That 5th tunnel motor looks as sad as the lead unit looks bright.

Thanks for the look back, Bob.

That is one crisp, beautiful shot Bob, thanks for sharing. Bet those SD's sounded great. That fifth unit Kodachrome T-motor could be the forever grungy 9319.

Kent in CArmel Valley

Taken quite a few video clips exactly in that location . . . great photo-Bob!

This has to be one of my favorite SP shots! Freshly minted SD45T-2, a full suite of tunnel motors, trailers, and that beautiful California scenery. Only thing left to do is model the scene!

Nice photo, beautiful day in the neighborhood and fresh paint. What more can you ask for?

Does the water car have metal patterned walkways or wood planks?

If you look at the shadows on the top of the tank you can see a heavy line from the walkway frame. Between that shadow and the dome there is a lightly grey shadow. I go with open walkways which allows some light through where solid wood would cast a heavier shadow on the top of the tank.

Good catch, looking at the photo on a real monitor it's pretty obvious.
