    Hi all!
    I recently started (and completed) a Fine Scale Miniatures two stall enginehouse.
    The kit was the old one (#35), and it required some alterations to the windows etc.

    That looks really nice! The natural light really helps with seeing your detailing work.

    Wow. Those photos are very well done and those interior shots are very realistic. Nice skill set.

    Absolutely stunning!!! I love that the shots were taken outdoors! I think I need to build a small diorama that I can take outside to photograph my trains. JMS

    I'm starting to think the same way. We've had more folks taking advantage of natural lighting these past few months, than I have ever seen. Wow, it is well worth the effort!

    I have always loved the John Allen GD engine house, and it always amazes me that the original was made out of card stock. I am willing to bet that your version looks better than the original. I personally model N Scale, and we don't have a kit of the GD engine house. Micro Trains makes a similar kit.....

    I see the original J. A. one in my bathroom all the time as I have the 1952 (is it ? Not home) MR Mag. in there with J.Allen on cover (in black and white) spiking track right next to it..! Love your plow rail car and the contrasting shiny silver engine tires..
