My 2-8-8-4 is my largest, but I do not have any pictures of it in scenery yet. This Northern, part of the prop fleet, is my largest that has been fully painted.

Hi Ed... I am having a terrible time with these forums. My cursor keeps disappearing, and I need to click on the text box to continue typing. Sometimes I cannot even complete a single word.

Then, about half of the time I get the FORBIDDEN screen when I paste text in from MS Word.

Frustrating.
