Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

I think Richard has seen some of my other shots.
Note to the right of the tunnel, a smoke bomb tub. I layed black roofing paper on the loco and set a bomb off. Problem is as I wanted it to roll out of the tunnel. Plus the light wind changed and the next one I lit went out the other end.
it was fun tho.
I saved some fireworks for this winters snow shots. That may be cool.

Matt
I don't see that happening to soon.
Most of my shots are taken with our older camera , presized and set for loading and sharing on the internet.
Kinda like this car I took while out walking along the tracks with camera in hand.

I liked the graffitti on the car.

Marty, it's not about the equipment! It's the composition of the photo, and the person behind WHATEVER camera relizing it![8D]

Thanks
To be honest, I like the direction Aristo is heading and am will and looking forward to helping them in the Midwest area when possible.
The day Marc H. calls me to come on staff, I'd probably fant. Plus doing an artical or photos every issue is a challenge and NOT as easy as most think. I have two articals not finished simply because I ran out of "gas" on them. They just don't ,,,click.
