So I've been fascinated by HO scale modeling since an uncle built me a 4x8 in 1979 when I was 7.  FF to age 40; living in a Chicago townhouse, so I've been building small dioramas to hone various skills learned from MR articles, with the big idea that when we finally move to the suburbs I'll build the HO empire.  That said I also have a 3' x 4' HO layout under slow construction in the basement; it's basically a small 18" radius oval with as many spurs as I could fit.

I've realized this hobby for me is 57% about fooling around with cameras.  The iPhone is pretty great for dropping into an HO scene :)

Playing around with simulating grease near a switch's moving parts.  Tried some Neolube, which is nice because it conducts electricity .. got a little carried away here I think but I like the shiny-ness of it.

Wow.  Some really great modeling.  Especially the vegetation which is hard to do.
