Layout Photos

June 11, 2002

Part of the fun of model railroading is checking out how it looks. 
Photos are the best way to "see" your layout.

Conclusion:

I can see it's going to take some light bending techniques 
to control those shadows under that upper bookcase.

Premise:

Down near the Sac Valley junction with the Frisco 
there are tracks for doing business with Shannon Elevator and Davis Packing.  
It's a hot summer afternoon in the Ozarks as the afternoon local brings in a 
refrigerator car (reefer) for Davis Packing. 

It presents a golden opportunity for the local photo bug to document the going's on.

Funny thing how those new 'M' Farmalls and the one John Deere seem to keep moving around isn't it?

#4011 sets patiently in the sun as the afternoon wears on. 
The packing house employees hurry to prepare for the reefer 
being delivered by the local with GP-35 #702.
A closer view of # 4011
Let's get a bit closer to those tractors. 
I bet the local machinery dealer is paying that photographer.
Now they have moved the tractors between the tracks!
Those tractors look to be new.
Here we see the local pulling out after dropping off the reefer.
