Thank you. It’s definitely worth the experiment. Even if nothing else , it will definitely come in handy for lots of other things. I’m going to give it a try.
David Maynard used to post here, and he did all of his lettering by hand, Fine scroll work to heavy letters if I recall correctly
I miss seeing his posts. Anyone know if he’s still around and just not posting here anymore?
Same question here. I think, as they say, “He went HOn30 and never looked back.”
Sorry Jennifer, I don’t mean to distract. Your work is amazing! Please keep posting!!
Not distracting at all! I love reading the posts, and am learning the names and history of this wonderful community. Its ALL relevant to me! I love this hobby, but it’s more then just trains and models. It’s the people you get to share in the hobby with that really adds the magic to it. You guys are the greatest!
Jenny; If I may ask, out of curiosity…where in North America are you located ?
You mention CPRail/KCSCP in conversation, so is there an interest in stuff North of the border ?
We are up here in Eastern Ontario, Canada.

I live in Minneapolis, I’m surrounded by trains everywhere!! BNSF, UP, CP ,TCW , Minnesota Commercial, CN, Friends of the 261, the list goes on…there’s 4 BNSF GE’s rumbling by over the bridge just up the street even now as I write this and another container train waiting for it to pass😁. I grew up in Rouses Point NY right on the border just south of Montreal rail fanning the CP run D&H Adirondack line running along lake Champlain. Most of my childhood was spent chasing CP trains with my Dad all over the north country ,He still lives there.
Ha! My family take a vacation to Lake Champlain every year! It’s beautiful up there!
I’ll throw my Welcome! in with everyone else’s, Jenny. I’ve been absent from the forum for a while - wedding planning and the holidays and all. I’ve just had a look through this thread through. Your models are amazing! I don’t have much space to run trains, myself. But, I sure keep finding projects to do anyway.
It seems you’re the first I’ve come across on here as close in age to myself. (Though, sometimes I forget that I’m going to be 30 soon enough…)
Hope to see more of your builds!
John has been reported to the BD for being under thirty.
[edit: I mean, that’s not fair, is it?!?]
that depends.
for him it is.
(imagine: on average he has not yet made half as much mistakes, as we have…)
It’s a sliding scale though, Korm. On the theory of one making fewer mistakes as one grows older (the “older and wiser” clause), he may have already made more that half his total allotment of mistakes.
For me though, that theory hasn’t quite worked out…
Sorry Jenny for the spur-iousness of my (old man) comments… Carry on, young’un’s!
It’s good for the rest of us too.
I imagine Rooster is tired of being LargeScale Centralia’s child prodigy as well.
i’m well over 70 - but i’m the only one in the family who collects and plays with toys.
just about the older and wiser…
yes, from me as well a: sorry, Jenny
No Bill there are others!!!
Besides Cliff is trying to suck up reporting folks. The Tommy knocker privilege will be passed once the time is right and I can sense it.
Ha Ha I have been at my company at least 10 years longer than you have been around
Sean, you sure don’t look to be 110…
well, Jenny, now you know, where you landed…
Hey whatever happened to “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?!
I sure hope she got her answer before we began the official derailment…
I feel that may be my fault… opss, my bad!
