How about we place pics in this thread as we see each one of them? That would make a fun and interesting hunt. Or would you rather just keep this to general info.

I'll allow pics to be posted here, but only if they are of the clickable thumbnail variety found in many other posts throughout this board. I'd rather not have big full sized photos cluttering things up here.
And yes, I agree, that would be kind of fun.

It doesn't look like there's a way to thumbnail link photos not on this sight.

Hey Greg, how about you put a * next to each number on your list as the picture is posted. That way, the remaining ones will be much funner to locate (and also help avoid reposts). Heck, if we get down to the last one, maybe we can have a competition! :D

What is wrong with reposts, Is this a game for people who have time to do everything right now?

As I type this, I haven't seen a resolution on the topic of reposts, so here's a shot of 5936 I had on the site already:

What's that supposed to mean?

Also, I was just suggesting we try to get a shot of every locomotive on the current list and make a game out of it. Nothing more, nothing less. And it's not like I was suggesting a time limit.

It means exactly what it says! What if sombody has a photo of a GT loco, but someone else has alerady posted it? What there photo is no good or should be excepted, because it is a repost of the same loco? Kind of sounds like RP.net! If someone is using someone eles photos for this post (as in reposting) they souldent be doing that any way.

No, I meant the part that I made bold in your post.

Lets just leave things as they are now.
Here's my photo contribution to this thread.
I have LOTS of pictures of GTW engines, but I don't really have any time to do thumbnails, so instead I'll just link my collection here:
