Hi Prairie. I enjoy looking at your screenpics, although most seem to be to a standard viewpoint, if everyone posted a comment your
pic thread would become just another thread of posts.

BTW how do I go from a screensave to a screenpic on here?

Ah, yes that's right. I use Imageshack and on there you just copy and paste the hotlink for forums line.

Or you could just paste the URL, and put the tags in, with your screenshots prairie, when you click on them they take you to the image shack home page.

Here's another one - trying not to bore you to death, but you should be interested in this shot from my almost complete shunting Activity for Cambrian, thank God the reverse points work...

(although while trying the Activity out, I found I could switch points myself

)

A simple shunt - put the vans and the pipe wagon in the Goods Shed, and all other wagons in General Siding 2. Uses SVR, WSR and Swanage.

Another one I completed yesterday - drive 2286 back to Machynlleth with the assembled goods from Activity 2...

...with a slight detour via Borth Spur...

...to let this lovely loco pass with an express

Any chance you could change the time of day, and weather? All your shots seem to use the same ones.

All those pictures are from two Activities set on the same day in Winter 1956, I've used Kieran's fog method to get rid of the rain and still have green grass. If you want to see different weather, it'll be on another Activity...any suggestions?

The rest of 2286's journey...

A few locos were earlier shunted out of the way by the 56xx to provide space for 2286 in the Service and Repair siding

Hey look - there's my twin again

You need to reduce the visibility to get better fog effects, or getting kosmos can help.

Back on Lyme Regis again I'm afraid, but only briefly...

Might do Swanage next, if I can drive a Class 60
