My Blog is Fixed

Seems a lot of Bloggers don't like the forced 'lightbox' picture/photo view - and I can't blame them - it sux!

Thanks to some good support from other Bloggers, I have changed the HTML Template so you can all enjoy my photos at 'normal' size once again!

If you want to get rid of the lightbox view, try the link below - it worked for me.

Now,  back to Blogging!

Photo Short Term Fix

With thanks to Brendo for an idea to view photos at original posted size.

When viewing the Blog, if you wish to view a photo full size, right click the photo and then 'Open in new tab', and this will open the photo in the original size. 

Do not left click and then right click as it will open the photo viewing software.

Cheers

Photo Viewing Changes

Thanks to Blogger, they have created a totally unacceptable lightbox viewing style for photos. 

With any luck they will listen to all the negative feedback about this forced Blogspot change, and remove the lightbox view or at least make it an option.

Sorry, but I'll be back posting once they do something about it.

Cheers

Unique Newcastle Opens

A few favourites sighted during my seemingly endless journeys to Newcastle, but I can't complain about the chance to go snapping!  All four photos are taken at Morandoo and are of RKCX or RKCY type opens whiuch have the centre section removed for loading or unloading with a large forklift (as I recall in Brisbane).

RKCX 4004 on 06/09/2011 - shame RRLX 66 got in the way! 

One of only two RKCY wagons, 20534, photoed on 06/09/2011. 

A week later on 13/09/2011 found RKCX 4 complete with sliced VLine logo board. 

The other RKCY, 20282 on 10/09/2011 also.
