John, how about a free custom painted beer box for every member.

John- I like the "How to" idea. This might be incoroporated in the library section as a reference source.
An example: on TB there are comments on using Marklin expandable track sections and "tricks" to make them work better, connecting modules. As more members add new threads- these tricks will be lost and finally fall off the front page. I still get lost on TB. Often it's fun and sometimes frustrating.
And- NO - I will not tell anyone how to build a solid wood mountain with switch inside

This shows my first Z scale layout- coffee table turned "train table" with infamous wooden mountain disquised as Stone Mountain, Georgia. ( upper center)

Don't worry Fred. We'll just ask the cat. They'll give us all you secrets. Oops, you were not supposed to know they were spies, .

Well, Fred, you got your Holiday wish. 
Last night I added 2500+ photos to the gallery from an old backup that Brad gave us. It only took a couple of months with the elves working long nights behind the scenes to get it all re-done.
They are all in a category called "Archives". Here is a direct link. It was/is just too complex to also restore the comments with them, and we'd like to solicit everyone's help in identifying faces/places in the pictures.
One side-effect of importing this old gallery is that some of the owner/author tags are incorrect. If you see any that are wrong, please let John or I know so we can fix them. As always, if you see a photo that should be taken down, let us know about that also.
The plan over time is to start re-organizing the categories in the gallery, and the separate "Archives" section will be blended in with the other categories. If anyone would like to step up and volunteer to assist in that effort, we're looking for a couple of victims.
I'd also like to extend a challenge to everyone.. Let's see some more pics!

Gee, I see some of my stuff dragged out to the photos sections. Is this from the Archieves? Good work. I didn't know these plans were in existence anymore. I forgot about the Z Climax photo. One of my favorites. Thanks, Jim

Happy Holidays Jim! It is always good to have you stop in. Well, we here at ZCS do not refer to it as "dragging out". Instead we call it "presenting". There are images back from 2005 restored!

John, It is only semantics. I'll agree with presented as a better choice though. I check in at least once a week. Hopefully the new year will bring more participation from members new and old. I've been in and out of the the hospital in the last two weeks and 6 1/2 hours in the ER on Monday. I'm fighting degenerative arthritis in the back and neck and have only two to three degrees side to side movement in my neck. Pain is BAD. I'n still thinking about a diorama for the contest, if I can get my hands under control. Not looking good healthwise. Still takes a minute to put a boxcar on a track, and that is in N scale. Lastly I have barely a clue when Ztrack will publish the Northern Division. I get emails all the time inquiring and I refer them to Rob. Maybe never??? Keep up the good work and Happy New Year to you all. Jim
