Some photos of a Double Stack on the Grand Road
Author: grandroad

While I had the camera and lights out I switched the train to the LADNST (Los Angeles to Denver Stack Train). This train has 25 cars and 43 wells, it's consist is 3x2x1 mix of EMD and GE AC traction motor power.
I hope you had a super Thanksgiving and thanks for looking.

Fantastic photos! I especially like your technique for doing the sky/horrizon; it's so authentic.

It appears to be real sky photoshopped in?

TO'ers, that is the Colorado sky. The layout is in a 9' x13' room. In a room that size you have to choose the layout theme, either switching or railfaning. I chose the latter since the Moffat road is the prototype for the protofreelance layout. I get a kick out of finding a location to photograph and "trying" to make it look like a railfan on the ground took the photo. I am not a fan of helicopter shots.
