The links appear for me as broken. When I click, it downloads a .TIF to my machine. That may be the issue; the Groups.io page trying to handle a .TIF instead of .JPG. Maybe convert them and re-attach?

Oddly, this photo is heavily doctored. Note the trees have been painted to the left side, and below the covered hopper.

More C&O MW Cars
Is it just me or can anyone else not see the attached images? Recently a few seemingly random messages have had images attached that I cannot see, but replies that indicate the contrary. Just curious.

Hindsight 20/20 clarification
Appears that perhaps it's sold out? Showing as "out of stock" for me. Would also be interested in a recording if possible.
