OK folks we've now reached the required total!

Thanks again everyone.

I'm not very well at the moment, so if I'm slow replying to anyone, my apologies.

Tom

This has been posted elsewhere so I'll duplicate it here - Avalon Lines Models & Black Dog Mining Howard Martin has taken over all the packing and sales activities for Avalon Lines Models, Black Dog Mining and Sidelines GN15 scale models and parts. Anyone wishing to order any items from Avalon M...

OK I paid the bill last week, so we are here for another year.

So far donations have totaled $187 of the $215 we need to raise so we are nearly there.

Thanks to all that have contributed so far

Yes any contribution is welcome - however much you can afford.

Currency is unimportant too, It's no problem if you send in Pounds, $ or Euros.

Thanks to everyone who's contributed so far, we are about 40% of the way there already

It the time of year again where we need pay for the bill to host the forum. It's $215.46 and due in about a week - but don't panic, I'll pay for the moment. As usual send paypal donations to donations@gn15.info It's good to see we have a few new people interested in the forum - I prefer this format ...

Yes, sorry I was a bit slow - as I was telling Paul, I've had a series of minor accidents over the last few months, nothing serious, but enough to put me behind with other jobs, which has meant in turn the forum has got rather neglected. I need to bring the forum software up to date, hopefully that ...

Here is a website that tells you how to calculate what will go round what curves - designed for model engineers, but same principles apply

http://www.smex.net.au/reference/MinRadius02.php

Probably far too technical for most of us !

If it's the line I think it is it was originally overhead electric with little O&K locos.

I may have some photos somewhere.

Oops I missed these - is anyone still having problems ?

Tom

Couplings are usually the limiting factor - it's the sideplay on these that limits the curve you can get round.

Sideplay is made worse the further the ends of the vehicle are from the wheels, so that is a factor too.

Tom

I have to say, the quality of these new prints is better than the ones I managed on my home printer !

No, not a good idea to leave your car there

Good News - I think I worked out a technique to recover the Photos we have lost through Photobucket. Bad news - it's fairly labour intensive as it has to be done manually. It takes me about 1 hour to fix a page full. We may only have limited time too as Photobucket may block this. So two questions H...

I'm busy with other things today but It appears the problem is because you have used https for the photos address and not just http. Not sure if the photo package is giving out the address as https - it shouldn't as I haven't bought a certificate for Gn15.info( we don't do money transactions that wo...

OK it should be fixed and working again - it was another old test forum on the site had been taken over and used by spammers/bots.

Gurrr!

Bandwidth problems on my test server - it's only got a small allowance.

I'm still surprised it exceeded it - will check what is happening with it .

Tom

I've manually activated you David, emails seem to go missing sometimes.

OK i've adjusted the server settings so it now works here ! It's now up and live at https://gn15.info/photo You will need to set up a separate login there as it does not link with the forum software. I'm trying the free version for now, but if we have problems may need to change to a paying version ...

This is a test installation of some software I'm looking at http://tbmod.com/g8

Would welcome any comments

user id = test

Password = test99

This version is free, but for some reason I can't get it to work on Gn15.info - there is a paying version which I am assured will work.

My.gn15 uses The old forum user/password database as it's not compatible with the new forum software. So it 's frozen in time - OK for existing users, but there is no way to add new ones or change old ones.

This is why I am looking at new photo hosting software.

Tom

Following on from that, I have been thinking about adding a replacement for my.gn15.info as the forum software stores photos in a way incompatible with some other forums - in particular the software used by RMWeb and NGRM-Online. I've been unable to find any free software that i'm happy has all the ...

i'm quite happy for people to use Gn15.info to host picture and use them elsewhere - but yes it does increase bandwidth usage and one day might mean we have to pay more to support and host the forum. Two things - firstly that day is a long way away yet and secondly, as long as the pictures are reaso...

No problem using it - apart from one month we are only using about 2% of available bandwidth.

But there are no new id's or password changes allowed so it's deprecated.

Is probably better to add as attachment, but this may not allow you to share to other sites if you also do that.
