Wow.

Nothing quite like the "railfan angle" to make them toy trains POP!

Awesome!

Thankee!

Np^^

I've always enjoyed photographing my models from a "Worm's eye view" to enhance the scale. I like this image as it reminds me of photographs I've seen of the early morning streetcars rolling through Richmond, carrying workers to the Shipyards during WW II.

oooo i like.

not sure what my next layout will be, nor where nor when.
probably not O-tinplate. but these i do like.

I enjoy 'em. My eyesight is really not suited for anything smaller, these days, though I do dabble in HO a little bit.

my most recent was On30. big enough to see, HO mechanisms and track, reasonably reliable and readily available.
many 1/4" non-railroad items such as for scenic details and architecture, available from not railroad providers.
(close to scale ferals and fantasy people and so on. architectural model building supplies in 1/4" common and some reasonably priced)

i've dabbled in 1/2" to the foot on g-gauge track. not long ago i was gifted a bunch of g-track too. but i've only got a couple of turnouts for it, and those are a bit spendy.
the complensation of g, is being able to scratch build everything, its so huge. big enough to 3d print whatever details desired, or even make many of them out of common household items.
the other thing with g i like, is good size battery power on board for radio control, ergo, no track cleaning that way, and even non-conductive materials become an option for rails.
might try scratch building turnouts, expensive as available ones are. one project for sure i have in mind, is a solar charged batter powered imaginary prototype loco.
something like the one in http://www.furaffinity.net/full/13818838/
and http://www.furaffinity.net/full/13898898/


where i'm living now i'm not planning on trying to build anything right away.

I'm dabbling a bit in G, myself: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16662209/

RDC? Hell, no-- three-rail are AC!

That's how pirates commute-- via Arrr-DC.

great picture Marm...

Thankee!

Yayyyy, B&O!!

My great-grandfather worked for the B&O, I think as a dispatcher. I have his red lantern and telegraph set, and a B&O railroad lock. Only thing I don't have is a photo of him. Go fig...

Neat!

The lantern dates to the turn of the 20th century and I'm told it's worth a lot of money. Fortunately, I don't put a price on history (esp. family history), so it's not like I'll ever be selling it.
