Colourful Steamer

Not a painting…

This is a HDR (High Dynamic Range) image of a steam engine on display. I don’t know much about the process, but the results of HDR pictures are always stunning. They create a “painted” look to any image.

Do a Google search on “HDR Images” and you will see quite a few great examples.

I'm your host, Tim Warris, a product developer in Port Dover, Ontario. Since March of 2007 I have been documenting the construction of the former CNJ Bronx Terminal in HO scale. For my day job, I design track building tools for Fast Tracks, a small company I own and operate. Fast Tracks makes it fast and easy to hand lay your own trackwork.

Virtually complete.

The latest piece of the Terminal rendered in 3D. Construction of this section has started, and will likely be complete in a couple days.

Unlike the other sections I rendered in 3D, this piece shows where the gaps in the rail are to be cut. Many readers have wondered how, or if, it is possible to gap trackwork like this for proper power routing and I thought I would start by showing the location of the gaps. I have a technique that works well for cutting the gaps which I will show later on in the project. I have written about this technique before, if you want to check it out have a look here.
