This is an old model train that was my fathers as a child, which I got much use out of as well. Seeing it again brought back great memories, and it certainly has a place in the family time capsule.

The best we can figure, my father got it around 1952.

Post processing:
- A bit of dodge
- Little desaturation
- Color balance (the train had a bit of green cast)
- Levels
- Unsharp Mask

Not a bad picture of a model train right from the box.

I get what you are trying to say but really, a plastic train.

5 - Good improvisation/emulation to meet the challenge, you could even FIT this in a time capsule, so well done. Criticism; I would like to see more 'eraness' within the composition - somehow. I do like the angle, and whilst I know you were likely trying to get it as realistic as possible (and the dof of green in the back is good at that), maybe a 'head on' shot, with some little 'people' (if you had them) - not sure. Perhaps a little blurring or even oversharpening, maybe even sepia, to gain more 'era feel', not sure. Creative and good effort though.

This is very obviously a model train. When I see it I I think of children playing, not of the 1950s (& the dust on it isn't helping either)...
