Title: Welcome Back November 12, 2023
Post by: Jim Donovan on November 12, 2023, 03:12:51 PM
Folks welcome back! First, a big thank you to Craig Rusty for bringing the forum back to life. The forum is back running on its original forum programming. While Craig has been able to recover the vast majority of information some unfortunately is lost. However going forward we hope to have improved backups. I can not overstate how much work Craig put into this project.

Please read the welcome back post from Craig Rusty and look around the site. Consider this post the beginning of our daily coffee checkin. So let everyone know the site is up and running and lets get back to our great hobby and sharing ideas.

Thanks
Jim Donovan

Good Afternoon All,

Thanks to everyone that put in the time and effort to get the forum back up and running. I hope I still can remember how to upload, etc...  Looking forward to seingwhat everyone has been doing over the past many years. 

Here is a video link to my layout almost current. Dale Angel and his wife Karyn of Toy Man Television have been guest speakers for our regional NMRA conventions twice and you can see some prior and a lot of current layout status. They were or guest speakers back in June at our convention in Flagstaff. Dale mentioned that he could not come to Phoenix, but asked if i would take some video and sent itto him. The video shows some prior and current status of the layout. A lot of catching up to do as you will see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo3YpdPgWNs&t=556s&ab_channel=ToyManTelevision (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo3YpdPgWNs&t=556s&ab_channel=ToyManTelevision)

Thanks again to everyone who put inthe time and effort to bring back the forum. For fellow forum members, Welcome back and look forward seeing what you all have been doing.

Good to see some familiar faces again!

Welcome back, everyone.

For the record, I have just increased attachment file sizes from 1mb to 5mb. This is per attachment, not per post.

Obviously, the password you sent me allowed me access.  Thank you so much for the work you put in to allow us to once again have a place to enjoy the hobby with our friends.

Hi guys.

Thanks Rusty and everyone else involved for your efforts!  Hopefully we can get this site back to what it used to be.  I've got a lot more benchwork built so my Shadowlands adventure is just beginning to unfold.  Spring here in New Zealand so lots of distractions (AKA weeds) to keep me from my modelling - but I try to find some time every day.  We have a 2fatpossums modelling weekend away in a couple of weeks so it will be nice to roll my sleeves up and get into a new project.

Cheers, Mark.

This is a test.  Can you see my post?   Is this real? Or did I stumble into a fake modeling forum?
