Well, I finally made it over to this forum. Hope I recognize some of you from other forums. I'm the same nhguy from the Atlas forum. I'm 48 yrs. old and live in Sugar City,CO. out east on hwy 96. This used to be a MOPAC town. They once had the National Sugar Company here, hence the name of the Town. I am originally from Wethersfield, CT. I have been living here since 1993 and Colorado since 1980 when I was in the USAF. I am currently building an HO scale layout of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad's Hartford line and the Valley branch that ran in central Connecticut. My layout is a double decked around the walls type of layout with a double track helix connecting the two levels. It resides in the 35' x 26' basement of my home. I model the 1950-1955 era. I use NCE/DCC for train control. As I am just begining this layout what I have done so far is put in most of the open grid type benchwork with a few L girder supports here and there. The Hartford Yard which is 12' x 30 " is in that can hold 480 cars and one of the hidden branch lines is in. I've got a long ways to go but the beginings work just fine. I know I will have several questions and I hope I can also be of some assitance to. I've been in this hobby since the 1960's when I was a kid. I am currently the NMRA Rocky Mountain Regions' Secretary. Feel free to contact me. Thanks for listening (reading) Bill [ 14. July 2004, 00:34: Message edited by: Bill Shanaman ]

Ok. How does one do that? I have a Sony Digital camera with photos stored in the Sony Image Transfer program that comes with the camera. How do you get it from there to here? Bill

The problem. I use Opera as a browser. Your FAQ section says you only support Netscape and Motzilla besides MS Explorer. Guess I won't be posting photos anytime soon.
Can't stand Opera - too many fat divas warbling in German and Italian. Oh, you mean a different Opera. Jon
