By the way...What is that little wheelie thing for right at the base of the exhaust from the cylinder? I've seen it on a LOT of steamers, but rarely modeled on our little choo-choos...

Rules clarification request...
So, the pictures used don't necessarily have to be taken by us?
& say for number 4 I used a picture of locomotive 484. Can I then use that same picture again for 48, 84 & 484 or is it a one shot only deal?

Thats a cool picture Gus. I like the double 18:thumb:

Here is a CSX AC4400CW #19 with a 2nd engine pulling a coal drag.

BTW, I hope that you guys don't mind all the CSX pictures but it is one of my favorite roads.:thumb: :D

Guys , These are supposed to have the exact #.
Thanks , Mike
Now I asked that question almost right off the bat...
TrainNut said:
Is it supposed to be just that one digit as an engine number or rail related item or that digit anywhere in any number?
and somebody answered it as,
N Gauger said:
nope - any rail related item with "the current number" in it :) like that 1223 above for "2"
So, somewhere here, we need to figure out what the rules really are. Perhaps the creator of this thread should make the call.
I also asked,

Now somebody tried to answer my questions but they did not quite answer the questions I asked. So again.... how 'bout them Q's? Not trying to be a hassle here but it would be helpful to have the rules of the game hammered down.
Fifer, you started the thread, make the call. Lay down the law. Thanks.

Canada, eh?
See post #79. I've been hoping that this would be cleared up, as it's not much of a challenge the way it's been going, :rolleyes: but an interesting concept if done "by the rules".
