Today is my 5th Anniversary as a member of this forum. I thank Kalmbach for providing this forum, and I thank all the forum members for sharing their model railroading accomplishments and their advice.
In particular, I am thankful for those who have explained photography to me. I still am a long way from being a great photographer, but my pictures are better quality than five years ago thanks to advice in this forum.
Here are a few photos I have posted in this forum.
When you’ve been here 10 years you get a Certificate of Merit [:D]
Actually, no, you don’t [:'(][:-,][oX)][D)][swg]
Glad you are here Gary. Enjoy your pictures and comments in the dinner.

Only five? Really? Dang, it seems that I’ve been reading your posts and admiring your layout FAR longer than just five years. But then, when you hit my age, Time has a habit of doing whatever it wants and letting you know about it, afterwards, LOL!
Big Congratulations on your anniversary. [Y]
LONG LIVE THE ‘Q’!
Tom [:D]
It’s been a pleasure having you here, Garry. You’ve come a long way in that “short” 5 years and have enjoyed seeing your layout progress.
I really appreiciate the support from you and quite a number of others here in that sad time almost 5 years ago after the loss of my wife. A good friend here on the Forums.
Anyone that posts as many Q photos is welcome here!!
Congrats on your milestone! From the looks of your pictures, it looks like WE could learn a lot from YOU! Now, you have me curious as to how long I’ve been on the forums. WOW! It’ll be nine years in April. I should be used to time flying by; watching my son grow up, being blessed with 3 granddaughters and a grandson. Sheesh! Thanks for making me feel old… ok, oldER.
Garry,
congrats and I do like the layout. Looks better than mine ( still in boxes )

I enjoy the pic’s people post more than anything else on the forums. I think yours are great Garry, so keep it up. Congrat’s on the “big 5”.
I don’t know about a merit certificate, but how about the Bridges & Trestles book to those that hit 2000 post.[:-^]

Congratulations Garry. Your modeling, pictures and frienship has always been top notch.
Congrats Garry.
I don’t see anything wrong with your photos. I always find them very inspirational. Keep 'em coming.
The forum is a better place with you posting here, Garry. Please keep it up.

Gosh, time sure flies, doesn’t it? 5 years for you, and it’ll be 10 years for me in May…on this “new” forum. I still call it the new one because the old one was really, really bad…especially in the days of 56kB modems. [:)] BTW, MR’s 1st forum (even before the “bad” one) was actually just a “Guestbook”-type idea where Andy S. would post a “Question of the Month” and people could answer it. I think my 1st contribution to that was about Operations back in 1996-ish. Yikes…that was 15 years ago. I think I’m going to go do something else that doesn’t remind me of aging… [:)]

Your post caught my eye, I checked the bill for the first item I purchased for my new empire (SW8) it was dated 1/2/07. Works out to 5 years, I think.
I also have learned a lot from this forum and appreciate all the help I received. In fact I learned more here than from the club I joined.
So, A toast [D] to all those who help the new-bees [:-^]
Having fun.
