Incredible photo!  Did you use a focus stacking program?  Really well composed shot.

Nothing fancy....point and shoot with cell phone or iPad camera. Some shots are great, most ok, some suck

This side of A. Boreland Furniture is pretty cramped....railroad insisted on a fence to keep vehicles from encroaching on the right-of-way...

Detailed another Bachmann RS3...grabs, air hoses, cables, sunshades, bell and air horn....

Grabs don’t look so good, hard to work thru the pilot handrails..... they’ll look better when painted and weathered

Yeah, that fence wouldn’t keep the railroad from encroaching on the furniture building.

i waited for 45 minutes for this train show up, it started to drizzle and i got cold so packed it in.  i heard it blowing for the crossing just as i hit pavement down the ridge.  you must have been in that pickup i saw racing up the gravel road.  great shot!

I use copper wires to represent hoses for pilot detail...these units are run as a pair exclusively, so I bent the wires to look connected





Convincing from a foot away as they roll by....

Come on...you didn’t finish that today.   :D
That looks really nice and very recognizable as a small rural filling station.
