When you're looking at your picture in photobucket, look to the bottom left handside of the picture for where it says 'IMG Code'. Click your mouse in the window where the link is supplied and you'll see a box appear that says 'Copied'. The link is then stored in your clipboard in IMG form and then when you start your post in here, just right click and select paste.

This will paste your picture directly into your post like this:-

...and then we won't have to click the links each time.

Hope this helps Mart.
 
Philly has no Giant Sequois, nor mountains:hehe: Just kidding !

If you need prototype RR maps or topos, I can point you to them.



lolo .... Mountains is one thing PA has plenty of.... i worked for the Reading Blue Mountain Norfolk Southern Rail road.... back in 03 and 04 we done the tie replacment in the phillie coal yard.... dunno why but that image just popped up when i was building the route lol... and ty mark now i know next time what to do when i post my pics.... you figured after 12 years on a pc i would have atleased tried photobucket lol
 
I used to work in Camden (Pavonia Yard) NJ, Paulsboro NJ, Falls Pa, and South Phila (Greenwich Yard). I have alot of diagrams of the NEC & Harrisburg Line including Zoo and the Highline. I am also familiar with Eddystone (Baldwin Works), coal to steam power plant and Trainer Yard if you need track diagrams. My favorite area is from Reading-Harrisburg-Rockville-Marysville-Enola Classification Yard to Huntingdon-Tyrone-Altoona (Juniata Locomotive Works)-Johnstown-Conpit-Pitcairn Yard-Pittsburgh (Conway Classification Yard).

My DEM is from Huntingdon to Johnstown and North to Philipsburg, Drainlick, Grassflat, Snowshoe, Gumstump, Bellefonte areas, including the Muleshoe Curve Secondary and Wopsononock RR.

I see you like rusty track,

MP Rusty, MP Wood V2. & MP Tunneltrack Dark are the good old standbys.

WRRW TK2A Dark Ballast & WRRW High Detail (high poly)-(USLW) are my favorites, as well as RTS Tracks. Also the MRT Track at USLW is great, but is high poly.

I use "MB Finescale Quad Line" track, as a track spacing template, and later delete it and change out the deleted tracks. I like tight 4m spacing, which is @ what GFisher's 14.5 foot spacing-"PRR Track Guide" displays.

I haven't gotten around to photographing all my favorite tracks yet.

What prototype areas in PA are you interested in duplicating ?
Here's my favorite yard: http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/cascaderailroad/PitcairnYard_1km_Grid.jpg
As is Enola, Conway & Altoona's 20+ yards

Yeh it makes the Staging yard stand out from the rest of the tracks... And yeh i was using the MRT but track but it woudn't do right half the time the track would vanish from under the train... and i know its nothing to do with my pc.... i'l set up some screenshots later tonight to show ya what im talking about... So i just stick to MB Track Wood or The concrete versions for mainline they need to make some superelevation transition track version like MRT lol
 
Here is what i was talking about ... The 132 pound MRT super elevated transition track dissappears from under the trains
