Nope. Stand by. Takes a bigger computer.

When I click on the link I get this photo:



To get it to show here, I posted the link address between double bracket pairs: []link address[], with "img" in the first bracket pair and "/img" in the second pair.

Good idea - I just came to the big computer to do something like that - the iPad does not have right-click.
The point is supposed to be - Maroon inspired me with this thing, so I did an All Nation Atlantic, sort of copying his. Then I lit into another A-6, this one to be #3001 in Daylight colors. I just happen to have Lobaugh 84" drivers left over, and tonight I got the new Atlantic standing on all fours with the cab and cylinder block bolted where they should be. I plan to show photos soon, as I progress. I shall need a 100C tender, which is one of the few SP tenders I have yet to create. More later.

On your iPad, hold down on the link with your finger and touch copy



Bring up the image brackets




Hold your finger down between them. That’s the tricky part sometimes




Touch paste




It should come up or at least it does on my iPhone which functions much like an iPad. Touch preview and it should be there

Oh, yeah! That technology is SO much easier than right click/copy on my XP machines.
I need to enter the 21st century...maybe...possibly......nah.

Okay. All I wanted to do was start out with Maroon's photo. Obviously this is no longer about SP Atlantics, although the suggestions above are very worthwhile.

True. But try that on your XP sitting at a traffic light, or in your vehicle, walking down the street, etc. you get the idea.

Do any of those and you'll probably get run over...

So many are doing that daily, I want to run them over. Traffic is bad enough as it is. Now we have A**holes playing games on their phones, taking selfies post about the burrito they had for breakfast or video chatting.

Is this my fathers forum? Get off of my lawn! This forum is the extent of my social media. I don’t take selfies and I don’t take pictures of my food or play games, while driving. At the traffic light, that’s a different story, but I still pay attention. Although I would agree that I’m rather annoyed by the people that don’t pay attention to the lights and hold up traffic while they’re looking at their phones. You don’t have to do it or like it or even embrace it, but it’s here to stay.

Yes, but here to stay but over in MD the police do hand out tickets - they park and spot everyone lined up at red lights with binoculars. Funny watching the folks that look up and realize they're toast.

Never witnessed such events on any of my routes. Not to say it doesn’t exist however that’s going to be hard to enforce. I’ve heard laws that prohibit texting while driving but sitting a a traffic light? I see people doing all sorts of things at a red light. Whatever, it’s nothing more than state revenue.
