Hi All, It's been sometime since I have posted something on here. Anyways, I recently completed this unit, I started with a Highliners shell and Athearn drive. I added LED's to the headlights, numberboards and classlights. A Details West detail kit was also used along with Hi-tech battery box kit. Here is a link to the build process: Soo F7A build processThanks for looking

Gorgeous unit - and pretty sharp photos too.
Any chance you might be able to bump up the ISO speed on your camera and close the aperture a bit for a deeper depth of field? I'll bet that such a combination will make those shots look nearly imperceptible from a 1:1 scale (not to say that they don't do a good job already).

Thank you for you comments. Kurt- thank you for your input. I am pretty much a newb when it comes to photography. I will play with the ISO and aperture settings on my camera. I put this video together so you can hear and see the lights in action.

Nice unit!
One needs to use a higher f-stop for more DOF when shooting close up model shots, in order to have the full model in focus. Not so much for the full-on side shots, but for the 3/4 roster-ish shots.

Granted, full-on side shots with scale foregrounds benefit from the deeper DOF too - blurry grass offsets the realism of the model. -Kurt |

That would have been a great pic for the January forum logo. I'll do it up for February instead, eh?

Good idea Randy. That unit turned out great, I like the overall scene as well, not many try winter modeling.
