Mr. B.,
You mean you used actual "film" for that!?!
Oh my!
What IS this world coming to?
(Great shot BTW)
True story: A fellow former New Yorker (and I hope now a fellow Red Sox fan) came into my office at work where that picture was my screen saver. He looked puzzled, and asked where on the system "Saint Anne Street" was. I told him it was in my train room, and his eyes widened way up. Man, when somebody, even a non-MR-type, can't tell the difference between reality and your model, you've got to be doing something right.
I'm happy to say that my own jaw drops on occasion when I see what my friends here are doing. Keep up the good work, ladies and gentlemen.

This was taken with a film camera. It shows my first subway station, at Saint Anne Street on the Moose Bay Transit Authority.
Those just plain ROCK!
please send dollars so I can do something similar!
, Philip, it has a life of it's own. There is some great talent lurking in this post.

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.

Great stuff everyone! Just great!
Heres a few more shots from down under:
These garratts were still operating on the New South Wales rail system until the early 70's. I have recently obtained a sound model.

AltoonaRR: It came in this time (and Don Z, the only way a url works on this browser is to hit Enter, but thanks for the consideration.) Nice going with that tunnel. First time eh? And your wife helps? (Actually my Kris is great for scenery suggestions as well, but hasn't expressed an interest in doing the scenery....yet)
Looks like you model in Normal Scale too, Great!

Cool thanks, I'll try that.
Crud!! Looks like it's time to find some photo bucket space.

Here's the link anyhow if you're still interested. ;)
Altoona,
I'm assuming this is what you were trying to do...
Insert [ IMG] before your link and [/IMG ] after your link without the spaces you see between the bracket and the text.

Research; it's not just for geeks.

Thanks Don, my wife helped with that, it's just card board strips and plaster cloth, and you know, that was our first attempt at it and it was almost as exciting as building the track. :)
Yeah, it's quirky, I was really trying to get it to post the picture but I had to settle for the link. Keep trying. :)
Here's another photo from a friend's layout that I visit and partake in operating sessions.
Here's my little setup. I hope the link works.
Here's my layout as of July '05.

It's only the 1st phase benchwork, which is probably going to end up being redone. Sorry for the horrible photo quality (it's a disposable camera, I took this before I got my digital one). Note the unfinished walls and pile of table legs sitting on the table to the right of the picture. I still have to put up drywall and paint the stuff. About a week after I took this picture, I built the rest of the benchwork. Sadly, I think I will have to redo it.
There're a few "best" pictures.

Some of my best pics are "mistakes". (I suppose that doesn't say much for my camera skills, huh?) I meant to say........Sometimes a "mistake" is a good thing! (Yeah, that sounds better!)
how did i miss this thread

Can I request that people don't keep duplicating the photos when makeing comments. It really dilutes this wonderful thread.
Thanks.

Did you model it or did it come with the landscape background.

The dead tree is a real twig that I found in the bush on the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.
There were on bushes that had been through a bushfire but hadn't died, these twigs were sticking out of the new growth and are a light weathered grey, just like real wood... with small black bits from the fire. This is exactly what dead trees out here can look like.
I grabbed an armful and I must have a dozen or so scattered around the layout.
The background behind the tree is perhaps about 3 feet away and receding to the far left corner of the room (see the first pic showing the low backscene).
