That Shiny New Car Smell

[mlehman]

I'm mixing my metaphors here, but the new look is fantastic. I'm sure there will be an issue or two, but so far it's slick looking and easy to use.

Maybe we'll even get a train pic for the mast head?

Hi Mike,

I'll see what I can come up with. Or better yet, maybe we'll hold a forum logo design contest where the winner would received a free freight car kit or something.

Donnell,
That sounds like a great idea.

One way to pick would be to post a poll of nominated pics, although I understand sometimes there's reasons not to go that route. In an ideal world, we could have a monthly selection, run a poll to pick for the honor, and then still all be friends without any hurt feelings for month after month because there will be plenty of opportunities to be selected. That just may work...or maybe not.

Another Pro Boards hosted forum that deals with diesels......uhmmmmm who'll shall stay nameless.....has a model of the month for its banner.

What about a shiny new steam loco smell ?
Getting on a steam engine ex works the paint the warm oil the heat and smell of hot steel from new brake blocks, The new wood cab flooring and the smell of that white paint in the food and tool lockers. Hot brass cab fittings hot rubber from the 'slacker' (hose pipe) made you feel proud and important when you worked one of these beauties away on a train. The free steaming boiler and the singing of the injectors when you put them on, even a new firing shovel for the fireman.
happy daze.

If I may add please, black writing on blue to me is difficult to read but no problems with white writing on blue. Thanks..JB.

Donnell,
there are lots of Great Pics of EL SDP45s on Starruca Viaduct pulling lots of UPS Trailers.
or even the EL Bi-Centennial SD45 and SDP45 doing the same thing with NY100.
