Newbie - District 22 - Downtown L.A. (A table top railway)

Before posting a couple more shots, I think I should point out that everything I have planned here has been influenced by those wonderfully atmospheric black & white shots taken by Mr. Greg Loskorn, and even though my creation will be somewhat microscopic, I shall try and make everything as protoypical as possible using his shots as a reference.

For instance, trains shall enter stage left via the old Santa Fe brick canyon before crossing the road and into an alleyway as here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=146523255371491&set=a.146523108704839.22038.133337953356688&type=3&permPage=1">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... permPage=1</a><!-- m -->

I also adore the simplistic nature of these rather unusual (for LA) telegraph poles in this shot of Greg's <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=146523312038152&set=a.146523108704839.22038.133337953356688&type=3&permPage=1">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... permPage=1</a><!-- m --> and I just have to incorporate them somewhere. And as for these <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=146523272038156&set=a.146523108704839.22038.133337953356688&type=3&permPage=1">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... permPage=1</a><!-- m --> wow!! Pure heaven.

Finally, I've recently discovered and admired the work of this photographer EMD 111, and this shot of theirs just does it for me <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/emd111/3692550760/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/emd111/3692550760/</a><!-- m -->
The air of dereliction is simply overwhelming.
