I have ALOT of HO scale train cars/ Locos, so to save space, I:

1.Reduced the size of the images
2.Took a picture for EACH UNIQUE CAR/LOCO, NOT the ones past 1 in quanity. (Ex, if i have 11 "RailBox" boxcars, i only took a pic of one. )

All i did was couple them all together on my room layout, in my room (duh.. lol =D)

All graffiti/weathering effects are hand drawn by me.

There are 38 images.
Users online who will see this post immediatley will not see them all as i will post this then add the pics in :D
...

EDiT: I can only put 20 pics in one post so ill make another post later.


I will continue adding after i eat dinner and ride my bike, I'll back in a little while, in tha mean time, enjoy! :D

Right on, man. Hey, buddy, thanks for getting back into posting images of your train collection. I like the ones in the second to the last picture, with the cargo containers on a car.

Thank you. =D I will have plenty more of those, when i start building my permanent layout-- Those cars come in 5 car sets, and sometimes come individually, 5 car sets dont come with containers, so i have to buy them seprate.

My collection keeps growing!:D

Engines, yah! I like engines, man. Unlike you, buddy, my favorites are steam locomotives or whatever you call the old kind they had before diesel and electric came along. I did have two of those others. One was an Amtrak diesel with some killer passenger cars (yah, I know you aren’t into that, either, but these were cool— so long they had three axels on each truck, and these cool looking observation domes up top). And the other was a Chessie System diesel that pulled freight.

Yah, speaking of eating, it's going on 10:00PM here, and I haven't had dinner (actually they call lunch dinner and dinner supper where I live, and it's usually a midnight snack by the time I get around to it on an evening such as this). I wish I could read and type faster. I'm going to go make some broccoli and rice. Later.

Chessie huh? I like chessie but CS is common in rolling stock and uncommon in diesel, I do like different co. such as

1. Union Pacific
2. Burlington Northern
3. BNSF (Current, BN merged with Santa Fe)
4. Norfolk Southern
5. CSX
6. Chessie
7. CN
8. CP Rail
9. Southern Pacific
10. Santa Fe RR

Man, it's got to be something about the graffiti you decorate stuff with, or something. I don't know. Until I notice some real world object like the golf ball or pushpins, this stuff looks huge to me. This is way cool. Please keep it coming, buddy.

Wow! there are a lot of trains their :)

Would you be one of those people like "Mr. Tanner" (a user on another forum). Who really want to see trains that work realistically in the driver series.

I always wanted to have a game where all the trains follow sceduals and switchs tracks and everything while your driving around and it would also be nice to even drive the train.

So just a question sedans, which train including carriages and the engines would you like to see in a driver game and don't forget to tell us why you think so and include a picture of it and then tell us which existing driver game would go best with that particular train.

It just seems like an interesting topic to hear everyones views on.

Hmm, hwat do you mean, cars and engines that I have or justy any train in general?

I really would like to see an intermodal train (container cars) In the next driver, with weathering efects, like a Union Pacific "GE Dash-9 44CW", I would also like, to see real life disasters to happen with the train such as:
(Based on REAL events that ACTUALLY HAPPENED)

1. The containers fall off and hit things
2. The train goes under a bridge but forgets it has double-stack containers on it, and so the containers hit the bridge which causes a big problem.

and after the disaster, emergency crews rushing to the scene. :D

I hope there are two lines actually, ill explain; I hope to see two lines of track, one line goes one way, hauling intermodal freight, and another train going another way, hauling *mixed freight.

* mixed freight has freight of all kinds: boxcars, reefers, Hi-Cube Boxcars[paper service], Covered Hoppers, Open hoppers, Intermodal, Gas, Chemical, ect.

I shall post a few pics in a moment :D

Also i want to see a large train yard where i can go and *bomb parked train cars that would be soooo TITE!

* Bomb- Tag/ graffiti on.

LOL! I thought Sedans lived in South America or something, and that the fictitious part was being a gangster in Louisiana. LMAO, man. I was so impressed with his language skills and knowledge of American culture.

Man, buddy, every time I read a little more of what you have to say about model trains, the more I realize that you must know a lot about real ones, too. Firefighter, Astronaut, major league ball player…I don’t know what other kids dream of becoming when they grow up, but I wanted to be a train driver. I didn’t do that, though. Instead, I decided to become nothing, and I’ve never wavered from that decision.

Oh, yah. Killer images of both the train wreck and the flood.

Do you really have a train sim installed? I decided not to make a layout here in the extra room of the house I rent. Too small. I need to get a train sim, though. Which one is best, man?

