Another hello from Shropshire

[chris thomas]

Hi folks,
Having just joined I thought I'd put up a photo or two - but they have been rejected on file size. They will have to wait. Layout in 0 gauge based rather loosely on the S&D in the early 60s. Loosely? Well, I've decided that Bournemouth grew in economic importance rather faster than it actually did, so I have slightly increased the traditional S&D service. Otherwise it's the Pines, through and local passengers, lots of coal and mixed freights etc. I'll post pics once I find out how to reduce the file size.

Hello Again,

I think I have managed to add a picture this time. Before I do more, I'd welcome comments on how it's come out.

Welcome Chris. And that photo looks good - very good.

I often have to resize my images, so yours is not an unusual situation. In general, and when it can be done, we prefer a full image rather than thumbnails. I'm sure we'd like to see more.

Welcome Chris, for a mad moment I thought you were another North Eastern modeller, modelling the Stockton and Darlington (the original S&D)

Thanks Brian. I've just tried another way to re-size, so we'll see how this goes! Click on full image.

Nice photo of a nice subject again, Chris, but still as a thumbnail.

When you've uploaded your file you'll notice "Thumbnail" and "Full image" in boxes underneath the photo title. If you click on "Full image" that's what you'll get!

Never thought this PC numbskull would be advising someone........

Good luck.

Hi Chris

I'm new to this forum as well and I found the re-sizing of photos etc a bit puzzling until I found the section on Forum Information. Here's a link that should take you straight to the appropriate section on photo-resizing.

I downloaded the software and it does seem pretty easy to use. Hope this helps.

Regards

Steve

Another one - I have to admit that the buildings are not my work, but they fit in beautifully!

Hi Rob,

Indeed a fascinating railway, the "other" S&D, both as a very early steam hauled mineral line and also as a very early electric hauled mineral railway. 1500V DC anyone?
regards, Chris

I like that. Just my sort of thing. And full size as well!

Just wait for the weathering police to come out, Chris. Any moment now. They are the ones in the grubby macs.

My locos and stock all look like your Standard 4 tank. They always looked like that when I was a boy. And the sun always shone.

Looks great Chris! Just looking to see where some rail built bracket signals might fit.......
