I think they're trams, presumably on converging tracks.

The pictures you link to are not stored on the forum website.

The pictures are retrieved from the hosting website when you view the post.

So as far as I know, an IMG tag takes up no more space than a URL tag on the server hosting the forum.

If you do an IMG tag and the hosting website does not have the picture any more, you can't view it as it is not stored with the forum software.

OMG - what a waste :( Reminds me of the day the lorry full of sweets fell over on the Oakham Road. I was a kid, so I would rather it was sweets. :grin:

One of my favorite programs is Air Crash Investigation.

They investigate the cause of plane crashes and the forensic science is fascinating.

One episiode I remember is a Boeing 737 that was not going to make it to the airport and needed an emergency place to land.

They were diverted to an abandoned air force base that had a runway long enough.

So they come in to land and the airpot was not as abandoned as everybory thought.

A local car club had purchased it and turned the runway into a drag strip.

As the plane is coming in to land there are kids riding their bicycles in the middle of the runway and dozend of families near the end of it with thier cars all having a B.B.Q picnic.

The kids look up and see this ginat plane about to squish them and pedaled like crazy to try and outrun it.

Luckily they managed to pull up the place a lot shorter than normal otherwise they would have wiped out the kids and the picnicers!
