I just received My June Model Railroader and was excited to see Wolfgang Dudler's Westport Terminal featured in the Trackside Photo's section on page 87. Well done Wolfgang!!

 I was just going to post about this, then I saw someone beat me too it. Congrats Wolfgang, awesome photo as usual. My other thought when looking at it was "what they don't tell you is that there's SOUND in that tiny loco!"

That is one SWEET photo!   I spent a lot of time admiring it.  Here's hoping it means some more from you, Wolfgang, I've always enjoyed your WPF offerings every week.  Bow

I agree. Also, Richard Stoving's NYC Breakneck Tunnel photo on page 85 caught my eye. I had a chance to see Rich's layout last November and having once lived in the area, he sure has captured that scene and others. There have been many pictures taken there over the years and a great N gauge module article in MR a while back. I compared his scene with prototype photos and the comparisons are uncanny.

Yes! Congratulations Wolfgang! I knew right away who's layout that was and who it's builder was. "One of those really nice guys who help me on "the forum" and who is definitely an inspiration for my own work. I too, hope that more of your layout will be featured eventually, in a full article. Do you still have room to work under your layout with all of those current issue copies of MR stored under there now? ;-)

I'd also like to add my corgrats to Wolfgang. Great scene and photo, esp. the little fella! He's also been an inspiration to me, with his "How to's" on his web site.
