This is my thread. I don't see much as off topic. You can even talk about SEIV.
Folks should feel free to share almost anything including other hobbies.
So, you going to do up N scale now? With Kato Trak.

No LOL. I am sticking to "Real trains" HO scale . I am waiting for my kids to move out. Then I take over the bedrooms. N scale is so small and with my eyes getting worse as I age (42 already) I don't think I could handle the smaller parts.

I probably will use standard Atlas track and ballast it myself. The only changes I plan are DDC, new layout and maybe kadee couplers. I was using hornhook because all of the engines and cars I got from my Dad had them. But they were a pain. So The Kadee conversation will start when I start the layout.

Can I upload an image from my computer?

Sure. You can attach it to your post. Click on the checkbox next to "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file," which is just above the "Continue" button. Make sure to save it in a compressed, non-bitmap format first. Then, after you have made the post, you can add it in-post by inserting something of this form into your post:

Code:

---

 [image]http://url.com[/image]  

---

You can get the url of your image simply by viewing it. Click on the Attachment link on your new post, which is below the post title. Copy the address of the image from the address bar. Make sure it has the file extension of what you uploaded. You don't want the code that links the file download in the post to the actual file, you want the actual address of the file. Use this address in place of "url.com" in the above quoted image code. Edit this into your already existing post.

Okay I am attemping to attach a scanned image of an HO scale model train.

It's Alive! It's Alive!

Thanks Fryon

Anyway I custom painted that engine using Krylon spray paint. I created the custom decals using Walthers decal paper and my HP 632C printer. THe trick though is to take the printed sheet to Staples and ask them to make a color copy of the printed sheet for you or they will smear and bleed when appling. Oh the engine is a Stweart Hobbies Alco 628C.

Oh SEIV is so cool.
