A new Railroad Scene Creation

by Mr. Don Ulmer

   I decided to check up on a few people whom I had the pleasure of meeting visa the Net, and posting about the. One of these fine people is Mr. Don Ulmer. I had seen his superb creations on 

ebay a while ago, and had to write about Don. 

  Don produces unique scenic props and items for model railroading. If you search out his name through my blog "labels", you'll find several posts about this "artist". His creations are magnificent, and if I ever had a model railroad, I'd create a miniature scene with some of his work.

What's interesting about the sign below is that it reads "Moose Jaw trading Post". There is a 

MooseJaw, Saskatchewan, Canada (I',m Canadian), and I wonder if the sign is a reproduction relating to that city?

I like how Don ages his models to fit "retro" into old landscapes. 

This fine model will soon be available on ebay, 

so you'll periodically have to check to see when this item goes on sale.

I've added one address below to which you can connect on my blog. However, you'll have to do some "homework" to find the rest.

Don;t work is one of my best "discoveries" that I've found in writing about toys, and I'm glad to be able to share this with you.

Thanks for stropping by,

and as always,

have a great part of the days or night,

wherever you may be,

More of Don Ulmer's Masterpieces 

for Model Railroading

    A few days ago, I introduced everyone to Mr. Don Ulmer. He crafts unique scenes for On30 model railroading. He prefers to make and design his own scenes rather than have people ask for the "same, same".  For today, I decided to use a photo-editing software to embellish his excellent work, and create some night scenes. I felt that a night scene would be more dramatic that a daylight scene. Don gave me the OK, and I proceeded. If you prefer to see his photos on ebay, just click on the link below his name.

Don makes both unique truck items or scenes with several items in them

I got lots of enjoyment  from enhancing Don's images.  I shoe twilight and evening modifications, because that's what I feel is most exciting about model railroads. That is to say, seeing the trains in an unlit room with light solely fem the train and the miniature world lighting on the large beds that the train rest on.

Are these fantastic or what?

I adjusted the images for this last scene for sunlight with clouds. I don't think this man would be selling his produce at night!

I hope you enjoyed Don;s fine art work on these items, as well as my lighting modifications . I know I veered outside my "old and antique" realm of writing, but in this case, I couldn't resist!

Thanks for dropping by,

and have a great part of the day or night,

wherever you may be.
