Ok Stew. On your first post I think you were nipping at the egg nog. :D I see you spelt your name without a "T" in it. :lol:

Pics could be of the size you used showing the wheel being turned. Others are a bit small for veiwing detail.

Very nice looking engine by the way. It'll be nice to see it under steam.

Why are so many British engines made with inside cylinders? It would seem they would be hard on the maintance crew to service.

Hi Bernd

Thanks for the comments I was a bit concerned that the big pics would gobble up too much memory but that's probibly me I don't understand these computer thingies very much :scratch: I've no idea why they liked inside cylinders, with this particular loco the slide valves were inclined on an angle, this is what they atributed their power too, the steam having a more direct route into the cylinders, I don't know if this is correct or not.

The missing T you can atribute to unruley fingers that and my poor spelling:- spelling is somthing I've strugled with all my live, its probibly held me back a bit:- spell checker rules ok :headbang: speeking of which where is the a spell checker :scratch:

Cheers
:wave:

I don't think you need to worry about space for the pics. I'm sure the software will yell at you if it gets to be to much. :)

What you said does make sense about a more direct route to to the cylinders. :thumbup:

I have a problem typing too. Sometimes the brain (all of 2 cells) are working faster than the fingers can type. I noticed my lack of spelling when I post. What's worse is my grammer and compousre of what I'm trying to say. ::)

I had asked Eric about that to, spell checker. I sometimes will prepare a long post using my word processor and then just doing a "copy" to transfer the post to the board. Then I go and add the smilies aftwards. :dremel:

Anyway, looking forward to more posts on that engine build. Just make the pics a bit bigger so we can see the detail. Now get with it. :whip: :D

Stew,

Very nice set of interesting articles.

I wouldn't worry too much about the spelling, if we can understand it, that is all that matters. Everyone has their own little problems, and you shouldn't let it hold you back on expressing yourself.

I usually set my picture size before uploading to bucket as x = 8" y = 6" for landscape pics and x = 6" y = 8" for portrait. At those sizes they are big enough to see, but not too big that you have to scroll the page to see all the piccy. By putting the pics into bucket and putting a link to it, saves a great deal of space on the site.

I personally must get back to putting pics into bucket first, as really I am being lazy just posting them straight into the article under 'additional options', I normally only use that for crap-o-cad sketches.

Nice one Sew

Very nice Stew.

Worry not about the space for pictures. I still have plenty left!

As far as the spell check... that is coming guys. I need to move over to the dedicated server first. This is a shared server and the hosting company doesn't want to install the needed files for the spell checker to work with the SMF sofftware.
