Not sure why, but I'm unable to see your photos without clicking on the little "image" box, and sometimes even that doesn't work.  Is there a setting on your Trainweb account that allows the photos to be shared on a site like this?

Or ... there's a problem with my computer.  It's entirely possible the problem is with my computer.

I can see it and when I click on it, it opens as a jpg in a larger size, so I'd say the problem is on your end.

My computer does that also sometimes when it first starts up. I think it is because the memory is full and the harddrive doesn't swap because it's too busy running the anti-virus program or indexing the harddrive, but it eventually shows the pictures.

 Another reason might be that the trainweb server is busy or slow.

The lumber is inside the main facility.
 
 
I combined two Walthers kits and two Atlas kits to form the lumberyard giving the impression the complex had been built in stages over the years.
 
 
I have the materials to build a chainlink fence around the lumberyard. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
 
More lumber or logging scenes.

Rule 2: I make the rules.

Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Club President Mike made these fine corrugated pipe loads.
 
Preferably another pipe load, please, though any load will do.
 
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

I would have thought there would have been more flat car loads but as it’s quiet, please show me whatever takes your fancy, model railroad wise that is!Smile

There was a lot of competition along the Chicago-Twin Cities corridor so I'm sure this Hiawatha 4-4-2 could hold its own.

Stock cars are built for speed. Here are some on display at the annual Route 66 car show.

Please show me something not railroad related on your layout.
