Dear #comic artists:
If you're thinking of adding a train into one of your scenes:
DM me and I'll suggest the correct pieces of equipment for your setting/era.
This will both make your comic look amazing, but also won't break the suspension of disbelief/ avoid obvious mistakes.
Share/repost!

Thought I’d share one of my favorite modules on the Sacramento Modular Railroaders layout. This was made by the late great Gary Evans. He managed to get a picture of it published in Model Railroader just before he passed. #modeltrains
