Andrew Carnegie in front of Rays Hill Tunnel




I don't know if we have a railroad image yet at Featured Pictures, and this one is certainly an original. With the historic image I have here, I am looking for help on getting this for FPC.

 * You're going to want a significant refurbishment of this. Scratches and dust everywhere. What looks to be creases in the top center. There are a few people at FPC that do this kind of work. Not to say they'd do it, but Durova, Shoemaker's Holiday, and Mvuijlst are three of the more notable restorationists (that I've taken notice of).

 * I've added an Edit 1. Mitchazenia : Chat   Trained for the pen 17:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd be happy to work on the image, but to do that I'd need a higher quality original: this has a lot of articasts due to jpeg compression. If you could upload this in tiff (or png) format: I'm your man. -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 15:41, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * This was a scan of the original image, I can try as soon as possible. Mitchazenia : Chat   Trained for the pen 15:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Edit 1 does indeed look better, but it still needs more restoration to be good for FPC. For instance, see the tunnel. That should be black without the dust, scratches, and smudges. As long as your upload is up to scratch size-wise, it seems Michel Vuijsteke will do it for you. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 22:17, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
