My first shot at DW&P's tunnel in far western Duluth was this image captured in 1979 as a northbound works out of the Lake Superior basin. The train is about to pass through the tunnel. The Peg abandoned this line in 1984 in favor of DM&IR rights on nearby Steelton Hill to Wisconsin.

some yoga in p!nk: presented on a soft surface, with calm music and some blue light.
Actually, I wanted to let the blue organza fabric float through the air, but I was too dazzled by the suit :-) The suit should actually be red, but is a very strong pink. An extra soft, extremely smooth, super stretchy and very shiny fabric. Simply brilliant!

The North American P-64 is often thought of as an export fighter version of the AT-6 Texan, North American’s ubiquitous World War II trainer. In actuality, while the two aircraft are similar, there are a number of key differences. The P-64 is a slightly smaller airplane, about two feet shorter in length, and with a wingspan that is about five feet shorter than its better-known trainer cousin.
What we now know as the P-64 started life as the NA-68, and first flew in September of 1940. The NA-68 was an upgraded version of the earlier NA-50, which was designed as a low-cost fighter that could be sold for export. Seven NA-50s had been built for the Peruvian Air Force, and six NA-68s were produced for the Royal Thai Air Force, but were never delivered. Those six airplanes were confiscated mid-shipment around the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, and their invasion of Thailand the following day. The NA-68s were stripped of their armament, redesignated P-64 (P for “pursuit”) and assigned to a training squadron in Arizona.
At the end of the war, the airplane was flown to Albuquerque, New Mexico, for disposal. As luck would have it, a man named Jack Canary was in Albuquerque looking for T-6s when he spotted the P-64 in the scrap line. He purchased the airplane for $800 and it became a part of his Phoenix-based charter business in 1946. It was painted a snappy red with black trim and used for stunt work and publicity.
In 1949, the aircraft was sold to Charles Barnes and then to the Mexican Light and Power Company for cloud seeding duty. In 1953, it was spotted flying out of Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix, Arizona, but from 1954 until 1963 the history of the aircraft is rather vague. That’s when it caught the eye of EAA founder Paul Poberezny while he was visiting Ray Stits at the Flabob Airport in Riverside, California. By this time, the aircraft had been painted in its present blue and yellow with red and white trim scheme.
Paul made arrangements to buy the airplane from the owner at the time, John Hoak, and, after a couple of attempts, it was ferried to EAA headquarters in Wisconsin in the summer of 1964. The airplane was overhauled, and, eventually, the engine was upgraded from the original 875-hp Wright engine to the 1,200-hp Wright Cyclone that powers it to this day. Paul debuted the airplane at the EAA convention in Rockford, Illinois, in 1965, and for the next 23 years it was his signature mount as he flew it to air shows and fly-ins around the country. His elegant, graceful aerobatic routines came to symbolize EAA wherever Paul and the pugnacious little fighter went.
Paul retired the airplane for static display in the EAA museum in 1988. Then, in 2013, after extensive efforts by EAA’s aircraft maintenance staff, the P-64 roared to life as Paul fired up its engine one more time. After some additional refurbishment, the airplane was flown in July of 2016, and displayed to an appreciative audience at that summer’s AirVenture Oshkosh convention.
I got this specific information about the aircraft at www.eaa.org website.
This is the only surviving P-64. I was fortunate to have seen it and photographed it at AirVenture 2019 in Oshkosh.

A beautiful scale-focus camera, very slim, similar in operation to an Olympus Trip 35 or Lomo LC-A, but without the cult following, so more rare it seems. This one is fully working, although a bit of CLA was done after the first roll, since the aperture blades got stuck.
The camera will choose aperture and shutter speed, but one does need to set the EV value through a match needle system, adjusted by rotating the inner ring of the barrel, then using the outer ring to set distance. I love the little icons for distance, located on top, especially of the family. They look like they're out having fun, maybe at a park.

ah that flat top!
Since the last time this appeared on my flickr, i have revised some of the greebling. There's also some technic on the interior that you cannot see in order to fight cab sag. The rear truck is a dummy (wheelless) and won't be doing anything in the way of support. Whether it all works or not in real LEGO is yet to be seen. All olive green used in this render does exist in recent production. The only thing non-production would be the dark grey wheels, those I'd have to order from BBB ltd.

Neurotype research had been shunned and rejected in the decades following the Third Great War, due to the unprecedented scale of the damage. With the deployment of NT forces during the First Space War, this became unfeasible.
Neo-Muha-Faction and Neo-Blanqui forces repeatedly staged hit and run attacks on the Global Federation's space colonies during the conflict, forcing the development of quick-response interceptors.
Compared to a fully fledged mobile warrior, the P-202 Vulture sacrifices the powerful mobile-reactor technology as well as the agility and flexibility of the limb modules. Instead, everything is built around speed and the NT-prowess of the pilot channelled into the frontal projector.

Dos Afonsos, 26 October 1996.
A beautiful airworthy Thunderbolt on the platform during the airshow. It wears the markings of 1º Grupo de Aviação de Caça that fought in Italy during WWII.
The serial 226766 however is fake, but it really is a former Brazilian post-war Thunderbolt (serial 4184).
Dos Afonsos is close to Rio de Janeiro and home of the FAB museum.
