Does any one have any idea what types (diesel, steam etc.) or model #’s/types might have been used in the Newfoundland railway trains when it was operational back in the early 1900′s?

Is it normal procedure to get your portfolio done by yourself before starting in a modelling agency?
I’ve been contacted by a modelling agency recently. They are doing a training day at the end of the month (it will involve ethics about the company, make up, hair etc) and it costs €65. They have said it’s essential to get this done for “trainee models”. I’ve been told that I then need to go get my own professional pictures done and they will then put me on their books and contact me if anything arrises. Is this a normal procedure? I assumed that you get more pictures done with the more work you have done and pay for it out of the money you earn from modelling. Not have all your pic’s taken before you even start off. Can anybody help me with this? It’s an Irish based modelling agency.
Which hybrid car would you buy?Toyota Camry or Nissan Altima?
I am looking to buy a midsize hybrid 4 door sedan. I have narrowed it down to two cars. Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, both 2007 models. I’ve been told that both cars are very comparable since Nissan licensed some of the hybrid components from Toyota so therefore the drive train and the hybrid system are almost identical for both cars. However, Toyota dealer told me that Toyota licensed older technology hybrid components than the latest installed in the Camry. Is this true? Which would you buy?

Any model train collectors out there? I need expert advice.?
I have my father’s complete train set, from 1930, and I understand it’s quite collectible. Many cars, scenery pieces, track. It has been in storage for years and is in pretty good shape, with a little surface corrosion, but lots and lots of dust and the metal is dull. I haven’t actually seen it work in 20 years, but I’m sure it woudn’t take much to get it going. I’ve finally decided to let it go. I’ve ordered a guide to pricing, but so much depends on condition. Here are my questions (thanks for your patience, and serious answers only please):
1) It looks bad now because of the dirt, does that affect how I rate the condition?
2) Should I clean it, and if so,
3) How can I best clean it up for sale without damaging anything?
4) Is eBay the best sale site?
5) Should I sell it as a set or by the piece?
Thanks for any advice.
