To insert an image, you first need to have it uploaded to a photo sharing site like Photobucket or Flikr.  Once you've done that, you get the direct link from that site for your photo and copy it to your clipboard.  On this end (at the CTT forum) you need to click on the "Insert Image" icon (looks like a Polaroid photo with a + in the bottom right corner) in the menu just above the box where you type your post.  That gives you a place to paste the link you copied from the photo sharing site where your photo is stored.  Click on insert and the photo should appear in your post.

I HAVE A BOX FULL OF THESE LEAD CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS.  NEATLY HAND PAINTED. MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 1-3/8" BASE TO TOP OF HAT.  HERE'S THE KICKER: THEY ARE VERY THIN! 

BASE IS WIDE (5/16") ENOUGH TO STAND UP, BUT THE FIGURE IS LESS THAN 1/16" THICK..MAYBE MORE LIKE 1/32"

NO MARKINGS, EXCEPT SOME DO HAVE HAND WRITTEN NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM OF BASE.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THESE..

THEY LOOK NEAT WITH LIONEL GENERAL SET.  

THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT...NOW I'M GOING TO TRY TO UPLOAD A PHOTO SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M REFERRING TO.
