The Railroad

Looks like you got the colors sorted and these images of your impressive model railroad are lovely.

 

Thanks Karl! Really warming! Yes, I'm more happy with the colors, I've removed a lot of red though and adjusted the contrast, brightness and saturation. The first shot is with 50mm Elmar from 1957, the rest is with Elmarit 90mm R (a lovely lens!!), Novoflex adapter and the EVF. None are cropped :)

Two questions, if I may:

 

1) How do you protect it against the weather?

 

The trains are always taken inside after we've rum them but the tracks are nickel plated and the sleepers made out of highly UVrestitant plastics so they are out all around the year, even in the harsh winter (down to minus 20 degrees and lots of snow). The houses are out from spring to autumn and then stored inside for the winter. The tracks lay in a extremely well drained bed of gravel (15cm thick)

 

2) Is this a stupid question?

Not at all:). Actually when the trains first hit the market they where said to be completely weatherproof, but that was before the days of electronics. The good thing about electronics is that high tech sound modules have become quite cheap meaning that every locomotive is fitted with a sound module reproducing the original sound from the original locomotive. The whole layout is completely digital meaning that locomotives run independent on each other.
