    I'm pretty sure all of these are digitally enhanced, so don't feel too bad. I believe he has talked about his process before.

    I have to disappoint you, Bryan, some of Dirk`s pictures are digitally optimised, but others I shot with my I-Phone.
    It is all about to catch the railroad atmosphere, which means that you sometimes have to leave the common positions and look for other angles which are closer to typical prototype pictures.
    Enjoy!
    Best,
    Sven

    I give you an example:

    A typical Z-scale picture, zooming brutally in we can create the illusion of a big railroad

    Zooming out a little bit, it is still a nice railroad layout

    But in real life you are highly disappointed, because then it looks more like this:

    Thus, we Z-Scaler have to do a lot and have to have much fantasy in order to create a good illusion.

    All my best,

    Sven

    As you all know, the code name for "The old port shop" was OPS, any idea why we call this addition FLOPS ?? f12.jpg f13.jpg f14.jpg f15.jpg f16.jpg f17.jpg

    Looks amazing as always. I've missed seeing what's been happening in your z-scale world lately and am glad to see an update!

    Cheers -Mike

    Great weathering on the structures! The trestle is extremely well done as well.
    Why FLOPS? Does it mean final loop?
