Free images to use however you like

This web page should also be considered as a work-in-progress. I'll add more images as I create them.

The images below are free to use (public domain) but I am quite happy if you:

credit me,
send me a note about where you've used them,
let me know what you think of them,
tell me any problems with using them,
volunteer to come round and weed the lawn,
or just be thankfull I don't demand anything for them.

The images were all created using a Linux-based PC and the program GIMP.

Railway tunnel model.

This can be printed on card, cut out and assembled as a tunnel front.

If printed to fit a sheet of A4, it will be around the HO guage scale.

Sections B and C are alternatives for the laft and right sides.
Sections D and E can be used to line the left and right of the inside of the tunnel.

It is based on the Staple Bend Tunnel near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA.
