I hate I somehow missed this thread when it first started. I could have made some money off this guy. I would have gladly sold him some original napkin drawings signed and sealed by the engineer of record (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

I was curious, and he wasnt just an ass here. Heās made quite a reputation on other sites too. Hereās a thread from 2007 with the same attitude.
Geez, Bob, and I felt dang satisfied with myself when my detective work led me to PDFs of the architectural drawings of my build this year. I can see where that wouldnāt have been nearly, not even nearly, good enough for You Know Who, since I donāt have the original blueprints from the original railroad that built the original tower.
Wouldnāt have been too long before we agreed to ignore him too!
I think another reason for your big buttresses, vibrations from the trains passing by.
Fascinating, haHA! Napkin buildersā¦ Maybe thatās like Butt Modelerā¦ but with paper involved.

Man I canāt believe this, I donāt look at this thread for 2 days and all H#%L brakes out. But it did answer the question I had about āNapkin Buildersā after seeing Shawn add it to his name.
Youāre probably right Ralph, this guys is so tightly wound that just the mear thought of doing anything on a āNapkinā will cause a heart attack. So much for his āGrand Railroadā.
All I know is that there are lots of great people on this site with lots of āGrand Railroadsā and we have lots of fun. And we even have a Rooster. Letās see him top that!!!
Chuck
I miss Chuck !
He was a hell of a builder!!

Weāve been calling them āOperations Qualityā for some time now. āDoes it look like a boxcar from 10 feet? Works for me!ā
I love looking at stainless boxcars from 10ā
Whom is going to meet Satan for digging this thread up ??

So, I wonder if Rooster or Ken will build a āBuilderās Napkin Factoryā?
Ken doesnāt use napkins and I would just shred them for nesting material! However Ben did install a ābeak wipeā dispenser in the chat room a couple years ago with tamper proof torx which lead to folks wiping their _ _ _ _ on the cafe curtains in my corner. Iām sick and tired of folks leaving the basement light on as well. Hello, someone has to pay the electric bill ?

Iāve always wondered why people get their underpants in a wad because someone brings up an old thread, and Iāve been running forums for more than 20 years.
Bob, I think it is usually more than just an old thread.
Bringing it back with a reason, that is great, building on past knowledge, keeping all the same information on the same thread, all great stuff.
Bringing up a thread for another me too or to bump post count or a completely unrelated item not good.
The funniest is newbies looking to buy something, and they neglect to see the for sale post is 8 years old, and the poster has not posted in 8 years either. They post and wonder why no response (although I have seen people come out of the āwoodworkā so to speak)
So, like everything else, it depends (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Iāve always enjoyed old threads being resurrectedā¦but I guess Iām in the minority.
Imagine coming across something old, but itās a brand new discovery for YOUā¦(at least thatās the way I envision it!) How exciting! And, in this case, just a funny reminder for ME!(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
Just a quick bit of context here. I am putting together The World According to Greg, a new blog on my website (which is still in development). An article I was preparing for the blog is entitled Revenge of the Napkin Builders, and it is intended to describe what I do in model railroading by essentially doing an extended builderās log of my Miks 2020 project, as well as celebrate what I consider to be some pretty damn good projects by everyone this year. So I went back to look at the original thread to make sure I had my facts straight and discovered that coincidentally it was posted on the very same date I was looking at it, so I posted that coincidence here. Thatās all it was.
When I first found this site I asked some questions on an old post and got a curt response as to the age of the post and brining it up, I thought for a moment I had gotten access to a private forum and didnāt do anything but read for a while before I got the nerve up to ask on a current post. Since then I have been welcome with all my crazy thoughts, questions and ideas. I belong, and you all(some)like me ! You really like me!! sorry , got carried away. Anyway Iām here until BD kicks me off !
