hi, I'm new here. I've looked with awe at some totally real looking photo's of model railroaders projects. The lighting especially has been conquered when some of you took your sections outdoors!!! The depth of field, the sharp contrasts, the beautiful blue skies, even the reflections in some of the windows, incredible!!! However, there is still something that an ultra-perfectionist may want to address - the overhead utility lines - they continue to be stretched tightly from pole to pole...why? When is the last time you saw that, maybe in winter deep freeze. I know it's not a big deal, but if you're going thru the trouble for that kind of detail to have utility lines - give 'em a little slack. It's not easy, but the results are spectacular! Please indulge one more- the shiny rail sides- you rust up the individual wheels and springs on the trucks, why not the sides of the rails as well, not even new (real) track is laid with shiny sides...Your projects and layouts are superb, thanks for sharing them online[:)], see-ya...doug
