Any word on the train? After the breakneck pace that it's set, two weeks with no updates is about to lead to withdrawal...

The train was with me and delay was caused by me getting sick.  :(  I ran it on Friday and it is currently on its way to VonRyan.  I'll post the photos and videos soon.

I hope the train is not carrying a cargo of sick germs with it.  :D  Hope you're feeling better.

Missing pictures

So the pictures in my thread are missing.
The pictures are hosted locally in TRW gallery and I assume this has something to do with  :tommann: converting the forum from http to https.

@tom mann : can you look into this please?

If you modify your post and change http to https that will work. I can change it with a script tomorrow. How are you and @wcfn100  getting the image size in there? That's why my original upgrade script didn't work.

@tom mann, isn't the forum just downsizing automatically within the tag?  I'm not doing it, and it's not in the tag I copy from the Gallery.

Here's what I copy:

Code: [Select]
[img]https://www.therailwire.net/forum/gallery/532_31_12_16_12_51_44.jpeg[/img]
Here's what the forum does to it.

Code: [Select]
[img width=1024 height=768]https://www.therailwire.net/forum/gallery/532_31_12_16_12_51_44.jpeg[/img]
Here's the image, it's 2685 x 3580.

I fixed that post by following your instructions (changed http to https).  Yes, like Jason said, After I hit the "Post" button the forum automatically adds the size tags when the pictures are larger than 1024 pixels wide.

I spotted the train being run by @VonRyan  on the NTRAK layout during the Springfield show.

Tim Horton -- could you give us a heads-up when the memorial train visit to our own layouts will appear in N scale mag? I live about 60 miles RT from a LHS so I have no way of keeping tabs on what's published.

There were 2 articles so far; but I have no idea of what they were about. I was early on in hosting the train and don't want to miss seeing my layout.

I thought we were all responsible for submitting our own photos and articles...  I penned a column under the "N Scale Approach" banner... which I apologize has become somewhat sporadic as my modeling efforts have been in decline... I haven't heard from Pam if it's been accepted, though.
