The “Army” ones look to be more “qualified”, but I would recommend throwing OUT the contents…(unless you’re REALLY starving and just love the idea of Ham and lima beans )

Brings back memories, but reminds me why we go OUT to eat. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Didn’t the salt peter use to make your pecker pucker? (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-yell.gif)

can I use a cigar tube or a shot gun shell for my ‘tin can’? if I decide to join in even if they aren’t cans

#23

Guess I’m in. Been meaning to tack a small refinery into the one corner of the layout to justify the presence of my tank cars. As space is tight, most of this would be a façade, but the distillation tower…that could be done with old spray paint cans - of which I have an abundance.

#24

I’m in. Had this project in mind for sometime in the future, I’ll just move it up to the top of the list this month.

Oh by the way Dave, can I use a 2 X 4 instead of a can for the can Challange??(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

Hmmm, I am going to have to do some serious thinking if I can do something for this challenge, or if my tiny brain can come up with a suitable thing to build.

#26

PVC pipe count as “tin cans”? I mean, it’s a round object that can be sealed on the ends…

Asking for Devon so when Dave says “NO!”, I can gracefully bow out before it starts.

#27

Okay, I’m finished. Is it too early to post to the final pictures thread?

The Tin Man from Oz had a kid? I seem to remember the Munchkins having a railroad of sorts…

#29

No I’m asking Dave to try one last get out of jail free card from Dave. I wasn’t planning on tackling said project for a while still…

#32

This sounds like fun!!!.. I am tentatively in due to unknown weekend work schedules…ahead.

#33

I have my can, just waiting for an evening cold enough to eat what’s in it.

#34

Count me in. I surveyed an area today where a building that has seen better days and has already been rebuilt once now sits. I have been thinking about a totally new building for that spot and now just need to figure out the size, shape, type, what to build it out of and where a can can be used. Decision decisions?

#35

I tried uploading my napkin drawing to My Album and could not get past attaching the image, there was no tab to upload, I’m at a dead end. Is this something related to the forum issues? I also posted this in the forum issues section.

#36

Vic did you put said picture in your freight shed first? Then use the top row icon with the mountain looking thing in it, above and to the right from the font sizes

No, I don’t have a freight shed, never have. I was uploading directly into My Album. I’ve always kept my total image load under the My Album limit, including making room for this challenge. It’s never been an issue before.

#38

I should add that this was on a laptop so phone incompatibility wasn’t an issue.

#39

Everyone has a freight shed vic.

Yikes I found mine, has two pics in it from 2016, no wonder I forgot it. I’ll try loading it into the shed and see what happens,

(edit) That worked, but that still doesnt explain why I can’t upload to my album anymore.
