I did. Lots of it. Story-line stuff. And hen the purge, and I lost interest in doing that again.
I did post a lot on the A-N 4-6-0 with lead boiler, longer than original (with tailstock extension), with an NW2 cab back. No idea who made the boiler.


The ephemeral nature of most posts certainly discourages doing something one would like to see last.

Well, nothing is forever. Make the most of today. Do what I did, and get a photo hoster. Happy to help if you need guidance.

Just to continue some of this.
H0 in the 0 listings:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/H-O-SCALE-CAME ... 3109748550

Plastic, late 80's and newer production. Round plug in cab roof gone. Smokebox front popped loose, Air pump a tad out of plumb. Seller cannot figure out how to focus his (or her) camera, and zero shots of right side...wonder what they're hiding?
Used to see these at train shows for $5 to $10 in that condition. From the looks of the left side of the tender, certainly not perfect paint.

Rode hard, put away wet, $12.50 shipping is about $2.50 more than I've seen for a plastic one at a train show.

Now back to 0, before we get complaints.
Dave....gone by invitation

I am completely perplexed at the numbers of horrible photos from people trying to sell stuff. Do they not even bother to look at their own photos?

Hiding stuff........well, that might feed the paranoia, but I think that they are simply incompetent and/or lazy. GIven the ease at which you can take photos this century, there's no real excuse for such crap.
