Model Train Photography

A majority of the HO scale models I've worked on since 2003 including MRL, BNSF, & many other prototypes. Most of the images here have been captured at the California Southern Model Railroad Club in Norwalk, CA. www.CaliforniaSouthern.org There are numerous additional galleries showing off various other modeling events I have attended over the years.

Phil and myself started the Cal Sou in 1983 meeting for dinner on friday nights dreaming about a club layout. I lasted until 1986 when there was a disageement among us. The layout looks nice now, with scenery in mind, not just a spagetti bowl. I am out of the area now but who knows about the future. Keep up the good work.

Hi Robert : When you did your engains head lights with DCC what resistor did you use ? The guy at the Train Shoppe said to use a 810 resistor with 1/2 watt for the front lights. I dont know of any one that puts lights in engain here.

Hi Robert : I just wont to say Thank you for your help on the color of the MRL hand rail blue . Have a great week from Neil Schwerdt in SLC utah .

Neil, I would suggest either PollyScale "CSX Blue" (F414221) for a acrylic choice, or Model Master "Blue Angel Blue" (FS15050) for an enamel base.

Nice Job, very nice Great job on the detail. I model the SP on a 19 by 56 layout so I know the hard work that you have put in to your model railroad. I can only say Great JOB!

Well, I've got a few load up here alreadyhttp://www.pbase.com/mrmrl/misc_pix&page=all but I guess I could start a new gallery...

Robby, Could you please post photos of your MRL rail cars that your have. I think that they should be just as important to show off along with your engines.
Robert Forsstrom21-Feb-2009 12:20
Of what? There are some newer photos in the MRL Action gallery. What would you like to see? - Robby F.

It is so cool how you do the detaling. the warbonnets have dirt and rust on them and patches. I LOVE IT. all these other model railroads have power that has no rust or dirt or any weathering and then it looks so fake which is why i like it when modlers like YOU but AWSOME WEATHERING on their trains. all of your power and cars looks great and i love the scenery.i someday want to have a layout similar to yours. i'll have intermodals running led by LMX leasers and BN GP50s.

Cool stuff and a great job on the paint and detailing!?What color BLUE do you use or what color BLUE would you mix using Folquil paints?
Brandon Henderson 12-Dec-2007 03:05
PLEASE! Please post more vids of your layout on YouTube! Your layout and power are amazing, why not show them off a little more? lol
