Now, I plan to do something with it every week so stop by. This first part give a bit of the history of the line (fictional) with some new pics. Later, I would like to feature some of your rail activities.

Don't mind the political and social commentary that I post during in the week, but feel free to comment on it.

Thanks for visiting,

I have a program called "Adobe PhotoSHop Elements." Through trial and error I have discovered these methods. I can make the sort of yellowed images for realy old pics that might be out of the 1920s, Black-n-whiteones that look as if they could be from the 1940s and 50s, I can adjust the color of modern photos to look as if they were from the 60s or 70s.

I think it adds to the photo experience of havinga layout.
