Dear MRHers, Hmmm, fan

Dear MRHers,

Hmmm, fan mounted high in the doorway. Rudimentary air-movement for human comfort, or subtle attempt at modelling "atmospherics"? (Given Mike's want to model the entire "feel" of the area, I wouldn't put attempting to model a cold "wind-chill" effect past him... ;-) )

Happy Modelling,
Aim to Improve,
Prof Klyzlr

Circulating fan.

Prof,

You'd be amazed at how much warm air that little fan moves! Note baseboard heat along front of room. This fan, and one other at the other end of the room basically take the heat that comes off that baseboard and distributes it throughout the entire railroad room, front to back.

In spring/summer/fall, dehumidifier comes back on, and the fan gets put away until winter.

That's a great way to show off the layout. Hope you can do more of them.

The eBook has 5 such panoramas in all, each from different vantage points around the 24 x 58 foot room. You really feel like you are there.

And that's just volume 1. Wait until you see what's in the other 3 volumes .... click here for more.

I just noticed that the links

I just noticed that the links to the "huge jpg" editions of the panoramas appear to be broken. At least in the portrait edition of the ebook. I didn't know any better place to report this so I put it here. It's been a great read so far though.

Cheers, Orvio

Bad panorama links

Wed, 2014-01-29 13:35 — joef

Thanks for pointing out the link problem... unfortunately, this is an Adobe "feature". The bad links have doubled-up http://'s at the front like this:

"http://http://somelink.jpg "

It would be trivial for the developers to look for the presence of an http:// in your pasted link string, but unfortunately, the Adobe programmers never thought to be that nice to us. They always add an http:// to the front of any links regardless.

And most browsers give you the link in the form of http://... when you copy it out of the URL. So what was Adobe thinking to always tack http:// on the front regardless?

So yes (sigh) ... this one bit us - again! Thanks to Adobe, it's an all-to-common "feature" of their software.

We will fix it and get an improved version out by the end of the day.
