Alan,

The Lighting in Image #5 is a Photographer's Best Friend.  Natural light at this angle creates a very warm and inviting environment when capturing images.  I am not sure what direction your windows are orientated, but the Golden Hour (1 Hour After Sunrise & 1 Hour Before Sunset) are typically the best times to try and capture images using available light.  The light is usually very warm, but at the same time soft.  Whereas if you were shooting outside at say Noon, the light is high, but very harsh = Yucky Sun.

The most important thing IMO when it comes to taking photos, is what captures your attention, and thus what you capture through the lens with your eyes, and what you are trying to convey with your images.  Having fun while doing what you love and enjoy makes doing it that much more enjoyable.  If your not having fun, then you need to move onto something else.

Thanks for sharing your images.  From an Architectural Shooters' perspective, your layout would be a Tilt-Shift Heaven.

Just beautiful. Any chance you can teach me how to build those spires? Ours doesn't look finished without them. 

Gorgeous! What depot is that? Judging by the depot, your layout must be fabulous.

James...thanks for the observations from the view of a professional photographer!!  I took the pictures at about 45 minutes or so after sunrise as the windows are a row of clerestories facing east.

Steve...thank you!  The spires actually come from some Castile building sets I have.  I just "borrowed" them from those sets and repainted...also using some of the decorative soffit blocks in the sets as well which fit perfectly on top of the roof tops as you see them.  I repainted the parts to match the trim plastic in the main kits...

Thank you Paul....the depot is not modeled after any particular prototype other than the kits were made by Disney and were models of their Main Street Station.  I combined 8 of those kits to come up with a big city station that I hope resembles what one would see in the late 19th or early 20th century architecturally...
