Atlanta, GA who would like to help us during the National Train Show.

- Need to be a resident familiar with area (knows close source of office supplies or electronic goodies)
- Willing to help MRH set up and tear down Train Show booth
- Willing to help staff the booth during the Train Show
- Willing to let us drop-ship some booth materials in advance of the show

Without being maudlin or macabre, my recently diagnosed medical issues make time an important factor in my model railroading decisions. I enjoy my lone wolf operations, but I would like my shiny new locos -- Bachmann Shay, Climax and Mogul -- to look well-used. I simply don't have the luxury of time to learn new skills like airbrushing and powder weathering. Not seeking to win prizes or appear in magazines. I would just like my locos to look like they had been on the job for a couple of decades on a short line without a wash rack.
