Enjoy.
Thanks again Dave.
Enjoying it I am

Great pictures - Thanks!
I love that black and white night photo at the depot. It looks so much like a historical photo. Nothing gives it away as a contemporary scene.
Nice!
Awesome shots.
I got a couple more pics done. Work and my business keep getting in the way of my train time.

Nice! That last shot is really stunning.
Yes, a great calender shot.
A couple more pics from my Chama Adventure.

I think Dave has enough “calendar” shots for several years worth of calendars
Ralph
Thanks for the compliments guys. Actually I may have one sold for a commercial calendar for 2015 as 2014 went to press in July. I am thinking of self printing a few of the 315 @ Chama excursion for self and a few friends. They do make a good Christmas gift. We will see how much time I have on my hands to get it done. I am a little picky on my self when it comes to prints, and the ones in the past that I made, I made them so that the prints could be removed and framed on their own.
I’ve got a few more shots from the Chama trip to work up, I’ll post them when I manage the time to finnish tweaking.

Dave, is that “finnish tweaking” different from “Norwegian tweaking?” Enquiring minds want to know.
Dave,
Your work is fantastic. If you decide to produce your own calander im sure there would be lots of interest. I’d surely buy one!
Bob
I don’t care if it’s Finnish tweaking or Norwegian tweaking, just so long as there’s no twerking involved.
A couple more pics from the great Chama Adventure.

Wow Dave,

Unfortunately, I have no vacation time left

Can anyone explain why it is being called The Great Locomotive Swap? There are no details on that page beyond train times and ticket prices.
And BTW - Great pictures Dave!
