As the extended testing went onto into the darkness I got a chance to do a few night shots. I was testing the newly motorised stock cars in a rake of other stock cars behind a single Annie up and down the steep gradients of my layout. And to the risk left them running while I had my supper. No problems when I returned so here are just a few of the shots.
On part of the layout there are halogens or LED lights for general illumination, but on others there are just the lights from the layout buildings. Point Rock has not yet had the buildings lighting completed and connected.
Getting settings correct for balancing bright light against small building lights and close reflectionn against dimmer farher objscts sets up an interesting challenge and sometimes it is just downright impossible.
The colour of light from LEDs is so much cooler than from halogen or little tungsten lamps as can be seen in the stockyard piccy
The loco passes a very bright halogen!
Mixing LED and halogen and tungsten gives a strange brew at the Point Rock stockyard. Notice that the stock car is missing and the cows are not stampeding off the ramp!!!
The Point Rock saw mill carries on working into the darkness as there are plenty of orders on.
I have got to finish putting in the bulding lights and connect them up in this area
The evening freight train pulls into the busy station that has passengers waiting for the late evening Califonrnia Zephyr
