This shot of Y120 taken at East Rail is one of my favorites from the trip in January. It was an overcast morning which made for some lifeless lighting. No problem, I just cropped in a new sky. If only we could do that with real weather.

In the press as of late we have:
Interview on switching layout design for Ztrains.com. The topics covered apply to all scales.
I have an article in the August issue of Model Railroader on structure building as well as a photo in Andy Sperandeo's 'The Operators' column.
Coming up later in the summer is Kalmbach's Annual, More Layout In Less Space. I did one of the cover photos as well as an interior article. Order your copy HERE.
Finally, I did a number of chapters in Kalmbach's upcoming book, 'Scenery By The Seasons' Order you copy HERE
happened to go by the Florida Bottling Company and found a box car spotted just west of the loading platform and they were unloading pallets of bagged rice with a forklift. As you can see from the photos the truck was completely blocking the road, but no one seamed to really care. Now I know why a regular box car was spotted just west of the loading dock and was not refrigerated, they use the siding as a team track for other businesses when Fl bottling is not using the spot.
