Sunset on the beach at Steetley Pier.

CN SD40u 6003 shoves cars over the dual hump at MacMillan Yard on a sun-kissed Sunday evening in Vaughan.
A diverse set of power brings the PASNTW onto the Pullback at CP 16.3 and ends its journey across the Northern Transcon. Easing up to the light from Coon Creek gave the sun a chance to come out for a little bit. Thanks to Mike V for the tip earlier in the morning.
The St. Cloud Local is back at that their spawn point and at the end of their day with a pair EMDs leading the way.
A CSX remote control yard job, likely Y193, is turning their power on the Sunnyside Wye in Grand Rapids, seen here at the Amshack. Timetable rules specified that on RC yard jobs, the leader must be A) equipped with pullback protection and B) be facing east so that the receiver was on the leading end of the movement. In those days, the RC equipment was usually provided by a drone like RCPHG4 #9156. Apparently Geeps were in short supply on this day, as a big C40-8 is providing the power. The Grand Rapids-based drones would all be retired by the end of the year.
A setting looking to the north while taking in views across eroded formations and the monocline with sandstone cliff walls of the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to find the right focal length to pullback to include enough of the towering cliff walls while having the blue skies and clouds above to be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
Here is another one of the kittens we are fostering.
A friend of mine wanted to pin it on Pinterest, so I am uploading it here.
If you would like to see a pullback shot and an explanation of how to get this twinkly light effect, then please visit my Facebook page (link below). It is a nice setup for all kinds of subjects, including newborns and children.

A unique dwarf signal protects the west end of the Brantford plant on this mild afternoon, the switching feature is set up for the yard job to use the pullback without need for the yard crew to call the RTC for headroom each time they make a move into the plant.
A setting looking to the west while taking in views at the Petroglyph site in Capitol Reef National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to find the right focal length to pullback to include enough of the towering cliff walls while having the blue skies and clouds above to be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
Seventh build in my Iron Builder round against Eann using 9 red cauldrons.
Once every decade I build a car in order to remind myself of why I don't build cars. This one's a pullback. Maybe in 2034 I'll do an RC. Also, what's with LEGO not being able to match light grey on it's own stickers?? Feel like I could have printed better decals myself #purist (or #lazy).
More angles on Insta and a closer look at the electric pole here.

A setting looking to the south-southeast while taking in views across the Utah high desert and the monocline with sandstone cliff walls of the Waterpocket Fold in Capitol Reef National Park. My thinking in composing this image was to find the right focal length to pullback to include enough of the towering cliff walls while having the blue skies and clouds above to be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.
I'm not sure why I have these and when I opened the box to see Matchbox I was surprised to see these on top of the box. I forgot I had them. There was a toy store called PLAY CO. going out of business and I got these on sale, #17 Stock Racers Collection. Seems they were trying to not call them Stock Cars.
For 20 seconds, the light appeared, then it was gone!

The Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California is used by oceanographers to do studies on the ocean and its effects on the rest of the planet. Before making this image, I waited for the light rays to arrange themselves between the pilings. I also waited for the waves to pull back leaving foam on the sand. I didn’t have to wait too long because the wind was howling and the clouds were moving quickly. The sea spray and rain made the shafts of light easily visible. The rain also added depth to the image by having the background disappear into the mist. I liked how the light brought out the colors in the foam on the sand. Good atmosphere often produces subtle effects that you don’t see on a clear day.
Two minutes before I took the shot, I was holding the tripod over my head in chest-deep water with my back against the sea-wall behind me! Notice the wet rocks? I wanted to get in close to capture the foam in front when it formed during the pullback of the water.
11:20 could be an exciting time of the day in the Vehicle Design Department of Llwyngwril Systems. Elevenses would just be finished. Tuesdays were especially fraught. The fevered minds of the design team would be set racing by the sugar rush from sweet tea and chocolate bourbon biscuits. Some people even managed to get a whole mini-packet of three to themselves. Wednesdays were calmer, as it was digestives and nobody liked those.
The Techno Snail was obviously designed on a Tuesday. We'd like to say that the spacemen of Classic Space were duped again by Llwyngwril Systems into buying something that they didn't want. Sadly this was not the case. The designers thought it was a funny vehicle and so did the spacemen.

This was actually inspired by Andres Lenander's Steampunk Snail. I'm not sure what sort of biscuits he likes...
You can watch the Snail in action here on Flickr.
The Snail is powered by the Lego 12799 pull-back motor.
L515 approaches Swede and enters the CN Matteson Sub with a pack of EMDs and a decent size pullback. April 2025
~Explore #419~ Glad everyone enjoyed this !! :)
This is the setup shot for my dots! :) Just givin' back to all those who have so kindly shared their's :)
CN L515 takes off onto the cloverleaf at Matteson with a colorful lashup and sizeable pullback for Kirk. July 2025
Drogheda. Ireland. 2011
Weird freestyle, paint situation was at an all time low, one tin of black, one tin of green montana and a shit load of fucking mtn, not a good recipe in irish weather! haha.
Made the best of a bad situation. Kind of like it.
Bridge shots to follow.....
Nice one Pullback for the photo!
This was the sunset on March 1st. I was pretty awestruck and got soaked up to the waist a couple times here on the south end of the beach. This beach has a tendency to roll in unsually high every so often and on the southern end the cliff walls funnel all the water right at you! There were ~6-10ft waves breaking this day and lots of lateral pullback which created the waves in this shot.

L515 sports a solo IC SD70 on the pullback seen approaching Flossmoor on the CN/IC Chicago Sub. May 2025
The track on the right is the Bulkley Sub coming in from Smithers, with the signal governing west bound movements into/through Terrace.
I am painfully aware that I haven't posted anything in nearly a year. Been busy with builds, but too damn lazy to set up my photography area. These should do for now...
A friend gave me one of these little pull-back chassis; so, I felt obliged to build something cool upon it. Wanted to incorporate some recent parts too.
So, yeah, there's bonus content--it rips like hell across the floor!

Update (Dec 12/12): The photo above appears in this promotional video for the Flickr iPhone app at 52 seconds and again at 16 seconds and in the final pullback of the phone running the app (bottom right corner).
CP train T49 drops in off the Mactier Sub using the connecting track into Lambton Yard, crossing Old Weston Road near Davenport. This is West Toronto jct in the city's west end, and even in super-modernized 2021, is still a hotbed of action over night.
Lighting setup (plus SB-800 on BG and ABR/Moon Unit on axis) for these photos. Shot for social media package for a financial services company.
