Looking forward to seeing the photos of the train, Hitman. Like you, I had an awful time of it the first time I tried to put images in a post (it was on another forum).
As someone has suggested, if you host the images on a site like Photobucket, or similar, there will be an img code that you click on and which, when you paste it into your paste, magically transports the image! I was amazed how easy it was - once somebody actually told me how to do it.
Anyway, looking forward to the pictures and once my own train is done (some time in the summer), I'll be posting up pictures as well - if I can remember how to get the technology to work!
