With a friendly greeting from the cab, a MTA passenger run rolls up to the platform at White Plains in mid-1981. Leading is Conrail FL9 5026, built in 1959 as New Haven 2026. It would be sold to Connecticut DOT in 1983 and is today preserved at Danbury, CT as CDOT/NH 2006. Trailing behind is a MTA painted FL9 and a string of aging MTA stock.

From 'Comercial Motor', 1980...
"The most expensive member of the Volkswagen family of dummies goes by the splendid name of Oscar Humanus. With Oscar the strength of each section of his body has been matched as closely as possible to that of the human body. This means that his ceramic leg bones, for example, will fracture under the same load that would break a human bone. Oscar has one tremendous advantage, however, over a mere human — his bones are easily replaceable.
Oscar's instrumentation is also capable of recording impact and the resultant injury to the softer parts of the body.
As I mentioned, Oscar is the most expensive member of the VW family at around £15,000. Indeed the total family of dummies maintained by Volkswagen — 50 males, two females and three children — represents total investment in the region c £250,000."

This week was my first multi-modal commute combining my Brompton folding bicycle and my new smart fortwo electric drive.
My home and work are about 18 miles / 30km apart, which is much further than I'd like to bike. So instead, I put my folding bike in the boot, drive halfway, park in a convenient neighborhood close to the freeway exit, and bike the remainder of the trip, much of it on a pleasant creekside multi-use trail.

This is my first MOC entitled "Brickopolis: The Commute Home." It will be displayed at the Baybrook Mall LEGO Store in Friendswood, Texas during April, 2013. The display is 48 studs wide, 40 studs deep and about 24 bricks high. It is micro scale with the citizens of Brickopolis being about half the height of a mini figure. In this scene the citizens of Brickopolis are heading home after a days work at the corporate offices of Technic Corp. A few "micro figs" live in the apartment building across the street. One has hailed a taxi home. Some relax in and around a park commemorating the site in which Brickopolis was founded. Others make their way to the bus stop while many hustle down the stairs to catch the arriving subway at Billund Station. I enjoyed making this MOC because it gave me the opportunity to build a wide variety of mini-scenes in one display. I hope you enjoy seeing the photos too.

Patrick had the idea of a group for a Riv-only commute group, so his rig has to be in there! He also took this photo.
