TrainNut Loc: Ridin' the rails

I was wondering if anyone else on here models HO scale narrow gauge trains.
If so what do you model?
Rio Grande?
Freelance?
Or some other prototype?

Please post photos if you have any.

My camera will not focus up close, I need a better one. I put it on my list.

One of the things I would love to do. And HO is the only scale to use, IMHO.

But I have a wife. And she thinks I'm a bit loony as it is.

"And she thinks I'm a bit loony as it is."
And she is right. :roll: :lol:

I am blessed because my wife likes trains as much as I do. :D

I have seen some of his work before. He is great. Thanks. :thumbup:

Miniatures are very hard to photograph. Macro photography is too small. It is great to learn all the different techniques.
Lighting and depth of field are very difficult.
