When I first looked at photo number one, I thought some one had done some excellent modeling...but it's real.

You are right. That really does look like some fine modeling. That seen is worth modeling!

"me too"

The scenery looks like a poor lichen or ground foam on top of a first time zip texturing, the trestle is close but too much red/brown to it. Besides, nobody builds a wood trestle with that many sets of pilings (bents?). Four geeps on a branch? They're not even the same colors. What about the background, it looks like a left over bathroom latex.

Oops.

Good points. Even the lighting has a model layout feel to it! I am really liking that seen. I may just have to model it myself.

Enjoying the hobby,

Greg

Obviously it HAS to be a model. The CNW would NEVER assemble such a hodge-podge of locomotives like that... EVER!!

Okay, I'll stop with the sarcasm. However, I think that would be a great picture to use as inspiration as a "model-able" scene.


Thanks

It sure does look like a model scene. All your missing is a Kadee coupler on the lead unit! :-)
