ok, now that that is over, let me say, i hear you are starting extremely big
If you want to start this big, try out methods that you find here off your layout before applying them!
unless when you started this topic you meant new to trains.com, not trains in general
if so, then carry on as you like
good luck

Bigdeg, welcome! You'll get lots of help here. Photos are an absolute because we do very much want to make your experience a memorable and enjoyable one, but we can't do much unless we see what you have built.

A gentle warning for you, so take a deep breath, and have faith: we might have to ask you to undo some of what you have built. Don't sweat it..but just so you know. You'll see why in the days ahead.

Thanks for joining us, and we mean to make your time here well spent.

I struggled with pics for weeks. I suggest you go back and read all the threads on posting pics over the last few weeks. I finally figured it out. I use photobucket and it is easy once I figured it out. My first pics are there today.

Hang in there, my friend. That's why we're all here. Since none of us were born with a keyboard in our hands, we all had to start learning at some point in our lives. Don't be shy to ask for help. It's really not as complicated as it may seem...

Welcome to the forum! Good to have you aboard! [:)]

As far as posting pics on the forum, what you need to do first is set up an account with a web host who will allow you to upload your pictures to their server. I have a FREE one with Railimages.com, but there are also others, as well - e.g. Photobucket, Shutterfly are a couple that immediately come to mind.

When you get your account activated, you can immediately upload your pics to their site. Once your pics are uploaded, then all you need to do is to copy the web address of the picture and paste it into the body of your post in the following fashion:

["img]http://www.???.jpg[/img"] (remove the quotation marks)

The web address for the picture can be access by right clicking the picture with your mouse, click "Properties", find "Location", and copy (or Ctrl+C) the entire "http://..." address and paste it in your post, as described above. That should do it.

If you run into any problems, just holler and we'll walk you through it. [:)]
