Playing with Narrow Gauge Photos and AI

I asked AI to add smoke to the engine some clouds and a fall New England backdrop. It changed the number to a larger number and the lettering on the engine and caboose. I think it looks nice even though and not at all like a model photo.
I recently found out there was a AI attachment to my photo files that I can do a limited amount of work using AI before I have to pay a fee. Here is the view that I used and how it turned out. It changed the lettering and numbering which I could not change before the fees kicked in. Oh and this view was taken on my White River Division HO scale layout...George Dutka

This is the photo I began with taken on my HO scale layout a number of years ago (2013).

I asked AI to tone down the fall scene. An early fall view.

Milk Cans in Maine


A few milk can photos taken in Maine have turned up on Milk Train Journal. The photos are credited to Robert Wallace and the Albion Historical Society Inc. Not sure if anyone makes there type of milk cars but sure could use a few on my On30" modules...George Dutka
