Frank.......Very nice. 

Here's a "old" shot from me.  I've added a turn out to the main line since this shot.  I might need to take a new picture .

Nice detailing in the wooden structure!  I like the layout above, too...looks very natural as imaged.  The backdrop is a nicely painted one.

The Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway is beginning to receive their new order of covered hoppers.

They are manufactured by the True Line Corp.

 Here's a car I've had for a while:

 

And an express reefer in MoW gray. It has yet to be lettered.

Re: WPF 11/20-11/22

Great idea for a thread!  Here are a few shots of the Grand Trunk Cold Storage Warehouse in Detroit -- it is near the Milwaukee Junction.  Very cool building!  (No pun intended!).  I plan on modeling it in a compressed form on my layout.  I'll post some more pics of Detroit at a later time. 

The "D" offers a lot of modeling possibilities!

I really like the digital backdrops.  Hand painted can be nicely done, but I think the realistic nature of the backdrop you have there takes layouts to a whole new level.

Re: WPF 11/20-11/22

Nice work everyone, I'm excited to see you guy's pictures. I've been waiting for WPF to come. I like the idea how to retouch picture with digital, give me so realistic . Good one. And mine is just the latest shot with the same diorama.

Berlingo, AMAZING! The only thing I have to say is make the cars in the first picture shine less, and it will look just as good as the others.

Re: WPF 11/20-11/22

Berlingo, that second photo looks like any normal day on the CSX, I thought it was real for a second!

I've gotten some progress on my yard scenery, as much as I can. Probably gonna have some pictures for y'all tomorrow.

Re: WPF 11/20-11/22

Terry.........That does look better.  I normally do "crop", but for some reason I didn't on that shot.
