Goodafternoon! I have finally gotten subscription so I can come to this forum! I have been a life long toy/scale train fan (read nut). I grew up poor so I didnt have much but I did have a Lionel train set. The Freight Flyer from 1987. I now have several engines and cars from the postwar period. I built from scratch a 736 from parts off of ebay, train shows, and my local Lionel service station. I look forward to picking your collective brains! Thank You

Here's how to post a photo:  Open a free account on a photo sharing site like Shutterfly, Flikr or Photobucket (which is the one I use).  Once you have that, upload the pictures you want to display from your computer to their website.  Copy the "direct link" to your photo from Photobucket (or whatever site you end up using) and then either start a new thread over here or reply to whatever thread you want to post the photos on.  Above the box where you type text, you'll see an icon that looks like a Polaroid photo with a + sign in the bottom right corner.  If you scroll over it with your mouse you'll see "insert image".  Clicking on that icon gives you a box to paste the link you copied from your photo sharing site.  Click on "insert image" and viola!  The pic should appear here in the text box where you want it.  Keep in mind though if you're new to the CTT forum there's a short period where your posts are monitored before being added.
