A glimpse of my S scale urban model railroad. Shot with the Olympus E-M1 using the Olympus M.75mm F1.8 prime lens with aperture fully open. Lighting is from natural morning sunlight through a window.
A 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive crosses a river on my S gauge model railroad. I scratch built the trestle from strip wood and created the river using paint and an epoxy resin.
Note the activity by the river bank where two travelers have set up a campfire. It's actually a small LCD bulb that is powered from a transistor radio. Instead of HEARING the music you SEE a flickering "campfire."
A shot from my S Scale model railroad. I constructed the urban Elevated using pieces from various model railroad kits and structural elements from Plastruct and Evergreen Styrene. Buildings are kitbashed from S scale and HO scale structures.

UP 5673 and SP 8695 at the loco terminal preparing for their next assignment. On my HO Scale Pacific Western layout.
The local crew have tied down 2714 in an industry spur and gone across to Hole In One donuts for coffee and a donut.
CB&Q 49536 is an XM4C boxcar. The prototypes were built by the CB&Q Havelock shops in 1966. They were the only waffle side boxcars on the Burlington.
This model is 3d printed sides, Moloco roof, Branchline ends, Accurail underframe, Plano end platforms and lots of fabricated styrene bits. Decals are an old Modeler's Choice set.

To make that little series complete, here is the final picture of that TT scale locomotive running through an environment made by the Midjourney AI engine. Again, the AI engine was trained by photos of my US prototype model layout to adopt my modelling style, but this time, I let it make make more variations. The result is probably the best of the three pictures.
That's actually the same TT scale model train I used for the 'Berlin 2039 tribute' picture. Here, the train is passing through an industrial area in Berlin on a foggy morning. The close-up shot let you feel the power and almost smell the diesel exhaust of this hard working class 241 engine. The environment was created with the help of Midjourney version 5.

This compilation shows how the picture of flic.kr/p/KyehYa was created. On the left side is the model scene arranged for taking the photo on the balcony of my apartment. The upper picture on the right shows the photo as it came out of the camera. The lower picture on the right is the final result.

A morning Harlem Line commuter train passes a Conrail local freight waiting in the siding during the summer of 1982. Once the commuter train is in the clear, the Conrail local crew will drop off a loaded boxcar at King Lumber. HO models photographed outdoors on modules I built and scenicked.
A local freight running on my mainline; with lots of nice Penn Central going on. As this is a pan shot of motion, I like to think of this as "Pan Central."

I've prepared a DRG black edition of the G12 renamed to Baureihe 58 for Bricks-On-Rails.de. This one is powered by a LEGO Power Functions L motor and a LEGO IR receiver plus battery box. It's also possible to use the Powered Up System.
The valve gear is slightly less complicated and instead of antennas I've used rigid hose for the boiler railing.

About the Locomotive:
The G12 (later Baureihe 58) was developed during the Great War. From a servicing and maintenance point of view, it was a great disadvantage for each German state railway to have its own locomotive classes with no standardization. Even spare parts for locos of the same class often did not fit their sister locos. This fuelled the desire for a standardized, fast and powerfull goods locomotive.
The result was the G12, a 1’E 2-10-0 goods train locomotive. Between 1917 and 1924 approximately 1490 copies were build. With 1.520 HP and a top speed of 65 km/h the G12 was capable of pulling big goods trains.
in 1963, the CB&Q Havelock Shop built 300 XM4 boxcars, 47500-47799. The last 10 were built with Transco side sheathing.
I had often wondered how to go about building one of these unique cars until Kurt Kruse, as a great modeling gift (or perhaps as a mean trick) had sides 3D printed for this car.
It was still something of a challenge to build. In addition to the resin sides, it uses Branchline ends and roof, Accurail underframe, Plano roofwalk and brake platform, some DA freight car detail parts and a bunch of bits fabricated from styrene. Painted with Model Master insignia red and my galvanized mix. Decals came from a bunch of sets including Microscale and some Modeler's Choice leftovers.
