Nice photos. You should try Shutterfly for hosting - really easy.

Send me that Cab Forward and I will post it for you.

[Erik C Lindgren]

I’ll try that. I don’t care much to pay for storage.

[Erik C Lindgren]

Well crap!

I take it you hit a snag?

Remember when you were doing a book? I just did one through Shutterfly, and while a tad expensive, the result looks pretty professional, and is definitely coffee-table worthy. Best of all, it seems to be free to create it, and it stays there ready to print if anybody decides they want a copy. I don’t get royalties, but for me it is a hobby.

Using Shutterfly is pretty much trouble-free. You may not get great resolution, but here it is a lot better than OGR, where your images are reduced in pixel count when they appear.

Steps: 1. Join. I don’t remember any tricky steps except agreeing to their conditions.
2. Upload your photos. Just follow the prompts.
3. Click on a photo you want to place in MTJ - then “right click” it. (I have not tried iPad selecting; assume you can “touch” the image)
4. Select the option most closely resembling a link, and copy that
5. Then come here and paste that link, after first selecting “Img” above. It is nine blocks to the right.
For my computer, the selection of “Img” puts it in my post, then a “control V” places the link in between two halves automatically.

It looks like this: [img]link%20automatically%20placed%20here[/img]

You can, of course, using brackets and typing your own img and /img codes, do the same thing. If you surround your link with these codes the image will appear.

The cost? Pretty much free. Order five dollars worth of prints every 18 months to keep them happy. I did my book pretty much out of gratitude for four years of free storage.

Trying the iPad



Nope. Not sure how to do it on the iPad.

Yes. Not quite sure how I did that, but it involves touching the image, then “copy”. Still, easy. Only took about two minutes to figure it out.

Here is a link to my book:

Looking is free.

It is possible to buy a hard copy. List price is a hundred bucks plus shipping. They offer 50% off sales every other week, but even at fifty bucks it is expensive for a 32 page book. The quality is definitely there - I am going to create, and buy, a “Doorstop Diesels and old Passenger Car” book for my next 18 month “gratitude” project.

There must be a way, Erik.

For the image I picked up the image code from your flicker site and pasted it inbetween [ img ] and [ /img ]

[bob turner]

That’s the key - press the Img button, then paste your code. It automatically goes inside the property code brackets.

Really nice photos! I am a cab forward freak. I saw them run. I rode behind one from Deming or Lordsburg to El Paso on the Argonaut.

I agree. The photos and models are so good that I keep looking for clues: Are they real or models?

I was three years old the first time I saw a cab forward. It came out of the Los Angeles Harbor pulling a load of bananas in iced reefers. As it went through a turnout I thought it was falling apart because the second set of drive wheels came out from under the boiler/smoke box. Once through the turnout, it came back together.

Wow, that worked for you Webenda, how odd as I thought I tried that it only shows the link in blue not the actual photo.. I will investigate.

Many,many, more to add

Great looking equipment Bob, top marks!
