Very Nice!! I am a PRR railroader by choice, but I do love the D&H as well. I like the PA's that were used by them, and the paint schemes were beautiful as well.

Is that real, model, or combination?

Thanks .... the picture is right off my layout - no trickery at all, that's exactly the way it looks. I wanted to make the picture in the post bigger, but I guess that's as good as it gets !!! ( .... oh, now I see - click on the picture to make it bigger ! Cool. .... see, I'm new here !!! ) [:I]

You don't have to be a fan of the Delware and Hudson to appreciate that! Good show!

Thanks for that picture. I recall seeing it before and I am still impressed with how it came out.

I too am a D&H fan

Very nice and realistic! I especially like all of the highway signs, and the weathering on the bridge - no shiny plastic showing.

Keep up the good work!

Nice job! Especially organizing the bridge, the folage, the PennDot stuff for the highway, as well as the sky, and the lighting. The lighting really looks that way up in the Endless Mountains between Scranton PA & Binghamton NY right now (minus the Alco)......It fooled me until I enlarged the photo.

I love this kind of detail especially on railroads in PA.....like the D&H.

Would enjoy seeing more.

Mark, welcome to the forums!!!
Excellent Excellent work!!!!

I especially like the Dodge Charger in the photo being a Mopar fanatic.
Are the PA's a Proto offering?
If so, what #'s?
The Coach, a Walthers Budd car?

I have 2 coaches, one dome car & a PA for passenger service in D&H as well as a couple of GP38-2's & a RS11.

As a person who photograph trains (First D&H and now CP) on the real bridge for years I was very much impressed. I thought it was the real thing for a second. Your need for a little selective compression tiped me off. Great work keep it up.

There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
