You need to know the address of the photo.
It is http://www.railimages.com/albums/bobstephens/
But you need to find the 3 letters after bobstephens/ that identify the exact photo you want. Do this by going to your album, going to any photo you want to download, and RIGHT clicking on it. This produces a drop down menu. Go to the bottom, Properties, and click that. A new window opens (it won't take lupo's 3 months, but can be slow [:D]) that shows the address in blue. You are looking for the last 6 letters xyz.jpg It's the xyz that will be the specific set of letters you want for the exact photo you want to post. In your case, the one you have up is aaa. (The next will be probably be aab, and so on)
Now, you need the forum code to get your aaa.jpg onto the forum.
To do that, type img inside the square brackets [ ] Then http://www.railimages.com/albums/bobstephens/
then add the specific for the photo, in this case aaa.jpg You always need that .jpg after the 3 letters. Now, close out with code for ending an image post /img inside square brackets[ ] You can preview the result before you send by hitting thte Preview Reply button to the right of the Submit Reply.
If your photo comes in the preview window, you've done everything right. go ahead, submit, and take a [bow]
Jim's just emailed, want to see what he has to say. 'Bye for now, awaiting developments[(-D]

Good Evening All:

Well here goes - if it comes out Tom will think it's pretty



Tom: their it is!!! It's a United PFM Southern PS-4 custom painted by David Long at Kelly Creek Backshop. I can't paint that well.

John:
I can't believe we got the job done. Ya'll better be careful - a little learning is a dangerous thing.

Fergie:
I enjoyed talking to you tonight, it amazes me how we can ramble all over the place and cover so many subjects.

Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY

Well Bob I should hope so as our "20 minute" lasted over an hour and "20 minutes"!

A Southern 4-6-2! With Elesco Feedwater Heater!! Gone to Heaven!!!

I had a 8x10 drawing of one of those when I was 10. I thought it was the best thing thing going but at 10 one couldn't afford brass and none of the plastic model companies made them. Gorgeous Model sir, I'm truly impressed.

BTW saw your other pictures, The turntable looks excellent, where'd you get the Arch?

John: Hope to see you at the show. As I said last night I'll probably show up between 9 and 10 Saturday morning. I'll advise later.

Good Morning All:

No pictures this morning as I'm running late. I had a good weekend playing trains and finally getting a picture in the coffee shop. I've got some more at railimages and I'll get the link in here later. (Hint, hint, hint, John)

Well I've got to get ready for work

Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY

Good latte afternoon folks. Just got back from a quick day of yard work in Truro, with sleet and rain interupting things. Got the snow tires on our daughter's car too which isn't a bad thing.

If I remember right, and there are lots of people who can straighten me out if I don't, you get the link to you railimages album into your signature by going to your post and clicking on Profile at the bottom. This gets you to a place where there is a brown bar with a number of things you can do, one of which is Edit Profile. Click on that.
You will be asked to log in . Once in, you will see your profile in all its glory. Scroll down to your signature. The are two boxes one over the other, and they look kinda the same. Go down each one to where you want to have the link. Put the same thing in each box (take no notice of what the boxes say about text only or graphics just to the left)
I put "Photos at :" and then the address
So you put what ever you want to be there to let people know where they can find the address, then
http://www.railimages.com/gallery/bobstephens
That should do it.
If so, take another [bow]. If not, wait until someone else comes up with the right way to do it[(-D]

Well I see that it's time to look for dinner [dinner] which, krump, will be based on yesterday's excellent spring salmon from B.C. Can't wait to find out what Mrs. der will do with it. I also hear Rosie- the- dog complaining that she hasn't been fed. I'm outta here.

[Noah Hofrichter]

Teffy, that is one beautiful unit, I love the way those Southern steam locomotives were painted green. Inalso took a look at your turntable, it's comming along nicely. Can't wait to see it finished.

Well, already spent to much time here, so I better keep moving. Get me hambuger and a cup of hot chocolate to go, and I'll see you all tommarrow.

I was checking out a few threads and Antonio made a really good post about the locomotive with the screw falling out from the lead truck. You know, he seems like a very level headed kind of guy. I sincerely appreciate a common sense post, and he really seems to know just what to say, we could use a few more like him.

I may not have ever said it before but I also appreciate our coffee clubbers. Many people may think that this is just a gossip forum but we all know better. There have been some really good ideas brought out here and knowledge abounds in this coffee shop. And if knowledge wasn't enought, friendships have also been formed. Once the dog stops tearing up the furniture I would welcome a visit from our regulars. Until then, I guess we have to meet at McDonalds. [;)]

I had hoped to go train shopping Sunday afternoon but taking photos of the River Rail streetcar and railfanning sidetracked me. [;)] (Get it? lol) Therefore I am still looking for a tabletop N scale layout. I think, if possible, I really want something in a passenger train so I can also use it as an amusement park type train on the HO layout.
If anyone "finds" anything like this let me know. It is almost 7 pm and bedtime fast approaches, so that makes it hard to check out things and take care of business.

Take Care and Stay Safe.

If you're in HO, foam isn't going to be strong enough to support the load. Also don't listen to MR - tracks need to be at least 2 1/4" c/c, if you have fat fingers think about 2 1/2". You need to be able to put a car on the track without knocking something else off.

Teffy - I'm using 1.5" thick Pink Insulfoam on top of 1/2" plywood.

Good Evening Coffee Clubbers

Decent day down here in sunny Mexico [8D] . Daytime temps are back up in the high 80’s, air conditioning is back on.

I thought I ought to bring you up to date on the investigation into my track/engine operation. After a lot more running and scratching of the head, it looks to me like my main problem isn’t the trackwork at all, but an engine with too narrow wheels! [:0] Up until recently I had only been able to run my engines on a small test oval, no problems there. But my favorite steamer, my Spectrum 2-8-0 showed severe bouncing and derailing on the switches on the layout. [:(] I went and ran most of my diesels with no problems (okay, the SD70MAC doesn’t like a couple of spots but the 4 axle diesels are fine). Then ran the Kato Mikado and the MDC 2-8-0, also without significant problems. So I finally took the NMRA gauge to the wheels and discovered that most of the axles, including pilot truck, 2 of the 4 drive axles, and all axles on the tender were too narrow! I’m convinced that this was the cause of the majority of the problems. So the Consolidation is taking a journey, care of the USPS, back to Bachmann for rework.

I’m also doing the happy dance about location of Christmas tree. [:D] Fran suggested that we ought to leave the trains alone (gotta love that gal) and rearrange furniture elsewhere for the tree! Turns out if we mess around and put the loveseat up against the bookcase and the easy chair against the stereo, we can probably fit the tree in the living room. This works out better all around for the whole family.

Well my Giants took it in the ear yesterday. Against the Bears, no less. We’ll see how Elliot’s Vikings do against the Colts tonight. Or we will if the cable signal comes back on. Guess Brett and the Pack had a bye week.


Speaking of Christmas and trees……..Yeah, Jim, an N scale circle of track, with an engine and a couple of cars would be great under a small tree. Don’t know if you have time to go to a train show or swap meet. What you need are an old engine and a couple of beater hopper cars that you can paint up in gaudy green and red. Stick in a bunch of Christmas candy and you’re off to the races. If you really want passenger cars, go for the MDC/Roundhouse old time shorties. Nothing else will look good on a small loop. Or go for open gondolas that you can fill with candy at Christmas and put bench seating in for your amusement park. There were a lot of LifeLike GP-38’s dumped on the market last year when a large mail order hobby shop closed out it’s railroad inventory. A lot of them are showing up on ebay for +/- $20. It would do fine for what you need.

Fergie, I hope Lisa is making at least some improvement with her back. That’s got to be a real bother.

Wonder how Tom’s daughter made out today in her meetings at school. Haven’t heard from him so I hope he didn’t have to drive down there and get involved.

QUOTE: der: … my forum email window doesn't open wide enough for me to send a message that way…

You mean when you click on the email icon at the bottom of a message a window opens but not centered in your screen? You know you can ‘grab’ it by clicking on the blue top bar and dragging so that it’s centered in your window?


Teffy, nice shots. Great to finally get to see your work.


Not feeling real loquacious today. So I’m going to cut this one short. Catch you guys later.

Got to go get the beer and popcorn ready in case the cable signal comes back in time for Monday Night Football.

Hasta mañana,

You guys stay up all night or what?

Sorry Ferg - My 1st time in the 'house' in over a weeks due to [b]WORK[/b]

[Fergmiester]

Well today was a bit of a different one. Lisa is now saying she wants to go to work tomorrow, though I think it's premature, what do I know!? Tried to fix the Clothes drier for $150. Unfortunately I cracked of a heating coil insulator bracket off, which of course means a cross town trip to the place I was already at today[|(]

But I did make to the LHS in HFX and looked at a BLI CRRNJ "Mike" Mmmmmmm also got a good price on a Spectrum 2-6-6-2. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Any thoughts?

