When I was active on a Railroad forum we used to have a weekly thread called Sunday Night Photo Fun. I tried it here years ago but it never took off. The whole Idea was to have membership post a weekly picture of their latest project or upgrade. You still have the individual build threads, but this was just quick and easy for the submitter as it usually only included a couple of pictures and gave weekly eye candy to the membership. On the train forum this weekly post would usually end up 3 or 4 pages of pictures by the end of Sunday night. Of course you have a lot of model railroaders vs tankers, so maybe we just don;t have the critical mass of builds to make this work.

Sort of just what Aus did here A few pictures and some text giving us an update and some details. Then other people just pile on with their projects. It ends up becoming the one thread you don't want to miss.
