Aggro trees were my second great discovery and I was going to post a pic. But I think I made them better by putting Static grass on them as needles. You decide.

Show me something you learned from this forum.

If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art

Depth of field

The photography tips and clinic run by folks like Railphotog made a huge difference to my enjoyment of the hobby.

 

Since it is the weekend, show me some little people at leisure, enjoying some sort of recreation.

I took this shot of the construction crew after they finished up the Penny Lane station.  They've moved on to more projects.  (After all, something is always being built in Moose Bay.)

Show me someone on his (or her) day off.

I know I probably should have stapled the wires instead of leaving them dangling, but this is about as "tidy" as my wiring gets. Smile, Wink & Grin  The main power connection to the layout:

Bob, that may be a "single sheathed Door", but I believe the poster was looking for a 50' single sheathed boxcar....

I have several 40' (50 ton) USRA Single Sheathed, outside Braced boxcars like this one right behind the loco:

But I don't have any that are 50' long.......

Now back to our regularly scheduled request....Smile, Wink & Grin
