Here is an old 'group shot' of the BRVRR's sound equipped locomotive fleet from 2004-5.

How about another group photo?

Remember its your railroad

HALF of a flatcar  And LESS than half of a powerplant.  I tried to squeeze the impression of a power plant into almost zero space against the background with this mockup.  The cardstock cutout face of the powerplant was drawn in Photoshop LE and printed out.  

Show me another flatcar or more than one, since this was only half.

Thank you Lee,

  Starting from left to right on the background, are four buildings that are background structures up against the backdrop. So I guess you can say; the upper shelf and backdrop, is semi 3D.

Or maybe golfers shoot golf instead of shooting layout pictures...

Central St in Sheepscott presently has 3 buildings made of paper:

  • The grey building behind Reny's, on the right is a mockup mode of cereal boxes and painted grey. I made this to check the size of a future building
  • Lacy Variety, the white front building across from Renys, is a DPM modular mockup awaiting the final parts which have been out of stock for a long time
  • Teacup Cafe, the building with the blue sign, is a building designed using the ModelBuilder program and printed on photo paper. I have just started to assemble it

Show me a rural scene

Does this count?
It's an old photo from my first layout 4 years ago, which was an N scale one.
