I'd love to see that one in MR's "Trackside Photos" I hadn't considered Trackside Photos as an outlet for any of these images, but submitting them isn't a bad idea. My son would be thrilled if a shot from our RR actually made it into Model Railroader.

However, your work so clearly pushes the edge of the possible that commentary can be reduced to the manageable. The pink shot doesn't work for me, because the frontal and fill light (highlights and general fill on the locos and shed) doesn't match the hues it would get from the pink sky. The full night shots are absolutely first rate. I'm using blue Chritmas lights here, and see results
Thanks for checking out the photos, guys. I appreciate the comments.
Hi everyone. I don't seem to get around to posting here as much as I'd like, but here are a few new images from our railroad. The PCS is a fictional coal mining spur on the D&RGW that runs west of the Joint Line breaking at Sedalia, Colo. A full moon is brilliant in the Rockies. Colorado Fuel and Iron's Split Rock Mine #4 produces product around the clock that rides over D&RGW rail to customers such as the Cherokee Station generating plant near Denver and CF&I's own steel
Thommo wrote: grandeman, beautifull models and photos! D&RGW always impressed me. I have Pentrex DVD on it, it's from 1986. By then, SD40 and SD40T-2 tunnel motors were the kings of the mountains. Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed chasing D&RGW Extra 171.

I'm sure glad to see that our favorite railroad is alive and well and working on the Platte Sub. Looking at your photos was like a nice, fresh breath of Colorado air--you've got me all inspired again. Keep it up--I've sure missed you on the forum! Tom Waaazzzup Tom? It's good to hear from you! What's new on the Yuba River Sub?

And here is something to tempt you that was running until the end of 1965: I've got a friend that owns one of those. They are absolutely beautiful. I think right now we have around 25 locos on the layout (most are in consists leading staged trains). If I run across one, it may find it's way onto the rails of the Platte Canyon Sub!

Camera angles that were tough to capture in the past are now possible. Of course, all the benefits of the SLR type camera are still available from those camera angles. I hope ya'll enjoyed our railfanning trip chasing D&RGW extra 171. :) What lens and focal lengths were you using for these shots? Regards, Charlie Comstock ps. I love my 40D too! Hi Charlie
