Once again proof that this is the largest little layout in the world. Just amazing, John! :thumbs_up: BTW, I was looking at your TB album. Do you put "wires" on your telegraph poles? I have always stayed away from that because of maintenance problems and fear of ripping them off.
Jeff W, your photos have improved many times over in the last several months! This one is one of the best I have seen; Great work!
This is my first unit in several Stewart F7 series upgrade. While this particular unit is unpowered, the others will be DCC with various phase details. I have an Atlas FP7, too. This unit has the Detail Associates upgrade at this time. Lift rings, grabs, end hoses, coupler levers. I will add the 1500 gallon fuel tank, diaphragms, and weathering. The other units will be similar depending on the prototype photo I have. Also, to run on the club layout, I have to have a caboose! I don't remember this manufacturer. Walthers? The grabs and roofwalk are from a detail kit. The smoke jack, antenna, and frog eye lights are scratchbuilt. I am about ready to weather it.
Boy, we must be thinking alike. I love similarly composed shots. How did you get so low? Mine's taken with the 12-24 zoom sitting on the tracks. A mirror?
Thanks, Pete, Spidge. Pete, that is an awesome photo. I set the camera on the tracks and raised the back of the camera with a wood shim. I was trying to get less ceiling in the shot.
I like yours better, but I do have to ask what lens and what camera? I'm having trouble tonight with the ether in Ethernet, mostly due to myself. Here's some more E's and F's.
Here's another straight-on track shot. I few years ago, I got really roasted for my squigglies in these type of shots. So, roast me some mora [sic].
Feeling I needed a country station and something to go against the back drop, I scratch-built this "half" station, loosely based on a B&M design. It does seem to help "blend" the background with the layout.
Hi Pete: Love the tuscan Es. That is going to be my next loco purchase. My camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-F27 with a Leica 1:2.8-3.3 f 8.0 manual focus no zoom. Here's Fs on Roaring Creek bridge.
