Let me know when you folks get sick of this project . . .
Spent some time in between projects doing some updating and finishing a big project.
The new masthead is only installed on the home page, and also on the page titled “The Trains”.
In addition, I finished the first of the Building “Articles” on the Lionel Factory. Definately the biggest one.
By finishing this first one, I now have the framework for all of the other articles, as well as for the pages in the “Structures” section. This should go much quicker than this first one took.
Go to the home page at www.lionellines.net and click on the “Lionel Factory Project” button along the bottom for a preview:
I will be building pages like this for all of the building projects I have completed thus far, as well as the ones I will build through to the end of layout construction.
Click on either of the first two graphic panels at the bottom to go to pages with step by step photos on building a large building backdrop, or creating cliffisde effects with ceiling tiles.
This graphic appears at the bottom of the home page:
i was wondering what kind of lights were used on the lionel building. i want to add lights to my buildings but am not sure how to, like what kind and if thier sockets or what not. Beautiful work though.
Have posted some additional enhancements. All of the main pages have now been switched over to fthe new design, some new layouts in the various mastheads and the links page is now done. I tried to keep the links to the resources I used, as well as links to layouts that aren’t the same ones over and over again. The layout kinks are many of my favorites.
started on “The Trains” pages of my site and have uploaded one sample page on tank cars.
I’m also pitching a fit over the fact that I have to write these pages in such vanilla fashion because of the bullshit lawsuits over copyrighted material. After writing a first draft I came to the concluon that much of the information I included came from either Greenbergs or David Doyles books, or the postwarlionel site. So I had to do a lot of editing, since Ambrose is now suing David Doyle.
In any event, you can see the beginnings of this by going to http://www.lionellines.net/ and clicking on “The Trains” in the button bar. In the lower corner there is a list of train categoies - click on Tank Cars to be taken to the sample page.
I am going to rephotograph the individual cars in better light, this is just a start.
