Cumbres and Toltec engine house panorama
We used to shoot a lot of pictures with a Kodak panorama camera. Basically, you loaded it with 35mm film and each picture was double the width of a normal shot. It wasn't a very sophisticated camera - it was basically just a point-and-shoot - but when the lighting conditions were right, it could take a good picture. Not so much with these two, but further rummaging turned them up, and they give a bit of an idea of what sort of rolling stock was around the engine house.
This modeler is good but he should know not to put everything square with the backdrop. I'm surprised he made the parking lot so big; he could've tightened that up considerably. The vehicles are realistic but why did he pose all the railroad action in the rear of the layout? And yes, I'm kidding.
