I love these kinds of close-ups and the somewhat graphic b&w effect was and still is totally my thing.
Thanks Grerard. There I was thinking I might have overdone the graphic effect.......I love these kinds of close-ups and the somewhat graphic b&w effect was and still is totally my thing.

Train Collector
This guy collects full-size trains. He has constructed a station, Grizzly Flats and an oval track in his backyard. The train runs and he has a few cars. He gives runs to family and friends. His name is Ward Kimball and he was one of the original Disney Imagineers.

Yes, truly amazing to have a working train in one's home. Grizzle Flats Station has a raised platform for passengers and an office for tickets. In and about LA, there are a number of model train halls/clubs ... but Kimball has it all. Obviously, Kimball has a large yard, but Alhambra is a suburb of LA, not out in the country. If I remember correctly, Kimball's home was either part of or butted up to an orange grove which become incorporated into his hobby. (It is a tight oval of track.)Wow, this is amazing, great hobby but I've no backyard!
