mvusse Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I live in a small town with a single track going through it, and on average one cargo train (small one, <10 cars) going through per day. Funniest thing I saw was back when I lived across from Mc D's. Train stopped right behind, engineer got off, and went inside to get lunch! Got back on the train and started moving again.

Xacto Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 When you took the photos, are the trackside done with a pinhole lens, or something else? They were all shot with a regular digital camera. Being that close to the layout surface left the foreground out of focus but I was able to crop out the foreground later to make the image look better.

Guys used to stop for fast food with the helicopters all the time... It's kinda frowned on now, but we'll still do it if there's an empty field or a large empty parking lot in a less populated area. It turns heads :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
