Train Show cars.
Posted by dstarr on Friday, April 17, 2009 8:16 PM

 I picked up the combine and the coach at the Lebanon NH train show for $3 each.  Made in Italy by Pocher, they are very similar to the Model Power 48 foot old timers but the dies are different.

"> 

They came painted for D&RG, buff and light gray.I gave them Kadee body mount couplers, weighted them up to NMRA standards and repainted for the B&M.  Roof is dark gray auto primer and the B&M passenger maroon is actually Rustoleum "Painters Touch" 1964 Colonial Red with a top coat of Dull Cote. ">

Except for being only 48 feet long instead of 65 feet, they are a good match for the wood commuter train that took my father into work back in the late '40s-early '50s.  And easier to build than the Northeastern all wood kits.

With an IHC MOgul standing in for a B-15, we are ready to haul some commuters.

There are a few things not entirely clear to me, yet.  The images came out of the camera (a Kodak Z1485)  at 5 Megapixels. Using the Kodak EasyShare program to suck 'em out of the camera and pop 'em onto the web shrunk'em down to  126600 pixels.  Dunno how that happened.  These images are linked to out of the Easyshare photo sharing website.  And I don't understand where all the white space in this post came from. 

Try photos again.  I put the pictures onto Photobucket.  I redid all the "IMG" dohickies to point to the Photobucket site.  Photobucket displays 6 different "link address strings" for just hovering the mouse over the photo.  I used the "link address string" titled "IMG"  Lets see if it works now.

 Funny you should mention that.  I can't see them either.  I could see them last night in this website.  I just looked over in the Kodak Easyshare photogallery and they are still there.  Maybe someone can offer advice on how to post photos? Has anyone had any luck using the Kodak photo share site?  Or does the trains website only work with Photobucket?

 Looking at the properties it looks like the links you used where whatever your browser showed at the top while viewing the photo through your account - this is probably only a temporary link because a site liek that will have to have multiple servers to handle the load. There should be some option with each of your photos when you log in that provides a link to it for sharing with others, this is how Photobucket and others work, I would imagine Easyshare is similar. That link is what you would post here for the rest of us to be able to see the pics.

Well, you could simply post them as a link like this:

http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos5182/1/23/36/27/62/3/362273623113_0_ALB.jpg

or use the IMG brackets ([IM G ] before the link and [ /IM G] after the link with no spaces) to have them appear in your post like this:

You might be right.  Here is the Kodak EasyShare help on the subject.

Question
  Getting the URL of your photos
  Answer
 

The KODAK Gallery provides photo sharing and printing services to allow our customers to create and share private photo albums with family and friends and to order prints. If you want to link directly from another website to your pictures or albums on the Gallery, we recommend setting up a Gallery Premier account.

 

/End Help Snip

I think they are saying you gotta pay money to get a link that works after you log off.  Gallery Premier is a pay option.  Maybe time to try something else, like Photobucket.
