Cool!

When I lived in Pulaski, there was (and still is for that matter) a transportation museum that opened a few years ago. Inside it has a working O gauge replica of downtown Pulaski circa 1950's. It's very detailed, and very large. There is also a lot of neat history about the town, including one shot of the lot where my house used to sit, prior to it's being built.

Model train enthusiast passing through might want to stop and check it out:

The Raymond Ratcliff Transportation Museum, Pulaski VA 24301. I81 exit 94 (VA), go downtown and take a right on Washington Ave, past the post office, and across the tracks. The museum is next to the shopping center with county offices and a Dollar General. You'll also just be a few blocks from where I used to live!

Absolutely lovely stuff and the hours of dedication invested is mind-boggling.

From the photography point of view, it's pity that the depth of focus tends to be so short when photographing miniature scenes, so parts are blurred other than those immediately in the center. Perhaps there are now some very mini cameras that can overcome this.

Just a thought.
