Jason Capra's Wheeling & Lake Erie, starting on page 38. An excellent example of what can be done with the right attitude.

Texas Pete and Alan,
You are both right on the money. When his images came in the office I was blown away by the creative detail he demonstrated.
Jason really captured the environment he wanted to portray.
Gives a certain tin-plater second thoughts about the new layout he is building

Jason's Capra's layout is fantastic - incredible detail and nicely balanced. I love it. It's a good issue overall, too. I was very interested in the review of the WBB loco - wanted to read about their new upgraded sound and how well it worked. And I really enjoyed John Rapacz's article, Little Things, particularly his trick with old paint brushes on page 52 - a really clever trick I will use soon: I have a dozen or more old chip brushes that will be perfect for it!
Yep; wish that I could control myself. I often wind up admiring the layouts that are
more clever and less elaborate.
I had a lot of fun working up the cover shot for this issue.
Here's the original picture. It's a little tilted and has no background.
Add a little Photoshop magic, a little cropping, straighten it up and add a sky shot background I took down in South Carolina somewhere and you get this:
Digital imagery...it's a wonderful thing.

Impressive photo work, nice bridge too.

I agree. That's a swell bridge. The article states that the bridges are by Atlas.
