The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[RailroadKits]

Tom.

I have a temp build of the site when I was working on a school project back in September.  Are any of the files on this site of use?

Jimmy,

You are wonderful! Your temp build of the site is better and has more of the lost pages! How can we get your files/site above to just replace the old Atlantic and Southern build thread?

If you can do it, it will save me two years of the lost material. Your thread brings it up to September 2016 and the crash only gave me a recovery of October 2014!

Thank you so much.

Tom

Way to go Jimmy!

           Just don't let your cape get caught up in your wheels, remember what happen the last time...  you know at the car wash, with the bikini's and CNN and that bag of marbles!  Oh?  What a weekend.  Anyway, you da man!  Thanx Thom...

This is great news!  Tom and Jimmy as you rebuild this thread from the backup I have a question.  Is there a way of loading a web archive file back into the forum?

Does this seem any better? I see posts from September '16 at least?

Most archives only back up a few pages, but if you find a back-up of the thread, we'll try anything.

The reason I ask is that I keep a web archive file of every page of my threads.  I wanted to know if I could use them to recover in the event we had the same problem with one of my threads.

Jimmy,

This is absolutely fantastic! I thank you and owe you BIG TIME, VERY BIG. I promise to never burn down one of your kits ever again.

Thank you so very much sir,

I know Tom is at the Doctors office so let me answer for him this backup is much better.  The current active version has 2 + years missing that are all here in this backup.  It looks like the loss would only be the posts from September to today.

[RailroadKits]

Okay. I've merged the two threads (the current one with my Sept files) and sent an email to Steven explaining what I did.

I also ran a backup before I touched anything!

I'm sorry we have lost such a big part of a huge, huge thread.

I think what you see now is the best we can expect.

Big "ATTA BOY" for our own "Jimmy the D".....

Now that sheds a little light on the subject.

Here is the last post from September 4th that is the last one before the memory gap.  Everything looks good from my quick check.  This is much better!  I'm going to do a walk around on my layout to show where I'm at now to start my Volume 2 thread.  You may want to do the same to fill in the gap.  Good luck!

Jimmy,

Thank you so very much. You are certainly THE MAN! You did more for me in 10 minutes than Steven did in four days. Maybe you should show him how a back up really works.

I'm back in business thanks to you.

John,

Thank you for filling in for me while I was at the doctor's office.

Yes, this is much better and certainly more than I every thought possible.

Again, thank you.

This morning Jimmy D really came through and bailed me out BIG TIME!

I'm sure glad he know's what he's doing. All that was lost in the file corruption was a few months worth of the layout thread narration.

In the next few days, I'll do a photo essay from the September 4 post by Jan. The photo essay will only be pictures to bring all up to date. I won't even attempt to add any significant narrative.

I also see my post count is back to date, so whom ever did it, thank you.

Tom
