The problem seems to be solved according to Paul Paul and Charlie look at this Railimages behaviour While waiting for some scenery details to dry at Greenville I look at the industry module that I´m working on, and got the idea that there was missing some sort of overhead crane outside the loco workshop. So I made one. It´s a simple crane made of styrene strips. You may judge if it looks like such a crane (at the pics at least ) Oops - it does not work with a URL reference from Railimages 1. The active URL include the end code [/IMG] 2. The reference show up as text only 3. If I paste the correct URL in IE it works OK I have posted these pics for you Helge (Colonel) [ 21.

OK, lets see if this railimages thing works... Part of my first layout. Using a Model Power Building, and some Walthers kit parts. [ 25. October 2002, 14:47: Message edited by: bspeed ]
Thnaks very Much!! Unfortunalty, I don't know how you did it.... I tried editing one of the posts above to have a url pointing to the picture itself. I copied the url from the location in Netscape, while the picture itself was opened full view at railimages. Best Regards, Bryan bummer my conection/isp is so lame, it take several minutes to load this page, sometimes it refuses to load at all, grrr.
Bryan, Go to the page on railimages.com where the photo is. At the bottom, it will tell you to mouseover the URL and copy it. Then come here and put that url in the pop up box when you press "image" when you are posting. Charlie
Good for you Charlie, you are absolutely correct, this time. I'm glad that you agree now that cut and paste is the best method to use to get photos onto Trainboard off a "WEBSITE" as suggested by my Dept. MCSE computer GURU. Definitely go to the WEBPAGE of RAILIMAGES Brian, as Charlie recommends and cut or copy the picture URL. The cut or copy request will depend on whether you're using windows 98, 2000 or XP PROF. When you have done that, go back to the Trainboard site and paste the URL into the image popup box that appears in the upper lefthand corner of the page on trainboard, that is reqesting the photo URL that you wish to post. This will post the image from the the RAILIMAGES "WEBSITE" and put your photo into the Trainboard site. As I said a ;long time ago, you need a "WEBSITE" to post images to Trainboard and now Trainboard has supplied one for you. End of subject for you and me. Goodbuy Charlie.
Wrong again Gary. You do not now nor have you ever needed a web site to post photos. All you need is your photos uploaded to an Internet server. It doesn;t matter whether it is railimages.com or your personal web space provided by your ISP. But, you do not need a web site. Your troubles Gary are a direct result of your absolute refusal to listen to someone who knows. Charlie
Hi Is there anyone having problems with up- and downloading pictures ? Not me. I use RAILIMAGES and it works perfectly . I'm really not a PC specialist and Internet is not my favourite software - but I never found an application like RAILIMAGES and TRAINBOARD with such an easy handling. And with the password you got a beautiful instruction about the handling. So I created a post in 5 minutes and - it works Greetings and happy upload Daniel
Here are some more shots taken off my layout yesterday 1. Amtrak limited crosses Devils Gate Bridge 2. Rio Grande grain train exiting the thruogh yard passes a BNSF grain train stabled on the mainline 3. SP roadrailer train stabled in the thruogh yard 4. Rio Grande grain train on the mainline
Thanks Paul, great to have a digital camera isn't it! Just noticed that the vehicles under the bridge in the first photo are on the wrong side of the road
I have been playing with macro settings and floodlight's. Here's a test shot, too bad I got that back wall flashback.
You are correct alan the cars are on the wrong side of the road, i will have t correct that. Bob, I do not use the flash on my camera when taking pics. I am lucky though that my digital camera allows full manual settings so I can adjust shutter speed and aperture settings. Ok guys lets keep posting some great N scale pics to this topic
The cars might be right if the drivers are either drunk or driving on an undivided road, in which case they drive like it is one big speedway following the natural curve and enbankments of the road regardless to "the rules." THe presence of cops and good consientious drivers usally corrects the problem.
This reminds me of the first time i drove a car in the USA. We had collected the hire car from Tri-City airport in Michigan, and driven back to our relatives' house in Au Gres, on lake Huron, staying on the correct side of the road! The house was on a gravel track in the woods alongside the lake for about a half mile before reching a paved road. When I left the house and started driving up the track, I saw a car coming in the opposite direction, so pulled to the LEFT, but suddenly realised he was also on the same side of the road and realised my mistake, so moved over to the right We were not close, and the other driver probably never even noticed. I kept to the correct side of the road for the rest of the holiday
*rotfl* That's a good one Charlie. Now where did all the posters go? It's almost December, and this forum is dead! Atlas forums are busy tho.... Hmmmm....
Now that depends on your frame of reference, Alan - prototypical or model. Prototypically, Paul is correct but model wise... Fight for the right to drive on the left - you KNOW you want to!
I do not recommend using a flash either, the flashback in this photo is from the photo floods. its just a matter of getting the flood angle right or using a second flood
