Paul,
That picture impressed me so much that I opened paintshop pro and practiced until I could do something similar. Here is the result.

Hey Colonel, I'm cheating and asking the question here, but... I went to your web site and checked out your layout goodies and signed your guest book. In the passing I noted you have used MDF for your benchwork top. I am using the same material, except mine is a maple laminate to it ( a deal from a contracter who rescinded on a deal). Have you had any problems with it. I am planning to use AMI to lay track since the material is so dense. Any regrets?

Colonel,

Looks like your pictures are not proportional in both directions, so that your engines looks elongated in one direction or another...

Hi Paul, I didn't use paintshop pro, I used Freehand9, a unique freehand drawing package which I also do my trackplans in.

Here's a drawing I did in Freehand9 some time ago

Paul,
You are obviously one of those disgustingly creative types who is capable of turning garbage into art work... How I envy you...keep up the good work.

[Paul Templar]

Thanks rsn48, It's taken me 64 years to get the best out of me :D and I'm still mad on trains, model or real ;)

That articulated is SUPPOSED to look elongated! Its 130 feet long. Bless your heart for posting something I understand! :D

Now I feel at home again.

I really like the way that pond looks.
Instead of having the ripple look like so many others, it has that very calm serene
look with a great reflection. Good work.
