That's my secret way of finding out who's using a very low resolution... When you place an offsite image inline that is lager that the available space it will appear to be cutoff but in fact it's just gone under the panel to the right. This prevents the layout from being broken. One of the things on the to do list ,might look at that now.

that's sweet!!!

hmmmm..... care to enlighten me as to what this bigger project is. i'm guessing your not laying 7 mi of track to the mine so you're probably laying track around your property for your own private railroad??
