    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Here are 4 of my recent desktops, 1 is my own picture (the C&NW F7), 2 are by friends of mine, and the last one I found online.
The picture of the 2 passenger trains was shot in Chicago Union Station, with the equipment (from the Illinois Railway Museum) being there for the filming of "Flags of our Fathers".

Simple, but helps to get to know every inch of an aircraft as a great reference while working on a project.

Too bad UP hasn't kept a Big Boy in steam along with the 3985 and 8444.

How ya doing Don?

That sure is one of my old stomping grounds. Not more than a two hour drive for you Tom, hit the I-40 West and then hit NC 74 to Chimney Rock and Bat Cave. They have an SCCA Hill Climb about every year. A real nice place.

I'm constantly changing desktops, am using one of my screens right now.

Hey Caz, I drove through Bat Cave many many years ago on my way to Wilmington, NC with the ANG. I think we were lost but I always wanted to go back there as I was very impressed with that area. A very scenic area. Thanks for digging it back up from my memory banks. :jump:
Back on topic, my desktop looks a lot like PRB's. :costumes:

Hey Jeff, that is a clean looking CNW F7. Can that and the Bi-level coach car be found at the railway museum?
