Your welcome Mr. M. On a summer day I would eat my lunch across the park from the ladies and watch the PCC cars go up the hill on there own right of way. Don

Mr. Muffin,

I remember when you were looking to purchase some kits to finish off the row.  I've been waiting to see the results since then and Ms. Eclairs handiwork does not disappoint.  The row looks fabulous.  Nice to see everybody in the neighborhood is keeping up with their painting duties.

Terry,

The sign board is a highly modified MTH lighted sign from the mid-'00s.  You'd do better looking for one of the wood kits - I can't recommend a manufacturer, perhaps someone else can help...sorry.

BNSF #4999 at the point of Amtrak Southwest Chief Pulling some old varnish.

I'm a little late to the party - busy weekend.

Great photo, Frank.

As has been said, the star effect is a diffraction pattern caused as light passes through the camera diaphragm. It's just a neat effect that is a by-product of the small apertures and long exposures used to produce model photos with good depth of field. IMO it adds some punch to engine photos.

But, let's not obscure the artistry involved in Frank's shot by over-analyzing the science.

Hey Jim, where's the pictures. Saw your name but no pics. Don

You're right, Don. After all this is the photo thread.

This was interesting , not o gauge but very cool . This is in Nelsonville Ohio on the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway .

Hi L. I. Train,

Sorry for the late reply.

I used the grey carpet because of photos that I had seen on the forum that also used grey.

My idea is that the grey will represent the ballast under the track and in the yards and I will add small scenic plots using green carpet or even apply some ground foam over sections.

I find the grey makes the train room look lighter, I actually had green down and removed it, I find the grey hides dirt better as well!

This should have been posted last week, but I was on vacation and back today...

Here are some pics from the Syracuse Greenberg Show last weekend where the CNY-NRHS had our "small" layout.

Thanks,

Mario

Pennsyk4,

You need to change the privacy settings on your  posted YouTube video so it's viewable to everyone.

And it's lookin' good, too, especially in that panned photo.  Thanks for posting, Chris.  Always glad to see Lehigh Valley represented.

And, for your fine photo of the Muni car at that location, your personal record is awarded ten merits.
