QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Been following along, the website is really taking shape nicely, the B&W shots look really authentic, I'd keep doing them. Color photography wasnt really common till post WW2, actually 1950's. If your in that pre-war era, B&W is the way to go. The station looks great, the only question is when do you start laying track? It looks like you will be laying over grass, are you going to do a raised gravel roadbed like Marty does? or have you thought about a raised planter to set the track in?

They cost a bomb but are worth it. Ian
