One of the most rewarding parts of this hobby is capturing that one perfect moment—a locomotive charging around a bend, a peaceful station scene at dusk, or even a rail worker caught mid-task.
I’m curious—what’s your process when setting up a photo?
Do you plan your scenes ahead of time or shoot on the fly?
What camera or phone do you use?
Do you have a favorite spot on your layout that always delivers a great angle?
Bonus points if you’ve built custom rigs or mini tripods to get those tight, rail-level shots.
