Wow, looks great Kyle! Those metal cars really reflect light well. It makes for a neat night scene.

All you need now is a bunch of railfans at the end of 1 of the platforms taking pics!  And a couple of "Bar Carts" selling Beer to the commuters.  |

Yes!!!! Awesome shot and scene!! Seriously, the lighting really acts to frame certain elements, this is one of my new favorites! I like how on the left, the darkness brings out the lit interior and all of the work that you did on those. The lighting above really brings out the stainless steel of the cars, as well as the detail on the retaining wall. On the right end, the red marker/signal light makes it look like a genuine busy station scene. I also really like how the lights reflect off of the tracks and platforms! Great scene! Do you mind if we use this for the next header photo for the website? P.S. Your photo reminds me of this real life shot: www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=551805&nseq=15 |

AC Blowers in the background at track level.

Finally figured out how to upload some pics. Getting ready move into a new larger home in the next few weeks and figured I'd take a pic of the Amtrak locomotive fleet before I box them up. Way too many passenger cars to photograph!  From left to right: (2) Proto Amtrak E8's BLI GG1 Bachmann E60CP Proto Metroliner, Phase II set (not pictured is the Penn Central Metroliner Set) Rapido LRC Atlas AEM-7 Rapido FL9 Rapido F40PH OMI P32ACDM Athearn F59PHI Bachmann HHP-8 (2) Kato P42 Atlas Dash 8-32BHw Atlas GP7 Bachmann Acela Not Pictured: Rapido Amtrak Turbo Train And that's not including the regional commuter fleet (Metro North, NJ Transit, SEPTA, LIRR, and the NYCTA subway cars I accumulated. I'll photograph and post those after I move. Amtrak locomotives still to be eventually hunted down: Atlas Amtrak GP40 Atlas Amtrak Dash 8-32BHW (Pepsi) w/DCC & Sound BLI SW1200 Atlas MP15 Amtrak locomotives looking forward to in 2016/17: Rapido F40PH w/Ditch lights (Phase IV hopefully) Rapido F40PH "Cabbage" Athearn Genesis SDP40F (Phase II) Athearn Genesis FP7 (Phase I) Another run of Kato P42 locomotives, hopefully in Phase III & IV. Atlas AEM-7 (Phase III & V) |

 My Amtrak Veteran's unit finally entered service earlier this month on the Pennsylvanian. It just coupled with the train in Philadelphia. |

Kyle, the scenes look good! It's still hard to believe that the AEM-7s are almost gone!
P.S. I don't think the link for your veterans unit picture is working right
