Anyone out there remember reading the descriptions of the photo contest entries maybe 20 years ago? One neg would be exposed three or four times; one exposure for front lighting the train, one for the street lights and building lighting (with a star filter of course), then a filtered light for the moon, and I believe there was a trick with a lighted straw to show the headlight beam and another one with cotton on a wire for the steam. And that doesn't count the dodging and burning during the print exposure. It's the same thing, just easier now. As an artistic expression it shows the artists talent and has its place, even in Model Railroader. As for layout articles, show us all the screws, switch machines, solder joints, control panels and ceiling supports. It's what we buy the magazine for. <br />Steve
