Belg: It took me a long time to learn enough to produce pictures like this one. I found the software pretty difficult. Keep at it. I just keep reading anything I can get my hands on re: digital photography. I posted the reference to the plow a few weeks ago. Here it is again...

Matthryo: That's goin to be a beauty. Can't wait to see the finished model. Great job. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Old shay #2 is pushing old snowplow #3 at night. Just wish it was real and I was there. [/IMG]

Lighthorseman: Congratulations on your win. It was a really tough competition. Great picture. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Jon: Love these old pictures. My grandfather drove a horse-drawn milk delivery wagon on the east coast. His favorite horse was named 'Benny.' I wish I had a picture of it. You're lucky to have the photo.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words about my pictures. It is HO scale. I'm not sure what kind of loco was used to push it. Whatever it was I'm sure it the old plow creaked, groaned and moaned. You'd have to ask one of the log heads on this site.

NYC-BKO According to the plans it was based on West Side Lumber Co's. plow #02. Here is the reference I used: NGSLG July/Aug 1989 - By Julian Cavalier. Good luck.

'Ol #3' is jumping right into the fray. She's trying out her lighting after being in the repair shed the whole summer. Getting ready for winter. (All enhancements were done with photoshop.)

Here's a shot of 'old #3' from the back. This model has a real back-woods feel. It is one of my favorites. [/IMG]

Here are some more shots. This time of 'ol #3' the snow plow on the Ginkho Bay RR. It was scratch-built from plans in an old NGSLG. It looks like 'ol #3' has been around a few years. [/IMG]

Love the old logging photos. And especially the horses dragging the log carrier. I have two D. Kinsey calendars over by work bench. I look at them everyday. Thanks for the post. :D :D :D

Woodie: I assume lurve is Aussie talk for love??? It's a Jordan product. I like Jordan cars - I've built around twelve of them over the years. I buy them in the states here - hobby shops. I don't know if they sell them in Australia. You may be able to get them over the internet??? Good luck...

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I'll post more shots when they are ready.

The only problem is.... Here is the other locomotive on the Ginkho Bay RR. The owner of the tottering line, Ben the Bean Counter, looks on as the old loco just got a new paint job. He hopes this will attract some new customers in the nearby city of New Jason Harbor. ;) ;) ;) [/IMG]

The only problem with my digital camera is I spend more time taking pictures and playing with my photoshop software than I do building models. :cry: :cry: :cry: Here is a shot of my Ginkho Bay RR Heisler. It was just bought by the financially insolvent railroad. Let's hope it lasts...

Shamus: Kudos to the winner. :wave: :wave: :wave:

Here is my second attempt at getting the railimages link to work (for the Kitbash Photo Contest.) Yes, the victorian roof and stairs took a long time. GULP! :wave: :wave:

This one is a small factory roof on the south side of Chicago. I was playing around with my photoshop elements 2 and put in a sunset sky. Thought it looked really good. :D :D :D

Can almost smell the grass and the cut tree stumps Jon. Great shots too.:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Thanks to Mike Fifer and Shamus Thanks for the warm welcome and details on lighting. I hope to put the photo information to good use in the next few weeks. The next hurdle is uploading the shots. That will take a while I suppose. My last two attempts have not been successful...
