Re: Car ID just for fun

Rob,

I didn't try to download. Instead I took screen shots using Mac's "Grab" tool in the "selection" mode. Using the tools on Trainlife's site, I first rotated the images 90 degrees to get a complete selection of the whole page. Grab only takes shots at 72 dpi, which is pretty grainy. I was only doing RMJ articles, which themselves are already grainy, but the results are better than nothing and I only did three or four missing articles.

Yours Aye,

Is it possible to download the magazines from the Trainlife site? I've not been successful in trying to do so.

Tim,

I see what you mean. I wonder if you have to be signed up as a member to have it work. I'm not, and I don't like signing in to sites for security reasons. In any case, I used the site extensively last month to fill in some multi-volume articles where I had not saved one of the numbers which I was scanning from paper. Glad I acted when I did.

Yours Aye,

Garth, it's the actual magazine pages that fail with an error code. Maybe it works for some people.
The world wide web is becoming increasingly fractured.
