Hi Helmut.
I presume that you are using Windows-10 ?
An update by Microsoft to Windows-10 around 1st January 2017 has been an issue.
Try this ...
- - - - - - -
Go to your Freerails Gallery
In your Gallery window click on the photo you want to Post
The photo will then be enlarged on your screen
Now ... Right-Click ... a drop down menu will appear
From this drop down menu ... click on 'COPY IMAGE'
Now ... go to the Freerails Reply Window open in another tab
Place your cursor where you want your photo to appear
Then you need to Right-Click again ... another drop down menu will appear
From this drop down menu ... click on 'PASTE IMAGE'
The photo you want to Post from your Gallery should now be in the Reply Window.
Simply repeat the above sequence to add more photos to your Post
- - - - - - -
It seems that an update by Microsoft to Windows-10 ...
... has meant that the previous method of clicking on a Thumbnail ...
... having pressed the 'G' button in the Reply Window ...
... is no longer possible for Windows-10 users.
Si.

Hi Helmut and Si.
That shingles you are talking about is it the same as slate rock the British use for roofing ?
Nice indeed what you have achieved can you print larger bricks.
On our roofing we have roof tiles, the roof framing has to be built to take the weight.
Nice work on the walk way, what is the building you are modelling used for ?
How was your Easter head to the coast for the four days.
I spent a couple of days working on the layout getting closer to the big day.
Pics to follow after todays effort.

Hi Helmut.
Bingo !
What Si. just said does work and you now can post more than one photo.
Go to the new thread in Photo posting.
I did a test run hands up to Si. 
Keep the great work up.
What scale are you modelling ?

@Tony M
The building is a grain elevator in TT ( 1:120 ) scale.
Re tiles - the plain concrete tiles are easy to model.
To scribe and cut, the Curio has two toolheads that can be assigned to different line colours.
So you can use a scribing tool where there must be seams etc., and the cutter to cut out the whole array.
Clay tiles are sometimes different, fishscale is easy, but grooved pantiles need strings of yarn glued in parallel on the roof-face first,
and cutouts in thin paper that adapt to the contour.
Large bricks are no problem with the abilities of the software that comes with each Silhouette model.

Use a lacquer as Helmut suggests.
Any solvent based resin where the carrier evaporates leaving an impregnated resin in the cardboard works almost indefinitely in my experience.
I usually use shellac in methyl alcohol
For me, lacquer causes far less paper warping than shellac does.
I use Minwax clear brushing lacquer, usually gloss since it seems to give a harder finish and makes it easier to see coverage.
For shellac it is Zinsser clear.
Both in quart cans.
I know from the 1:1 scale wooden boat crowd,
that dry shellac resin flakes can be bought in bulk and mixed to desired thickness from watery to pasty.

Hi Helmut.
Grain elevator makes a very nice scene indeed and lots of shunting fun.
I have set of plans for a HO scale of a modern grain elevator.
Will have a go in building it, they are constructed out of concrete, easier to model.

Why stick to paper ?
With the curio you can cut styrene.
These parts are 0.5mm
Works for me.

Getting ready to tend to seriously ill wife, who is coming home from hospital, so I have fallen behind with FreeRails-
Is the wall brick a commercial product?
I don't see how I could make something like that (different height [of protrusion] bricks) with my Curio.
