I think I know why your pictures come out "yellow". You need to set the lighting type before you take the picture (if you're still using Bryans camera). Is it a Canon or Nikon?

And for those of you taking notes, this is why I haven't made any progress on my layout....

I wish I could make some spending cash while not working on mine!

I shot those with the little Nikon L20.  I haven't been able to master close ups with Bryan's yet.  I don't think the lens on it is well suited to macro work.

For the L20: from Auto Mode => MENU (shooting menu) => WB (white balance) then select whatever the lighting scenario truly is for the location of the shot. Auto WB is the bane of most camera's existence. Try some more shots without AUTO white balance and see if that remove's the yellow hue. Bryans camera should have the similar setup, however you may need to set it to M-mode (Manual) to adjust the WB/Lighting.

It's the same deal on some of the Canons.  I have to set my SD1200 to "Program/Manual" for decent white balance - which includes changing about 15 settings.  Of course, they auto-reset the moment some one flips the master switch to "Auto".  :'(

Suddenly, changing the steps, walkways, and modifying the cab sides on my LL 0-8-0 dosent seem quite so big a project. Very nice so far, the step by step pics and descriptions have given me some ideas!
