Reply to "a picture a day...."

There were a series of color shots taken on the ET&WNC sometime around 1940 or 1941, the rights for which to even make a print were insanely expensive. Some Australian guy on eBay has been offering prints of them in A4 format (a little longer than a normal US sheet of paper). I bit the bullet and ordered most he had available.

I got them yesterday and last night, I trimmed most of them down to 8X10, and hung a few in the layout room. These are shots I've never seen before in a good format.

One replaced a bad jpeg image, above some builder plates:

Another replaced a shot of a caboose, above the train memo board:

Two others are flanking a print of a John Krause photo of the final run of the Tweetsie at Hampton, one I think was somewhere near Cranberry NC and the other is in the Doe River Gorge (as is the b/w shot to the right of it, purchased from another eBay vendor before the pandemic)

I still need a place for the bottom right one, taken at the water tank in Elizabethton:

I really like this one from the Doe River Gorge, near Hampton, TN. I've stood at this very spot:
