    I don't think those noisy steam contraptions will ever replace a trusty team of mules. Mark my words!

    I love watching and listening to traction engines! We have a friend who owns and shows one.

    Gilmore gas station

    [​IMG]On Highway 66, crossing the mainline. The crossing lights are controlled by infrared detectors and circuitry from AZATRAX. There is a restored Gilmore station at the Los Angeles Farmer's Market, and this was scratchbuilt using the building as a reference by my friend Tom Cataldo.

    Candy, your attention to the details from your youth are outstanding....lovely scene, as always. The red-headed lass in the yellow shorts is you, right?

    Another Rail Camp at the Rosenberg Railroad Museum wrapped up today. These were older kids than last week. And many of them have modules from previous years and brought their own trains to run. A great time was had by all.

    Nice job, Russell. I see what looks like an inside corner. To me that means someone is really serious and developing more skills.

    I like the details, like the debris and litter in the street next to the sidewalk. And there's a certain charm to the era you model.

    Thanks Mike. I use old photos I find online and try to capture what I see. To me, it must be believable

    Nice camera angle. You sure do a great job of picking out these viewing angles.
