Something scary?  Old uncle Albert has just headed up the trail to the farm house.  Something in the woods by the still has terrified him!!!

Of course it may have something to do with Albert sampling the main ingredient of the "Remedy" that his two old maid sisters bottle up to sell to the nieghbors as a "tonic"....

The large pink elephant was originally supposed to be 6' white rabbit named Harvey, but I couldn't lovate anything to use for the scene, so it became a pink elephant instead.

More scary scenes, please.

Here is my current favorite, my BLI, NYC Niagara #6008. Its the favorite because it is on the layout right now at the head of a 18-car freight train.

Show us another favorite model railroad thing.

Not from the Great White North but as we're nearly off the page here's a 9mm : 1 foot NZR Da (EMD G12) from the "Land of the Long White Cloud".

Please show me your current favourite model railroad thing.

Cheers, the Bear.

Here's a photo that I used Photoshop to turn Balck and White and then added, dust, noise and other enhancments to make it look old.

All too subtite, RayCool. I use the clone tool a lot. Finally saw the edge of the layout on the right side that you 'cloned' out. It took opening both pictures in 2 windows and clicking back and forth between them to see the difference.

Enhancements?  Like photoshopped stuff?  OK...  bet you can't find it, but it is there!

Ray, is it the "S.L.O.W 587" [can't quite make out the number] on the end of the boxcar at the left?  The lettering seems larger than what I've typically seen, and it's perfectly horizontal so it could be typed-in without distortion...

You win,Ray...I can't find it. Here's one with just a little bit. The 3881 arrived in the mail with "3877" under the headlight. I haven't got around to changing it yet,so I took a pic of the number on the tender,and 'shopped it onto the smokebox. I also shopped in the red and green signals,because I forgot to turn them on.Bang Head

More of the same,please.

The fog is real, but a smokestack and it's shadow were removed from the backdrop.

Show me another photo of your layout that looks different than it would if you were actually there.

Well, visitors to my layout certainly wouldn't see the steam escaping from the steam lines...

Here's one:

OOPS...not the same angle!Embarrassed  But the second one did have a bunch of background clutter just like the first one!
