BTW, I just posted some new pics of my In-ko-pah Railroad. There are several new, scratch-built additions to the layout. ... http://www.raydunakin.com/Site/IRR-Photos.html

Ray,

I finally got a chance to see your pixes. I am very impressed. I have many questions about 'rocket photograpy', not that I want to take it up, but I'd like to know more about the technical aspects. Like, how do you stabilize the rocket? Do you have a website that discusses these things?

Also, I see you offer these pixes matted for a very reasonable sum. Can they be downloaded in 8x10" size (paid for, of couse)? My wife is a professional artist and can mat and frame, and has a photographic quality printer. I still would pay the $15 for the priveledge of downloading one to print and mount. I don't care to risk the US mail.

Thanks guys! Wait'll you see the most recent additions to the In-ko-pah RR. I think you'll be impressed. But first I need to finish off the roll of film and get it developed, before I can post the pics.

I have not logged into this forum is over two years. I logged in specifically to tell you that your mountain railway looks wonderful!

Thanks for sharing.

Nevada trip pics - useful modeling resource
Posted by Ray Dunakin on Friday, October 3, 2008 1:08 AM
I finally got the pics from my 2008 Nevada/Mojave trip posted to my website:

http://www.raydunakin.com/Site/Nevada_Trip_2008.html

Most of the photos are of ghost towns and mines, many of which would make great models. There's also some railroad stuff -- pics of SPNG #18 on display in Independence, CA; an 0-4-0 mining loco on display in Randsburg, CA; a converted boxcar from the Eureka & Palisades RR in Eureka, NV; and tons of interesting stuff from the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in Ely, NV.

Enjoy!
