    Thanks Keith,
    For uploading in a specific order this is what I did.
    Click Go Advanced button
    Click manage attachments
    Drag the attachments down to the add attachment part or click on the add files and look for them there. Anyway, when you get all the attachments into the add attachment part, click on the little Green check mark and it should go away. You can then drag and drop them where ever you want in the add attachment part.
    Clack on Done when you get them where you want them.
    Click upload and they will upload in order Left to right on that add attachment part, no mater how they are arranged on the Additional options window.
    It worked for me that way.
    Regards
    Tom Holley

    Been a slave to this MRR for the last few weeks. But there has been a great deal of progress. The hard shell has now been put in down to the main yard level again. Still a looong way to go.
    Just weathering the rail in the main yard is going to be a challenge, will do small sections at a time.
    The open type looking scenery in the loop just down hill from the grain elevator at Dougherty, is 12' across.
    I used a combination of wood supports, cardboard webbing and the center is a 4'x8' removable, foam board.
    Been a lot of work, but it is gratifying to see the transformation.
    Again, never enough detail, or trees. I will however, endeavor, to persevere.
    It is a lot for one guy:D:D

    Thanks.

    Wow. Tom, you are a one man army. The size and scope of your layout is impressive and your scenery is looking first rate. Nice work. I like the deer scene as well. :)

    Yer Killin me Sherrel:D:D

    In one of your messages to me you said you would like to see the SLSF 725 in action, got me to thinking I should do that for the guys I have bought or traded power from, you all deserve that:D
    I did modify each of them a bit, to run here. But all were outstanding models in my opinion to start with.
    The GP35 725 I got from our own Sherrel Weems
    The GP40-2 756 and GP15-1 I got from Brad Slone, thanks Brad
    The GP50 790 and GP38 I got from Mr. Ken Wulfert.
    Thanks Guys!
    I have a few others as well, but did not get them pictured this time. Was considering putting the 2-8-0 I got from Keith Robinson as a pusher, but just couldn't bring myself to do that.
    Regards

    PS Just put your mouse on the pics for a little description on the pics. They all should be small enough to be downloaded without issues, I hope.

    Tom, I could just give you a great big hug. :eek:
    Those are very good shots of the loco's at work making revenue. Sure reminds me of the Frisco some 30+ years ago.
    You have designed your track layout very well in order to really benefit the rail photographers. :D

    I really like the low angle shot along the curve with the trucks to the left. Those locomotives look awesome and I can almost feel the ground begin to rumble. I love it.

    OK, that's it- I'm playing hooky & hopping a bus to Junction! The more I look at the pictures, the more I really appreciate what you've done. And here I am, worn-out GP7s and all, toiling along on the Arthur Sub........

    Keep them pics a-comin'! :)

    Reference photo 18730--
    The open hatch on #120 is a nice touch as well as the "burned over" area of forestation .. good work. :D

    Tom,

    Missed the thread, it's great to see all the loco's pulling together, it's really cool to see them on a layout since that's something I never got to do with them. Keep up the good work modeling.

    Thanks Brad
    Great to hear that from you:eek: I do work these things harder that you might think. It's kind of amazing what they will pull. We have found that 2 locomotives will pull much more than twice what 1 would pull alone. That does not sound like any great achievement but it is kinda cool:) They really do work good in an MU consist.

    Anyway here is a vid of some layout progress of late.
    Bill Jackson and a few others, will be relieved that that crossing is protected now:D
    Tried uploading to the org but even as this was only a couple minutes it is too large. Wish we could do something about that. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

    This video stuff can be some work too. Tried some sound on this one.
    Thanks Guys,
    Tom Holley

    You gotta be kiddin' me! Tom, that is the coolest thing to see. That train is crazy long and the variety of cars is awesome. Love the flashing crossing lights and the orange beacon on the loco. I'm watching that again. Cool ending as well! Thanks for posting.
