Photo inspiration
The backdrop has finally been desided and painted
So you think you can't paint a backdrop it took me 8 tries and lots of YouTube videos to learn the techniques to paint what I needed. Also lots of photos of the Colorado Front Range, I got to spent a lot of time there in the last few months. But here you go a few pictures of my efforts. This is over 12 feet long only 278 more feet to go but I got this done in 2 day at very relaxed pace not much more then 6 hours of work the rest was drying time. 7 photos and a sample of the fore ground work to follow soon.

Utility Poles for the LTTX flatcar
I just received my shipment of "utility poles" for my LTTX flatcars and they are looking great.
These are custom made to exactly represent 85' and 65' utility poles. They are perfectly tapered and the correct diameter.

Photo hosting
So, while going back through all those posts from 2008, I have realized that I had referenced my photo galleries on my personal web server a lot back then.
I've still got the photos, but the server is long crashed and gone. And frankly, I'm not that enthusiastic about hosting the now unsupported Gallery software again, as it's not the first time I've had a server die from out under me.
So, what photo hosting solutions does everyone else use or suggest?
I do have a couple of requirements:

JR&L Railroad blog
After reading and admiring all of the works of layouts, structure builds and rolling stock (in the back ground) I have finally decided to start some projects. I am starting a scratch bash project with a walthers round house. Some of the things I plan on doing include:
Full interior detail with lighting
Exterior lights
True wood beams
Upgrading the doors to central valley model works shop door (I really want them to work)
Weathering
Stone foundation (I was thinking that the outer edge would be a little lower then the track side)
