These were taken with a three megapixel Olympus D550 Zoom and a five megapixel Vivitar 3935. Something for the Union Pacific fans out there. This is a work in progress, it still has a long way to go. Here's about 3/4's of my locomotives. This one's usually a good draw, the abandoned steamer. A pair of E7's. Check out the rust on the white one. One of my GP38-2's. #4099 of the Gateway Western Railway, now owned by KCS. One of my two SD40-2's. KCS #666, and yes, there's a prototype for it. One of my two Atlas Interlocking towers. KCS #4030, a road slug. There are three shots of this crane car. Look for the flaking rust on the boom. Here's a car I've been working on. The roof walk has been removed and I'm getting to move the brake wheel down. Look at the peeling paint on the car end.

The Olympus is rather easy to use. I gaurantee that anybody learning to use it will botch the first dozen photos. The Vivitar was a b***h to figure out! At first I couldn't get ANY close-up shots that were worth anything, then I found the macro command hidden in the menus. It takes good close-ups but I have to be about a foot away from the subject. With the Olympus I can get right up to four inches away! Unbelievable close-ups!

No. It's a decal from Blair Line.
