No problem with the shouting. I had my speakers turned off anyway :)
I've had several people send me comments about the small pictures. So, I
tried again and I've got a little better pictures for the side shots[1].
Also, I've added a few more comments and a couple of close-ups of the back
end of the engine.
I agree about the ugly notches in the train fences I used. I'd like to come
up with a better way to do the side rails. I'll post it if I find one.
I've also finally gotten around to posting pics of several other (non-train)
projects that I've done, so now you'll have to navigate through my index
page. Hopefully I didn't make it too hard. Just click on the little
picture of the BNSF engine and you should be there!

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback. I appreciate it.

[1] Speaking of the side shots, how do other people with digital cameras do
this? If I get close enough for the model to fill the image, its way too
close for the camera and its all out of focus.[2] But if I move back far
enough to get the camera to focus (3-4') the model is too small.
[2] This is referring to normal mode. This camera does have a macro mode.
That's what I used for the close up shots. But this is far too close to fit
the whole model in. I tried taking multiple shots in macro mode and putting
them together, but I had too many size and perspective problems with that.
What do other people do?[3]
[3] Figured foot notes were appropriate, seeing who I'm replying to :) [4]
[4] Are smiley's allowed in footnotes?
