What is the one favorite scene you created on your layout that is your favorite. Mine is the farm house on the country gravel road. Though the farmhouse is from Woodland it is very close to the house I grew up with and later farmed. There was and still is just a gravel road running in front. Once a year they would drop a load of gravel and grade it. Until mid 60s, still had an outhouse. The UP and NYC had tracks running a mile away. Many times dad while waiting to be called for supper would stand along the fence line and wait for the 5:45 freight to go by. So, what's your favorite?

Yes, since we have two seperate and completely different themes, ther are two. The Grand Central Terminal for the CIC side and the Center of the North Pole for the PE side.

Out of the 2, if I would be asked to judge and pick just one of the 2, I couldn't. Fantastic scene's. Thanks for sharing these from both themes. |

Josef, that is an excellent scene and your connection to it makes it even better.
Brian, it would be very hard to pick one of those two scenes as the best. If I had to I'd pick GCT because I've been there and I've never been to the North Pole. Then again Santa lives at the North Pole so....it's a tough choice.
I guess this is my favorite scene because it's where I spend the most time railfanning my layout. It's not a particularly wonderful scene but it somehow draws me.

Tough to pick just one favorite scene on my layout, but here are two overhead, "birds-eye" scenes from my layout that capture so many cool features overall including: the Dunham Studios cityscape backdrop, bright eye-catching colors everywhere, Dept 56 village with LED lighting, and Phillips HUE ceiling and track lighting programmed for dramatic evening lighting:   David |

David, the Dunham crew did a great job on your layout. I love the lighting and the D56 Christmas village is very cool. I also love the CP Christmas train.

The best scenes on any layout always come from real-life experiences. A spoonful of nostalgia adds more to the soup than all the spices in the cubboard. Excellent scene. Emile |

Not sure how you attached your picture, when I click on it ,it doesn't enlarge like they usually do. I don't know what happened. but I just after clicking it on, use my enlarger too to enlagel. Sorry, tried to change it, but still didn't work. |

Not sure how you attached your picture, when I click on it ,it doesn't enlarge like they usually do. Guys, I've noticed that too with some pictures. But I think I understand what's happening. If we post a low-resolution photo, say 1024x768 that's small in size (i.e., 500K or less), then when we click on the inline photo preview/thumbnail, we'll get a slightly enlarged picture to whatever the pixel dimensions are (i.e., 1024x768). At that point, if you click on the photo again, nothing will happen (i.e., no further enlargement). However, if we attach a large (2MB+) high-resolution photo, when viewers click on the inline preview/thumbnail, they'll likely get an enlargement that fills their display screen. And if we click on a portion of that enlarged photo, we'll then get a further enlargement of the photo based on where you clicked on it. In this case, you'll notice the mouse cursor is either a plus-sign (+) to zoom in, or a negative-sign (-) to zoom out. Again, neither of these functions will come into play if we post a low-resolution photo -- only hi-res photos. Hope that helps. |

I think you are right, David. A low resolution photo will only enlarge to it's full size. Enlarge it more and you lose clarity.
