The Saga of My Ever Shrinking Railroad

[vsmith]

Scenery substantially completed at the town and spur area, this is time consuming stuff:

Gas station installed, still need to add the station sign, its coming:

This is actually behind the station but then the best beleivability lies in what you only see from askew:

This is just one corner of one side, 3 more sides to go!

The detail around the filling station - brilliant!

I find this all rather annoying - there is no indication on Vic's postings of any pictures (only gaps in the text) - no bottom bar with thumb nails - nothing at all other than text.

Mick, try clicking on the link below. It's the last current image of this topic, maybe your computer settings have a problem with the website in question.

Hi Neil,

Tried the link but couldn't get on (Server Not Found). Don't understand these things - no indication that it is blocked - at a loss really. Thank you anyway - I'll just have to use my imagination.

Mick I really dont understand why you cannot see anything, all my photos are posted on the Mylargescale site, but its not like their any secret handshake or fee or permission required to access the site, its a public site, try accessing the MLS site directly here:

http://www.mylargescale.com/Community/Forums/tabid/56/aff/6/aft/25315/afv/topic/afpgj/2/Default

If that doesnt work try Google searching http://www.mylargescale.com/ < Link To www.mylargescale.com If you can access regular .com sites on the web, there should be no reason you cant access the site that I can determine.

Hi Vic - thanks for posting - have tried links and both say server not found. I've also tried google with same results. Its odd really because if anything is blocked it usually says so ( although Firefox sometimes blocks aspects of Adobe that it reccomends for updates!). It is strange but I wonder if there is more information than my system can handle and it times out before the handshake is complete!
There is no hint of any photos other than gaps in your text and other forum members commenting on what they see.
I do know (through frustrating experience) that my broadband link - via satellite - is heavily trafficked out here in the West of Ireland because hard wire broadband is out in these rural areas.
Often it locks up because nothing is getting to or from the server.

I will persevere (until I give up at least).

Regards

Mick

Mick, can you see this - a tiny version of one of the above pictures.

 

[vsmith]

Got alot more scenery done, at least to what I consider the "basic level" of scenery

Chief Mechanic Homer is lovin his new ride!

Realizing its kinda tough to shot pics without catching all the junk that surrounds it in the garage. Gonna need a graphics program to edit that out.

Thanks Stockers - hadn't looked at this thread after posting my dissapointment! Yes no prob with your pic. When you say "tiny version", it implies to me that the originals are too big for my PC to cope with.

Again, Vic's new posting shows no trace of pics only a space in the text.

Here is a overall picture, kinda crowded but it gives a good idea of it overall:

The upper layout is removable, I designed it so the top could go to shows, but so far its only been to one (1) show since 2008...so I might just fix it permanantly.

Sorry Mick, send me a PM with your personal e-mail, I'll send you pics to bring you up to date

Vic is linking his pictures from an external source to GSC, rather than uploading them direct to GSC - this is a perfectly normal way of doing things. For some reason your web browser is not accessing that site. Unfortunately there are many reasons why this may be so. I dont think that size matters here!!!!!!!!!!!!.

 

[trammayo]

Have PM'd Vic - many thanks for your offer - look forward to seeing your work.

Thanks for posting the overall picture Vic - it just shows how much you can pack into a small space. However, I have a question...

Hi Alan - well that's probably cleared up that question - I'm using Firefox but as I am clueless about settings, I'll have to wait for one of my sons to come down to alter things! Meanwhile, I'm getting 'one to one' pics from Vic (which is very kind of him - I'm no longer in the dark).
