Model railroading is a great hobby. So is photography. Many modelers have combined both skills to accomplish everything from sharing their model work to use as a tool for recreating prototype scenes.

Gary Hoover's layout is designed for the railfan. He has taken his favorite locations from Illinois to the Pacific and created scenes that railfans would have to travel for days to cover. But Green Frog covers them all in this video adventure as we visit Castle Gate, Utah, the deserts of the southwest, the mountains of Colorado, a Pacific coast scene with a working lighthouse, and more!
As an added bonus, Gary will demonstrate how he modeled those terrific waves on the Pacific coast and tips on building a prototype scene for photography. Castle Gate.

Gary's layout has been featured in Kalmbach's 1994 Great Model Railroads, Model Railroad Planning 1996, and several issues of Model Railroader. This video will inspire you to build scenes that are realistic and photogenic, combining two great hobbies into one.
