Wowak OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 101 Thank you received: 8	That's excellent advice regarding lighting, but I don't have a layout, I'm currently renting, so I'm feeding my modeling urges by amassing and modifying equipment for my theoretical eventual Shamokin Division layout. At some point I may build a diorama of the enginehouse at Gordon to have a place to display my steam power.

Turboboost910 OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 250 Thank you received: 17	Another suggestion, since the reading is a vast sea of "black" with all the hoppers and Gons, and the only break in that would be the dark red boxcars, I bet lightening up the greens on the coaches would be a welcome sight. Especially if you are pulling them with FP7s or steam engines.

Wowak OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 101 Thank you received: 8	Considering that when I grew up in the coal region even in the 80s everything was coal dust/soot black, I don't so much mind the sea of black. I intend to model the dreary reality of that place.
