On the CN mainline shot...LOSE the street lamps. The bulbs and wires look way unprotoypical. Other than that the pic looks very nice!

Hi Gappleg

Thanks for the comment on the picture,the pipe work is part of the Walthers "Cornersone Series" Refinery Piping Kit (93-3114) and some creative bending in hot water :)

Thanks...

Some nice photos there!  Looks like you're adding an [ /img] tag at the end of your Photobucket photo tags.  These aren't needed, Photobucket adds them automatically.  That's why your photos are followed by [ /img].

Thanks,

This question comes up semi regularly.  Visit http://www.photobucket.com/

and get yourself a free account.  Upload photos from your computer to Photobucket.  They automatically provide URLs and IMG tag links at the bottom of your uploaded photos.  Click on the link with IMG and you'll see "Copied" (using IE), the link will be copied to your computer's clipboard.  Compose your message on the forum, do a right mouse click and choose "Paste", and the IMG link will be posted into your message.

If you want to post more than one image, click copy the IMG tags to your computer's Notebook feature.  Copy them all at once and paste them into your message.

Photos should be around 700-800 pixels wide so they can be seen fairly clearly.

Give it a try!

Here's a photo I just recently posted on another forum:

Hey Phil

On the botom of this Forum there is a search box,type "how to load photo's" in there and follow the 1st post, I had to open an account in Photo Bucket that took all of 2 minutes and loaded them from there, and thanks for the comments on the shots I appreciate it.

Hey TrainmanTy

Yes it's a Wood Pellet company,I have a pellet Stove and buy all my pellets from the Eagle Valley Pellet Company, So I figure since I have bought 4 tons of pellets over the years they should have a spot on my layout, I have downloaded the Company's logo off their home page and made the signs up for my building and silo's and they look great.

Thanks for the reply..

Hey TA462

I would love to tell you I did that truck but it would be a lie,the small pick up is an Atlas buy (comes like that) and the 5 ton truck was bought off of ebay by a fellow that custom paints any truck you want,He was on Ebay but since has opened up his own Online store,But go to Ebay and search for a user named CUSTOM MOW and he should come up,he has some unreal MOW trucks in all Canadian and US Railroads or you can send him your own Logo and colors and he will paint it up and decal it for you, I paid $19.00 for that truck,the boom goes up and down and the bit can be positioned anyway you like, If you can't find him let me know I have his new store address on my other PC I can get it for you.

Just so you know; wood pellets wouldn't be shipped in an open top hopper like that; as the weather would get to them, they would probobly be shipped bagged in in a boxcar or in a cov. hop.

Just my My 2 cents [2c]
