(...) I've probably posted here more recently than you ;) (...) But of course. I've been almost tempted to post a few of my latest trains here (especially the CAD ones for old times sake) but I wasn't sure if there was anyone still reading .trains. (...)

(...) Just to add to the discussion, I find that if your camera supports it, long exposures can really make taking pictures of a primarily black MOC much easier.

(...) Hi Kurt, Great work on making a small working Shay. Very impressive engineering achievment. The models themselves pack in a lot of details too making them look as good as they work.
