Apologies if I have posted this before. This was taken in a friends sheet metal shop. Controls for the big hulking sheet metal shear.

I bought a Sirui tripod on a very good sale from B&H. Keep an eye out there for sales and also their used equipment section. Sign up for email updates from them. Be warned some of the deals that may show up in your inbox are very tempting. I have a Mefoto travel tripod that I bought ten years...

A good tripod will last a very long time. Yes they cost more, but if you figure how long a good one lasts it's not that much. A cheap tripod will most likely need replacing in short order plus it won't work well. Tripods Today

Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos guys. Life has severely gotten in the way and it's been a year or so since I pointed a lens in the direction of a train. When I can I'll be trackside again.

I moved from Nikon's to Fuji's. Enjoyed my Nikon SLRs and DSLRs , but I'm loving my Fuji's. I would like to try a Nikon mirrorless, but the cost of admission is holding me back. I'm sure you could tweek the Nikon files to give you any look you'd like.

They are amazing machines for sure. The brain power to figure out the construction of those is quite something. Except check out that parking brake, certainly old school. ;)

Rocket ship inspired styling of the 50's. Perfect shot Sandpatch.

A different time to be sure. Before the invention of spray paint.

Very nice photos Sandpatch. I like the black and white, very much.

Beautiful Frog Eye Sprite Sandpatch. Makes me miss mine, although that was more than 50 years ago. Where does the time go?

Easy to see why it got that name. I wonder if that locomotive was once a Southern unit. I believe Southern used a lot of locomotives long hood forward. Great catch Sandpatch. (y)

Wow what a structure! Great picture Sandpatch. What railroad used it?

Those are great! Congratulations, very well done.
