Just brilliant!

Thanks all for the nice comments, sometimes I spend more time taking photos than running trains. My own little Utopian world.

They look really good Grant. Nice clean sharp photos. Thank goodness for your work, in my opinion, you capture the scene perfectly, you could easily pass for a professional photographer.

In think the slightly bleached look from the strong sunlight chimes with my idea of how an Australian rural community might appear. That's not based on experience (yet), but just a sort of gut feeling.

Thanks for sharing these Grant.

I often think that the most difficult photos to make realistic are those with no rolling stock in them. I also think they are the often the very best when they work out. You've absolutely cracked it with these!
