Running the railcar means that you CAN have a diesel, but don't have to have a horrendous timeshift that would probably result in your branchline having become a cycle path. 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kevin, You could always run a modern image version of the layout with the branch as a preserved line? All you would need for a simple version is a gate across the connection from the mainline to the branch and a couple of lengths of fencing which you make removable for running in normal (1930s) mode. Then, if you found the idea growing on you , things could progress to a few diesels and the Town Station buildings could have a few modern add ons, such as removable modern signs? Just saying?? Cheers Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Thanks I've changed the way I have been taking my pictures recently resulting in getting a sharper and more focused picture. The camera is still on Post Focus but now on Aperture priority setting with the ISO on auto. Gone back to the lighting rig set up to give the camera even more light to play with. This is the set up now. The funny thing is that the picture seen on the camera was scrapped as I spent so much time setting this all up that I hadn't spotted the front bogie was off the track until I came to work on it....so that was actually six pictures in total deleted because I hadn't checked at the time........!!!! 3 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simond Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The techniques you use are clearly effective. I must complete the ground cover on my locoshed, and borrow the photo lighting stands from work, and then try to copy... the stand you have has a coiled compact fluorescent? No flash as well? ta Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I do love the clarity of your pics, I tend to take mine when I'm having a running session, so many times Trains are actually moving, so I lose the sharpness. Superb as ever Kevin. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted August 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2020 That’s a serious lighting rig there @KNP, great to see it in context. But of course, it’s no wonder your photos are so good. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted August 2, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2020 None of my pictures are tampered with my dear sir.....they might be 'tweaked' but never tampered with.
