Many people are very serious about the names of their railroad, towns, cities, and businesses - I'm not one of them.  If you are strictly protoypical you may have to stick to actual names although many "real" names are humorous.

So here are a few of my favorites that I came up with:

"Hum-Drums" - "We're always trying to drum up business"  (For a manufacturer / distributor of drums & barrels - owner Ima Drum)

I noticed that some posts with pictures have the ability to be viewed larger.  When you mouse over the picture a hand appears instead of an arrow.  On the pictures with the hand when you click while the hand is on the picture it enlarges and the hand may turn into a plus (+) sign that if you click again the picture gets even larger.

How is this done during the posting?  It the actual picture a link to another web location?

I think it is interesting to know what someone models and why they chose that railroad, theme, era, etc.

I model the Florida East Coast in 1960 in HO scale.I am going to model the 5th District which was the remnant of the main line to Key West. The area will be around Princeton which even into the early 70s was still very rural. There were produce packing houses, lumber yards and even a small rock quarry in the area. Ballast was limeston and there were grass and weeds around. Train 41/42 switched the area from Miami.

Is there a section of this website that describes how to use all the tools available to someone posting a message?  I found out how to post pictures by just messing around but there are a number of features that are supported I have no clue how to use.  A detailed "How to post to the MRH website" topic, written, illustrated and kept current by the site owners/support team(?) would be much appreciated.

Should it be the case I simply overlooked something, my apologies (and a request that you point me in the right direction).
