This is more than merely a passive photographic exercise as I&#8217;m actively searching for scenes to incorporate in my next Wee Reading Company adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regularly Tracking the Light readers may remember the last run of the original Wee Reading Company in May 2023. That railroad now exists only in photos, although I saved all of the locomotives, rollingstock and structures, as well as salvaging as much of the track and timber as practicable for use in the new incarnation of the Reading in HO Scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late Autumn, Kris and I paused at Reinholds Station on the East Penn part of the former Reading &amp; Columbia route. This picturesque line has great modeling potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I exposed these views with my Nikon Z7-II with 24-70mm lens. The NEF RAW files were processed by Pure Raw and adjusted using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\"
