 When you click 'REPLY' look at the top of the yellow area where the previous reply is quoted. You'll see three tabs. The last tab says 'PREVIEW'.

It appears that under the new format you cannot preview before you post. Previewing was one of my favorite features. Peter smith, Memphis

Thanks loathar. I've gotten my desklamp fixed up, so now I've got a source of light, and I took these photos in the daylight, and the one window in my room is a skylight, so I guess I just got lucky w/ that, lol. I've also been playing around w/ the white balance, and today I tried changing the exposure time or shutter time or whatever, and the white balance. I guess I'm just getting better, lol. Do you have any more pics of your layout, I've been wondering what it looks like?

Before this thing gets out of hand let's do an analysis of this title; Packers #1 the exact reason why you reasoned that this would be a good title is the exact reason why it is a bad title. The forum moderators are not likely to squash this title but it could become just a little confusing for someone who views it and perceives that it is referring to the Trackside Photos feature from the magazine. We need to come up with something a little more unique.

OK, sure thing. Could someone give me an idea for a better title, I got nothing.

Anyways, this will soon be my avatar on here:

Also added a boxcar over at the Aiken Locomotive Works. Really, I only weathered that side even remotely well and the thing would not roll well at all.

In that case, why not just re-title it "Your Trackside Photos"?

Here's my contribution:  I call it "Embarrassing Road Failure" or "External Combustion Rescues Internal Combustion"

Trackside Photos From the Forum
Posted by Packers#1 on Friday, October 17, 2008 5:50 PM

In conjunction w/ weekend photo fun, I give you TRACKSIDE PHOTOS. Here, post either real train photos or model train photos. maybe a project you've completed in the week, or a new loco that you just HAVE to show us. I'd prefer if we could keep this on track, so please don't get sidetracked off of the primary goal, just talk about the photos or post some please. I'll start w/ an old one of my layout, before I added the extension.
