Not working for me and I'm using IE.

If you go to the media page and view the recently uploaded photos does it show there?

It doesn't work for me either, I get the same message on a lot of Zwilnik's posts and on several of the joke posts, Is it a glitch in the system perhaps?

Still no pictures even from the direct link that zwilink put on his post

I've created a thread in the forum problems and suggestions area for this issue. If you're having problems viewing pics from my album and/or any other posts, can you post your details (i.e. what you're viewing from and what browser/version number) in that thread. That will hopefully make it easier to find what's going funny.

Can see all Zwilnik pix on this thread too. Love those low level shots, SD35!

I have put a suggestion onto your new thread Zwilnik, see if that helps.

Today I am mostly relaying the Up Main and Up Loop through Sherwood station, the main line is being laid with wooden sleepers instead of the concrete sleepers I used initially, as when I started the layout it was going to be set in the 1970's, now we've gone back to the 50's the concrete sleepers are disappearing, apart from odd sections in loops and sidings. Got a main to loop crossover to replace and then add point motors to the loop entry point and catch point, to be worked from one switch.
Is really warm in the railway room though, got the fan on and the windows open!

Modifying Dapol 156s to go round my one-and-only 9" radius curve without derailing, modifying lorries for the dairy, modifying my Class 37 to get around split-chassis pickup problems . . . lots of modifying, well I am a 'Mod'

I need to finish modding my Dapol B1 to go round 9" curves properly.
Is your 37 the old Farish model? What problems are you having with pickups?

Chris

Sprintex · July 17, 2014, 11:57:32 AM

It's the Bachmann split-chassis hash-up of the old Poole model, running wires directly from the pickups to the decoder to cut the chassis out of the circuit as was suggested in THIS THREAD

Worked a treat for my Class 31 so the 37 and HST are getting the same modification

Putting the new track layout into Claywell's terminus approach has turned out a much bigger job than I had imagined as I've also decided to tidy up the tracks where two boards meet as I have had to odd derail happen.

Track down and now fitting point motors but three of them are against the edge of the board so have to do some WIT to overcome the problem, why isn't anything easy.

Claywell as you have never seen it

,for more pictures of the works see my thread here http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=6570.msg234135#msg234135

I think you have a problem with the alignment
