So I came back here to experiment again with this photo posting gameI do know the 'right-click-copy, right-click-paste' routine, but that does not work on the forums, within the body of the posting,....does it?
Doesn't one have to use the 'manage attachments' button below, and then either simply let the photo attach to the end of the posting, OR utilize the little 'paper clip' symbol above and place the attached image within the text of the posting?
Or use the 'insert image' icon in the tool bar?
I've been trying these 3 methods without success, and to tell the truth I'm getting a little frustrated. This forum utilizes different software than my boating forums.
Where did you get the photo of mine you just posted above, and EXACTLY what steps did you use to post it in that 949 pixel wide size (I don't think I have that photo posted in that size anywhere?)??
Sorry for the hassle, but perhaps I can learn something new.
I have to agree with you there. I was really trying to get some club or private person to accept this layout as a whole, but no one came forward, so the layout had to be cut into scenes. I wish I had found out about this before the fellow managing things ended up taking it in pieces to a train show in Balt. Fortunately I had placed a bid on this scene in advance, and no one bested my bidI call that "modelling in the intense zone".
Trimming the waterfront scene, 2019
https://forum.mrhmag.com/post/inter...r-lake-faust-junction-12208132?pid=1331305634
I've been VERY concerned with cutting up (trimming) this great piece of modeling, but yesterday I had to bit-the-bullet and give it a try. I needed to cut an end off of the scene that had 3 small buildings on it,..to make room for the double track mainlines that will cross behind it.
I used my trusty old Swedish made hand saw as I needed to get 3 layers of foam and 1/2" plywood.
Now I will need to get to a couple of other edges, AND figure out how I am going to place it on/in the layout deck such as to be able to easily remove it when working on the brick factory behind it, and whatever I end up placing in the corner of the layout on the very top deck.
Transcontinental Theme
I knew I only had just so much space in my train shed, and like my previous Central Midland layout I wanted maximum number of industries included. My thoughts were that heavy industrial areas had rather a lot of tracks in them. So I would have one rather heavy industrial area on my lower deck, then another on my upper deck. The rather long track in the helix would represent the distance across the country from the west coast (California) to the east coast (Balt).
This transcontinental theme resulted from my desire to have considerable rolling stock (and engines) from Santa Fe and B&O, C&O. That thought had first surfaced back on my Central Midland layout and just fell right over into my new layout. I had also become aware of the significant amount of containerized traffic that carried Asian goods across the country prior to any expansion of the Panama canal. So that became one of my primary themes, getting container trains from their west coast port to an east coast port.

my present day lower deckI have a new way that I am looking at my current layout plan. Some folks have talked about allowing 'open spaces' between towns, and even industries, so things don't look so crowded.
I was looking at the bottom deck of my layout yesterday, and what I was seeing was all Baltimore. It is the compact industrial area of Baltimore, the turntable/roundhouse, the coaling station, the freight yard, the steel mill, the waterfront village, the brick factory, cement silos, the coke plant, the power station, the container port, the carfloat, the stone arch viaduct, etc. Most all these industries were found in Baltimore at one time.

Aren't they now showing??Very nice scene. I think that is a builders in scale lite house. Too bad so many pics aren't showing.
No. None of the Photobucket pictures are showing up; at least not for me.Aren't they now showing??
I think those 'photobucket photos' were part of that fiasco that photobucket created. I dropped them totally.No. None of the Photobucket pictures are showing up; at least not for me.
