JACK M Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A very cool picture indeed. I wonder what that guy in front of the train is doing. Certainly not hand cranking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Simmons Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 emjay--I had one also from Lionel had 4to6 cars that lighted up with special connectors between the cars. I remember it being a brighter yellow than the one in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwatson Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Love that it's in color. I'm wondering if it's "colorized". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it's colored strongly suggests that it was a black and white photo that later had the colors added. That muted tone, while sometimes the effect of age, is also the way the "color" tool in Photoshop looks, since it applies a transparent layer of color over the original grayscale, which is why they're never as bright or crisp, but kind of soft and faded. The grayscale behind it keeps it from being bright. Also, very cool train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwells Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 This is indeed a colorized photo by Patty Allison at Imbued with Hues of Portland, Oregon. David Greenlees at The Old Motor has featured a number of her colorized images. She does very nice work IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
