I was sitting on a somewhat sheltered observation platform at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers in Marietta Ohio on 15 Jan 2023 when this beautiful Blue heron flew across the from the opposite shore of the Muskingum and landed about 50 yards away. To my amazement it did not see me and I began taking photos. At about the 15 second mark of our photo session it suddenly spotted me and the gig was up, photo session over.
First impression: That speaker should be mounted vertically, in order to spread the sound in a horizontal plane.
But then, this is a train platform, and we only need sound around a straight line. For the platform, horizontal or vertical speaker does not matter much. With this vertical placement, reflection from the fround might ad up to 3 dB. For the neighbors, this vertical plane is probably nice.
I only have one point in contact with "the ground!" That would be my fat bum!
This is a slinky and snug fitting catsuit that came from greatglam.com in my June shopping binge. Its been patiently waiting for me to assemble an ensemble around it and now its time has arrived! I've matched it up with my Osé Retina Lurex hose and my recently acquired gold platform stilleto pumps from fredericks.com.

Platforms. The most boring thing of the train station itselft, but they can't be missed. I reused benches from my 2008' train station. Lights were completely rebuilt to be 3mm LED capable (you can see a wire put inside).
Personally I always want to put as much details as I can on the platform but at the same time I'm realizing it should allow smooth passengers traffic, shouldn't be an obstacle course.
The platform can be disassembled easily and stored as separate 48x48 studs modules.
The still gas light Hamworthy Junction, looks rather dowdy with grime covered canopies, as a somewhat smoky Crompton departs to Poole on the push-pull service from Weymouth in 1969. Opened as 'Poole Junction' part of the Southampton & Dorchester Railway, or 'Castleman's Corkscrew', in June 1847 to the original Poole terminus, later the Hamworthy goods branch. The construction of the Holes Bay curve in 1892/3 connected to the more centrally placed Poole station of 1872. This resulted in the station being completely rebuilt, including the installation of the well-known signal box on the island platform, which lasted into recent times.
The original main line to Broadstone was singled in December 1932, closing completely on 4th May 1964. However, it was another 8 years before the 'junction' was dropped from the station's name on 1st May 1972, although it renamed on the signal box diagram until the end. That same year the station buildings were finally given a face lift and the large canopy on the Down platform, together with the buildings (except the box), were demolished and replaced by a 'bus' shelter. The canopy on the Up platform was also considerably reduced in length.
The line between Bournemouth and Weymouth was finally electrified in 1988.

Somewhat grainy from having been taken from the "dark side", but interesting enough to upload I thought... General Electric Test Platform Boeing 747-400 N747GF fitted with a new GE9X engine destined for the next generation of Boeing 777 airliners flies over Rainbow Canyon, Death Valley National Park, California, USA.
These poor platform boots had their best years behind them. The heels had been reattached and the foam sole was finally cut off when loose. Currently on the foam platform. Comfy still.
St Pancras railway station also known as London St Pancras and officially since 2007 as St Pancras International, is a central London railway terminus on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden. It is the terminus for Eurostar continental services from London via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel to Belgium, France and the Netherlands. It provides East Midlands Trains and Thameslink services to Corby, Sheffield and Nottingham on the Midland Main Line and Southeastern high-speed trains to Kent via Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International, and local Thameslink cross-London services. It stands between the British Library, the Regent's Canal and King's Cross railway station, with which it shares a London Underground station, King's Cross St. Pancras.
The station was constructed by the Midland Railway (MR), which had an extensive network across the Midlands and the North of England, but no dedicated line into London. After rail traffic problems following the 1862 International Exhibition, the MR decided to build a connection from Bedford to London with their own terminus. The station was designed by William Henry Barlow and constructed with a single-span iron roof. Following the station's opening on 1 October 1868, the MR constructed the Midland Grand Hotel on the station's façade, which has been widely praised for its architecture and is now a Grade I listed building along with the rest of the station.
By the 1960s, St Pancras was surplus to requirements and services were diverted to King's Cross and Euston but there was fierce opposition to its proposed closure and demolition of the station and hotel. The station was reinvented in the late 20th century as the terminal for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link in an urban regeneration plan across East London. The complex underwent a £800 million refurbishment which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 2007. A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to continental Europe via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, with platforms for domestic trains to the north and south-east of England. The restored station has 15 platforms, a shopping centre, and a coach facility. St Pancras is owned by London and Continental Railways (LCR) and managed by Network Rail (High Speed), a subsidiary of Network Rail.

1981 CIE Metropolitan Vickers class 001 Co-Co 014 (1955) in platform 5 at Waterford station.
Waterford, County Waterford, Ireland
Notes: When a railway platform was erected in 1891 and was followed, on Christmas Eve 1892, by the opening of the Leura Coffee Palace (renamed The Ritz in 1914), the beginnings of a Leura township were confirmed. Postal facilities were established in 1893 and during the next twenty years land on both the north and south sides of the railway line was subdivided and offered for sale. A new railway station was built in 1902.
The Hotel Alexandra was licenced by JH Bloome in 1905 and designed by Katoomba architect Harry Goyder in 1903 for the owners Mr HM Kensett and Mrs Kensett.

Please comment if you fave, comments and criticism are appreciated!
So this is a build I've had for months now and I think it's come time to post it so I can tear it down and begin anew on an all new Batcave! So for this one it's built on a large grey baseplate, with nine main sections:
Batcomputer: I really loved the setup of the official set, so I basically moved that to the new cave, added more consoles and posted the bat symbol above.
Medical Station: I saw Legoman685 make the X-Ray screen, so all credit should go to him for that beautiful idea. I really loved the chair from Greivous's starfighter set, so i basically just slapped it in there.
Elevator: I really liked the play feature of the official set, so I took the same basic idea and I had to stretch it out to be much taller. It looks really ugly and that's the number one thing I want to improve.
Trophy Room: Simple design, features Bruce's League of Assassins sword, Two-Face's coin, A vile of VENOM, and a kryptonite gem.
BooM Tube: what you see is what you get, helps other heroes and Bat's get around the city, also will lead to the Watchtower.
Equipment Rack: features a rotating wall, one side with baterangs, grappling hook, handcuffs, and bow staff. Alternate side features stand for scuba tank, flippers, and two boomerang baterangs.
Bottom Floor Left: has a latter to get up to the second story, sliding door that will fit all Batmobiles, and a glass case holding the uniform of Jason Todd.
Bottom Floor Right: features the suit display, which works the same way as the equipment rack. The display holds six suits. This will also need to be changed in the new batcave, hopefully fitting 8 suits, maybe even 10.
Batmobile Platform: Basically just a large rotating platform that spins and allows the batmobile to drive in and out.
And that's about it. What do you guys think? What should I add in my second version?
