Roster Photos

[Anonymous]

Hey all!

Because I know you're all so proud of your rosters...how about showing them off! Please post pictures of your favorite engines and/or cars.

(I'll post mine when I can figure out this darn photo thing!!)

I am not especially interested in ALL my roster, especially commercial models, but I do like showing off my special kitbashing etc projects.

Santa Fe pulpwood car from East Texas


One project of mine has been acquiring or repainting tankcars to represent the major oil and gasoline brands FOUND IN TEXAS in 1950s. (Often regional subsidiary of national brand, such as Magnolia for Mobil and Humble for Standard Oil.)
Some I could buy, these were repaints, some letter-by-letter:

I do not believe you can post photos directly on THIS forum, only links to images that appear on another website. FREE space for posting RAILROAD AND RAIL MODEL IMAGES is available at
http://www.railimages.com
with instructions for registering, etc. Once you have set up a photo with a railimages account, you can put it on a bulletin board like this one.

To have your post SHOW a picture automatically when it comes up, you take the URL of your image, such as
http://www.railimages.com/albums/kennethanthony/abs.jpg (plan for a layout based on MGM Studio backlot railroad) and enclose it between two pairs of square brackets [ ]. You need to put the letters img inside the first pair of square brackets, that tells the program that what follows is an image to display from such and such a web location.
After the URL of your image, you put another pair of square brackets [ ] with the slash / and the letters img again. The sla***ells the program that you are ending the instruction of what image to display.

I would show you but if I type it here on the screen, the sample will not show up. The program will DO the instruction instead of showing it!

If for some reason the link does not work, maybe a letter is wrong or maybe the website you are linking to is shut down, your post with show a red x instead of the picture.

Or if there is a string of posts with a lot of links and the viewer has a slow connection like my cheap phone link connection, it may take a while for pictures to replace the x's.

Instead of making picture appear automatically, sometimes I choose to provide a link and the viewer needs to click it if he wants to see. I gave my link above to my entire gallery. Here is a link to a single picture.

By not making it come up automatically, I give the viewer the choice whether or not to see it, and I avoid making him have to wait for a lot of stuff to come up on a slow connection that he may not want to see anyway.

These are some photos that I had previously uploaded to this computer.
This is a Central of Georgia locomotive my uncle gave me. I am thinking it is an RS??. Any ideas? http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/118523935eWDfqg
This is another COG locomotive from my uncle. I think it is an E?. Any ideas? http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/118568257uhPmBv
This is a dirty Athearn GP38-2. I was redoing the grab irons, hence the copper wire on the nose. http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/112328903sprGqT
If I had more pics I would show you all. I am actually in the process of painting a GP50 for BN.

Okay, the pics finally loaded. This is my GP50 project: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/155762482VZavlb
This is a U28B I got from eBay: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/155763082CEnnEW
This is a Southern hopper that I weathered and added grafitti to: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/155763707KHnlRc This is a closeup of the grafitti on another car: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/155764076qqMGTg A little more care could have and should have been taken by me when handling the car.
And this is my entire roster excluding one locomotive: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/155766165iSMnvF
Sorry for the delay.
