One of my favorite Model Railroaders (Malcom Furlow) was famous for adding similar effects to his layout. Nice job!
Have Fun.... Bob.
For mist on your layout, why not use real water vapor?

Thanks guys.
I don't actually own Photoshop (or one of it's clones). As I said, being rather old school, I prefer doing as much as possible in camera. I use Adobe Lightroom for the little image manipulation I do. Basically, the techniques I previously did in a darkroom, I now do digitally with Lightroom.

I've been experimenting with some special lighting and other effects. Being rather old school, all the effects were done in camera...
Here we find a Pennsy coal train crossing a fog filled Barger Run, with the sun just coming up.
I placed the primary light behind me in the aisle, off to the left, and slightly above the level of the fascia. Normally, I light the layout from above. Although, you really can't tell, I used a blue light directly over the scene to fill the shadows slightly. The fog was the trickiest effect and took several tries to get right. It's a piece of bubble wrap I moved around in front of the lens.
