We are now in my home darkroom. The is a Beseler 23CII enlarger used to enlarge negatives. I share this room with the furnace and peg boards for hand tools.

This upcoming rail-fanning season I have plans go back to film. I will be doing a few show-and-tells on how this is done.
Every model railroader started out rail-fanning!
Hope to see you out rail-fanning and posting your images on “Rail-fanning on The OGR Forum”. Any day and time. 😎
