Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Hi Mitch, looking good and nice to know you have someone to help too. Don't say it will be finished.... don't even think it. Garden railways should always have the opportunity to add just a little bit more and as you progress new ideas will emerge. Keep us posted on developments.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Hello Folks., i have some news! I am Planning on Purchasing a Roundhouse Basic Series Sammie 0-4-0 tank loco with R/C Water Top up and Pressure Gauge Fitted instead of a roundhouse billy.
Me Cool Train and my friend Ray had a steam up on my tramway as well with Goblin Cool Trains Fineline Alfie and Rays Lilla and Silver lady,
I do have some Photos but i cant figure out how to resize them on snapseed without increasing the size of the image.
Hope you enjoy this Update.

Hi Mitch,
Great to hear your getting a new loco, :thumb right: I love my Billy though…..
Snapseed…
Open the app,
Click on the three Dots in the top right hand corner.
It will open another popup screen,
Click on Settings,
You will see a screen with two popup windows,
Click on the Image sizing, again another screen will popup, click on set to 800 px.
You will have no problem now with posting photos…..Hopefully….
Lots of popup’s

Re: The Cockatoo Creek Tramway
Well done Mitch, But they are slightly small. Can you try changing the setting to 1,366px and see how the look and more importantly, if they will load….If not you can always go back to 800px.
