My 7 1/4" gauge loco is on a temporary
track nailed to the crossties of a full-sized track. The engine in the background *is* full-size! Just to prove there is absolutely NO trickery involved, I include a shot from a slightly different perspective... ;-) Editor's Note: This is a perfect example of how using a low angle for your shot can make all the difference. Imagine yourself as a photographer 10 inches tall, taking a photo of your locomotive. |

Additional Info from the Alaska Railroad Diesel I wanted a winter shot for my business card. After a fresh snow fall, I unloaded my builders stand from the back of my pickup and sat it next to the fueling lead track. A white sheet was placed over the stand and Locomotive #1500 backed onto the stand. Evening sun resulted in this digital exposure about 8:15 PM. Of some 60 exposures, 5 were believable and became the fodder of April Fools traps, including a thank you note from railfans to the Alaska Railroad Corporation for the wonderful job of restoring #1500 to her original as delivered paint job. The locomotive was 17 years old at the time of the photograph. The body is a heavily modified (as in sectioned and choped) RR Supply car body with a Sundstrand variable swashplate pump and motor driven by a 5HP electric start Honda. Full cab detail includes the engineer, Gethro in the firemans seat and Jed Clampet, railfan, along for a cab ride. If you listen in you can hear the evening lineup on the radio as they prepare to make a run.
