a nice plus with digital photography is being able to have a little fun at no cost.  taking some small aperture, long exposure shots to gain a large depth of field, gave me plenty of time to add a bit of a ghosting effect.  next round i might try a green screen background to expand the possibilities.

Hoge, Tom Thumb RR. No. 990, loco/ tender.

Neat photo, and that is a very nice little steamer.

thanks, S.bill...  the Tom Thumb steam sets seem to be much less common than the electric outline type, but after searching for quite some time, i finally snagged a passenger set recently.

(Hoge, Tom Thumb No.990 set, pictured minus one Pullman.)

still looking for the elusive Tom Thumb freight cars, ...someday.

cheers...gary
