These were taken with a three megapixel Olympus D550 Zoom and a five megapixel Vivitar 3935. Something for the Union Pacific fans out there. This is a work in progress, it still has a long way to go. Here's about 3/4's of my locomotives. This one's usually a good draw, the abandoned steamer. A pair of E7's. Check out the rust on the white one. One of my GP38-2's. #4099 of the Gateway Western Railway, now owned by KCS. One of my two SD40-2's. KCS #666, and yes, there's a prototype for it. One of my two Atlas Interlocking towers. KCS #4030, a road slug. There are three shots of this crane car. Look for the flaking rust on the boom. Here's a car I've been working on. The roof walk has been removed and I'm getting to move the brake wheel down. Look at the peeling paint on the car end.

Very nice pictures. I might suggest that you weather the ladder sitting against the steam engine. It gives it a more human element as it displays an element of something that has set for years, left by those who parked the engine, and it hasn't been touched since. I got that feeling when I was able to be the first to touch a stone tool that had been buried for almost a thousand years.

Weather an almost new ladder? It was only left there overnight by a few history buffs who are looking into restoring the old engine.

I like the night shot of that tower, and the dusk one is great too.
