Sweethome Alabama - recent photos - Jon Grant 4472 - 01-05-2012

I Finally got the layout back up and running over New Year, so I thought I'd take some new photos showing areas which are not normally seen from the front of the layout. The subjects are an Intermountain U18B and an Athearn CF7, as yet unweathered or sound-fitted.

The second shot of the U18, looking under the wood bridge........I really thought you had sneaked in a prototype photo there.
To the point where I had to go looking for the "giveaway". I found it, the "uncoupling pin".
You have an excellent mix of shape, color, and small detail that makes all the difference in the appearance of your scenery, and the lighting, and quality of the photo, certainly added to the effect. Thumbsup Thumbsup Thumbsup
Sweethome Alabama, is definitely "sweet". Cheers Thumbsup

I'm always amazed each time I see your layout. Every little detail is done with extra care! And so small...

Great weathering on that loco..!! Thumbsup
I've got a couple of UP diesels (SD-7 & GP-7), and an old Tyco GP-20. I think I might try my hand on the Tyco...If I ruin it, no big loss... 357
If I don't, I'll do the other two.

Any pointers..??
