A couple of hours with the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad
I'm spending part of this week in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, on the Oregon Coast, with family. Sort of an annual getaway together.
Well, Rockaway Beach is where the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad makes it's northern stop before backing down back to Garibaldi. On the way here I'd spotted several pieces of equipment and made a mental note to head over to take photos later. Today, later came.... and it came in a big way.
Aerial views of MOW cars - great for weathering
A few of my fellow IAIS fans know of my fondness for modeling the railroad's MOW fleet. In fact, one of my planned near-term projects will involve patching and weathering IAIS ballast hopper 9719 and MOW flats 9001, 9003, 9010, and 9011. In order to help me, Erik Rasmussen took his drone up above a string of IAIS MOW cars tied down in Rock Island, IL, as well as one in Newton, IA a couple years ago, and got a bunch of really helpful aerial photos. Shortly afterward, Barry Anderson spotted a couple of IAIS's very cool ex-RI 53' GSC/GSI flats, sisters to the IAIS

Colorado Front Range Railroad - How to customize photo backdrops July 2019
Have you ever wanted to customize a Photo that you had for a backdrop. I show you one way using LARC Product, Photo backdrop to create a backdrop by combining two of the backdrops in to one. This can be used with your own photos or the LARC Product. Here are the links to the two products that I used but this should get you thinking what you can do for your railroad.
