Scott, I think it makes sense for you to add on any last minute name proposals as you prepare for the vote, so I will leave that to you from here on.

Bernie

Jan's suggestion seems to work, I think.

Vintage Modelers Association

How bout it?

John

I'm already on it.


I'm sitting here trying to think up a name and nothings coming to mind!

 

[steamboateng]

I.m kinda leaning toward 'Brotherhood of Boomers and Bindle Stiffs'.
By the way,,,,,,,what's a Bindle?

Now that's funny!

Folks, check your emails for the voting info for the name. They just went out.

 

[steamboateng]

Thank John, I'm relieved.
I thought it was a 19th century article of womans undergarments!

 

[Jananton]

Somehow, when I first saw that one I took a liking to that too, but after seeing John's digging into the subject I think, presume, we're actually somewhat better then that. :hehe:

Greetings from nighttime Amsterdam,

I'm Not!

 

[steamboateng]

+1 for LWVRR!

 

[LWVRR]

5 votes in and three names on the board. I'll post the winner when all 17 have voted or when the majority locks it up.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been cautious of joining any groups for a few reasons that I won't discuss here. I do a lot of 3D modeling of North American rolling stock for this time period. Currently, I have a N&W C2/ VGN C10 caboose, USRA 55t 2-Bay Ribbed Hopper, ACF Type 21 Tank Car (insulated and uninsulated versions), and a 50ft Double Door Boxcar close to completion. I also have a GP9, U25B, and RS3 that are underway, but locomotive scripting is a whole other beast so I haven't spent as much time as I could on these. Since lilb released his wonderful script library though, this may change. I don't have any renders handy, but if you dig through the Gmax thread you can see them. My general area of interest and knowledge is 1930s to 1960s Central Appalachian railroads. N&W, VGN, L&N, CRR, and more coal than you know what to do with.


Thank you for your time and consideration.

This group is still open to new members.

If you would like to join us, just PM me your email address with your first name and what version of Trainz you are using.

I not positive about this but I think that name was used someplace...I think it was an old Trainz site.

re: The Roundhouz

I think you may be right.... now that I think about it.

Well, I like Yesterdayz Trainz too!

It was the in the early years of Trainz, but I can't remember who ran it.

Voting Update-6 votes in and 4 names on the board.

 

[steamboateng]

i will cast my vote tommorrow after I give it some thought.
So far, from what I've seen, you are a diverse and exceptional group of guys and gals. Hang in there; we'll figure out what a 'bindle' is, yet!

Yes, there seems to be a good mix of talent.

A Bindle is a cloth sack used to transport ones belongings, usually by suspended from a stick that is braced upon ones shoulder.
