This is a water tower I got off eBay already built with a bunch of other stuff. I fixed it up a little while painting my engine house.

Hopefully you will be using better pictures. These don't show your work at all. Quite simply, the better the photograph, the more money you will get. I would also trade on your reputaion.

And spread the auctions apart. Some people have really good things they put close together such that if they win one, they can't even bid on the others. Keep everyone in the game. Allow the guy who want the whole set to bid high to get them all.

Been going to Rexhea's layout for a while now and working and running on it. Thought we'd post a picture of
the morning lineup of trains as the day starts.

GREAT PICTURES everybody, KEN, i did the paper mill out of MDF covered with corrogated plastic sheet from work, we get it between truck parts in pallets, it's used as dividers and goes in the bin, but it is just right for buildings in HO scale. Grande man, i love the fence, i have some flyscreen material just like that, it will be made into fencing when everything else is done,
Kevin Beeler, the foliage will look GREAT, keep it up
AGGRO, i was excited about posting my latest pics, hope the Ebaying goes well, i am planning a sale on there myself
Tim, my ideal job would be building railroads but model railroad building time is very precious with three under fives around
Carl, i like the canyon, it makes model railroads look like they are giong somewhere

Steve,

Are you available for hire ? [;)]

Your embankments are excellent !!! I can already see that they will look great once you've finished sceniking. Keep up the great work, and, for the love of the gods, keep posting pictures.

Very nice looking work everyone! I have been working on a foliage covered backdrop wall for one side of my layout. It is just a wood frame, which I covered with plaster to give it some shape. I am now in the process of putting on some plaster rock molds, and attaching the foliage. Here are a couple of pics of the progress.

Great minds think alike, maybe? [:D] Actually my fence is a kit I got at the LHS, but the theory is the same. Give it a try, it works well.

ETA this straight camera angle shot of the chain link fence.

Darth, you need to get an account with a webhost for photos. I use www.railimages.com, a free site, that'll take a couple of days to get you registered. Once you are up and running, and have uploaded some pix, you get each pix's URL and copy to a new post here. Make sure it is the enlarged version, not the thumb. Then, you preface the URL immediately with a [, followed by 'img', not the quotes, just the three letters, followed once more by the closing ]. Not parenthesis, but the square ones. Following the URL, another [, followed by /, another img, and close brackets. or ]. That will tell the MR server to get that image.

Darth Santa Fe, you will have to have a photo hosting web site i use free webs, or you could try Photobucket, you copy your pictures URL onto your message but you will have to put [ img ] in front and [ / img ] at the end (no spaces between characters) or all you will get is

this is another explanation from Bob

Posted by FundyNorthern Posted: 15 Jun 2005, 20:24:46

Photobucket gives you two options for selecting photos they host. One starts like you've posted, with http: The others start with [ img ] and end with [ /img ]. (I've added extra spaces between the square brackets so this will show up here).

The second option is the preferred one on this forum, as your photos apper right within your post, no need to click on to see.

I've added the

Easy as that!

Thanks for posting them in any fashion!
