Allentown Scranton & Northern, my model railroad. I messed around with some GT engines to give the AS&N effect. Click on the GIFs to enlarge.

Great shots!

It's my experience, as a website administrator, that where images are concerned, small is good, unless the viewer wants to see the detail. As part of a signature, small is probably best. When posting a picture specifically for people to see, big is good, but consider posting a small version and making it point to the larger version (easily done with forum code).

I'm considering reducing the size of the picture in my signature - it still looks a tad big to me.

People on the MR forums were complaining that it took to long to load the page.

The answer is.... Macungie, Pa. I wish it was in my backyard! I changed my signature to a Amtrak shot that is smaller in file size.
