Dear MRHers,

Was musing to myself about the history of proto RR photography, and the early colour-photo era. The use of "Kodachrome" film brought a very definite colour reproduction and impression to many railfans, and by-extension to modellers.

Knowing as we do that Kodachrome had a distinct "look" (whether that was accurate when compared to a Mk1 eyeball of a human standing trackside is an acknowledged variable),

Hi all - Just throwing this out there in the hope someone can help.

I'm waiting on a couple of Island Model Works Silverliner IV kits, really looking forward to starting on what promises to be a great little project. Should keep me going until Christmas...

Does anyone have, or know where I can get, a good quality overhead prototype photo of the Silverliner IV pantograph setup? I've pretty much exhausted Google images with no luck, for the first time ever.

Hey, everybody. I have a Roundhouse FMC boxcar kit that I plan to strip and re-paint for the Savannah State Docks RR (Georgia Ports Authority). A prototype photo is here.

I've long been a fan of transfer cabooses. Somewhere in my files I have LOTS of pics of this big variety of cars. And I have a number of them as well as kits for them, as well as flat cars, and other cars that might be kit-bashed into them.
 

So it was with an admiring eye that I spotted this one at a train show this weekend. Had to have it, whether it was prototypical or not.
