Your pic must be 100kb or smaller. Resize and try again. Also, sometimes a firewall will keep you from being able to upload. Temporarily disable your firewall and try again.Lastly, if I could see a pic, it might be similar to the one that was created for the upcoming (commercial) route project Gaetan Belanger and I have in the works.

RE: 7,000 cubic foot woodchip hoppers

Hello again Randy:As Gaetan has indicated, the new car Gaetan has finished will be part of the commercial route package "The A&O Subdivision". There are no promotional screens of the A&O Sub at the VSC website yet, but there are many, many A&O Sub progress shots at the VSC form, link below.Thanks for your interest.
