This photo is a dual purpose post...1.) I recently spruced up the scenery here.2.) I just finished off the Focal Orange N5c Cabin Car.

Looks great. I especially like the camera angle. Looking up at a train looks natural.
Nice work!
I've been thinking of picking up an N5c.
It is the N5c that makes me think the colors are a little brighter in the photo than in the actual layout. The cabin is really about 3 shades darker. That doesn't mean that the individual trees might not need some green, but it is hard to tell what the overall effect is in the train room.

good job!
scenery and caboose now match nicely :)
Chip,
I really like the Bowser cabin cars. Compared with most cabooses on the market the N5 and N5c are bargains. My LHS has them for $12 to $13. The only downside is the glazing kit is $3 extra.
The particular cabin is painted in the Focal Orange scheme, so it really is that bright. Well almost.
I will admit, I went a little artsy here. I played with the color of the light and slightly overexposed the photo to make the trees and cabin car "pop" the way they do. Exactly realistic, not really. But, I really like the final effect. And as a photographer I greatly respect once told me, "How do you know if a photograph is great? If you like it, it's a great photograph."
