@Dave Ripp. posted:Montgomery right off of Route 30. Burlington junction works a yard at Webster and Route 25 and the businesses up Accutt Rd. Lots of viewing area but you can't get as close as you could a few years back,.
Thanks Dave. I thought you lived near St. Louis.
For today: " Brake time ... Clem sits on the front bumper sipping a Dr. Pepper as Ottis stands beside his truck and thinks about the size fish he would like to catch tomorrow while out on the lake." 
I took these in Marion Illinois.
Dave , did you use the right size ballast on your Marion rails ? 😉
Pat , looking at " brake time " like your other scenes has affected my visual receptors...............whenever I'm out and about viewing the " real " world , I get the impression that something doesn't quite look right 😉
Great photos everyone! It sure is nice to see what's going on in the rest of the country! My Brother in law lives in Joplin, Mo and is a police officer somewhere out there! LOL
I hope everyone is staying safe and enjoying there train time!
For today: " Action at the station."

Nice scene, Ted...sharp looking Ford convertible, and the reflection of the red light on the hood adds to the detail! Some interesting characters down by the tracks...
Still cleaning up the scene...
"Heading to the Big Rock Candy Mountain " my group of hobos spending their last night on the edge of town before going to the sacred mountains. A little night scene on the layout. I just installed the flaming lights in the barrel. Nick T.
Ted, great red light district! As Paul stated you sure spent some time buffing out that ford!
Paul, I know its going to take a while to clean up the scene. I would think there will be some kind of investigation!
Nick, wonderful HOBO camp! The fire looks to be nice and warm!
For today: "MOW train and crew."

Jvega2, would you mind sharing how you got that black background? Really makes the loco pop'.. Very cool...
@Quarter Gauger 48 posted:
Thank You! I used a Black 50" X 60" polyester fleece throw hung and draped over a table to create a seamless background plus studio lighting which really makes the loco pop, and some post editing. The black fleece material really absorbs a lot of the light.

Just gets better and better all the time Pat.
I like your work with the camera. Great angle.

I want to visit that town! It reminds me of when I would drive through southern Ohio to visit my Mom.
Great modeling and the perfect picture angle to capture the all that goodness! Ted, you do amazing work.

Was just a lucky shot'.. as I walked around the layout taking pictures so I could see what needed work, and an overall look. As the camera doesn't miss anything and the naked eye does...
I find when I plan out taking photos, they don't come out as good as the no planning ones...😁 Thanks very much for the very positive comments'... It is very much appreciated'...

Nice action shot Ron
I finally got a back drop on the other side of the layout now for some new pics.
@Dallas Joseph posted:Nice Lee.
A video of these would really be great. 🤓
I shot most of them out of an open window as I paced these trains up a steep hill, alone. Video wouldn't have worked under those conditions, sadly.

Some realistic scenery work above, Ted...looks like when you're not restoring cars for the layout, you're creating small town America on the layout! Great work
A little late night station activity...last train pulling out...
