Dusty,in your photobucket "library",left click the (IMG) line at the bottom right of the picture you want.This will hi-lite that line in blue.Now right click on the blue line,and it will open the "options "window".Left click on "copy". Now go to your forum post and,with the cursor on a new,empty line click "paste". Be sure to leave a line space between your image,and any typing above or below it.

Edit:The actual image won't show up until you post your reply.

 

 

 

Actually, that is NOT the best way to post photos from Photobucket.

Instead..... Highlight the code for "Direct" ( second of 4 codes listed) ... Copy it.

Next. .... Look for the icon above the post body which looks like a mountain with a sun in a rectangle..... Click on it. Paste into the line that says "Source" ... Click "Ok". 

Now you can see the image. When you post you will not see the blue, underlined text which also is a link to your Photobucket.

farrellaa Great building. Could you please tell me what you used for the shingles (?) on the sides of the building? And any tips about application and painting? Thanks. wdcrvr
 

I used BTS laser cut cedar shingles (adhesive backed, very nice!). I used the same ones for the roof, just different paint colors. I used acrylic craft paints from Walmart or Hobby Lobby, about $ .97 each. Best advice in applying the shingle is to take your time (and it takes a lot of time) and keep putting guide lines on the roof/side to keep them parallel and in line. This is one of the most realistic models I have ever built and is not permenantly mounted on the layout yet.

Thank you everyone who has posted photos.  This edition was great over 4 pages of  amazing photos.

March has come to an end, but the April 2015 Edition is now open.

Thank you, Mike.

I'll  try your suggestion. This worked when I loaded the pic to the forum here to use as my avatar, however for some reason that is totally unfathomable to me, the same plan i used then won't work with my current photobucket account.

Dusty.

Pictured are a 4-4-0 and a 2-6-0, both Spectrums W/S

More than two days, on the second page and no train running by the ocean.  So there is another diesel servicing facility:

An easy one now. Show me a favorite car or locomotive.

Thanks, Grampy

...but I love your P-Company scenes and they are an inspiration for me.

The only reason I got those SD-45s is that they looked SO neat on your layout I just HAD to have some too!

Show me a second-generation diesel.

Here's some six-axle horsepower getting a little shop work in the early evening sun. Brand new Pennsy EMD SD-45s get their first service next to an Alco C-630 and her older sister on the right.

Show me another shop scene—steam, diesel, electric or rolling stock.

SMS halfway down the second page. We can't have that.

Not a Class II railroad, but my fictitious connecting road:

Show us an F-7, Gp-7 or any other contemporary locomotive.

Here we have a Manufacturers Railway and an Indiana Northeastern box car brought up by a Lake Superior & Ishpeming Ry. caboose.

MRS was once owned by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis. The Indiana Northeastern operated parts of the old Wabash out of Montpelier, Ohio and ran up to Coldwater Michigan. LS&I called Marquette, Michigan home and operated in the U-P

More short line equipment, please...
