Attempt at posting pictures of my structures
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 27, 2004 5:38 PM
So far no luck posting pictures here at CTT. Signed up at Photoisland today and we will give this a try. I'm in the procvess of recreating many structures designed and built by the late Frank Ellison and hope to share my work with other scratchbuilders here. Here it goes:

One more try. At least the link worked.

I think you have it now, VERY NICE.

The problem in the first two attempts was subtle, your URL had split the brackets on the img command. It is very tricky cutting and pasting on the forum code, so look carefully. It happens to me all the time, but using the preview button saves posts.[swg]

It seems to work better for me if I just paste the URL in the post and manually add the bracket-img-bracket immediately before and the bracket-/img-bracket after it rather than using the image symbol supplied by this forum. Whatever you're comfortable with.

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Gee Jim, I type out the whole URL, and only copy if I'm doing multiple pics, then change the filename.

Very nice structure, how about some detail info., materials used etc. It appears to be a neat combination of two buildings, a switch tower and a station.
