The little guy in his dads arms loves trains so much he almost wouldn't look at me to take this shot.


This kid made me laugh so much because of the exprssions on his face.
OH...Will Thomas keep away from the big coal train??? This is so fun..[:p]

His mouth is wide open in this shot.[^]

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

It does look very real, excellent lighting. If that carpet grass beneath y'all's feet were a rock formation, it would look as if you all were standing on an outcropping in the valley below. An excellent forced perspective!

Hey Guys,
Marty's bridge work is fantastic. Anyone who visits gets their pic taken under that BIG bridge. This is one awesome railway that needs to be seen to be appreciated. Later eh...Brian.

I am building a 4 M long 400 mm high 16 span viaduct out of concrete; but I ask myself why bother when you have such a wonderful structure.

On a more positive note you all look a bit like me, younger but very similar construction so i guess Aussies and Yanks are pretty similar after all.

Ian, only difference is there standing upside down and its nearly there winter. We can go outside and play in the sun, they will probably be inside looking at the rain and snow.
How sad
