It's really easy. You know that small square in the upper right hand side that indicates images? Go there, and click on that, and enter your URL. Now, I'm not sure if that's the correct way to do it or not, as I have not yet tried this.

When I was a kid, this place was the biggest, and it was in Pennsylvania, not Germany:

The guy who built it was famous because he'd made computer strategy games like The Perfect General and The Lost Admiral, and Computer Gaming World did a feature on him and his hobbies including the model railroad (he also had a restored Wurlitzer organ, if I recall correctly)
 
These are called Griswold signals, and they're very rare, and there aren't many of these left:

These signals were made in the 1920's and 1930's. Some are still standing today.
 
This here is the base of a WCH gate guard. Now, WCH gates are the heaviest of any crossing gates, and can take a beating from a vehicle. See the spring? That allows the gate to snap back in place without breaking. That's how thick they are.

No, it's a little train, this train is known for the locomotive chase during the American Civil War when Unions stole the Confederate train in deep South in the middle of Georgia and the Confederate conductor gave chase and finally caught up near the Tennessee border.
