Very nice! Kudos for all the AC lights. I've got a few but they are not functional yet.

How do you get your "smoke" to come out sideways out of the smoke stack? I mean, how do you make it stiff like that? Hair spray?

Nice work, I especially like the 4th one with the ground-level street scene. Reminds me of what The Block looked like back-in-the-day...

Hard to say if your photos are out of focus due to being hand-held or just not in proper focus. Might try a tripod or something else to steady the camera during the relatively long exposures with such low light.

Check out my website on model railroad photography for more tips:

If you want to get technical try not to focus in so close. I think it is distorting your pictures ,Focus out a little more. OLDGETTYSK

I like the way the shots are set at dusk. Shows the layout lights but gives enough light to see everything else, too.
