I think I know what you mean. I tend to what to only photograph finished MOCs--
just a few great eye-popping shots that maximize the “wow” factor. The same for
pics of our layout. But personally, I find “under construction” pics rather
interesting in and of themselves, and so I have tried to be more “less
controlling” and snap shots of messy, unfinished scenes as well. And speaking
of, I just took some pics of my new (hmmm, dark red) building
“in situ” (lol, I just
had an idea-- I’m going to name that MOC the “HDR” building;-)
But on to YOUR layout, Jonathan-- very nicely detailed and polished work. These
are the sorts of projects that really turn my crank! With enough $$$ and the
resource of Bricklink, the sky really is the limit for creating whatever we want
(although I must chide you a bit for building with such great detail and then to
create...“6” wides????:-)
I hope you have considered portability during your construction (the first
iterations of our layouts certainly didn’t) so that you’ll be able to in
theory show them off in some sort of public exposition one day. If not, it’s
never too late to go back and change everything;-)
Keep up the good work (and the progpics:-)

You have to chide him for building in a superior width? Very odd...

You weren’t looking closely enough, his BNSF locomotive is a 7 wide...

I was harping on him about that. I want to see him come to the NMRA in Philly,
even if only what will fit on a (train) carryon...

I think I’ve convinced him to start doing more in progress stuff... he has a
tripod already and a nice Nikon with timer, macro, and flash
control/suppression, that’s all you need.

The timer is the poor man’s remote control, it gives you 10 seconds to do
whatever...

It gave us 10 seconds to get in the picture. . .

I feel my 6 wides are slightly beefier than most. . .with the exceptions of the
subway cars which are indeed to narrow. Either way, I stil have a lot of
growing to do with building trains. After all, I am (was?)a townie, trains are
still new to me.

Yeah, I thought about portability before I constructed the tables. I decided I
was OK with a non-portable set-up. I don’t own a car and really don’t know of
anywhere I’d need or want to take things, here anyway.

Keep up the good work (and the progpics:-)

Will do, and Thanks!
