The code tells your browser how wide to display the picture.

id is the number of the attachment to insert
msg is the number of the message the attachment belongs to.
These 2 items together tell the software what image to place into your post.
In this case, attachment no 1 from message 1157

Actually the room is 62x15' with more to the right through the far door. There is also a room on the far end left side that houses my sump pumps, my RR workshop, and my staging area. The rooms on to the right of the picture will have more layout, then the mechanical room with a track going along the wall, then my exercise/electrical room, and a pass-though to another yard which will be where I was standing to take the picture.
I was wondering about the (MSG) code =24 at the end of the instruction line. The way I interpret the codes, is that the (width) adjusts the width of the image. Or did I misinterpret that?
I have to leave, will be back this evening.

BTW, I'm the minion, but I have a couple of friends that have also helped me when I need them. I'll do more pics tonight or tomorrow when I get time.

That is going to be a huge layout Joe. Have you drawn it out yet?
I drew out the outline, the towns, and the general proportions. I didn't have the buildings yet when I drew it out, so I wasn't sure which buildings I would have to kitbash and didn't have the dimensions, so I basically winged it. I put down a circle of track so I could break in my engines and test them after module installations. But that is only temporary. I have now started laying permanent trackage and just put up the viewblock down the middle of the island. I have a long way to go, but I make progress every day.

You are correct, the width parameter sets the width to use to display your image, measured in pixels.
Height is automatically calculated based on the given width.
The msg=24 code is what the software uses to correlate your picture to your post.
In the case of your original post here, the msg number is 1157.
24 is the number of the "how to post an image" tutorial.
In this link you will see the msg number in use: http://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php?topic=210.msg1157#msg1157
And this one links to the tutorial: http://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php?topic=11.msg24#msg24

Joseph, Have you considered blogging about your construction on MRH?
Hi Bill, I've never done a blog, so I hadn't given any thought to starting one. That's something I'll have to think about. My computer time is limited as I spend most of my free time in the basement working on various phases of my layout. I may do one, but it won't be in the near future.

About your LED's: if you run a power bus for the LED's and supply power at both ends of each strip, or better yet, at the 1/4 and 3/4 points, the dimming along the length problem will be fixed.
Having a Blog on MRH is as simple as doing what you are doing here now - except it will be read and appreciated by a wider audience.

These lights are powered by a 12V DC transformer that plugs into one end with a male/female connector. Each 16' strip has one transformer. I originally thought I could power 3 strips with one transformer, but that idea was a miserable failure. I can live with the lighting, it's not as noticeable in person.
I may eventually make a blog, but like I said that's a future project. I had a friend of mine come up today and help me build a paint booth. I need to go down there now and finish up a few things on it so we can hang it tomorrow.
Take care,
Joe

My strips are powered at just one end like yours and I cannot see any dimming effect along their length. Just to cover my bases I mounted the strips connection-to-connection. That way if there is a brightness difference that I can't see but someone else might then it would be masked by not having a bright end butted against a dim end. Here is what I mean by that:
(http://www.lkorailroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/100_5316.jpg)
My strips are all powered by a single 40A supply with 12ga bus to the strips. The connection to the bus is shown in the photo.
Bills comment about feeding power from both ends is a good suggestion. The dimming is caused by the resistance of the foil trace on the strip, not because of the resistors.

The larger higher clouds are closer, the other clouds are farther away at varying distances, but at basically the same height, with the smaller clouds being the farthest from the viewer. At least that was my plan.
