One of my all-time favorite things at Disneyland are the steam locomotives that circle the park carrying guests to stations at New Orleans Square, Toontown, Tomorrowland and Main Street USA. When 4 trains are on the tracks, they can be seen at the stations and overpasses every 7 minutes or so...
Here is E.P. Ripley, Disneyland Railroad Engine No. 2, named for the President of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad who was one of the original sponsors of Disneyland in 1955.
Unlike the locomotives at other Disney Parks, E.P. Ripley was hand-built by Walt Disney Studios specifically for Disneyland in 1954. She was up-scaled from a locomotive named Lilly Belle that Walt Disney ran on his personal backyard railway, The Carolwood Pacific Railroad.
Interestingly, the original Lilly Belle locomotive can be seen on display at Disneyland inside the Main Street Station...
For more information on Disney Railroads, I highly recommend a visit to Burnsland Blog, the lair of Steve Burns who is also an avid Disney photographer and a major Disney Railroad Junkie:

I went out shopping today and found this book. It's a Ripley's yearbook designed for a younger audience. I had kind of forgotten about it because the preparations were made over a year ago. It's nice they contacted me about this one. You may remember the last Ripley's Enter if you Dare issue where they used an image of mine I had no knowledge of. When I asked them last year, they informed me that they got it from a news agency that did an article on my water drops. At the time I didn't know that they were allowed to sell these images to other media.
I didn't mind - it was good exposure and I have always liked Ripley's. It was an honour.
I don't usually mention when my work gets published, but this is very cool. There was another this past summer where Real-The Canadian Kid's Magazine, which is a local publication, used quite a few of my pictures and I made a chocolate chip cookie with falling chips for them :-) That was a fun one.
Best of the new year to everyone.
Seen from the food queue of the Hungry Bear restaurant at Disneyland, E.P. Ripley makes her way through Critter Country towards the next stop in Toontown. I have had this shot in mind for a while now...Unfortunately, the Hungry Bear has been under renovation for a couple of months. Finally open again, the Hungry Bear is built on a raised platform above Rivers of America and Critter Country affording excellent views, and a new tasty menu....

I'd have preferred a lower viewpoint but the ground was wet so I shot 3 brackets at 1 EV increments from as low a viewpoint as possible without getting muddy. Merged in Aurora HDR with a tad of additional sharpening and vignette in LR.
It always seems to be here - since a few years ago but it’s all legal . I don’t think it’s ex Surrey A.S. as I don’t remember them having Transits but ……

Here's a pix of Ripley Castle along with a reflection in the lake. It was an overcast day. I was glad I could still see a reflection. I took Goldmanoz's advice & cropped the pix.

The Ripley Creek Inn, located in the little town of Stewart in Northern B.C, is used for our heliskiing operations since 2003. Lots of snow falls there during winter time, due to its coastal location at proximity of Alaska.
Ripley and Hicks stalking that mousey. The Savannahs are such entertaining cats. Watch as their eyes get bigger as they get close to the mouse.
Not an exact replica of the Nostromo interior. more of a deleted scene from an unused backdrop. Still a WIP, not sure how effective the background is. Sometimes you don't know until it's finished. I'm contemplating painting the wall elements black.
Btw if you want to see someone who knows what they're doing with Alien dioramas, you should be looking at this:
