He is working on it. It's rendering.

Which explains why he's acting like a programmer whose code is compiling...

Ahh! I completely understand! Being an animator myself, waiting for scenes to render brings back memories of time on CD.

Re: pic: Lavery's Summer Vacation

Pretty Close.

I think the locomotive in the Background is a Frisco 4-8-4 of the 4500 series, number 4501. Bell, hand rails, and headlight match.

The foreground locomotive has to be one of the monster 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy"s of the Union Pacific, number 4018. You can tell by the coupler door and louvers in the nose.

If my locomotive sleuthing is correct, then this picture was taken at the Museum of the American Railroad in Dallas Texas.

Just a wild guess, I'm a narrow gauge train nut. Give me big mountains and small locomotives.

Hi.... No I mean the picture next to dave's signature picture. thats no 4-8-4
in the picture....then again I'm a Pennsy nut ,closest thing they had to that was the T-1.
BTW....who took the thread picture? and note Dave has a camera.

Re: pic: Lavery's Summer Vacation

Trains, Stairs, and Poles, but what about the Traffic Cones in the picture? I see two, and I've always thought they could be a game piece. A traffic cone from my perspective represents a circle (top view), triangle (side view) and a square (at the base).

As far as how they would be used? I have no clue, just pointing them out.

Merino is a breed of sheep. Dan Marino is the former Miami Dolphins quarterback.

Has anyone read his FIRST wiki any time soon?

http://www.firstwiki.net/index.php/Dave_Lavery

Despite the fact that it was last edited in December of 2006, some of the things are interesting.

In fact, I did not know that he was taken away by aliens at the VCU regional in 2005!
