TRAIN THEME THURSDAY : close up shots around the layout......

OHHHHH  NOOOOOO....

Night shift...

Beautiful stuff guys really enjoy these threads. 

I swear this is color, not a "left over"  the editor did something funny with the exposure and the brass and gold went bright yellow or white, green went black, while blue and some black went florescent green. 

Ok, now pan down and give me a close up on the hero..

...and CUT!....... ..

Photobombed by a giraffee.....?

Mitch's fault! I'bet anything "Forty screws" is behind this.

Here we go with some close ups from around Patsburg and the Free State Junction Railway.

Taking the local home today.

A little touch of fall.   Azgary

Nice! Good weathering.

I had one of these in HO back in the day (heck, I bet almost everyone did. It was practically issued to you if you had any type of layout). My RR is way too backwoods to have one, otherwise I fore sure would have one on my current layout. The back of the structure never made any sense as there's a landing on the brick base portion but no way to get out to it. I think if I ever made one of these kits, I'd have installed a door at the center of the row of windows, so someone could walk out there.

I've always loved the design of this. If I had a lot of money and had some RR equipment on my property, it'd be awfully tempting to build an exact 1:1 scale real-life size copy of this. Modelers would come from all around just to say they'd seen it, I'd bet!

Enjoy your shopping season at Tim's Trains (down by the railroad tracks)

I like seeing everybody's close-ups because I much enjoy close-up modeling , such as these scenes I crafted...

Hi Pete, Is that an open crypt at and below the young lovers' feet?

No, lol!  However, I do remember the nuns being particularly rough with fraternization on church grounds!   Heres the expanded photo....
