Building a webpage for my 6 y/o Railfan Grandson...

Just got the graphics for the first page finished last evening, which includes TEN trains scrolling across the page at various speeds and direction.

Will be putting links and other things on it over the next few days <:-)

Thanks, Hooker, and thank Aaron for me.  I have a 3 year old train fan grandson, Andrew.  You are giving me some clear direction here.

Will do, John, and Aaron says you're welcome and Hi to Andrew!

We took Aaron down to see the museum at the old Spencer Shops and made a bunch of pictures with him, so I figured a website would be a nice place to catalog them, pictures of his train sets, as well as links to his favorite youtube train videos.

Both Andrew and I will be waiting to see the pictures, Frank.

I've got it pretty much complete now... there will me more pictures along the way.

It was a lot of fun piecing together the scrolling locomotives, and probably will add more/switch-around locomotives from time to time... Aaron's call.

It was a great project for us and would recommend it to anyone with little RailFan's running about! <:-)

Very nice!

On my computer the horns started over again, as if in a loop.  That could get annoying after a while.  Perhaps just run the clip once, and put a hot button on the page to make it sound on command.
