All these pics are great. Nice to see the great work others do! I must have missed something.... how does one post pictures with a text posting?
Garth, just how do you get pics from your webshots acct. to work here? I have it now, and can't get it to work...
Hemi, I just recieved notice from Webshots that we can no longer link webshots photos outside of the webshots software The latest pictures I posted were from my Yahoo account. I imagine that in the future, what happened with webshots will also happen at Yahoo. I am not going to post a lot of pictures on the Trainboard forum anymore, unless it is something really good. You can post links to a webshots album here, but that is about it. Every time I upload pictures to my Webshots account, I will make a new album and post the link here for people to view. I don't think a lot of people will follow a link, but that is the best I can do for free. When my layout is further along and I can justify the money, maybe I will pursue a website, but until then, I will make do with webshots and posting links to albums.
I have shown pictures of this layout some before, but here are a couple shots from the Augsburg & Concord Railroad: This is a wide shot of the town of Concord This is an SD-35 pulliing a mixed frieght early in the evening.

The site that I used to post photos of my layout (DotPhoto.com) doesn't allow linking to third-party sites except to e-Bay. They deleted my photos. Sorry ... I'll just have to wait for Charlie, et al to finish testing of our TB image posting package before I post photos. [ 07 March 2002, 22:18: Message edited by: Hank Coolidge ]
I have yahoo also, and can't get that to work... the link is in my signature. How do you get yahoo pix to work, Garth? *pulling hair out*
Paul-Admin and others, there are some great looking layouts on the board, I just love looking at photo's of N-scale layouts, takes me back to when I was modelling in N-scale. I couldn't do it now as I need glasses even to see my H0 people that need painting. Keep up the great work. Paul T.
Hemi, I am not sure how I did it so it worked, so I will try it here. Ok, I see a picture when I view this thread. The only thing I can tell you is that I use Internet Explorer. When I view the picture the size I want to display it on the forum, I right click on it. A pop-up menu comes up and I select "properties". It display a address (url) for the picture. Highlight the address by placing your cursor at the beginning (before http) and left clickwhile dragging down and to the right. This should select the complete url. While highlighted, right click and copy the address. Then paste it in your message as an image. [ 05 March 2002, 21:21: Message edited by: PF2488 ]
Enjoyed seeing the pictures greatly.I'm wondering though is it in N scale because if it is I'd love to know where you got the plate girder bridge and supports shown in the last pictures. I have a scene that I need to build over my river that would fit this style perfectly. Hope to here from you soon Thank you.
Hemi, The first photo came through, but I don't see the second one. To take a phrase from the " Waterboy", "You can do it".
Garth, They both show up for me.... The first one is a Yahoo pic, and the second is a webshots pic. The second one is avail at my webshots link below.
There are some awesome photos of layouts posted here. Maybe I should go back to fish'n, all I've got so far is an unfinished monster swyd built with Kato Unitrack.
Gary, We all started the same way all you need to do is "Have a go" I have learnt so much by building my layout and know next time it will be different. There are so many techniques and the more you try the better results. Don't be disheartened it is all worthwhile Ok here are a couple more shots of my layout Here is a picture of the unscenic extension to the layout i hope to have all this area scenicked in the next few months [ 11 March 2002, 06:56: Message edited by: Colonel ]
As soon as I learn how to post pic`s I will send you some shots of my railroad. It looks like we have the same road names like up & santa fee on the units . I also have some bn`s & sp`s, cr`s,cp.cr.
I'm so excited!!!! I finished the last module framework tonite, added legs to most of them,a nd connected a few up. I found that since I didn't do my homework very well from planning the trackplan, the layout no longer will be walk-around, it is now an inside-operation deal. I modified the benchwork plan a bit, too, so the rough layout size is now 17'6" x 9'6". Still sizable, I can run nice long trains. The foam is int he garage, awaiting a day warm enough to go outside to cut it. I'm a wuss... I don't like the cold, and look where I live!!! I'm SO ready for spring. I'll post pics someday very soon to Webshots or Yahoo. I looked over the rough layout, and it's huge! At least compared to my basement.. The basic L trackplan is still the one of choice, slightly modified to fit the modified benchwork.
Hemi, It looks like you ran the wheels plum offen' thet thar Big Mac! Must be that huge layout, miles and miles! Nice looking job. Excellent detailing you are accomplishing there! I notice your winding curves are VERY smooth and gentle. I doubt if you have any problems with derailments, that is fine looking track! I would tip my hat to you, (but what hair I have left would fall out and I couldn't see!)
