    1. Go to the image host's website (TinyPic is good and easy to use). 2. Click 'choose file' and select the image you want to use and click 'open'. 3. The file name will now appear in the appropriate field. Click 'upload now'. 4. In the pop-up window, fill out the 'captcha' security code and click 'upload now'. 5. Once the image is uploaded, you will be given a number of link options. Select 'IMG Code for Forums and Message Boards' and copy the code. 6. Paste the code into your forum post and you're ready to go!

    I'll also post a quick tutorial on how to use a third party image host, if that helps...

    An easy way to get around this is to upload to a 3rd party image host (I find http://www.tinypic.com handy), who will provide a link so you can use the image here. Use the link with the tags and paste it into your post.

    I'd doubt the engine sound on the A class would differ much between 25mph and 60/70mph, as it depends on throttle position and load, rather than speed. Same story with the 071... they can be seen at low speeds, with full throttle and turbo screaming.

    Wow, looks tasty!

    Nice. The DDA40X just about squeeze into the timeline I'm aiming for with my UP N scale stuff... although the Sprectrum loco would need a bit of work to bring it up to standard.

    Doesn't a single Centennial haul the UP directors' specials? That'd be an excuse to just buy one - although you'd then have to pick up a rake of coaches instead!

    Lovely model, Fran. I have a soft spot for the Union Pacific GTELs. What are the chances of a 'Big Blow' model hitting the shelves? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPh1JkIhoOk

    25mph is the max speed limit on the DCDR, so I'd guess it was pushed up to that. Plenty of time to get in all throttle settings. I'm sure Enniscorthyman has all the details from the day, though.

    Very effective! Any particular brand you find most effective? The nastier and cheaper the better, right?
  11. Garfield
    Aye, continental European models are fairly expensive. And some people complain about Murphy Models' prices!

    Kudos again to NS - another great scheme!

    Fantastic modelling! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

    Have you seen the LS Models Corails? Best of the bunch!
  15. Garfield
    Sleeper trains haven't used that route for many, many years now. The only Corails on the route are on three/four coach TER trains...

    Fixed your post.

    Hi Anto, The locos in those auctions are old Jouef engines, so I'm not sure how well they run. The detailing wouldn't be up to quite the same standards as today's models either. The models they produce now are great runners and have excellent detailing. Here are the the up-to-date models of those locos: http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=115104&catID=118 http://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=163893&catID=118 Roco also produce models of these locos, which are a bit cheaper but may need a little bit of 'hands on' work to get them to the same standard.

    I recently came across a company called Absolute Aspects, who produce rather good colour light signals in 4mm scale. They're a perfect match for the modern signals used by IÉ. Their website can be found at www.absoluteaspects.com.

    Nice work, Anto! Quick question... did you use the hairspray method to get the chipped look on the cement bubbles?

    The City Elefant looks similar to to the Z20900 EMUs used on SNCF's Paris suburban services... http://www.flickr.com/photos/13039838@N06/5885768170/

    I had a secondhand Y8000 but I sold it on a while ago. It ran well but it was looking a bit rough around the edges and the model needs a detailing kit to bring it up to standard, in my opinion. I'll probably buy another one at some stage and detail it, though, because I do really like those locotracteurs. The 68000 is nice, but I've never seen photos of one running on Le Cévenol - at least not in the last 10 years or so - so I couldn't justify the cost of buying one at the moment. Fab-looking loco, though!

    Amateur!

    J Beaumont is none other than JHBAchill171, who should be here in due course.

    Speaking of Penn electrics... were you tempted to pick up one of these? http://www.internethobbies.com/bac-82405.html
  25. Garfield
    Quite true! Of course, the E units didn't pull it off as well as the GG1s... http://www.flickr.com/photos/thefuton/3442109288/ A loco in the NYC lightning bolt scheme will look great!
