        Can you provide some closer shots that show some detail?

          Yes they will be coming in time probably next week as I have som much real life work on - this is just a fun project!

          I will probably post a single close up tomorrow if I have time of the first car.

                  This is a personal project and I have a big conference I am speaking at on Thursday so have a lot of prep work to do and soon after I am giving a course on digital publishing so even more prep.

                    A bit closer. Still lots to do. The carriage system is modular so it can be reconfigured to carry freight. Its based on something I did a few years back: http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles22/397139/projects/4865901/861ae42054bda2539cd13d56377b9f0e.jpeg

                      I meant why so long to railroad completion (2054)! LOL I don't mean YOU have to hurry on your model! πŸ˜„ We could really use one of those out here on our West Coast and soon.

                      and...it's looking good!
