J. Williams General Whatever on the rejection. but it looks good to me, thanks! 12/7/2008 8:38:08 AM
Atlanta Rails General I think it needs some leveling and it would get in, they seem to go easier on older stuff. good shot. 12/7/2008 10:05:14 AM
Jon Clark General I think if you crop out some of the gravel in the foreground, leveled it up a bit, and maybe add a little bit of sharpness to it, it then might stand a chance. Although, depending on who the screener was, they might not have liked all of the pole clutter in the background. Not you're fault, thats just the way it goes. Nice catch nonetheless. 12/7/2008 12:00:31 PM
Frank Grove General I agree, level and crop off some of the gravel and I bet you will get accepted. 12/7/2008 12:18:32 PM
Donald Albertson General Thanks for all the input guys. These days, my submissions to rp.net are one shot deals; if it gets rejected, they'll never see it again. Why should I get bent out of shape when I can just post it here? 12/7/2008 2:26:13 PM
Jim Bruce General Nice shot! If your interested here is some pics of some of the units that are now in Eesti Raudtee (Estonian Railways) EVR service: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ee/diesel/C36-7/pix.html and http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ee/diesel/C30-7/pix.html. as you will see they are quite different in terms of size, power and emissions compared to many of the Soviet Block built rustbucketts they suplimented or replaced. they are also adapted to deal with the harsh climactic conditions in which they operate which are very different to that of the US. :http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ee/diesel/pix.html. 10/21/2010 6:35:13 PM
