Frank.......Very nice. Thumbs Up

Here's a "old" shot from me.  I've added a turn out to the main line since this shot.  I might need to take a new picture Whistling.

Nice detailing in the wooden structure!  I like the layout above, too...looks very natural as imaged.  The backdrop is a nicely painted one.

The Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway is beginning to receive their new order of covered hoppers.

They are manufactured by the True Line Corp. Cool

Great idea for a thread!  Here are a few shots of the Grand Trunk Cold Storage Warehouse in Detroit -- it is near the Milwaukee Junction.  Very cool building!  (No pun intended!).  I plan on modeling it in a compressed form on my layout.  I'll post some more pics of Detroit at a later time. 

The "D" offers a lot of modeling possibilities!

I really like the digital backdrops.  Hand painted can be nicely done, but I think the realistic nature of the backdrop you have there takes layouts to a whole new level.

Nice work everyone, I'm excited to see you guy's pictures. I've been waiting for WPF to come. I like the idea how to retouch picture with digital, give me so realistic . Good one. And mine is just the latest shot with the same diorama.

Berlingo, AMAZING! The only thing I have to say is make the cars in the first picture shine less, and it will look just as good as the others.

Berlingo, that second photo looks like any normal day on the CSX, I thought it was real for a second!

I've gotten some progress on my yard scenery, as much as I can. Probably gonna have some pictures for y'all tomorrow.

Terry.........That does look better.  I normally do "crop", but for some reason I didn't on that shot.

 Another.  I had to rebuild both mainlines through this section yesterday and today.  The alignment just did not like the SD75 trucks.

At first I thought Crandell posted a scan of a magazine centerfold. Look at the way the line goes down the backdrop corner, through coal tower window, along the water column and black streaked weathering on the TT. 

As always, nice postings

That is a really cool looking picture. I've never seen anything like that before. You must have spent some time getting the subway station to look just right.

Thanks guys.  It is actually my second try at a subway station.  The first one is on a different wall of the layout and is embarrassing.  I really must replace it some day.

This one was made mostly with Photoshop.  The walls and floor are ink jet prints.

I read these WPF threads religiously, but I see so much really outstanding work that I am generally too intimidated to post.

I'll ditto Driline on Phoebe Vet's great photo. Love the Lackawana F3 ABA and the subway scene! Neat layout, too, with the trimwood and skirt. Thumbs Up

Also, many complimnets for other great layout photos from Robby, TX Terry (friends layout), Berlingo, MAbruce, Duckdodger, Geared Steam, Trainman Ty, Jerry, Jeff, and Crandell.  Thumbs Up
