Post your Train shots!

I have so many slides to scan, but am too lazy to start the task. I wish you luck in scanning yours Sandpatch. Maybe you will inspire me to start, but the procrastination bug is very strong with me. :shame:

It'd be great to see your slides. After a lot of deliberation, I've chosen to retire at year's end and I'll have some time to get serious about buying a scanner and getting down to it. I figure that I'll be done when I'm 115 Years Old. I don't want to ship my slides anywhere for fear of losing them and commercial scanning is pricey.

The Epson V600 scans 4 Slides at a time and costs $200. Epson V800 scans 12 Slides at a time at even better quality, but costs $640. I grimace at spending over three times the price for the V800, but it might be worth it for productivity's sake.

Happy retirement to you Sandpatch. I'm on my 3rd year of retirement & enjoying life. Hope to meet you trackside one day. :encouragement:

Thank you Chuck! Had my retirement gathering at work today. The room was decorated in Thomas The Tank Engine décor [] and the cake was just perfect! I've been blessed to work with excellent people for 35+ Years.

Taken yesterday in Pontiac, SC on the former Seaboard mainline. Weather is cold and clear, so much different than the warm and humid haze that usually prevails around here. Say, who put that phone pole in such a place as to cast a distracting shadow on the locomotive nose?

funny how the no nos get into processing software.
