Change the gas station to a depot, and the Chevy to a 1949 Ford coupe, and you would have a scene from my youth. Nice photo - put more dirt on that locomotive.

Is the automobile 1/48? It looks like a larger scale to be so realistic.

REX, it’s actually a 7mm scale build by SMTS of England so it’s really not 1/48 or 1/43. These models are extremely limited hand builds imported by Route 66 Model Car Store in Illinois under the old brand Conquest Models Limited.

Thanks. For me, the beauty of the auto model elevates the scene.

The modeling is great but also skilled at getting the backdrop and lighting just right, too. Really cool.

The water looks so good in this shot that one could accuse of Photo-Shopping :)

It all looks real. The bridge is a work of art.

Thank you Bob

Rex, I tried another shot of another 47 Chevy with whitewall tires.

Denver in 25 minutes .

The Exposition Flyer flies past the small towns along the high plains into Denver early in the morning from its overnight dash from Chicago. E5’s still in skirts in 1947 clean and sleek wow the post war public including the fellow in the new Chevy on highway 2 east of Hudson Colorado.
