    I agree its a very nice layout, well sized with some very nice scenery work. It also seems you have improved your layout photography skills too, very nice exposure and color on your new set of images.

    I'm actually a good photographer outside of model railroading normally, it's one of my hobbies... I have mixed lighting over the layout (compact fl. and halogen) plus flash, always makes for some bad color balance. I went with the tripod on this set, and no flash. Made a world of difference.

    Thanks guys!

    Excellent work Joe, I would say you captured the feel of PA spot on. The pictures look like the areas I have rail fanned in North East PA and NJ.

    Thanks fellas. I'm pretty pleased with where things are right now. I'll try to be a little more timely with photo updates going forward.

    Jim Wiggin: I hope it looks like PA, I've lived my whole life in this region! Still missing a big item: trees, and lots of them..
