I'm starting a new thing that has to do with small scenes and the stories that go with them. With that thinking........ I am starting here with a photo series that will show some street scenes around the railroad and tell a story. Some tell themselves and I will comment on others as to how I got some stuff done.
My railroad is small enough that I cannot create any illusion of distance for my operators. In trade for that, I have chosen to give them lots to look at while driving the trains.
I am going to show many of these in the next days that seem to have multiple vantage points of the same subject as it is the only way to really show what is going on and tell the story.
To start with then..............
Here is a look at a drive shaft repair on a Shay locomotive. It is a static Keystone model that got pressed into service. There is a mix of people sitting and visiting and others who look like they are doing something that can be identified.
These are a mix of Preiser, Weston and Woodland Scenics people.
