Great great pictures, mixing of scales looks wonderful. John, for a cofee table in Z, with 1mx1.5m you can make great things. |

What a great layout, Heine! Now if I could only entice you into building one of them for me!  One question: What camera did you use to take your photos? The image quality seems to be very good! Happy railroading! |

One question: What camera did you use to take your photos? The image quality seems to be very good! Happy railroading! Thanks Allan, Most of the photos of the coffee table layout is taken with a cannon IXUS 2.1 megapix (Elph in the US). Now I have a Nikon Coolpix 2500 2.0 megapix Both are normal non-expensive cameras... The secret of good pictures of model trains is to turn off the flash. But then you have to have good light and a steady ground for the camera. |

Great coffee table layout Heine. Please tell the forum it was ridiculously cheap, in fact a bargain compared to other coffee tables. I can then show that and your pictures to my wife and I might just stand a fighting chance of convincing her that a coffee table layout would look just peachy in our place.
