Re: Harold K. Vollrath

Rufus, do you know the size (pixel dimensions) of the scans on the NP freight car CD's? I usually avoid CD's because scans are often 1024x768 or some other 'tiny' format... (my screen size is

Re: Harold K. Vollrath

Re: Question re 12-Panel boxcars

Yes, I too greatly value traditional high resolution silver halide prints, for example, builders photographs from Alco Historic Photos. Contact prints made from historic 8x10 negatives have detail

Re: Harold K. Vollrath

All the lovely fine detail that one could pick out of a well-done chemical process print is _not necessarily_ lost in a digital print. Quite the contrary, even if you have middle range
