Smoke,
I've not had to detail an engine yet. I have a couple that are waiting to be done for the club layout, but they are back-burnered. You can bet I'll be asking a lot of question here.
Eric,
Nice work on the hoppers. You have my comments on the other post. I really like the sanding tower.
Ken,
I spend several hours on the phone with Charlie Comstock for the "project." One of the things he described for me was making a contest winning shot using fog. He used dry ice which he dropped into hot water. That didn't dissipate the vapor fast enough, so he set his camera to f32 and a 30 second exposure during which time he shooed the fog onto the layout. Here's a picture from his site that MR rejected.
Bob F,
I like the rocks (gravel) around the edges of the pond. My kids would love sunfish fishing along there.
Nate,
Looks like work to me.

Each week it gets better. Downspouts are a nice touch that adds subtle texture.
Crandell,
Question. Out of curiosity, what would you do differently if you were starting over? Nice drop-down by the way. I didn't really think you were looking for comments. Is it mostly up or down when you are in the pit?
Steve,
Interesting photo. It reminds me of when I was hiking the Sierras and these big thunderheads would come over. They were so thick that very little light came through. Then when they passed it the sun was really bright. You shot that with a flash, right?
MLW,
You sure managed to find some dilapidated cars. The engine shots were nice.
Paul,
Those hoppers are a mite purdty.

Thanks for the nice shot of the service area. It is educational to me.

I don't know where your layout is located, but that looks like California Coastal Sage Scrub in spring when it is green. Reminds me of hiking trips along the coast.
