And yes it’s all fake, they are miniatures not real trains. In this capture this CB&Q scratch built coaling tower stands proudly with my PFM L77 DRGW 2-6-6-0. Trackwork is all hand laid.

Yeah, and the smoke and steam are pretty fantastic too. Very nice diorama and photograph.

The second is my favourite of the two. Very evocative.
No-one ever forgets where they buried the hatchet.

That's the right word.
Time for me to do another Cab Forward. I think the boiler and frame are on display behind something in the garage.
