Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
james saunders Seems to me that I'm the offending person here. Let me just go remove the picture, because someone doesn't approve of the file format I saved it in... FWIW, the file fits and scales perfectly fine on my screen, perhaps you have the issue? I've removed the "offending" picture, so as to not stop the globe from spinning and the universe getting sucked into a black hole. I will make sure I request permission from the relevant people in this discussion in future before gaining their approval for me to post the image. Yes I'm referring to you Johnny_Reb. Cheers.

jwhitten Can we please get back to the subject of "Weekend Photo Fun" and posting terrific model railroad photos??
Yes Sir!!! In that spirit, here is a photo of someone having fun, on a terrific model railroad (K-10 again) at the weekend. I think that covers all the bases

simon1966 Regarding the K-10 layout, well I think there are 4 or 5, the yards are huge. There is quite a bit more detail on it at this link http://www.k-10smodeltrains.com/index.php?pagekey=layout

Don't remove it, leave it alone. Additionally I would make sure in the future I posted every picture in .png format just to irritate Mr. File Format Police.
It doesn't really matter since he is not a moderator and has diddly squat to say about what format to post a picture in.

Good Grief...we got photo file mods here now?
The K-10 shots are glorious!! How many yards do they have at that club?
This thread is about posting pictures of your work - to share it and to tickle our imagination.
This thread is not about how to post pictures in a correct way. Therefore, we´d better keep to what this thread is for and move on.

jeffrey-wimberly D94R: If you have slow internet, it's unfair for everyone else to cripple their abilities to suit you. I understand it's frustrating to wait for pages to load (my family had dial up until two years ago due to living in the middle of no where). But, this is 2011, high speed internet is the rule now, not the exception. Sure some people probably still have slow connections, but a world wide public forum should not have to be limited because a few members are behind the times. Good point. Even if you can't get cable or DSL there is the option of satellite. It's slower than cable but much faster than dial-up.

Sometimes it's not what is available, but what you can afford. In many rural areas there is little or no compitition, so the operators can keep the prices high and some people have to settle for second best because it is more within their budget.

Your pictures are fine. He was referring to someone else.
Once you reduce or compress the size of your image the data is lost forever. If you make it big again there will be a significant reduction in quality. The only way to avoid it is to make a copy and then reduce just the copy. Of course that means that you will INCREASE, not decrease the space it takes up in your computer.

Johnnny_reb Another picture in the wrong file format. By posting the picture as a .png the file is over four times the size most people post. By saving the file as a .png you lose three times the space on your computer. By posting it to your hosting site you use up three times the space you have aloted to you to post for free.

That image is only 12kb, unless the OP changed the original post, pretty dang small if you ask me reb.

You wouldn't ask everyone on the highway doing 75mph to slow down because your model T can only muster 30mph, would you? There is a technology curve that everyone needs to stay on top of (within reason) to keep themselves assimilated with modern life.
There may be some compression going on, but in general it's better to use more efficient photo formats like JPG. It uses less bandwidth, so pages load faster. Yeah, you'll never notice it at work with a bunch of T1 lines coming into your building, but our so-called "high speed" Internet at home takes noticeably longer to load pages, particularly in the evening when half the neighborhood is hunkering down and downloading Netflix movies.
And don't even think of the people on dial-up.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
It's a photobucket hosted picture. Photobucket has just issued unlimited space per user. So that's not an issue, though I wonder why you care how much space people use on their private accounts? Or how he saves the pics on his computer for that matter?
Second, it's obviously not a wrong format. It's just a format you seem to not approve. Are you a moderator? Why do you care?
Third, the forums automatically scale the picture down to fit within the forum width. It gives you the option to click the bar on the picture to rescale it to its full size for better viewing. I prefer to look at large pictures for their detail. I don't want to see everyones thumbnails, I want to see the detail, that's the whole point. Why is this such a bug in your bumb? (And yes I read your other thread, and laughed)

Thanks!

Here is the plan...
Edited because someone didn't approve of the file format.
Edit two: Hopefully this is approved of.
Here's some stuff I've done:A pair of con-cor mustangsAthearn PS 5344 kit (modeling skills have improved since the last one was a disasterIntermountain 60' flat with a Roco M60A2And for the Chessie haters, this cat is slowly being skinned:The plow and anti-climber will be glued on later after the other pilot details.
Big day today....it was the June Open House at K-10 Model Trains and since we had a visiting car in had for an interchange we decided it would be a good place to drop off and pick up some loads.
Here we are arriving at the main K-10 yard and getting set up for an afternoon of railroading fun. Crispy was running his Australian AC6000. Andrew was running UP1982 which was actually in town yesterday in real life as the diesel power for the UP steamer making its way south to Memphis TN via the Dupo Illiois yard.
The K-10 layout is a big grain moving layout, so the NH covered hopper found itself being spotted for photogenic reasons at an assortment of locations.
As you can see the yards are huge on this layout.
There are a lot of huge elevators!
Finally here is a shot of the car heading out of town back to our home layout

Beautiful! I would love to see your track plan? Keep up the great work!
Looks pretty darn good for just being paint cans!

New backdrop installed. Painted with rattle cans from the hardware. Pretty happy with it.
