I have a long history with the Western Railway Museum. My first visit was in the mid 1970's when my parents took my on a visit.

My next visit was in the 1980's when my best friend and his parents took us on a day trip. I had no idea where the place was located but last year I accidentally passed it while going for a drive.

So I stopped in 2011 and took some photos and returned again today. Below are some the shots.

This HDR capture of an old red boxcar was the last image I took today.
Clearly they are doing work to rebuild the interior and exterior. |
The next 2 shots were taken of the same train 1 year apart using different lenses. Which one do you prefer?
 |
| 2011 HDR 18mm Nikon kit lens version |
 |
| 2012 HDR 10mm Tamron wide angle version |
 |
| HDR train interior |
 |
HDR image turned almost totally B&W. Not very happy with the POV.
Next time I will get the tripod lower toward seat level. |
I also took a bunch of Macro shots with the Tamron 90mm Macro lens
And of course a few cool signs from inside the train that I really enjoyed