I also found a local source for Digitrax decoders. prices are 10% higher then Loy's but I wouldn't have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.

But the Big news is I actually got some quality time in an the RR! got some scenery done so hopefully I'll get some painting done tomorrow if the shell is dry.

Bob I got the manual today

All 123 pages!!!!!

Thanks, I couldn't even convince AJ to disemenate it for $10. I'm now on page 10.
Anyway if all goes good tomorrow I'll take some pages of the progress.

Can you also send me a pic of one of your boxcars done up in your livery. I want to geyt it right!

Later Gents

The place where it has been sitting these past couple of months is the place where THE TREE has to go. I’m not even going to try to argue with the VP of Finance and Real Estate over this one. There’s no real option.

Ed...Smart move. DO NOT 'T' off the VP of Finance/Real Estate. It might come back to haunt you.

[egmurphy]

Good to hear from you again JP, thought you had gone awol on us. Yeah, Fran has been more than supportive of my addiction hobby. But when you finally finish catching up on posts you'll see that we may have some movement on that front at her own suggestion!!

Ferg, good to hear that Lisa feels good enough to go back to work, even if it is too early. That's a definite improvement in the situation.


I think I'm going to have to post more often. Waiting a day or so between posts winds up with me writing an epic instead of a simple post.

Whoops, cable signal back......MNF on the tube....gotta run............

Saturday morning I'll have to help one of my dad's friends load them on a truck and take them somewhere out of the way.

Yeh, what ever

It ain't as good as Atlantic Salmon!!!!! Ask Teffy

All you need is Italian Dressing (1 cup) a few sprigs of Rosemary, a dash of basil, oregano and thyme and a table spoon of Basmalic vinegar (optional) and let the fillets or steaks sit in it for about one to two hours, flip occassionaly and then when you're ready fire up the BBQ, heat to high then 12 to 18 minutes depending on BTU and thickness.[:p] Then it's [dinner]

A nice caeser or spinach salad and a side plate of rice pilaf.

Arctic Char can also be done in this manner.

Ed: Lisa never made it, it's getting better but..... Factoid: 40% of all work place injuries are back related. go figure.

JP: Nice to see you finally heard me and woke up! Nice to see you again.

Am I going to have to yell harder so Lupo can here me? Now, there is one elusive soul as of late.

Anyway got to go.
Fergie

[egmurphy]

Well Pacific Salmon or Atlantic Salmon, I'll be glad to judge the cookoff boys. [dinner] Either one is far superior to Gulf of Mexico Salmon, which is, how shall I say, nonexistant. [:(]

The last couple of years I was working we had a project up in Washington State between Seattle and the border. I got to fly up there every couple of months. I'll guarantee I chowed down on salmon and Dungeness crab every chance I got.

While we have decent seafood down here, in my mind it's not as good as cold water fish. Whether you're talking oysters, shrimp, lobster, salmon, halibut, or whatever, I think cold water fish just have more flavor.

Isn't it a bit early to be thinking about dinner? I'm here with my first cup of coffee.


Hello, Aggro. Nice to see you over here in the Coffee Shop. I've got to admit those BLI locos sure look good. There have been recent rumors that they may enter the Normal scale market also. But I suspect their prices put those locos a bit out of my range.


John, now I understand your email problem. Sorry, no ideas. The window opens up fine in my browser.


Okay, off to get a refill. See you later.

[tomwatkins]

Good Mornin' Everybody,
It's a frosty morning in the mountains today. We were well down in the 20's this morning but it's going to be another glorious day. we've not a cloud anywhere to be seen, bright sunshine, it's going to be a great day.

Shawna's meeting with the Dean went well. She's going to drop the one class. It will go on her transcript as withdrew due to medical reasons - passing, which is fine. There is no problem at all with her staying in the dorm for the rest of the semester. The dean was much more concerned with Shawna not overtaxing herself and really getting well than anything else. We really couldn't ask for more. As always, thank you all very much for your concern, thoughts and prayers. they surely have helped and we all really appreciate them.

Der, the Branchline coaches do have diaphrams. They look good, but are fairly stiff. I inset the coupler mounting on two cars 3/32" each and test ran them yesterday. That moves the two cars 3/16" closer and they worked fine. I think I can tighten them up another 1/32" each with no problems. That would move the cars 1/4" closer together which isn't quite close enough to really be prototypical but I don't think my 24" radius curves will allow more.

