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.
Foreign power on the local, Western Maryland Western Division layout, Loudoun County VA, August 19, 2014
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.

Is one of the primary caretakers of the Mississippi Coast Model Railroad Museum located in Gulfport, Mississippi. The museum hosts multiple working train sets with different gauges and home to the largest LEGO Railroad Display in Mississippi.
Dampflok der Baureihe 52 der Deutschen Reichsbahn.
Bekannt auch durch ihre Einsätze während des 2. Weltkrieges.
Hier eine H0-Version von Märklin, in Wehrmachtsgrau.
Steam locomotive of the Class 52 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Also known for their missions during the 2nd World War.
Here is an H0 version of Märklin, in Wehrmacht grey.

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.
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.
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.
A poor photo of a model that I recently purchased. This is a Balboa Models HOn3, three truck freight rail bus. I will replace this photo with a better one soon.
Scale: HOn3

Road: Rio Grande Southern (RGS)
Importer: Balboa Scale Models (BALBOA)
Year(s): 1967-68
Quiet morning on Schaffan Street, in the fictional town of Flagstone, New Jersey. Structures at left at Atlas Model Railroad Co., house at right is Woodland Scenics. HO scale models photographed outdoors on modules I built and scenicked.
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.
experiment or just playing around with a Macro lens, miniture railroad and Topaz software.
Trying for a realistic vintage real photo look, if that sort of thing exists.
Just completed CGW 106A and CGW 116F. These are detailed and painted Highliner bodies on Athearn Genesis drives. Now I only need three more to complete the set I have planned for trains 192/143 coming in at Dubuque Junction.

I was admiring this model railroad display at a local bank when a delightful older woman joined me. We shared our nostalgic love of trains, both real and in small form. We had both thrilled to the old steam locomotives and spent hours playing with Lionel, American Flyer, and other toy trains of an earlier time.
