Are you happy with that one?
It kind of reminds me of a steam engine on carriage wheels, so I thought it might be up your alley. Or siding? Lol.

Yes. It works fine. I did want to add one of my own pictures but all I can do is crop them. They don't look good after they are cropped.

It needs to be 20 pixels less in width. Almost fits.

Phew!
I had the length and width mixed up for the others.
160 H x 130 W, but you can't really flip that photo on its side for a portrait, can you?
Just makes it a bit smaller overall.

I was thinking... My view on a style I like is a bit like Steampunk but different. Contrasts of colours blended into a model railway which the frame and parts of the structure of the layout can be semi steam punk style...
I can flip pictures but thwn the train will be the wrong way up! :D

What scale are you using?

Kind of... But... Well... I am taking colour contrast ideas from this... My favourite music video for many reasons.

The controller panel is painted in gold but after the paint dried, fingerprints show up where it became a coppery colour. It looks very steampunk. The sleepers for the track are all copper as they were cut from PCB and soldered on to nickel silver rails, which tend to be a type of goldy brass colour.... I am mixing the scene by painting in greys and greens, and the locos and coaches will be in bright colours, but waggons and vans will be in dull colours.