Big Boy, I'm glad you enjoyed the operating session. I haven't tried that yet, but I'm looking forward to trying one. I'm glad to hear that it came back quickly.

Lupo, global communication is a really cool thing, in lots of ways. What did you and Bill find at the train show?

Ed, I'm really glad that another space for the Christmas tree has been found. That's outstanding. Sorry to hear about the guage problem with the 2-8-0. I think sending it back for repair is probably wise. Requartering drivers is not something I've tried, and not something I'd look forward to.

Noah, It's interesting how theme songs and other music can stick in your mind. There are lots of songs from years ago that I can recognize with just a couple of notes and be singing along. " I Can Name That Tune In Two Notes". " Name That Tune" was a really popular TV show in the '50s. I'll bet a lot of the older folks here in the coffee shop remember it.

Fergie, I'm glad that Lisa's back is getting better. Holding them back when they start to feel a little better and the sense of duty ( I could and I really should....) kicks in is a real challenge. Hopefully she will take it easy enough so as not to reinjure it or slow her recovery.

Teffy, the Ps-4 is absolutely beautiful. Looks like they did a fine job. That is surely one of the prettiest steam locomotives any body ever built. The green and gold passenger scheme just finishes it perfectly.

Aggro, welcome back to the coffee shop. I'm glad you got your computer problems resolved. I must disagree though. What we really need BLI to do is an accurate Southern Railway Ps-4 in green and gold.

I'd better go for now. I've got heavyweight coaches that need couplers modified and installed. Have a great day everybody,

Tom

Bob: Thanks for the tip. As you will have seen from your email, the problem has corrected itself, or been corrected by the Watchers.[alien][:D]

The pacific salmon was on sale at ou LFS, Fergie. Thanks for the BBQ marinade. Have to wait for next season, as the BBQ is in the basement (and yes the gas is in a shed folks, we try to avoid the more obvious stupidities [:D]

Kippers and quince jelly for breakfast this morning. (Try it, you'll like it) [C=:-)][dinner]

BTW Elliot, how about lupo's suggestion of "Over 3000 served". The food in here isn't lousy, unusual sometimes, but not lousy.
How was the take out Hamburger Noah? I didn't know we did them.

My BBQ is at one with our deck! As it sees the four seasons and is only inoperable when I can't get to it with a snow shovel, honest!

Our New Years day Dinner has been BBQ'd Arctic Char for the last seven years. It will be delayed this year as I'll be at sea until the beginning of January.

Kippers, haven't had a good feed of those in years. I remember back in 81' when I was a Cadet on the old Icebreaker John A Macdonald. The first morning at sea, the ship was rolling "gently". (Breakers generally don't roll gently as they are egg shaped under the waterline, therefore they're pig boats) Anyway I ordered Kippers, and of course you could smell them before you saw them and just as they were placed before me, one of the other Cadets bolted as the sight of smelly, curled up dead fish in front of her made her gag.[:D][}:)]

Anyway. The MESS has made a new aquisition as of this afternoon. It has just ordered a BLI Heavy Mike, which won't be due for delivery until Christmas.

Bob: do you have that sight for the Bobber Cabooses?

Thanks again

Anyway guys, I'm taking Lisa to the Doctor this Afternoon so I'll see ya'll later

Thought you might be amused by this story by William (Elmo) Logan from a Literacy Reader

FAR AWAY BUT CLOSE TO HOME - CIVILIANS STORIES

Uncle Doug's cure
Elmo Logan : Sober Island

With the Coast Guard we used to go out and around Sable Island. Once we were out on Sable Island delivering supplies. We could not dock the boat because of the high waves. There was a bunch of men fishing for mackerel. I went up to look over the side of the ship and I got sea-sick. One engineer, I used to call him Uncle Doug, asked me if I wanted a cure for sea-sickness, I said yes. He said you will never get sea-sick again. He said, take one of the mackerel, still alive, and rip out the heart. Give it a little wash, put it in your mouth and swallow it, do not chew it. I could feel it moving all the way down into my stomach. I felt better so I took another one. I never got sick again. Even to this day, I never get sick.

You can catch the whole 9 yards at http://www.nald.ca/CLR/faraway/stories/s1/cover.htm

Hope that Lisa's visit to the Dr. was positive.
