Here is one of my darker photos but unfortunately, this is one of my favorite scenes. I like this scene because it has narrow gauge in the background ( HOn30) and Dual gauge in the foreground. I also like it because it was my first attempt at painting a background scene that I felt comfortable with. ( Mt. Shasta)

The three truck standard gauge Shay is a kit bashed Spectrum. Climax No. 4 is a 30 inch gauge Joe Works brass Climax. Everything in the background is 30 inch and scratch built. The motor is in the water tank car.

A friend of mine from France was visiting last week and took a bunch of pictures of my layout. Unfortunately most of them were dark. Here are a few that came out OK but also show some unfinished areas :

Fine ballast was sifted and glued on for loose gravel. DAS clay was used for the roadside soil banks. All painted with acrylics when dry.

John, you need some trees to frame the impressive view.

I took this photo last month from the edge of the road.
