Caboose 505 trails the afternoon freight to Johnson City, Tennessee while passing through the rural community of Sadie. At the Grindstaff store, the old men ponder the "war across the water," circa 1943...

Thanks! I have a series of LED lights in a fixture where the old house light fixture was. It has one big LED in a done housing and 4 small aimable 'cans'.

The camera was laid onto a road surface on the layout and connected to a cable release. I took this shot as I usually do, with a 2-minute exposure. It solves most of the depth of field problems that way. This shot is a tad overexposed but I sort of like it. Looks like summer to me in the deep south!

I have to have shadows in the lighting, I know others like a diffused lighting look. But without shadows, it's not summertime, in my eyes.

I took this a few minutes later, of a spot I'd never photographed unutl recently but I really like the scene (especially since the front of the lens is actually in the shadow of a big tree, just barely seen on the left edge):

Very nice composition, Brian!

                         Those 3rd Rail D&H Alco PAs are sharp looking units! Thanks for posting.

Such a shame such a Tucker dealer never existed in real life. They only made 50 of them, you have at least 20% of the entire production run in this shot!

Patrick I think I have #50 I’ll take a pic of it lol 

Lee, what does that say on the side of the hood of that Model B?  I can see that it has the big hood and radiator, so it is obviously not a common gasser or Maxidyne diesel.  Would this one have a large block Cummins?

It’s a Mack B81 and it says Thermodye Diesel. Maxiidye engines came out later thanks
