You'll find the file as scrgrbx.pcx = x being a number, in the main Train Simulator folder. Take this file and run it through an image converter to turn it into .jpg format and make it under 100k by making the size 640x480 or under. If you need a simple format conversion program, try Polyview at www.polybytes.com because its a great, small freeware format converter. After making it 100k or less and in .jpg format, post a message and click "Click here to choose your file". Specify what format the file is (.jpg) and browse to it on your computer. When you're done, click "Upload it" and it will be an attachment when you post :-)

1) start in MSTS your favorite route & consist or activity,
2) when you see something you wish to keep,
3) Press "Prt Scr", do this as many times as you wish.
4) After stopping the game & going back to your desktop,
5) go to your main MSTS folder, there you will find files with the scrgrb*.pcx name, those you can view with your image viewer
reminder!,you need to move them from there,
(make a folder somewhere named MSTS images or something alike, and cut/paste them there)
because the nexttime, you do a prt-scr session in MSTS will overwrite these !
6) download a freeware image-view program named irfanview. http://www.irfanview.com/english.htm
7) download here in the Train-sim.com library, tut-irfan.zip,
which will show you all the many things you can do with irfanview, like converting multiple images from pcx to jpg or resizing and much more..
Have fun ! Henk.
