Are you going to provide golf carts for the crews at future operating sessions................or shuttle buses maybe......?

at the very least, a map and compass to find your way back…:wink:


Ken, they had a map and a radio…

Thanks for the overall looks of the railroad. I knew it was large but never had an overall view. Looks great.

Thanks Jake… It’s still a ““work in progress””… :slight_smile:

Got to take a walk on the “back 40” yesterday afternoon, before sunset, and saw the progress on the Okawville area. It really is coming together. I think once Nashville, Addieville, and Okawville are under trackage a lot of people will see how thi is all coming together. Good representation of how the shortline Evansville Western runs through southern Illinois.

Andy…have you an up-to-date track plan yet…?

   I'd sure like to see it, along with dotted lines for future track work.

Fred, the only trackplan I have is my schematic board…

The blue tape with the yellow sidings are Nashville, Addieville, And Okawville… The track for the Blue line is only in until you get just past the Interchange at Woodlawn… Maybe this pic will help more:

Could you make that last one a lot bigger, say 800-1000 pixels across? Then we might be able to read it.

Jon, I don't know how to do any of that stuff.... I just use a ""Kodak"" program and downsize a file to ""Best for emails"" when I rename it....

I’m justa computer dummy, still learnin how to type… :slight_smile:

Howzat? (for all you old guys that can’t find their glasses…;)) The basement is inside the heavy black line. The window is that opening in the corner…:wink:

Thanks Ken - I was able to do that with my built-in magnifier. Was hoping to be able to read the small print that is lost to the compression.

Andy - No problem. I never liked Kodak’s software. We had one of their digitals at work and the software was horrible. Are there any other options on the re-size?

Those 2 old pharts are not much of any use are they Jon. :slight_smile:

here’s an updated shot with more ““un-readable”” info on it… :slight_smile:

That’s better…(still can’t find my freaking glasses though…;))

There’s just no pleasing them…

Let’s see if that’s any better… from top to bottom, Top Left corner of pic, Top right corner of pic, and bottom left corner of pic…:wink:
