Image information
Today's consist for the KING COAL between Philadelphia and the Coal Regions includes several cars built by Jeff Smith. Here we see a class PBu "blimp" coach that Jeff built from a Bethlehem Car Works brass kit. The car has a detailed interior including passengers, window shades, and lighting.
Take note of the backdrop in this photo - viewers familiar with the Pottsville area will note
that this is an authentic backdrop. Jeff photographed the buildings in Pottsville and edited them with Photoshop Elements, sizing them to the appropriate scale and merging them into one photo, then printed them out for use on the backdrop. Very convincing effect!
