www.mylargescale.com
www.largescalecentral.com These sites require membership but the membership enables you to have web space, not sure on Large scale central but MLS.com is 50MB

I use shutterfly.com and never had any problems. I just can't take good pictures or build a decent railroad, but that's not the fault of the camera or the web site[:P]

[Ray Dunakin]

Wow, everyone has such cool photos! Even the "just barely started" layouts look good.

Unfortunately my last roll of film didn't turn out very well so it will be a few more days before I have any new pics to share.

Matt I can see the pictures and was very impressed.

Here are a couple of our Shay on the Cherry Blossom, Pigrock and Pacific Railroad in the UK, taken on the 5th of May though, we have had rain and winds since these were taken and the cherry blssom has covered the track [:(]

Both free. Photobucket is a bit easier to use/manage.

Hey, us Matthews have to stick together...

Just how many Matthews are there here? I count at least 3.

[FJ and G]

Great photos, all.

Esp. nice to see a fellow 32mm modeler, tho his is much bigger scale!

The hound says she'll help me lay some trackage this weekend (or lay on the tracks). Seems the work is never done!!

[gallopinggoose]

Here is our best friend who checks out the track is clear of enemy cats for us [:D]

Nice pictures, and layouts fellows! [;)]

I don't think I ever posted my layout here before, so here goes. [:p]


My indoor layout with desk and work area.

Both trains stopped at the station area.

Passenger train rounds the curve.

The oil train.

Passenger train.

I am awaiting delivery of more coaches and oil cars. I have been building the background buildings, and as soon as I fini***hose, I will move to the layout it's self. I wanted the background flats to have a low detail, low profile, to just be a backdrop. I also have streetcars I run.

Have Fun: Jeff [8D]

Thanks for the great comments on my line.

Matt:

What great craftmanship you have. [^]

What scale do you build? [?]

Have Fun: Jeff [8D]

[Train 284]

Matt, you have a beautiful layout!

[MTCarpenter]

Matt-
That layout is off the chain! Fabulous.

Everyone has such great pictures. Very encouraging for me to see various levels of completion and complexity. Gives me hope!

[Tom The Brat]

Off the chain?

[Ray Dunakin]

I can't post pics directly to this thread the way everyone else does, so I'll just post a link to my newest pics.

This shot shows one of the wooden tunnel portals installed in the end of a tunnel. This is at the east end of the layout, on the upper level tunnel.

From there, you can scroll through the rest of the pics. Or use this URL to view the entire album:

I've also posted a brief update in the In-Ko-Pah Railroad folder, over in the "Construction" forum.

Thanks for the comments guys. Of course it looks a lot better in close up shots, hides a multitude of bare bits, garden gone wild patches and plain old boring bits.

Great work Ray. Looked through your album, too much like hard work to me, you must have a strong back![xx(]

Matt and Ray Fabulous layouts guys! Ray you did a really nice job on the rock blending around the tunnel portal and surrounding areas!

[gallopinggoose]

Matt, those photos are great.
Ray, all those rocks look fantastic can you post a few to us in the UK please [:D]

We have a couple of (what were) large sandstone rocks, but the weather has taken them down to medium sized now. Will have to visit the coast or mountains of the UK with an empty car (not always easy when you live in the middle of the country) [;)]

[Train 284]

Ray, great photos!

Oh yeah. Sorry about that.

From slangsite.com under "O"

Off the chain: Expression used to describe something that is really good.
Example: These tap dancing bulls are off the chain.

[Tom The Brat]

hehe Tap dancing bulls off the chain is rather scary[C):-)]
