Well anywhoo,
It should still have the theme of narrow guage logging and mining to it, and I am thinking of adding trestles as well, that span a river. Mountains will be located in the back, and there will be lush forests!

Sorry chris...I thought the switch to notepad thing was how it was done.
Not an x-trac guy......maybe another member can help out?

Thats fine Dave. There is no rush to get it on there. Have to get out to the hardware store for nails, for the track. Figured I should just nail instead of glue:D I am really just trying to do this so I can see what I can do with a diorama, then I will know I can build a layout :D

Chris i think you need a file format program to change format to a jpg. you might try irfanview but i am not sure that it will work as i dont use xtrac either.
the program is free however and easy to use for sizing photos and changing bmp to jpg's so you might try it, cant hurt

Chris,
If your plan is in xtrakcad, you can use the "print to bitmap" under the file menu.
You then should save this bmp file as a jpg or gif (this will make the file size smaller).
Hope this helps....

As long as you are at it, put the track center at 6" in from the front edge of the diorama. Then, go for it! You should be able to hook up to any other modules that way.
