DJ .... thanks for the remark ....... I really like the E8 scene........ I saw plenty of Pennsy E units at Chicago Union Station when I grew up near Chicago.  ... I could see them becasue we rode the CBQ suburban trains to get to downtown Chicago which also was at Union Station (for those who do not know). One good memory was ou family went to Philadelphia round trip on the PRR Broadway Limited. ...Pennsy E's were all tuscan red by then. .

Everbody else............. Great photos!

Nice start to the weekend already.  Great shots all of you!

I am still getting photos to use for the NMRA AP Scenery Certificate.  I finally figured out that an open spot behind the layout (used for maintenance access) would be a great place to get a few photos.  It allowed me to get a good "overview" shot of the end of the layout that I couldn't get before.  I also got some shots of the back of the buildings showing some detail that can't be photographed from the main aisle.

All of these are taken inside the Lighting Valence.  You can see the valence in this one (the black and white area):

Here is one of the lighting showing both the 5000°K CFLs used and the blue rope light (not lit) used for night time:

This is the back side of the pond and Ice House at Cooley's Blue Ice:

Enjoy!

Nice images, and a great start to WPF, fellas.  I like the all the tiny people in the shots, Garry.  Lee, that is some nice looking hardware in a nicely done layout setting.  DJ, great as always...wonderful depth and good focus.  Knowcents, what marvellous images you have provided us to start WPF!

I show a J Class being admired  by Dad and the kids.  

My gratitude for the sky and smoke, including smoke shadow on the cliff face, goes to RRCanuck.

 Garry, great dock scene and I also like the backdrop in the middle pic. DJ.

E8 No.5766 is plenty of head end power on this East bound local pulling into Stoney Creek.

Thanks for starting Weekend Photo Fun. What a great start!  Sante Fe is one of my favorites, and I really like those photos.

Here are a few pictures of my Burlington theme layout.

Guess I will start this on off for the first time!  Layout tours are coming to Houston and this seems to motivate to get work done.
