[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 732426, member: 10543"] Yes, I found a local road off US-17 that went over the railroad and it was perfect. This is a fast railroad, level and straight. I love the old pre-PTC Darth Vader signals. I shot with my Dad's old Nikon EL-2 for a number of years and it worked well … until I forgot that I wrapped it my winter jacket to keep it safe from rolling around in the car. I stopped for a shot and absent-mindedly grabbed my jacket, only to have the EL-2 roll out, fall to the ground and break. :mad: My girlfriend thought it was pretty funny. She didn't understand the cost of repairing it. We didn't date much longer. :eek: Christmas was weeks away and my Dad took pity on me and gave me the Nikon N2020 for my gift. I never owned any Nikkor AF lenses to use with it and stuck with my old Nikkor glass. It was a great camera, went everywhere in all kinds of weather and never failed me in many thousands of shots. I never dropped it either. :) [/QUOTE]
