Blue Pullman by moonlight
Gosh, this is a rather nice piece of kit, isn't it? What an absolute stunner of a model - thank you, Bachmann.
I've been playing around with a "moonlight" mode for the spring module, using an inexpensive anglepoise LED lamp, to which I've added a home made blue filter. Most of my trains don't as yet have coach lighting, though, and the Bachmann 108 DMU, while a lovely model, has quite faint interior lighting which doesn't show up particularly well even in night shots. The BP Is a different beast entirely, though, wiht very bright lighting, so I couldn't resist posing it under the blue LED.
This night shooting lark is new to me so I still have to learn a few things, but I can see it adding some extra play value to the layout. In the meantime I'm off to play with my BP.
Edit: I couldn't resist having a fiddle in Photoshop - anyone remember the Ladybird Book of the Night Sky?
