It's held in temporary storage until you tell your computer where to put it. You may be able to put it onto any graphics program you have. For instance, I just took a screen shot of what I'm typing and opened Paint Shop Pro 7, right clicked on the screen and chose "Paste as new image". Heck, you can open Notepad and right click and "paste' even. I have to edit and pastes I do as I have 3 screens and all 3 are copied and pasted.
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....

This will be a collectors train. Train Enthusiasts know that Milwaukee Road is not in operation. It is like having an old coin from the past. :mrgreen:

Was sorta tired of working on the Milwaukee engine so I made Ilinois Central 9269. It took exactly 1 hour to make this :lol: . Tell me if it works.

I have a load of pics and files, including the IC symbol for the nose. I redid the symbol, but this Engine has the light in the nose.

I also got to upload some photos and files. There is some white trim on the engines. If you don't want to go that far, just let me know and I'll do it.

There are also some pics of engineers and firemen which might look neat in the engines. :wink:

I'll test the engine working on a map. I didn't see the text file til just now.

Do need to rename the files tho...... :P

Details, details, details........ besides, isn't that the way the real railroads do it?? I do believe they call it a merger....

That will get taken care of when the BBs are put up.

Checking out some tracks near me and found this 'little' baby.

Ran home and got my camera to get some shots for you.
