Sorry Ben (and to everyone else)
To tell you te truth i did not think much of the resolution. I used to take
all my pictures on a simple point and shoot camera, and thus did not have to
do any resizing. We just got a new camera (Nikon D50for your info Ben) and we
have it at higher res than the old one.
Either way the issue has been fixed, I resized the images and re-uploaded
them. They are much smaller now. (of course you will need to wait until the
folder is re-modded.

Since you did not do this by intention, there is no need for an excuse, Lewis.
Thank you for your appreciation and the time you had to spend on over-working
the pictures and uploading them again.
I simply have the hope that others may follow this short discussion and may
learn, that small can be more enjoyable.
Anyway: now that I had the chance to have a clooser look into your creation, I
like the creative use of SNOT techniques as to be found for e.g. with the domes
on top of the boiler. For the boiler itself I partly do not like the gaps which
are visible. On the other hand it looks by far not so much polygon like as most
other designs. So all in all I am not 100% sure if I prefer this style, but at
least it is a very creative and innovative way to do it like this.
Another thing I do wonder about is dealing with the real engines of this type:
how is the coal getting from the tender and into the fire box? And where is the
firebox located? On the cab side or at the tender side?
Or is this engine driven with oil and no coal has to be shovelled into the fire
box at all?
Leg Godt!
Ben

| (...) Thanks for the comments. Yes, I don't really like the gaps too much either, but i do like it more than some of the other techniques i have used and seen in the past. I like how the tender appears more round than using slopes and the like. For (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
