It only took a year for me to finally get started on building my website - lionellines.net.
Been too busy with work-work to do much on the layout, however, since I have been chained to my desk for almost two months, I have been dabbling at building my website.
You can see the beginnings of it here ------> www.lionellines.net
Couple o' things:
The main pages are in place but only the home page is really complete with graphics, although devoid of most links.
I need to design a new Lionel Lines masthead - I just don't like this one.
I also need to redo the buttons across the top- as they are not as precise as I want them to be. The orange buttons across the top do link to other pages, although teh main pages do not have much content.
The four large links at the bottom of the home page are not active, yet. These will be features will include step by step photos for the subject matter along with descriptions on how to do some scenery stuff.
Heaven help me - but I welcome all feedback.
Awesome, Frank! Say it with me, dude!!

Perhaps make it look more like the pre war Lionel typeface? or changethe font to look like the type on the tender?

I like the top buttons.
Frank, you have a great way with the camera and lighting!
Great job!

...sent you an email.
Frank...That is really a great website. I enjoyed looking at it. You did an excellent job. . Tubular track makes the pictures look excellent.

Very nice! Looks like an excellent start to a very informative and entertaining site. It'd be neat if you could post the Hi-res versions of the Loco pictures to share with your visitors...I've been running the 2343 AA picture as my desktop wallpaper for a few months now and after seeing the other pictures have an itch to change to, say, the 726 picture.
Nice work Frank.
Roland
P.S. You need to add some UP ALCo's to your collection it seems...?
Good Job Frank. I like the scenery and your great collection. Perhaps you can have a little section telling folks not to pass up on great offers and show the photos of the F3 set. You also need to have your list of all the attributes of the Tubular track. For real though, I would like it if you had a guest book to sign. So we can tell you what we really think! (it's all good)
Thanks,

What a great idea - I think I'll start by raffling off a piece of FasTrack!
Thanks for all the gracious comments. It has a long way to go. If I can complete a few pages every now and then, it'll be a start. If I can keep it going through the entire layout process I hope it will be an interesting chronology.

Nice set up, Frank. Looking forward to more progress on the website.

give me a clue dev - where you from ?
Frank, I am originally from Bogota, NJ (right next to Hackensack). I went through Perth Amboy frequently. It has plenty of industry to model. Also, I recall a huge scrap yard that had many old locomotives, RR cars, etc that were being disassembled. I have photos somewhere...probably in my parent's house. Keep up the good work,
Dennis
Frank,
Once again a truly outstanding job.
