Gidday, Unfortunately Yes!!, mores the pity. I thought it was just me. Can't even get on to his home page.

Cheers, the Bear.

No, his photos are coming through fine here in the southeast U.S.

The last request was Garry's I believe, "Please show another Alco locomotive or more than one."

Guys, I don't know why you are having trouble seeing my photos. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong at this end or at Intergate.com.

I'm not sure if I have used this photo before, but it is an ALCO RS32.

How about an ALCO Steamer?

Remember its your railroad

Show me a Baldwin locomotive.

On pictures not showing.

I have noticed every once in a while, I will get the text but no picture. When this happens I refresh the page and the picture shows up.   My reasoning is, although I have nothing to back it up, that my antivirus stops the picture.
Just a thought. good luck.

Thanks Lee,

but I cannot get onto intergate.com (where the images are hosted) at all. I've tried different PCs and different browsers too.

One test I did said it was a firewall somewhere, but it's not mine, and if Jabear is also having trouble, it might be a firewall getting into USA. I'll just have to live with it for now.

cheers

Just got back on my computer from a minor crash.  Anyway, here's my oldest locomotive.  3, actually, that date from 1964.   The middle 2-8-8-4 with the engineer climbing down from the cab is actually the one I bought new in '64, the other 2 Yellowstones have been purchased since.

Like Jarrell said, show us yhour favorite photo of something on your layout.

This is my favorite photo(with a little editing software help) of the yard on my layout.

Show me something that doesn't really "belong" on your layout,but you like too much to remove.

Those are two of the finest photos that I've seen. It looks as though you could walk right out into the yard.

Fantastic.   Thumbs Up  Thumbs Up

Perhaps, the track entering the scrap yard meets Jarrell's request.

Show us an old locomotive.

OK, here she is!  First Sound Loco I have bought...  Sounds awful, so first item of business will be to shut it off (I will clip a speaker wire if i have to!).  Been wanting one for quite some time.  have been waiting for Bachmann to come out with a DCC ready painted, undecorated.  Not going to happen.  They say they don't sell.  Of course they don't sell, they don't make them....

Lookes like I need to do some dusting on this part of the layout.  Haven't touched anything over here in months and it shows.  Loco runs well at first glance (just put her on the layout tonight, arrived yesterday).  I will soon be stripping the NYC stuff off and decaling her for the SLOW.

Show me something else new.

We'll get there sooner or later!

Its been 9 months since these were shot, I'd like to get them finished this year, along with 2 more GP38AC's, then my Midland fleet will be complete! (except for #102, that will never happen!) Grumpy

Show us another project you want to see completed in 2013.

Gidday All,

I'm possibly masochistic or stupid, or both, Confused but I 'd like to think that I'd have all of these running  with extra pick ups, DCC and possibly sound installed in the Cab forward at least.

I know that the response to KBKCHOOCH Karls' request has been slow but I find it very hard to believe that the forum is lacking in modellers with projects to complete in 2013 so, please show me a project that you want to see completed in 2013, or failing that one you'd like to start on.

Cheers, the Bear.

My intersection, which is a work in progress.  I have the road lines down, but I need to get some traffic lights and street lights put up to finish the scene.  I'm thinking of going with the Walthers hanging traffic lights and hanging them from telephone poles like at real construction sites with the temporary traffic lights.

Show me something having to do with Chicago.

Long live the J!
