I’m starting to get jealous of your gig. Many of the layouts you share look just like places I’ve either been or would like to see.
Wow. This looks really realistic. Very cool.
Those are very dramatic bridges. Quite impressive.
ooo just gorgeous, my youngest is a train nut! he would love it.
Hi Randall! How is it going this week?
Gee, you made it as #2 on the WW list!
I am 112, sounds like an engine number huh?
As always, a great work of art all those tunnels, mind you the electric work on the rails.
Hope you can stop by mine.
Have a great day.
This one looks very good. It looks almost like the real thing. In fact for the first 5 seconds I was asking myself if it is real.
looks very real, I had to take a second look! happy WW!
Oh dear, I hope they don’t collide! Love your trains and their settings.

The cliffs looks so realistic! Reminds me of either its the Knotsberry farm or Disney land train ride. Is’s been so long i can’t remember which, just kind of takes me half way back
They look so real, you are too good at it.
Cool rail road model. Reminds me how we played choo-choo train years ago. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Happy WW!
That setting amazes me, Randall, and so does the lighting.
WOW!! How incredible. That must have been extremely time consuming to make. Beautiful!
Happy WW!
Excellent layout and photo! I am kind of glad it’s only a model train - I would be nervous on such a high bridge. What if a rock fell on the tracks?
Very cool picture! Trains are awesome.
It took me a second to realize that isn’t real. Great job!
Fine rail road model and great picture!

This is great! What love and devotion to create this wonderful panorama!!
This is Beautiful.
Amazing as always… they always look so realistic!
Have a great WW!
Just Some Thoughts
Randall, this is a great picture. I love the way you framed it with the mountains and the tree in the foreground. Nice job.
This week’s entry looks life like. Great image!
My son loves looking at your pictures! It’s amazing!
Uh oh … is this an accident waiting to happen or a near miss? Your models are so realistic! Well done … and thanks for dropping by Small Reflections. I’m so far behind on blog visits from the past week that I may never catch up, but I’m doing my best and am relieved that NEXT week I won’t have PSE6 classes so catching up may be possible ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
Wow, that’s good!
OK, this is my favorite one of your posts yet! I love the ponderosa pines up on the ridge.
So, one train is coming and one is going, right? This isn’t one of those “moments before catastrophe” shots?
As two have asked, no this isn’t an impending train wreck. One is stopped while the other passes.
By the way, this is Z scale. That means the locomotives are approximately the size of a pack of gum.
A beautiful picture! I like this site very much, you always post great photos!
Thanks for dropping by.
My post…
Hi Randall- thanks for coming by my blog and the kind words about my Dad. My son has been to your blog several times he loves the trains. That would be son #3- I am hoping we can make it to Day Out With Thomas again this year- some of the model trains there are great.
Gorgeous shot as always… but is it my imagination, or are those trains about to collide?
Is this one from the Addams Family collection?
So far, this is my favourite! Astounding detail and it looks like it would be great to run on!
Ooo, scary stuff!
OOO, scary stuff!
LOL - I love your WW posts. I wonder if I’m secretly a model train fan? Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.
Great shot! Nice “aerial” view. Looks like you took it from a helicopter. I guess that’s the idea, right?!
Very cool. I can easily imagine myself in one of these trains.
This just reminds me how much I prefer miniatures to CG effects in movies — there’s just a tactile realness that miniatures have that computer FX just can’t replicate. Great photo.
this picture made me imagine that the one taking the picture is on the edge of the cliff, and will just one wrong move will..you know. morbid! lol!
but the picture looks great really.
thanks for the visit
Very cool…I use to play with trains when I was young. My cousin had a great set. Happy WW and thanks for stopping by and for the advice:)
Looks just like the mountains of Colorado. Very realistic.
it looks so real!
Every week I think your pictures can’t get any better, but somehow they just do!
My son and I look forward to Wordless Wednesday every week. Thanks for all the great shots. Are you on a ladder taking these??!!
