Wayne,

Great pics and nicely done, that had to involve quite a bit of time?

Bruce

Thanks Bruce. Yeah, it took a lot more time than it should have. The first batch of pictures had quite a few that were badly out-of-focus, so I decided to re-shoot them. Unfortunately, some of the rolling stock had been returned to its boxes, so I was running back and forth between the layout and the pictures on the monitor trying to get the right order using the right cars. As I replaced the old photos with the new, I was re-numbering the new ones so that everything would remain in the proper order within the file. That way, I could keep them in order going into photobucket, making the placement of them here a simple matter. As I was composing the thread, I came across a re-shot photo that had the order of the cars mixed-up so it was back to the layout again, at the same time screwing-up the order of those photos which had already been placed in photobucket. I also ended up with two different photos of the same cars in the limestone train, and didn't discover it until I had posted the thread. Some of those pictures aren't very good, as this camera seems ultra sensitive to the slightest vibration. I took over a dozen shots for that last Barney Secord photo before I accidentally discovered the "delay" function for the shutter - otherwise, even using a tripod, pressing the shutter made every shot look like it was seen through Barney's inebriated and bloodshot eyes. There are still some shaky-looking shots included, but I just attribute them to that second piece of pie and the heat of that long day.
I knew that the thread was too long when it couldn't be posted in one, or even two shots, and I've heard that folks on dial-up have placed me on a "hit list", and it's not the top 40.

Another classic to add to the library ---great job Doctor Wayne

Thanks, Ed. I should've had you here with your camera - probably could have gotten better photos and in less time.
