I promised some new content been so busy the last 2 years and recently with the kids. I’ll see if I can edit some new stuff today! Thanks Dave for the nice comment it’s always a privilege.

Doing some re edits for someone I thought I’d share my bliss with the thread here.

backlit along the river who can’t resist a shot of that, it’s been said among my clan here along the old C&S Denver Sub to Cheyenne that no the C48s never ran up to Fort Collins but they did on my layout! ☺️😂

From the low shadows at Derby, CO the CB&Q Denver/Chicago Limited is passing track speed to Chicago on its way near Barr Lake.

Ice Cold Coca-Cola anyone?

My initial reaction a few minutes ago when I saw the OP was: are you kidding me that these photos are of models, not the real thing?

IMO, the photos in the original post by Erik back in 2016 are outstanding. The trains, structures and scenery look so real. Arnold

Hey Arnold, thanks for the post here.

I’ve been at this at least since 2009, Ken Patterson since 1980s when he inspired me to photo my models when I was kid 1980s. I’ve always been excited about his stuff; I don’t think he likes me as I’ve reached out to him with no luck many times over the years but I’ve learned a lot seeing his amazing stuff like virtually every cover of Mainline Modeler since 1983 or so not to mention countless advertising gigs with everyone from Athearn to Bachmann. I’m glad you enjoy the pictures. OGR is very generous allowing me to share here and the OGR forum is one of the best sources to share online in model railroading it’s a strong platform that the Google bots always find.

Eric,

What do you like better, photography or model trains. You are outstanding at both.

Still working on the LT&N!  

Happy Summer everyone.

Eric, I just wanted to say your imaging talents are outstanding. Thanks for sharing all those great pictures.

You know ..... OGR would like to see more submissions of 2-rail articles and layouts.  After all, the name is "O Gauge Railroading Magazine" and so we welcome TWO and THREE rail O gauge articles!!

Erik ... as usual fantastic work and very hard to tell if your modeling is "real or Memorex" (hope you all remember those days LOL!)

Thank you Mr Arnold, it’s so nice to hear from you. 👍

Thanks guys! Always a privilege to hear from you guys!

Excellent!

Thanks again Coach!
