The term "roof walk" used to make Richard Hendrickson's eye twitch.

I noticed two terms for freight car parts in Mr. Trandel's presentation are in conflict with terms I usually see used on this group.

The author used "roof walk" for "running board" and "stirrup step" for "sill step".

Which terms are preferred/correct?

Folks,


SERIOUSLY? What Bill has been looking at is a .pdf file.  

http://www.foxvalleydivision.org/fvd2016/imagesfvd2016/clinicdata/Mid-Century%20Boxcars%20V2.pdf


It was not an "attachment" (as stated by Bill) and it is not a protected image. What was included in the original email was a LINK to a PDF of a presentation. By far, the simplest thing for Bill to do is to click on the link and download the entire PDF. On my Mac, all you do is hover over the open PDF and a button bar appears that includes a download icon.


Once that file is downloaded, you may be able to extract the image (if you have the full version of Acrobat) or you may have to use some of the screen shot tricks that others have discussed... but it isn't "protected" and it isn't very hard to do...


Of course, you could also be polite and email the author of the presentation that you are pulling photos out of and ask for a copy of the photo 😉. A little hunting at the parent web site shows that would be a Mr. George Trandel, who presented this clinic in February of 2018.

Macs don’t have a print screen, but the same general rules apply:

To capture the entire screen display, press CMD+SHIFT+3 together.

To capture a specific part of the screen, press CMD+SHIFT+4 together, then use the mouse to select what you want.

The screenshot JPG will appear on your desktop, and can be edited with any number of programs

 

 

Thanks!

every PC keyboard I've used has a "print screen" button! the screen is copied to
the "clipboard". then I open photoshop, create a new file from the clipboard, and
trim the picture to suit my need. easy peasy.

with Firefox, to steal a web site image file (not just a snapshot of the screen)
you choose TOOLS->PAGE INFO->MEDIA. then scroll through the image files (including
the "copy protected" ones the web sites lie to their customers and tell them the
files are safe) and save the ones you want to your hard drive. also easy peasy.

on Androids just click on a "volume" control button and the "power" button together
and wait for the "camera click". the screen is now saved to your files.

the rule is: if you can SEE it, then you can download it.

If you had a Mac, all you would have to do is click 3 buttons and hold down the mouse and drag over the image you wish to capture. I do this constantly and would hate to give up this feature. I would suggest that you search for a "Screen Capture" and download into your computer. This is also helpful for sites which don't allow the even easier "Drag & Drop", but that is another Mac item.

 

Tim O'Connor has stated for years that nothing can't be captured from a computer. Just a little harder for a windows system. Perhaps he will share the technique.

On most PC keyboards you will see a button marked "print screen". (Sometimes it may be a shift or control function key - you may have to play around with it)

Pressing tg his button takes a snapshot of whatever image is on your monitor at that moment.

If you then open the "Paint" application (in windows accessories) you can the paste the screen captures and edit out whatever you don't want.   Then save the image.

Or, you can try finding the original post in the MESSAGES section; the photo should still be attached to it.

It is for this reason that when I see a photo of interest here, I try to grab it ASAP.

Bill et al,

There are two versions of the Tamiya Extra Thin!

One with the darker green label is thick enough / slow enough to be able to brush it on and then position the parts.

The other with the lighter green label and the words “Quick Setting” evaporates almost immediately and is designed to be flowed into gaps via capillary action.

Thanks to Dave's advise I was able to go back through Messages and found the original under Mid-Century Box Cars V2 (1) pdf.  It has the photo of D&H car #17432  Reweigh CI 5-31.

Thanks to Brian's response I was able to determine that not all cars in this series received Viking roofs.  17432 apparently does not have the Viking roof.  Now more work for me..

Also now how do I extract the photo.

Thanks all:

Bill Pardie

I had really wondered about those very odd-looking commuter cars with their tiny windows, but hesitated to ask since they are off-topic.
