Jeffrey,

Your photos have improved tremendously! Makes it look like you've upgraded your entire layout! (or have you done that, too?)?

I'm working on it.Laugh [(-D]

Nice photos, The Bruce that lives in MA. I like the abandoned coaling tower spur. I also appreciate that you specify what you added digitally - I know for sure that I'm admiring good modeling, and not just good image manipulation skills.

Jeffrey,

Check out what I dug up. This is a Bachmann GE U-boat body on an Athearn GP50 chassis.

Two from me this weekend. 

I call this Highland Meet.  A PRR J1 crawls along the close siding above Seneca Falls while a NYC Niagara rockets past on the mains.

Wolfgang, that close turnout in your first image looks familiar.  Is it stamped Fast Tracks by any chance?  Big Smile [:D]  Nice big yard.  I hope to have such a thing sometime.

  Jeffrey, I really like the station, the roof looks exceptionaly good. Your pics have sure came a long way in the last couple of weeks. A decent camara works wonders. I wish mine took pics as well as yours.

  MA bruce,  I like the abandend track, I might have to have on on the new layout I am about ready to build.  Great pics.  Mike

I see that it has not been started yet, so I'll venture out and fire off the first photos.  As always, let's please keep it civil.

Here's a shot of an abandoned rail spur leading up to an old coaling tower in the background, and an active siding in the foreground.  The backdrop is digitally added.

 

Here's a bridge shot (clouds in background digitally added):
