It's a house!

Is there more, perhaps something that looks more like a train?[?]

Sorry, I must have missed your point. Have you recently moved house? Perhaps this is a cunning disguise.

He said "the home" of the DNRR. He didn't say anything about having a train!

Sorry ttrig, dwbeckett didn't mean anything by that comment. I suppose it's early days for the railway.

Looking forward to a few more pics!

still working on getting first picture to post without you going to the URL and yes that is the new house.

The procedure is to add img in brackets[ ] before http and at the end of the URL add /ing in brackets [ ].
If you resize the picture first it will post inthe larger format. or you can do it latter.

this just go's to show you can teach an old dog new tricks

Rene thanks for the help I did find the first img on the site you sent after looking at it the second time. It didn't apper to the left of the URL ,but did about three lines up the page.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

Two tips...

Hit the Enter button after the /img tag.

You could post slightly bigger photos without offending anybody[:-,]

No connection between the green dogbone and the rest of the track?

If there isn't a great amount of difference in elevation between the green line and the main line I would add a connecting track. That way you can run the green line equipment into whatever storage system you use without having to go out and pick it up every time it has to be brought in out of the rain.

The New DNRR will be an indoor RR (no rain, sleet or snow for me the mail will go thru), my space is the two car side of Picture #1, and as of today the Green line will be moved since I will need to open the door on hot days and to access storage. Original plans called for the Green line to be 6.5-7 ft off the floor. The door opened fully would kill a few trees and and reposition a cabin or two ( yes i have considered extending the door up travel since i have the room). Version #3 of the plan will be posted when completed .
