Before I even opened this topic, I saw the subject and immediately thought of Jon Grant. I opened it to submit a response suggesting that Josh see Jon's work. Well, I see Jon saved me the effort. Nice work Jon. I always considered your winter modeling to the most believable I've ever seen, bar none. I live in So Cal, and the only time I see snow is in the mountain peaks around the LA basin, that arrives in January and lasts a few months while I'm driving around in 70-80 degree weather down at my elevation. I've actaully seen it last through June in some years - but those peaks are up around what, maybe 8-10K ft? Would you believe I actually miss the snow? And Jon's shots with the CSX locos are very realistic to me - enough so to bring back memories. How's that, you say? Come again? Well, I grew up in Pennsylvania and saw plenty of B&O action in the snow, not to mention N&W, Pennsy, P&LE, and later the Penn Central, then Conrail. Then I moved to New Hampshire & then Maine and really saw snow (and grew to hate it too) along the B&M and the MEC. I came to my senses and moved to So Cal. LOL I did marry a gal from Ottawa, Ontario Canada (talk about snow) which has provided me some opportunity to see the CN in the winter. I sometimes miss the snow and have purchased several videotapes of CSX railroading through the Allegheny range - including many nice winter shots through Sand Patch and the Cranberry grade, Cumberland to Grafton. Pentrex also offers 3 tapes of winter RR'g along the upper Mississippi. They're nice too. I can see snow up at Cajon on occasion since I live at the foot of the pass, and not too far from Tehachapi, which also gets dustings. As I model the desert southwest, I'll likely never model a winter scene, but I do really enjoy seeing Jon's work. Thanks for sharing, guy. Enjoy the hobby. <br /> <br />Greg
