Can anyone help me at all by providing screen shots of all of my signal boxes please, the reason i ask is that my machine won't let me take them.....

Once i have the screen shots i will update the main pictures of my model boxes on uktrainsim

The button is there, i've tried pressing it, it doesnt work...................... hence my request. Feel that if i had some decent screen shots my models would get downloaded a bit more, like i say don't forget the signalling!

Have you tried pressing Alt + PrntScrn at the same time? Then if you open any picture package, even Paint, then if you look for 'paste' from the drop-down menu ) or just press Ctrl+V it should be there.

Splendid models, by the way - I live within sight of Lichfield TV Junction box and I can testify to your rendition of it being a cracking model. Well done, and keep it up. It's a shame that the lack till now of screen shots has put off downloaders, but I'd encourage you to press on with your excellent work.

Also, there is a file created in the MSTS directory, scrgrbx.pcx, where x is a new number for each screen shot. Resets when you restart MSTS

When I first started in MSTS it took me a while to figure that out...when I looked in the MSTS folder I found I had taken 243 screenies

God help me then

Search in http://www.train-sim.com for a program called RapidShot.

It will grab your screenshots from the clipboard and save them to a file of your choice.
