    Hi Joseph .. welcome to Trainboard ... and to the hobby! [​IMG]
    Also, I would like you to know that there are *no* dumb questions here at Trainboard. All of us started this hobby at one time or another. Some members are very advanced in modeling and others are in the middle, or new to the hobby like yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We have fun helping others here. [​IMG]

    First, follow this link My Profile & Private Messages which you will also see on the top of the page also.

    The click from that page click on "Edit Profile"

    When that page opens scroll down more than half way and you will see the "Avatar Image:" seaction where you can pick from several avatars. More special ones come with supporting RailImages.com which we can tell you about as well.

    :D :D :D :D :D
