| We started in 1992 making
railroad videos. This was a great job but because of many factors
the video business is not one to be in if you want to make money. I
may personally get back to it some day but not now. Anyway, we were
looking for a way to get into models and hobbies. We tried several
ideas related to video but none worked. Our company had expertise in
photography, programming. and advertising, I personally am a senior
programmer in database management. We knew there was a void for
backdrops in model railroads so we tried putting 35mm images together to make a longer
print. That worked especially if you stood back 20 ft. We made
our first 12 ft backdrop in 1996. It took 4 months to make and cost
us $200 to print, not exactly a marketable item. It took some time
and development work in photography, hardware and programming to redefine how high
resolution large format images were made. After several years of
perfecting a process defining how images are taken on site and new digital
processing, we have the BackDrops,
BackGrounds, EzKut,
EZScenes, EGscenes, and EB scenes
available today. The images of today are in the gigabytes, not something
you want on your home computer. We can detail individual leaves a mile away although that
may not show on a backdrop print. We continue to improve our image processing and provide solutions to completing your layout with
an easy installation of one or more of our
backdrops. Norm
