I would like to show some pîctures from my new Diorama build by my Friend Stefan Foerg in Germany.
 The Engines below are from Rodney Walker





The snow covered Engines are build from David Terdich







The SOO Engines are build from Javier and the Boxcar/Caboose from Gary Christensen

Wow.

Do you know what product/material was used for the snow itself?

It may be a cliche to say the photos appeared to be real, full-size engines but they look real. Truly outstanding work!

Thank you for posting them.

Yup, amazing is a good word to describe this diorama and the photos.
I think that the large depth of field helps to make photos like these look like they were of 1:1 scale trains.

I would like to share some new Pictures showing a Brass Overland Jordan Spreader weathered by Rod Walker. The snow around the Spreader is Maizena (Corn starch)