Fictious? i dont get it but if your referring to me being a "gangster"...well, mayb i should PM you about that...

Yes, i didnt know anything about model trains until i got into models, then i got interested in real ones, i cought up with the "slang" too. Before i got into this; "hopper" "switch" "intermodal" i had no idea what tha flip they were, to me hopper couldve been some person who jumped alot, a switch could be a remote control, an intermodal was a fancy term for someone who collected models. lol, until i got into it then i found out what they really were/

Ya, tha pics do somtimes make me sad, though. looking back at everything i owned, gone.

And for the train sIM stuff, ya, that really is a train sim game, if you like, i can put up some of my own sceens for you to see if you like it. :D

Oh, and i recomennd MSTS. Microsoft Train Simulator, its a great game, better the trainz and otha games like that.--

One thing though, the game comes with already made trains, so all you have to do is pick it from a list and go, some people prefer that, but i dont, so there [when you install the game] is a little thing the game comes with called "train simulator editors and tools", it is something to expeierment around with, but anyway, i download new cars and locos off the internet then i make my own trains, its more fun that way.:D and if you get a copy of MSTS, i will show you where to download cars at, then i will show you where to make your own train. Because quite frankly the developers basicly HID, the part where you can edit the trains. In the Editors that come with the game there is a little thing called "Activity editor" and Thats where they hid it, its in a lttte sub-section and blah blah blah, if you get it i will show you with better directions. As for screens i shall put some up, But in a different topic.

O yea, and if you have small space, I will guide you to make a layout, have you ever heard of N scale? Its a real tiny scale and its great for small spaces, its smaller than what im using.

By fictitious, I meant that I thought the part about being a gangster in Louisiana was the made up part and that your location was genuine. Maybe both were actually the case. At the time when I joined these forums, it seems like your flag said Nicoya or something. I assumed that was in South America, and that you lived down there, but liked to imagine being a gangster in LA, USA. What, did you actually live down there (oh, I see—if I remember the name right—that’s in Costa Rica) or wherever that was after Rita destroyed your home in LA? Your last post mentions something about looking back at everything you owned, gone.

N-scale? Yah. Rather amazing how small trains can get. I'm blowing the whole thing off. Building a layout, I mean, not buying a sim. So, MSTS is even better than newer ones, eh? I have to admit; I don't buy games very often, or even play as frequently as I should like these days. When I score MSTS, I'll try to look you up for some pointers. Thanks for offering to help, man.

BTW, that was cool when you put a picture of a real model engine and then a sim model of the same rig. A picture is worth a bunch of words or something like that.

*[Edit]*
Oh, yah. Did you see any of that video showing the scene in Dallas where a bridge washed out while a train was passing over it last week? Not too exciting, but I guess that depends on what a person likes to look at.

BTW, there was a cool program on The History Channel earlier this week that showed some deal called the Grappler tearing up train stuff for salvage and another rig called the Shears or something, which had a giant pair of scissors on an arm, with which this operator dude was literally cutting up train engines into pieces. The program comes on again Sunday night at like 10:00PM. Too bad that’s past your bedtime. LOL!

Thanks again for posting all the pictures, man.

bedtime, sedans... those two words don't match too well!
On the "Driver Madness 1st Anniversary" sedans was up at 3am in the morning to join the chat. It was fairly quite that chat was, however people peered in and peered out 5 hours prior and 5 hours after the main event.

Only 3 people showed up to the main event, that was me, sedans and lseven7. I'm hoping on our next anniversary we have a larger turnout, and our popularity has risen quite a lot since then so I'm pretty sure we can get at least 7 people on now. :P

It's just that timezones a b*t*h :P

Now I'm finding myself off the main topic, so I'll slowly drag my self back on the original topic which I some how forgot.

I remember what it was however I can't think of much more to discuss about it.

*off topic* (I don't really like going off topic, but I guess I have to tell you about things)

you haven't herd about it because you joined after it :P
We have a really large one once every year, maybe I'll think about making smaller ones every few months or something, but it's best that we usually wait a year, then more people can look forward to it and then we usually get a bigger turn out. Because it's only on once and more people will try to be there more than if it were every couple of months.

Currently I'm still working on the chatroom script (well now GUI) and hopefully it'll be ready soon. And everyone will be free to access it anytime however it won't have all that many people chatting as it would on the anniversary of Driver Madness.

Next Anniversary we can expect to have a larger turnout because people are starting to use this site alot more which is great.
