No editing raw shot of a favorite model. I’ve always had an affection for this train.

Nice photos of prototype and your model. I assume this is a KEY or is this one of the newer 3rd Rail models?

Erik, your model train images are so realistic. In that last picture your simulation of a photograph taken with film as old as the Rocket is genius. A kind of reverse bokeh. The original Kodachrome film had an ASA speed of 10. I used to pan the camera to get sharp pictures of race cars using a 200 mm telephoto lens on an ancient Pentax camera loaded with Kodachrome. Of course, everything in the foreground and background looked like it was racing and the car was standing still. Bokeh from motion rather than focus.

It is Kevin Zwolinski's Jaguar XK120 Fixed Head Coupe.
