Hi

General Discussion
#1

This is my first post, just wanted to say hi.

I am working on my first G layout, inside and outside. only the inside is done, a 4 track yard and storage. Using RailPro. Am in southern Arizona, just starting to warm up here. Only warm for a little while, then just hot.

So, again, hi!

Hi Rob,

I’m between Benson and Tucson in Vail, welcome to our madness.

Pics; you have space in the Freight Shed for pics, then they get copied to your threads. See header.

We ask that they be kept to 800 pixels wide. You’ll save space editing before the upload.

Video Embedding

This topic has to be re-mastered every time the site owner makes an upgrade to the software. For this incarnation the procedure is…

  1. Grab the embed code from the YouTube video (directly on the video) right click in OPERA (copy embed code); right click in FireFox (Copy embed code); right click in Chrome (get embed code);right click in IE (get embed code).

  2. In the reply window click on “insert/edit video” button in the top row (looks like a movie frame), and select “Embed”.

  3. Paste the embed code (copied from YouTube) in the box and click “OK”.

That’s what we all found works now. Some day down the road we will have to find a new way for new software, but for now this works. Have fun!

Photo inserting

  1. Start by uploading your photos to a server. You have storage space in the Freight Shed on this web site.
  2. After they are uploaded, click on the file you want to open.
  3. Once it is opened, RIGHT click on the picture and select copy image location. DO NOT use the url in the address bar of your browser.
  4. Next click on the insert photo button in your post and paste the image location in the source line.
  5. Look at the dimensions. You will see them if you click on the first box (height). Make it 800 then click on the second box and it will automatically be correctly scaled.
  6. Then hit OK and your photo will be in your post.

Welcome Rob. It’s also NOT necessary to LIKE the Rooster…(although he IS a pretty good guy and a VERY good modeler) YMMV(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)
