WOW, great shot. You could almost fool some folks into thinking that's a 1:1 scale subject!

If you re-took that with a solid black background (to remove the shelves way in the back of the room), you could submit that to almost any magazine (of course, OGR first)...

Well thank you. The shelf you're seeing is actually the high line before I got the retaining wall in front. There are some shelves in the very far left which also could be seen a little bit. I'm eventually going to get rid of them too. I'm now building the Plastruct chem plant with added stuff and it too will all be lit by LEDs lamps. I've been manufacturing my own lights using light heads that I'm resin casting with 2mm warm white LEDs.

  two passenger trains passing in the dark.....

it's been two years since I constructed the new layout, and still need to get the buildings and street lamps wired, until then I use a some low overhead lights for "night time" running.

No TMCC in this version. This is the original City of Denver streamliner set. #299W, c1936-39. Among the early diesel streamliner sets that had the unique feature of an air whistle–completely incorrect, but they're toys right? I got this set at a show to fix up as "runner" as I had a near unrun version sitting on a display shelf, but after I took my time cleaning and bringing back to life, I discovered I liked it better than the "shelf queen" which I then sold off.

If you're into running modern stuff, I think Lionel, or perhaps MTH/Lionel, produced a version in the last 10 years with TMCC and all of that.

I do like those streamliners!

Just took these shots with my cell. I put a flashlight inside the structure to see what effects I could get. It turned out decent, and I'm going to experiment more with this.

 Some like new, some like old.

 NIB is O.K., but I like an Electric's Funeral 

Batman, Superman, Spiderman...No Ironman?
