Peteski - It's in the caption for the header photo.  Actually, a liberal interpretation would allow either spelling.
I only ROLL my eyes when someone commenting on a typo makes a typo.

  I basically try to do what I find wouldn't annoy me.

You writing is annoying to me, so I try to do the same, which is why I don't post anything.

 
I'm only joking just FYI.
Also it's "Ain't Nobody got time fo' that!"

When I attended the JAM Convention (Japanese equivalent of the NMRA) in Tokyo for years ago the convention center where it was held was called “The Big Sight”.

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS!   I doo see the sight site, um, the problem.  More often I see "sight" used in reference to a Web site. Speeling problems here? Noooo!

I’ve been painting a lot this week.

My S13s are coming along:



I painted seven modified Concor cars for my VIA Rail Canadian consist (which should pretty much garauntee Rapido will announce it - you’re welcome):



And I also painted a Central Hobbies/Kaslo Shops resin FP9 which has been sitting assembled for a few years:

Day 1 in the books for the layout tours.  Great to put a couple faces to names here.  Hoping tomorrows turnout is a little better, numbers today were about 1/2 as many as years past for Saturday.

Today I went to Clark's Trading Post in Woodstock, NH. They were celebrating 60 years of steam trains, and had all of their collection out. They have a working Climax and one 2-4-2 Porter and one 0-4-0 Porter(very small)and also have a working original REO Speedwagon railbus. They also have a Shay and Heisler, but they are currently not operational, but were shined up for the event, and used with operating locos.  And last, they have a working ex Army GE 65 tonner. To round things out they have the last covered bridge you can ride a train through.

What is this post responding to?  Sight vs.site?  I also have to rool my eyes when that mistake is made,  but I don't' see either  used in this thread.
... I basically try to do what I find wouldn't annoy me.

Yes P'ski...
The monologue in the headline pic.
I already selectively avoid posts- but generic 'Weekenders' are more difficult to avoid.

But I do agree 1000% about needlessly quoting long strings of photos.  That is very annoying to have to scroll down the repeating string of photos, over, and over, and over, and over, and over again!     Nobody ain't got time for that!! 
If quoting some image is important  to my reply, I just include that photo (deleting the other ones from the quote. I usually also resize it to about 300-500 pixel width to make it look like a large thumbnail instead of the full size photos.  I basically try to do what I find wouldn't annoy me.

FWIW, can duplicate photos/ links be removed/ trimmed when quoting a response to something.
Makes pages all but unreadable when ad nauseum quoting gets done.

I hope my future engine house looks half as good as yours Mark.

I started weathering NS 4825 (made up B40-8W). I decided to give this one that typical GE fire damage.



This little guy wouldn't let me leave the LHS without him today:

Nice work Craig on the S-13s and the Park Car.  Tremblant Park was our home from Vancouver to Toronto in 2012, great fun.


It is one of 2 Park cars with patch panels on both sides near the rear where a lights package was trialled before they chose to use the higher location above the windows.

I had no idea about those lights. I chose the name because I’ve done two Ironman triathlons at Mt Tremblant. All of the names I’ve chosen for the train have a meaning. That’s really cool that you stayed in MY car.

Another batch of freight cars has left the paint shop and now awaits decaling:




Also added 12 RTR freight cars to the equipment fleet - mostly foreign road cars, of which four are seen here:




Thanks to Jeff Briggs for the painting and weathering.
