Great engines. I especially enjoyed the video of the pair of them running.

Does anybody even care???

I guess I can save myself the trouble of posting anything as there seems to be no interest in our project!

This forum always seemed very open and welcoming to all people and skill levels. I must have missed the mark...

There are not going to be any future posts, my leave is over and I'll be back in Afghanistan come Monday.

Best Regards,
Yogi

Youre kidding, right? Terrific build! Fast! Keep up the good work.
And keep your head down over there.

The vast majority wont post but I'll bet they loved watching the video. You had almost 2000 post for the short time the build was going on. As fast as it got done, I'll bet most didn't even see the thread until it was done. I for one didn't know what sam was until well after you were done but i'm glad I looked now.

Don't get all bent out of shape because you didn't have a lot of responses. We all looked and admired, but as Steamer said, there is a time issue here. Your build was excellent and was very fast---far faster than the usual build on HMEM. We like to look, and interact, but its not instant. I post a lot of my builds, and I do get a lot of responses, but the responses accumulate over the life of a build. When the entire build occurs in a whirlwind time span, you won't get many responses. Sometimes when I am posting and get few responses I wonder if people are looking at what I post or if they care---but when I look at the number of people who have "viewed" my posts, I know they are looking. What kind of responses did you want?---Rank adulation, virulent criticism, or people arguing that what you are posting isn't going to work.----Be carefull what you hope for!!!-----Brian

What a great pair of engines, and so quick too. Please keep posting when you get the chance. More importantly, thank you for your service and be safe. Looking forward to your safe return and posts.

Yogi-

I somehow missed this post in the flow of all the info on this site, but what great engines those are. Super job.

As far as people responding to posts, many (myself included) often scan several forums every day, and read a number of posts. Unfortunately, keeping up with a large number of posts every day does not necessarily leave much time to comment on all the great builds.

Keep in mind that these posts often get referred to for years, and your engines can be the inspiration for generations to come, there is much more to it than just who is looking or posting today.

I post because I love modeling, and hobbknobing with people of a similar interest.
If I had a nickel for every post I did not get a response to, then I would be a multi-millionaire, but such is life.

I figure if even one person reads what I post, then that is one more person than yesterday.
Just post for the fun of it, and let it go.
We all enjoy the heck out of your posts, so keep at it.

Hey All,

I'd give the brothers some slack. They were doing something together.

I don't want to think about a deadline like the one they had to meet. Get it done before they ship out.

And ship out to where? Not good.

Son, keep your head down, your eyes open, and come back here when you get back.

Be safe and look us up...your always welcome here....first round is on me. ;D....Bring Sam along too.

Dave

Yogi;
I'd say you and your brother have made your Grandpa PROUD. Nice to see the tools and the skill passed on. I especially like that brothers built these engines - I have four brothers so I know the feeling. Don't give up on this forum because these people do care - more so than any other forum I've been on. Come back and amaze us with more high speed building!! Ditto on Dave's words also.
Cheers
Garry
