I'm relatively new to the forum. Just wanted to share a few photos from my 1:87 scale model railroad. This Mississippi Stern Paddlewheel is pulling into the town of Creedence Clearwater (all of my cities/towns have names of old rock bands). The model has full lighting and a complete sound system built into it. You hear the whistle, the band (Proud Mary, but with a Dixieland beat), the steam boiler operating and general harbor noises. In the second picture, I tried to capture the flicker from the boilers. This was a wooden kit - strip wood and photo etched brass. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Stunning Mike, she looks an absolute dream....Drool Drool Love the backdrop you have created too.... Think I'm going to enjoy following your work, very well done indeed.....Cool Cool

A little tip, if you resize your pics to 600x400 pixels you will find the pics appear on your post and will not need to be downloaded by members to view them..... If you are unsure how to do this then hopefully the link below will give you an idea....
