    Did you get a manwell with it? It is sometimes more of a pain to learn how to use the camera than not. These new cameras have so many options.
    My newest is a Sony A58, which has a very high F stop (f32) or small aperture, which allows for a much larger depth of field in focus images. I am not saying I can use it yet but they tell me the camera can do it.

    You might try a search online for the manuals. I have found many a manual that way. Not just MRR stuff either.

    Thanks BP the WNW was an actual railroad that went bankrupt with the last rail pulled up in early 1941

    My alternate reality says it made it to WW2 and grew from there into a modern class 1 for my fall 1979 modeling era

    Going back here a minute to the Monarch Vista

    I had to toss it's sides back into the dip as I found several paint flaws that requires it to be stripped back down so the interior is also going into the dip as I'll be using a mint green instead of aircraft interior green

    Here's where the Monarch Vista is at now at least the cars interior framing and roof don't need repaint

    Great dome also is in the dip now
