Train Picture Gallery

The train picture gallery is divided into several sections, so you can view pictures from a specific railroad or subject. Some of the pictures are used in articles in the library and may be used in more than one series in the Gallery. Each section in the gallery is like a looping hallway that returns you to the main gallery. The picture pages have been chained together, so you can start with the first one in a series and advance from page to page using the right arrow at the bottom of each page to advance through the whole series. The last page will either let you come back to this main gallery or let you go to the home page. As time permits, I hope to place more information in the library along with more of the photographs that I have taken over the years. Remember that all of the photographs are copyrighted.

Photo CDs

I am updating all of the pictures in the Gallery as I scan my old slides with a new scanner. Each photo CD contains 40 high resolution (3,000 x 1,800 pixels) TIF files as well as the lower resolution (900 x 600) JPG pictures that appear in the Gallery pages. The disk number is at the end of the descriptive text on each updated picture page in the Gallery. You can purchase a disk and printout any of the pictures for your own use to dress up your train room or add color to a house that just cries out for more train pictures. Each photo CD cost $10.00. Please include the disk number in your order as there are over 80 disks available. See Sales for shipping and payment instructions.

I am rescanning all of my old slides. Since most people now have computers with screens that can display more than 640x480 pixels, I am increasing the size of the pictures in the Gallery to about 900x600 pixels. This work will take several years. The gallery is being reorganized. As newer series are added with the larger format pictures I will be removing the older series.

All of the photographs have been retouched to give greater visual impact. This process used to take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour per picture. However with a new slide scanner I can work much more efficiently. I won't go into all the processes it takes to make pictures look closer to the original.

In a similar way, Jesus wants to clean up our lives and improve our image. It takes time to eliminate these rough spots. But first you need to place yourself in His care. See my testimony page to read about my own experience. This page is rather long and may take awhile to load.
