Does this link work?

Hopefully if it does you get a map of Baton Rouge showing the intersections of KCS New Orleans Sub and CN/IC's Hammond Sub with the KCS yard and an industrial switching district.

I better get busy designing that train room for you.  Did you still want bedrooms and a kitchen too?

MRH had a post on it a couple of weeks back. I think it's a neat tool but I'm having trouble converting selected images to something I can save locally so I wanted to see if the link works.

GreenShot is a great free tool for screenshots/ image capture for inserting into other documents, printing out or saving in multiple formats.

Good to know - however the test was posted from work and our admins seem to like to control what we install and what we don't.

I found about it at work, its was on our approved software list, so you may want to check yours. I use it all the time to help make tutorials and other procedural documents. However, you can right click on your map and save the image as a PNG file which can be opened in Paint, Powerpoint or most any other graphic program. Pretty neat site btw.
