  1. Dear @Utah_Bench,

     

    In my experience, messaging sellers can't hurt. I've had sellers break up lots, drop prices, etc, just from simple conversation. Esp when an item sits for a minute.

    Very true Fist 666 but I've already tried with this one with no luck, still keeping an eye on it and hopefully it will not sell and the seller will be more inclined to my offer.

  2. Dear Ebay seller,

    please lower the price on the item I want...you know it's not worth what you're asking unless...you don't lower your price then I'll have to think about it some more.

  3. Got tired of trying to read it, no idea on #2. The UP and Cotton Belt are old cars, the UP is showing a little more weathering from sun and elements. You can also tell that one is old because the original RR (Cotton Belt) is no longer around and its routes have been absorbed by other RRs, believe it was Southern Pacific and then UP as everything merged together. Kind of cool that they keep the old reporting marks (SSW) on it, not sure of the history/reasoning on that. Also of note, if you can get close enough to the cars they have a built on (BLT) date on the right hand side. It can be found in the black box, or sometimes to the side of that box. If the car has been repainted there will also be a stamp to tell you when it was repainted.

     

    As always thanks for the info One Man Banned. Theprotester, I understand my opinion is an uneducated one from a non-writer so you can take it for what it's worth.

  4. For me: letter structure is by fart he most important element by far. Other than that I like depth, cleanliness, simplicity, good colour choice and just some kind of cartoonish, satirical funk that I cannot explain - Rime pretty much nails this aspect for me, as does Zek, Mek, Bones and a few others. Creativity in terms of something simple that you kick yourself for not thinking of is also awesome to behold.

     

    Letter structure for you also, interesting. I also love creativity and catching something that others may have missed.

  5. Not to be a dick, but this thread belongs in Third Rail, which is in the graffiti discussion section of the forum. Channel zero is for non graffiti discussion.

     

    with that said, letter structure is definitely most important whether it be on a train or on a wall....even if its as simple as a glue piece on a train or as complex as a kwest piece.

     

    I also like themed trains (wc's & e2e's).

     

    Sorry for posting in the wrong section, my bad and I'll do better next time. So it comes down to letter structure for you, cool.

  6. Made a quick stop (storm moving in) at the Union Station in Ogden Utah today and took a few flicks. Will stop again soon, when the weather is better, and get more pics but for right now this is what I got.

  7. Here's a few flicks from today, trying to be a little more creative at least as much as I can from a distance. Also spotted a cool old house so I'm dropping a couple of flicks of it also.

  8. I have been stopped before taking pics on their property and had conversations with them. Not really much of a hassle. I was honest and told them what I was doing. Some small talk and I was back to taking pics.

     

    I wouldn't worry about it. Pics aren't illegal.

     

    Even if you get a visit from police, just tell them that you were taking pics and keep the conversation short.

     

    Will Do CILONE, good advice. I would love to be able to walk around the yard and take flicks but, I understand the liabilities the RR works under.
