This is a trial post to see if I can up load some photo's of my collection that I'd like to share with everyone.
At present my collection is all boxed away since we moved a couple of years back.
We are currently doing some renovations and my collection has had to move in to storage. Over the Christmas brake I hope to pull it all out and sort it out. I'll photograph it so I can see what I have.

If you resize your images to 600 pixels before uploading they are then a perfect size for viewing.

Hi Matchboxkiwi.

The picture you have posted above is around 1.5 Mb file size, so when posted onto the forum it takes up a lot of space and is cropped to the exstent we can not see all of it, this is not your fault, it is just the way the technical side of the forum works.

I have saved your picture and opened it in my 'Paint' program (Factory installed on most computers), then reduced it's size down to 15%, saved this new size and re-posted to here so you can see the difference.

At least I can get the photo's on to the forum now but I can't find anywhere to re size them. I think someone suggested that they used a setting on the camera when taking the photo's so I might see if I can do that with my new photo's. This one is of an old display before we moved.

Cheers, Steve

Try to use 'Paint' editing software which will likely already be preloaded on your computer. If you use your mobile phone to take shots then get an app called 'Photo resizer' to resize the images on your phone ready for up loading. I have resized your images5 on my phone. It took less than 30 seconds

What a fabulous multi-range collection Steve, covering a lot of the product lines made by Lesney. Did not see any 'Models of Yesteryear', not your thing perhaps!
