When in Flickr try clicking on the 'share photo' icon (the arrow that appears to come out of the screen in the bottom  right corner).  Select "BB Code" and chose the image size (one of the Medium ones seems to work best) then copy and paste the link into the post to get this...

I always take a full H0/00 scale PW gang with about 20 figures along to every exhibition complete with various track tools etc. The idea is that if a point or a section of track fails and cannot be repaired the gang can be positioned on the layout.

However in the past 30 odd years they have been used only twice, firstly when Meanderbahn was new and the original H&M point switches failed and secondly when Pitztalbahn was new and we found we could not couple anything together on one curved siding.

But even so the gang are there ready to be placed into service at every exhibition just in case!
