One trick that I've tried is, if a topic I bring up starts to drift in the Weekend Update, I'll post here that I've established a more specific thread about the topic in the forum where it can be expanded upon.  In other words, I move the thread myself, rather than wait for our gracious hosts to grow weary of the strays and pull the trigger on my behalf.

It's a good way to stop flogging an ailing horse, and go to a track where there's better traction...yourself.

Carry on.

That horse is beginning to stink!   :D  The problem in this particular example is that the original thread was couple of years old, buried deep in the bowels of TRW.  We also posted several posts here relating to that old thread, without even realizing the original thread existed. I suppose I could just literally copy and paste the text of those posts and create new duplicate posts in the relevant thread (since Otto brought that thread back), but I figured it would be just as easy for mods to move them (of that is what they decide to do).  And as with anything else here, we can discuss this until the chickens come home or the cows roost.  :D

Pretty much done detailing this Cargill facility. I just need Trainworx to hook me up with some 53' trailers.















The thing lights up like a Christmas tree, which should put a smile on Peteski's face  ;)

Actually, with the possible exception of the parking lot, I don't think there was any...

Roger that. I had to scrunch the parking lot a little bit, but the facility itself is a 1:160 of the real thing.

Exactly..

Parking lot, and distance between the back of the building and main line.
