Great to see you are in the “Futzing Phase”. I think the most enjoyable part and you’re now having time to do it. Pretty cool!
As far as the “big acreage and big sky” feeling, I think Marty Cozad was the one that got many of us looking at what was in the background of a picture and how to enhance and expand on that idea. Except for that old yellow school bus in the neighbor’s field, his pictures could give you a real “Memorex Moment”.
Space and the view/angle of the picture can real give “the diorama view” to any shot. Nothing makes it look real like natural sunshine and I think that was what the large areas promotes. However, packing a lunch to run a model train, is another subject. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)
You’re right, Ric. I know I have plenty to do with repairs to the buildings, especially the roofs, but I save that for winter. And there’s still the bridge approaches that have me stymied at the moment, but it’s runnable and reliable, which is all I was looking for. But, I still can’t just sit and watch a train go round as I had planned to do yesterday. I had to go along with it and drop cars off here and there.
As for the “Memorex Moment”, that wasn’t really part of the plan, but if works, who am I to argue…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
