Your kind words a much appreciated.

I only have 3 steam locos and they are all American prototypes. So here for @Rufusdog are a couple of scenes using 2 of them. Chippewa County, North Michigan mid-year 1959.

Thanks very much. I greatly appreciate your doing this.

I am enjoying looking at the detail on these scenes.

No camera expert here but I wonder if it would be possible to have the camera at ground level, maybe with the camera on the tracks.

@Paper Plane:
Have you every tried a 3D pen to help build any missing bits?
This video makes it look feasible for some props (embedding doesn't seem to be allowed):

Very cool - I love old trains especially those of a steam persuasion. Great work.

That's pretty amazing. 3D printing of parts, including bodies, is pretty common but I've never heard of anything like the example in the video, or the actual process using a pen.

One for our forum 3D printing experts!
