We have had the Deltic up as the default loco for quite a while...

Note that you can change the default image at the top of the forum. The drop-down selection box on the bottom left of the page allows you to select the skins. As well as the Deltic, there is a Double-tender Flying Scotsman, a couple of EWS Diesels a Live Steam cutaway and a GMAM Garratt there to choose from.

Also note that you can select one of these skins for your blog, even if you leave the default skin of the forum as it is. Look at my Blog to see the graphic.

The Deltic is what visitors who have not selected a skin see when they visit or join up to the forum.

How about another default image for 2009?

Any suggestions? I need a nice image so please suggest something that has a suitable (profile) image somewhere - perhaps give a link to the image. We can run a quick poll once a few suggestions have been made.

Hiya Doug,

can we have a little industrial narrow gauge locomotive and maybe a few little wagons ??

Maybe you could put a coach up there like a maunsell and write model rail forum down the
side of it and have a likkle loco puling it like a terrier etc.....

or maybe a class 31 cause they are kewl

Please show some images.

I was also thinking of your Leader - not as the default image, but as an optional one. When we can get some prototype photos, we can try it out.

Hi Baykal can you tell me please how do you apply the download to "anything" I have downloaded the A4 but don't know how to apply to anything 'DOOH'

Many thanks & Kind regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

It probably works like if you are posting in a forum. Right click and go to properties then copy the url between the two
tabs, then it works, other then that I honestly do not know.

How about Tornado in its "Paint job du jour" ?

David

 

[bangerblueed]

It should be something appropriate to this year tornado would be suitable or something else that celebrates an anniversary such as something that was new in 1959 plenty of diesels to choose from perhaps a warship or peak ?

 

[upnick]

Hi Doug,

After a poll on images could we have a different one every month do you think ?

Paul you could save the download to your photobucket and post it here

My image would be the Big Boy

 

[madon37s]

Hi Nick thanks for your reply but I'm afraid I just can't seem to do it! I have downloaded the A4 but it will not go into my photobucket site. I really don't know what to do now!
Any help would be very appreciated.

Kind regards

Paul

 

[neil_s_wood]

What about the BR52, that's popular, well with some of us anyway.

Did you click on the IMG code to copy it here ? only thing i can think of is your trying to put the link to the download here if so they will be too large to post, you dont need to post the download just the picture.

 

[ebaykal]

Paul, the "download" section next to the loco's has nothing to do with what you intend to do. It's mere information about the loco in "notepad" format.
Try what Nick has explained.

...this is fun

Baykal

 

[madon37s]

Has that worked? There should be a picture above this text!!

Yes it has thank god for that!! Many thanks for your patience with me Nick and Baykal!

It is fun isn't it!

Kind regards

Paul

 

[Doug]

Totaly agree with the narrow gauge suggestion, as don't forget its not just standard gauge modelling
