(Detail)- BOM.K- End Of The Line present 'Shades of Things To Come'@ Maverick Showroom opening Tuesday 24 Nov. close Sunday 29.
A Standard Gauge Steam Loco waits until the coal wagons are filled at the transfer point as a lorry laden with coal departs for local deliveries.
By far, for me, the best model railway at the whole show was The End of The Line.
Representing a distribution point of a very small coal mining operation in the 1960s transferring the coal from Narrow Gauge railway either to Lorries or Standard Gauge railway ready for onward distribution.
The whole layout was working with tippers to tip the coal from the narrow gauge wagons either by conveyor belt to the waiting Lorry or down into a waiting coal wagon on the standard gauge tracks. Even the Lorries moved by remote control, the lorry being powered by a battery from an iPod nano, meaning they had a very realistic movement.
The scenic area of the layout was only 3ft x 5ft.
009 and O gauge tracks operated by DCC, vehicles by remote control.

The Carlingford line runs from Clyde on the main western line to the north western suburb of Carlingford. It is unusual in that is single line, and only sees short four car electric trains, due to the reduced power capacity of the overhead and the length of the platforms.The Carlingford line runs from Clyde on the main western line to the north western suburb of Carlingford.

The Narrow Gauge loco eases the loaded wagons over the tipping rails to drop the coal onto the onveyor and ino the waiting lorry. The standard gauge wagons aren't due to leave until tomorrow so their loading hasn't started yet. The scenery and setting has been modelled brilliantly.

retired ex-northwest airlines boeing 747 in the process of being scrapped. shot in 1997. nikon n90s + sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, fuji velvia RVP 50.
(re)scans from the archives. bit by bit, i've started rescanning all of my old airplane graveyard photos and re-editing them using current software, which is much more versatile than when i originally posted these shots six years ago.
and as a brief recap, all of these photos were taken in 1997-1999, when access at mojave airport was still possible. in the present post 9/11 security world we live in, access is not possible at all and photography is prohibited on airport property. please don't ask me how to get access - i can't help.
as always, thanks again to everyone that has favorited and commented on my airplane graveyard shots in the past.
best-of set from over 300 photos shot in the mojave airplane graveyard. nikon n90s + fuji velvia RVP film
At Grenelle, this weathered pair of crossed sleepers marks a quiet but definitive boundary. To the untrained eye, it might look like the tracks vanish into an overgrown past, but this is actually the end of the active line. Behind me lies the abandoned stretch—a sanctuary of tangled greenery and forgotten relics—while ahead, these tracks remain tied to the present, patiently awaiting their next train. Or at least, that's what we hoped as we lingered a little longer than we probably should have.

BHP Billiton withdrew the last of their 40 GE Dash 8 locomotives in July 2015, as they were replaced by newer, more powerful locos. Scrapping started soon after at the Sims Metal plant in Wedgefield, and industrial suburb of Port Hedland.
These were unique American-design locos within Australia, in that they had the short hood removed and rebuilt cabs at the very front of the body.
