Tower City Trains

By Bill Bramlage

Book Overview

The construction of the train layout in this book started in 2008 and was completed in 2015. Photos show the elevated observation and control platform. The ceiling is painted black to hide it as much as possible. There are three lighting systems for the layout. There are fluorescent lights for general lighting and work, track lighting for dramatic evening and nighttime lighting and a third system of track lights focused on the walls for the sky lighting effects. I built this layout to entertain me, my grandchildren, and my friends. I hope you enjoy this layout tour!

The photos in this book are very unique. Each photo is a composite of 30 to 100 individual images, all focus-stacked in digital layers and composited together. The result is that every image is stunningly sharp, bright and clear with amazing depth of field!

All the photos were taken with a Nikon D5200 camera set at f12 at an ISO setting of 100. The images were stacked using the Zerene Stacker program from Zerene Systems. www.zerenesystems.com
