Motley, "Show me a fence."

So here is a fence:

Times up for the 'ocean'.  Show me a photo of your layout/trains etc. that has been 'doctored' a bit in any way with a computer graphics program.

Show me another photo of your layout that looks different than it would if you were actually there.

You win,Ray...I can't find it. Here's one with just a little bit. The 3881 arrived in the mail with "3877" under the headlight. I haven't got around to changing it yet,so I took a pic of the number on the tender,and 'shopped it onto the smokebox. I also shopped in the red and green signals,because I forgot to turn them on.Bang Head

More of the same,please.

Ray, is it the "S.L.O.W 587" [can't quite make out the number] on the end of the boxcar at the left?  The lettering seems larger than what I've typically seen, and it's perfectly horizontal so it could be typed-in without distortion...

All too subtite, RayCool. I use the clone tool a lot. Finally saw the edge of the layout on the right side that you 'cloned' out. It took opening both pictures in 2 windows and clicking back and forth between them to see the difference.

Here's a photo that I used Photoshop to turn Balck and White and then added, dust, noise and other enhancments to make it look old.

Let's keep the enhancment theme going.
