A very good point Pete! A lot of the users do not have the space to post to or in (I suspect) lots of cases the knowledge to get the files to the server. Posting as an attachment is a no brainer! I guess my willingness to put up with download time for the enjoyment of seeing others pictures is

Trent, I respectively disagree. Small Scale Live Steam is a great list and resource, but lacks one thing; the ability to post directly in email messages. I for one like that feature. If for no other reason than that, this is a good list to have as well as ssls. just my humble opinion. Chuck

Has anyone installed Kadee's on the pilot of the Roundhouse SR&RL? (I am assuming 831 on the tender.) If so, which ones and what modifications had to be made? Thanks in advance everyone. Happy Holidays! Chuck Walters http://home.twcny.rr.com/cnylsrs
