I've stolen a picture from another forum. This one would be attributed to Herb Kelsey. There's a fellow on that forum that works for a narrow gauge railroad (of sorts). He complimented Herb for the "colorized picture".

Honest to Pete...

There are so many, either modelers or those involved in the industry, who have never seen a modern version of train simulator and wouldn't have a clue. They take a look at a shot like that, RGS 41 on a CCC special crossing Lightner Creek on 160A, and they say, "Wow, that's too good for a model and yet the colors are not 100% natural..." - something we have to live with while trying to create light - "...so I guess it must be a colorized photo of the real deal."

Maybe I should have done it grayscale. :bigboss:

Looks like an Otto Perry to me.

:rolleyes:

A nice, and well deserved, compliment, though.

That is a beautiful shot Herb. It looks equally good in black and white. Is that Bill Pratt's Engine? She sure looks nice on that trestle! :thumbup3:

Thanks for bringing that shot to our attention Charlie :rotfl:

Cheers All :drinks:

Yep, it is Bill's 41. Nice huh? :) :drinks:

For Sure! And the trestle looks fantastic too. I assume that and the passanger cars are your handywork which equally deserve recognition. :rotfl:

Given the stuff on the roof, I guessing that the passenger cars are Herb's repaints of a Uintah combine I built ages ago. I've been thinking about make a version of the model with the detail on the roof removed, but haven't gotten around to it.

The top pic looks like a oil painting to me, very nice! The B&W is good too - but makes the sky look threatening and ominous. But is surprising how MSTS and all really hasn't caught on. Either viewed by many still as a 'cheap game' or 'way too technical and time consuming to personalize it'. And off they go back to their N scale layouts and rail fanning books. It was nice to drive Marias Pass when MSTS first came out, but within the first hour or two, I knew I could make it better. And so many has done so much since then, it's really remarkable how many of these routes are looking now.

And we don't have to worry about get trampled and mace'd at a Wal-Mart to get them either. :rotfl:

Doug, those models have been invaluable for filling in the passenger car gap on many a narrow gauge railroad and in many colors! Thanks for putting it together and making it so easily modified - ie: flat sides without window/doors modeled on the car so that you can do any number of modifications to create specific cars.

If you ever do get around to modifying it, how about stretching it out one more window length to make it a full length coach? :rotfl:
