I'd love to check them out, but the server you have says Access Forbidden or something to that effect.  Can you show them here?

I inserted the URL address into "images" and inserted the pics in the post, hope this will work.

I can see the pics from my computer.

If this does not, any other suggestions?

I right clicked the "red x's" and then copied the url's into another browser window and I was able to see them then, and mysteriously they then appeared in your post as well, sssttrrraaanngggeee.

BTW, nice stockyard, needs more cows though.  Wink [;)]

Wayray - I know this will be frustrating, but I too can't see them.  Get the same server error message.  Consider giving  Shutterfly a try.

lets see if this helps. Some servers have a time limit on it. This may be one of them.

I love the water in the bin for those thirsty cows - well done.

Wayray - Pictures are great, did you say this is your first attempt?  Was this a kit or scratch built?  Great job!  Really looks good.  Great job.

In the last issue of "The Warbonnett" there was a article on how to build a Santa Fe Stockyard.

Since I am into O scale Santa Fe trains I decided to try to model it. I had to convert the architectural measurements to O scale for my trains. It was scratch built from scale lumber I bought at a local hobby shop. The windmill came from a Walthers O scale Kit and really turns in the wind. I made the stock tank from a pasta can. The windmill water pipe is a painted dowel. The water was hot clear glue. I do have more cows, just need to add them. The wood color is stain. It's not just like the prototype, a modified version.

I really enjoyed working on it, got the bug now!

Thanks to you all for your inspiration and help.
