[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is railway fanaticism at its best. Every year my friend Fred and his three brothers and friends spend entire weekends up in the Swiss Alps at their family vacation chalet working on a massive rolling stock on miniature railway carriages, locomotives and freight stock.

It is highly impressive - although not really my thing - but here you can see one of the pretty red electric Swiss locomotives in action, while the trees and the awning in the background give you some idea of the scale of this undertaking.

Decided not to backfill with a flash to give it a little more overcast day realism. Borrowed Fred's camera to take this shot. The brief exposure made it possible to get the moving object into sharp focus.

Nice perspective has been captured. Good details and crispy quality of image. Though it is a model train, but interesting shot.

Thanks for sharing it.
