Hey, thanks to all for the encouragement and support. Just a lot of fun to do this thing and the recognition is supersatisfying. Bryant

Here is one I took a few weeks back. SP Heavy Mountain (HO) pulling a tanker consist over Diablo Canyon. I added the smoke. Bryant

Here is a pic of a couple of little plastic cars. The truck is a 1948 ford and there is a 1949 Hudson Hornet in the far background. Bryant

Thanks to all for the kind words and comments. I have not been around the last two weeks due to a gall bladder and colon surgery. I get staples removed today. Probably a few weeks before I get back to the train room. I love all your pics and mutual support. Best to all. Bryant

I printed out your procedure for the trees and happened unto the Sculpy Mold today at Walmart. Looks like you are on to a good method and your pics really do look like the prototype. You might try planting some of those WS weeds along the edges and you will be even closer. thanks for the info...

my, you have a long handle, Bywater! I haven't tried water yet but I am very interested in how you made those fabulous cyprus trees. Attached is me on my favorite locomotive crossing the Atchafalaya. ( in HO guage, of course). Bryant

Here is a MOW crew just workin' on the railroad Bryant :)

Dan, you are right, it DOES look good in sepia. Man! You got all the tricks. And Jim, this is all just smoke and mirrors. Nothing is real except the strip through the middle that contains the Bachmann Spectrum, the automobiles, the bushes and the trestle I made from popsicle sticks. I suppose I...

Well, here I thought that I had discovered something really cool. But you guys are way ahead of me. And Dan. I see that we share similar interests (Girls and cars). Just to get wild and crazy, I did one yesterday that includes both foreground and background: The SP Sunset Limited coming out of...

For those of you who have asked about digital backgrounds, I don't print anything out. I simply cut the blue-wall train room background from my primary picture and add a second background picture from my files. I then send the background picture to the back of the stack. I am using Microsoft...
