Congratulations! My wife, who has all the brains in our house for computers, is going to figure out how to post and then teach me. She has a real up hill fight ahead since I am a computer Neanderthal.

Way to go Ben! I guess I'll have to get off my duff and learn how to do it also. BTW, the layout looks great.

Hey, I just figured out why all that Hersheys stock I've got isn't doing better, it's paying Ben to run Hershey trains for advertising; thus reducing my dividend checks!

[boydjr]

nice rr ben...how do you post photos here???? i keep asking but nobody will tell me how to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they keep sending me stupid messages saying i am not aloud to ask this question!!!!!!!!!

[Rastun]

Mr. Caveman,

Posting pictures to the forum is really easy. First you need to have a place on the web to store your pictures so there is a URL for that picture. then when you want to put a picture into a forum type [*IMG]http://www.yourpicture'surl[*/IMG] now when you use those image tags for real leave the * out of them and it will display the picture at the url you point it to.

i'm retired , it took me a while to under stand how to do it , i have a space on MLS , you must be a 1st class member , to get it. you down load your pictures to their and then bring then out to the forum you want to post on, WHO SENDS you the message saying you can't ask, how to post.??? THEIR WERE PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM that helped me . like i said it took me a few months until i learned
and i still have problems posting ben


here is two more pictures of my RR, click on pictures it gets bigger . ben

[Marty Cozad]

Ben, you got it, great job. RR looks great also.

[Tom The Brat]

Boyd JR, it's easy... You just smack[B)]

What do you mean I'm not supposed to answer questions like that?

1. You need some space on a web server somewhere. Almost any will work but some of the free ones don't allow links from other sites like this because that bypasses their ads, and they have to make a living like the rest of us.

2. When you put a picture on your web server, it will have a "url" something like http://gold.mylargescale.com/torby/dcp07030.jpg

3. Put this URL in your message with "image tags" like this:

[*img]http://gold.mylargescale.com/torby/dcp07030.jpg[/*img]

Only leave out the * I put in so it would show you the tags instead of the image.

The result is:

Very very nice.

Can you take some close-ups of your bridge.

We see so many wood trestles that it's nice to see someone who had success using aluminum. I'm a bit curious about how you put it together. Congrats.

[FJ and G]

Ben was nice enough to inform me more about his bridge.

It has certainly withstood the test of time, since he built it about two years ago.

He informs me that the aluminum is 3/4 in. angle and 3/4 flat aluminum bolted together, with 3/8 in long bolts.

The towers are concreted in place.

Ben,

I may try my hand at something similar, but will likely use rivets. Gotta try my new toy out on something.

My own RR is Santa Fe in modern era so wood trestle work of the tall elaborate kind is not really appropriate. However, I will probably anyway, make some of my trestlework out of wood as well as “steel” as the whimsical lure is hard to resist.

Here are some pictures Ben emailed me.
