Here you go c-burke9...



The syntax for posting pictures is:
"img" Your http link here "/img"
(replace the quote marks before and after "img" and "/img" with [ and ])

So in your case it would have been:
"img"http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/c-burke9/model%20trains/lionel/IMG_0140.jpg"/img"
(You had some extra stuff before and after the http link that I removed)

C-burke - by any chance are you using Internet explorer ver 7?

It almost certainly is because of IE v7.0 because I updated not too long ago and every post I make with a picture doesn't show, and furthermore, the text is all disheveled and misplaced..... I doubt microsoft will fix this unless it is a problem on nearly all forums.... I am really considering uninstalling the update now myself, as others on this forum have had to do...

I was thinking if ie7 had something to do with it. I upgraded a while ago, so far this is the first problem i came across. i haven't posted any pics since i upgraded because of a broken camera, witch i just replaced. to bad microsoft will not fix it, i like ie7 so far.

Thought I'd post some photos of the repaired 2025.  At least it runs now and doesn't look too bad.  I may try to add more epoxy to the surface later and then smooth it with a dremel.  It really doesn't effect operation and I will never sell it, so I might leave it alone.  Structurally it is sound and I have a replacement boiler front on it along with a replacement pick roller on the tender.







Finally a photo of my Christmas layout.  It is noisy runner, but it smokes up a storm.




Take care,

Mitch
