Bob Treat photographs the layout!

I haven't posted many entries here recently but I have been working hard on finishing the layout.  While there is always room for more buildings and details I have arrived at a point where I am happy to show it off.  I talked my friend, Bob Treat, an award winning model railroad photographer, in to photographing it for me.  Here are a few of the photos that resulted.  We took the photos outdoors which made for some great light and nice backgrounds.  Dave Balser loaned me some rolling stock for the photo shoot from his Onion Valley.

My favorite shot.  A freight is set to leave Sausalito while the romantic couple on the swamp walkway watch. The locomotive is owned by Dave Balser.

The switcher has finished unloading the barge.  Captain Tiny will soon be parking the sternwheeler and waiting for a new load.

The train is passing the Dead Rail Hotel - a great place for recharging your batteries.

We have arrived at Duncan's Mills.

The tail track for Duncan's Mills yard crosses this creek in the woods.

There's always repair work to be done on the railroad.  Although this fellow seems to be more interested in watching the switching than getting the job done.
