These were taken using an three megapixel Olympus D550 Zoom and a five megapixel Vivitar 3935. Something for the Union Pacific fans out there. This is a work in progress, it still has a long way to go. Here's about 3/4's of my locomotives. This one's usually a good draw, the abandoned steamer.
.A pair of E7's. Check out the rust on the white one. One of my GP38-2's. #4099 of the Gateway Western Railway, now owned by KCS. One of my two SD40-2's. KCS #666, and yes, there's a prototype for it. One of my two Atlas Interlocking towers.
KCS #4030, a road slug. There are three shots of this crane car. Look for the flaking rust on the boom.
Here's a car I've been working on. The roof walk has been removed and I'm getting to move the brake wheel down. Look at the peeling paint on the car end.
Nice pictures with a lot of lighting. I believe they actually improve (especially the focus) as you go through the posts. Good work. I like the crane too.
I got the peeling look by lightly spraying a water based paint onto a still wet oil based paint and then drying it with a hair dryer. This can cause the water base paint to dry quickly while causing the oil base to expand. Result? The water base paint cracks then starts to peel. Right there I stop, continuing only causes the oil paint to bubble.
