It's funny, because from the thumbnail, it looks like it's a model railway, then I think it's actually real until I read your description that it is indeed a model. It is isn't it? Just illustrates the quality of your shots!

Yes this layout was an awesome layout. It was in Great Model Railroader 2009, but i save this shot for the Track Side shots they do. I think this is a money shot for sure.

This is a model. If you notice how low I got on the layout you'll see why most think this is a real train. Its never seen in model shots where you are looking at the perspective a person walking on the layout its self. Even the power lines helped this by being under the model engine why being in front of the scene. When I saw this I knew I had to shoot this shot.

Thanks for the kind words!

The whole layout can be seen in the Great Model Railroader Magazine. My wife and I went down there to shoot this for the MR. I also got the cover and the month of April in The Art of Model Railing Calender for 2010.

Thanks
