O’Neills original official forum build?

HO Scale Builds

Is the original official O’Niels forum build by Ken Karns still available? I can’t find it. Thanks for any info. I had seen it a few years back and I’m starting my kit. That original build had a lot of great info. Hope there is a way to view it. Thanks again. Jim Rohman.

I transferred every one of Ken’s threads over that were available at the time. I also asked for input from everyone as to which additional threads (by any modeler) they would like to see moved over that I had missed. I got hardly any replies to that request but I honored each one of them. All I can think of is that Ken’s O’Neills wasn’t listed under his account on the old forum. I did identify a few build threads that Brett started by introducing the modeler and then the modeler took over the rest of the thread, so those threads were listed under Brett’s admin name. In those cases, I transferred them and then placed them under the modeler’s name here on this forum.
Total bummer that the thread was either missed or was somehow removed from the old forum before I was able to move it here. I really wanted to preserve everyone’s content, but it was just impossible to get everything.

Thanks for the reply Ken. I had read over most of the thread a few years ago but I’m just getting around to starting the kit now. There was a lot of good info in the thread. I appreciate your offer to help with any questions I may have. I’ll see how things go. All your builds and comments have been very inspirational.

Thanks Jim Rohman

Hi. Jim. Thanks for the reply. I read over the thread on O’Neils a few years ago but I’m just starting the kit now and thought I’d build the kit and use Ken’s build thread as I went along. I haven’t been on the forum for a few years so I didn’t realize it had changed until a month or so ago. I’ll dig around and see if I can find something hiding out.

Thanks again.

Terry, if you could send it to me too, I’ll try to figure out how to post it on the forum as a thread.
