You're welcome Brad.

I tested the "Blog". Once I started the subject and wanted to add to it like pictures, make quotes and add links I found that it's not set up like the messages posts are. That's why I've stopped posting in the Blog section for now. I asked Joe about it. Haven't heard back yet and I'm in no hurry. I'm sure Joe has bigger fish to fry with getting the forum to run smoothly.

Bernd,
Thanks. Found the settings and reset some things. Updated Bio and other fields that were blank after the forum reset.
I will be moving the layout build to a topic or blog as soon as I can figure out the best option to use…

Brad

Go to profile. Scroll down until you see "Edit settings"
Click on Edit Settings
Click on "Account"
Scroll down until you see a pen tip and click on "Edit Post Signature"
Edit or update your post signature or write a new one.
Scroll down till you see "Save Changes" Click on that to save your work.

You should then be set. There is no automatic name signature that I know of. I manually add my name at the end of my post.

Bernd

Sorry Bernd, just noticed the “first name” is not an automatic signature. Where can that be added? Also the footer area of your posts, where is that created?? Thanks in advance…

Brad

I got some Ikea shelving to store my Model RR magazine collection underneath the layout. Someone who has experience with these suggested reinforcing the shelves. I added aluminum 1" L underneath each shelf, and that has made a HUGE difference. No sagging of the shelves.

We're back? Who be dat?

We’re Back…

Well, it has begun.....

I am slowly getting my room ready. Son move out into his own house last month, that created a wealth of open space in our home, and garage.

Moved out the BowFlex, stationary bike, and air hockey table to his place, now I can see the floor again. Started to plot out full size track plan on the wide format plotter. Have set a limit at 36" x 60" panel plots. This way if when its all laid down, changes can happen in just the small area and save paper.

Picked up a few IKEA shelving units to mount on the wall under Wolf Mine area. Building those and hoping to mount tomorrow. Next will be planning out the ceiling lighting and then on to the benchwork design. Benchwork design will be critical for build, I want minimal or no legs on the floor. Simple mount thru the drywall and into the studs. Same for backdrop, and finally upper valance.

Rob, thanks for your help to date. Could not have got thru this without a partner to bounce ideas off.

As I remember how to attach images I will post room shots with the layout down on the floor....

Hi Brad,

Are we done with the design work or do you need anything else from me?

Take care,

Rob.

Rob,

Downloaded file, thanks.

Hopefully between world junior hokey games today, I will get a chance to drop this 2D drawing into the 3D model.

Then I can start on basic module benchwork sections....

Hi Brad,

Version #5.07 should be in your inbox now.

Take care,

Rob.

Rob,

No problem. Enjoy your vacation time. I certainly am having a blast on mine.......

Hi Brad,

I won't be home until tomorrow night, I will email it to you then. If you don't hear from me, send me a reminder by email. I was on vacation this week and will be swamped with work when I get back.

Take care,

Rob.

Rob,

Can you send me v5.07 as a CAD file thru email. I only have v5.06 on file in CAD, and v5.07 as a gif file.

Rob,

Great to hear form you again. Thanks for the server information, will keep that in mind.
