Large Scale Central

Duplicating a photo

This summer I have been adding scenery to a couple sections of the layout and the thought hatched of trying to duplicate a prototype photo on the railroad.

For this one Bob loaned me his Goose #5

The prototype photo.

The model

While not quite right I had fun doing it.

Unfortunately, I can’t see the proto photo. The model looks great though.

It’s close enough for backyard railroading.

A pretty close match, Stan… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Well done Stan. I even know where that spot is(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Stan,

So I do not need to bring mine next w/e? sounds good.

Sorry to bring it up, but I still can’t see the proto pic. After clicking the link it reads: “Permission denied: links to files in the forum are only allowed from this web site.”

Joe, I think the problem is on your end.

I see the prototype picture and the link opens it for me as well.

He don’t care what you think and neither do I dad!

So with that said…I’ll have to suck it up and agree is pretty darn close! However he missed the super elevation needed for Amtrak trains (as shown in the original photo) !

Very nice Stan !

Joe

The problem you are having might be lack of a cookie problem.

Try going first to the narrow gauge discussion forum and then try the link to the photo again.

Lets try a second one. Perhaps others on the forum would like to try this on their railroad with their favorite photos. I had a lot of fun doing this.

The following is 463 entering Mud tunnel on the C&TS

My attempt to duplicate it.

Stan

Earlier today, I could see the proto picture, tonight I cannot… same computer same browser… some kind of rights issue.

Greg

The proto photo has been there for me all the time. (Mac/Safari)

When I first log into this topic, the Proto pic wasn’t there… But I could see it by the link…

same with the second entry…

However, when I log back into the topic the second time, the proto pic also shows…

And, No, I haven’t changed any settings on my computer…
