I got this part in a big lot of train bits. (URL) tried looking it up on Partsref and Peeron with no luck. It doesn't even have a part #. The only reference it has on it is 2-01 on the bottom (unless that is the #, but I tried it also no luck). (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Another approach that doesn't require the macaroni but should be almost as good is to simply use the 2x2 rounds as strengtheners. Since they stick together with the studs and also have an axle hole down the middle, you could use them to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

(...) gah! that's a terrible thing to do, IMO. not only you force people to download the huge picture, just to see it as 100x65, but you use up their cpu to resize it, every time anyone hits the page... instead of just resizing them once yourself, (...)

I usually just split the difference and try to plan everything online to be slightly less than 600x800: pictures, html, etc. One of the better browsers to use is one called Opera, currently in version 6. One of it's cooler abilities is to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.publish.html)

The browser which comes with Windows XP does resize automacially when opening a *.jpg file, but when opening htm files it can be done I think.... I saw such a trick today at work. I can find it if you want so. I usually try to keep it 500 wide / 400 (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

(...) I'm in the low end camp. For most things, a 640x480 image is plenty, especially if you crop it. I will go up to 800x600 or even 1024x768, but I much prefer to keep them small. Of course I'm still running a 33k modem so large images are a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

There should be a main picture page on Calum Tsang's Peachy Server (w/ RTL Events photos) regarding Train 3. (I don't think it is quite ready yet.) It will link all the photos that everybody took. I am quite sure that there were several with photos, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) My preference is at least 400 pixels wide and at most 1024 wide. This doesn't hold for wallpapers, of course. Perhaps there's a way that the HTML could be modified to resize the images to the browser width if the image is large? Of course this (...)

(...) I notice this in IE 6 on XP the other night. If you open only the picture in the browser, it automatically resizes the image to a smaller size. Even though the quality of the resize was fairly good, I wasn't a fan, and turned off this option (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I usually go for the 'low end', and size my pictures to around 640x480. If someone asks for a more detailed image of something, I'll either go full-size, or try to crop down to just what they want to see. I've got a 3.3megapixel camera, so if (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) What version of IE does this? If you click on an image while in a file view, it will load just the image (not in a web page). In every browser I have ever seen this causes the image to be shown actual size (with scroll bars if necessary). KL (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Good point. I've uploaded some whoppers in the past too, usually when I'm rushed. But I'd tend to say no more than screen size (1024x768 or maybe even 800x600 or even 640x480) unless you really WANT people to have to pan and scan to capture (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the pics! Are there any more pics of the sculpted areas of the layout. Can you give a description of the infrastructure you use to achieve the different levels.
