Finally got downstairs to the layout and ran some trains.

Richmond Fredricksburg & Potomac GP35 Phase II (Walthers Proto) locos leading a freight through Leiperville Union Station. The train is on track 3 by mistake. Before vacation I was building the run by and I was running it on Track 1 (outside track) and before I went on vacation I wanted to move the train to track 2 (inside track). I forgot the switch from track 2 to track 3 was open and the train went onto track 3. Since track 3 is not fully tacked down and has not been used for any long trains I was pleasently surprised that the locos and 18 cars were able to traverse the track without any power issues or derailments.

Here is a little video taken a few years ago. The PRR HH1 is brass and the Y6b is from Precision Scale Models Most of the stock cars are Proto kits that I assembled.

Such a great shot, Bruce - the level of detail and the depth of field with your camera is top notch - gotta think you have an excellent lens for that camera.

Here's 6757 coming across the White Haven RR bridge through recently completed scenery.

Todd,

Thanks, I knocked the Panasonic LF1 that was used for my model photos off of the layout and damaged the lens.  Lately have been using my Samsung phone by taking shots at different focus points and running them thru a focus merge.

What focus merge are you using? I have been using my phone for quite awhile now and sometimes the focus issue drives me crazy.

Here is video of a couple of Penn Central GP-40 locos with a 34 car train. I will post stills from this run by over the next few days.

Tom,

I purchased Affinity Photo when there was a sale for $25.00.
