I have just one word. WOW. Wish there were museums around here like that. I would never leave.

[IIIIIREPOIIIII]

Darn you styckx i had planed a trip there at the end of the summer, thanks to all those great pics you took now i wanna go this weekend But nobody to go with Ah oh well at least i can over your pic's for now.

Is it just my friends or do you guys get picked on because all the other guys are waiting for the latest swimsuit pictures but were here ING over picture's like the one's styckx is nice enough to share

Why can't we have both? How come no one has ever stuck a pinup girl on the nose of an old Geep or an F unit? I think we could be on to something here guys.....
Great shots though styckx, I especially liked that night exposure one.

Sadly, an old fart like me, a few pounds overweight, no pinup girl's gonna want me. A train won't either, unless I stand right on the tracks.

Well it is very sad in my case Iv never been smacked in the back of the head by my girlfriend for looking at other women, But i have been smacked for staring at a train and not paying attention to her

I get so much enjoyment out of your photos. They are clear, they pronounce the object of focus and have great detail. Your work is something to be proud of and I tip my hat to you young man!!....
I'll make a promise to you...if I ever get to have that holiday I dream off in the US I will come and visit your Strasburg first up.
The timber and restoration shot of the coach / carriage / bar ?...just beautiful.
I also like the night shot, fantastic detail from that distance.

Excellent collection....

Thanks so much! :)

There is more to do than the museum and the rail line.

You can hit up The National Toy Train Museum (right down the street): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He_Yl7Td5Dw

Then the awesome Choo Choo Barn (1700sq train layout): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IlFsnlpT_I

Ah, not that one; seems I meant the E44 ( the other one is much more fun though ).
