Ha! that is the only one that I found in about a hour of searching.

I'm just going to take a shot:

1. Ladder moved at store by green car
2. Shovel moved at coal bin by flat car
3. Person missing from bench by flat car
4. Driver missing from coal truck
5. Door closed on coal truck

IH, Keep trying because CN only got 4 correct! Jim

 

[Sirfoldalot]

I'm still waiting for you to post the second photo!

Yup, after another hour at lunch time today those are the 4 that I now have too. Maybe it will last until I can look at them tonight at home with a better computer monitor!

Both photos are in the same post. One after the other. Scroll down.

Best of luck!

Holy crap! 23 hours late and I still have a shot?!?!? Tough one, for sure, Jim!

Okay, here is my stab at it:
1 - The ladder leaning against the building by the green car has been shifted to the right.
2 - The driver's door on the coal truck has been shut.
3 - The coal bin shovel that was on the edge of the platform has been moved closer to the other shovel.
4 - The guy sitting on the bench/porch whose legs can be seen in the first photo has gotten up and walked away from the second shot.
5 - The clouds on the backdrop have moved to the left (far too much to be accounted for by camera angle).

What do think? Am I close?

KB02, Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner with 12 minutes left to play. Congratulations. KB02

So, you may choose ONE item. Tall N scale trees, or shorter trees for N or Z, or $400 worth of my HO or O conifers, or one HO loco DCC/sound. Let me know. Jim

 

[KB02]

WOO HOO!!!

I'll send you a Private message with my choice.

Wicked tough contest and an amazing scene, for sure!

Since time is almost up....here's my shot:

1) Ladder rung missing by store
2) Door closed on coal truck
3) Person missing from bench next to flat car
4) Shovel moved at coal bin
5) Yellow plant with red bloom next to stump has changed

By the way Mr Explorer this is my third post and my millionth time to look at your thread....awesome, awesome, awesome. And encouraging!!!!

 

[AlienT]

Guess I should have refreshed before posting....i was wrong and late anyway. Still its an awesome thread.

Thanks Allen, The clouds probably got most of the contestants. I personally thought that was a good touch. I also liked the missing leg and foot of the man by the flat car. I thought that would have been the hardest 'find.' Thanks to you all for playing and KB02 chose the HO trees. They would have been my first choice as well. Thanks to all the players. Jim

 

[AlienT]

It's all my pleasure HO...I actually looked at the clouds and noticed the change but did put it off on camera angle because I had no idea your backdrop could move. Thats another thing i will have to consider for my layout. My benchwork is in and I will begin the foam sub-board. So I have a long way to go. Just got back in to N scale after a 20yr layoff for life to happen and you are definitely making it better.

 

[CN2117]

That was awesome. I wondered about the clouds, but chalked that up to my monitor.

I dismissed the clouds as well, forgetting that this layout didn't actually have any backdrops (to my chagrin, my wife did pick it up and say there was something about the clouds. How will I ever live that down, the shame, oh, the shame) Congratulations to KB02 for an eagle eye.
