Work in progress - an update


For most of this year, I have been working on finishing several areas of the layout and getting a couple magazine articles published. Many are aware that I have an article that just came out in Great Model Railroads 2026.


I recently submitted another article on my layout to Railroad Model Craftsman. This is tentatively scheduled to hit the stands around the last day of winter, 2026. I took a whole new series of photos, concentrating on this year’s work. 

 

I’m very pleased with the shots I took and sent to RMC. I will post those on Flickr when the RMC article is published. In the meantime,  I just finished a series of 17 photo stacked shots that are new or better retakes of pics I have up on Flickr. 

 

To see these go to my Flicker site:

I am really excited about the new photographs using the photo stacking program Affinity. The quality is much better. One can enlarge almost any small portion and still get a very crisp picture. A big step up from off the cuff, iPhone or handheld DSLR shots. 

 

Also note the use of my old (23 lb) Bogen 3036 tripod. I would not use that horizontal bar with anything less than this individually leg braced tripod

 


 
....This will set all the stage for moving forward on finishing and photo documenting the last major areas of my layout… which I get started on tomorrow!
