We have a big train show in Houston this weekend. I have the entire club layout packed and ready to load at my house. So far there are 8 modules plus skirts and some try-fold displays loaded into my van. Next I have to go pick up a U-Haul trailer to load the rest of this stuff.14 more modules and who knows what. Hopefully when we get it all put together it will look something like this. Have a good weekend. I plan on doing so.
Have a good show Russell and lots of fun. If Jim Hinds is there, tell him howdy for me. Speaking of modules, here's some SP passenger action on one of my NTrak modules .. Another view of same module. Lot of rail activity today . . . .
Russ - wish I could go. Any room left in the back? :tb-wink: A great start. Grampy - that's an outstanding shot. I love the fog effect and lighting. No new pictures lately. I've been busy flocking lots of new trees for the layout. I'll post some updated shots soon. Here's one I did last month that I don't think I posted before. My legs are still sore from all the hiking up the mountain to get this shot:
Hey Carl, Love the cement co. Maybe they'll find him when they tare down the old Giant Statium. Rumor has it he's in one of the end zone or section 107.
Grampy and Wayne, excellent photos!! Gosh...my nose is bleeding we have gotten to such heights! Russell, it looks like quite an undertaking, but I expect the results a couple of hours into the show are worth it? This is one of my favourite Top Five photos, and since I have nothing new, I will submit this image showing a Pennsy J1 causing the bridge across the Seneca River to creak.
The days are getting shorter now that we're in mid-October. It's Friday night, sun is setting, the air is crisp and clear, let's get this place closed up and go home! Managed to sneak in a quick shot before dark tonight... Two photos, one focused on the structure, one focused on the background trees, merged together....
Some cool pix. We look forward to a show report Carl. Gramps, what can I say, you give us what we think is all you've got then you go and post another great fresh shot. I enjoyed the other pix to. Attached are a few pix of my Colton Santa Anna bridge module. They need work but I think they have potential.
The plate girder bridge looks great! Here's my Boston and Maine S3 partly obscured by a tree :mbiggrin: Mike
Thanks Mike. I am experimenting with my camera and these were taken with a 300wt shop light with the camera set on indoor. It seems like I may be able to get away with something like a landscape or portrait+landscape. Looks like I need to set aside an evening to just sit and take pix using different settings. What a rookie!!:tb-confused:
Squeezing one more in - a wide view of New River Waiting for two bridges now, winging their way from the US. Mike
Since I see that there are a couple of vintage B&W images up-stream in this weekend's thread, I'll add a couple more of a somewhat similar nature. Their dates are October 15, 1941 and August 3, 1957. NYW&B
Great pics this week! C40-8 8692 running long hood forward blast out of Elkhorn tunnel and crosses Coopers trestle.
I did get around to producing an image, and an artifact in the image gave me the opportunity to try out the clone brush in Sagelight to generate a smoke effect.
