My BlueberryStyle 16mm small iris eyes arrived for Alto, my SWITCH Doha on a Mirodoll 66cm (NS-C) body.
Put her on my Celine's a line body. and her head fits it a bit better. But I like how the b line body is a little taller. But her head is not so poseable on that body. Might sand it down a little and see if that helps.
Another view of the #3 switch (to the right) into the Joseph Behr scrap yard off of the CN Freeport Subdivision. Notice the two yellow color guard rails bracketing the frog. These help to ensure that the wheels crossing the frog don't stray from their intended route. The small sign says "CN ENDS". In the background is the East Rockford control point / interlocking (CN M.P. 85.6W and IR M.P. 22.5) which is the location of the remote switch to the Illinois Railway lead. The IR can be seen coming in from the left. This is how the IR accesses the CN to switch Behr as well as the CN West Yard and the DM&E / IR yard which are just across the Rock River. This is also how the CP accesses the northbound ICE line at West Rockford. The CN curves to the right and passes under the dark structure visible just to the right of the signal heads. That is the historic Seminary Street timber stringer vehicle bridge built in 1901 and rehabilitated in 2008.
Amtrak B32-8WH #504 switches a Horizon Fleet coach at the Chicago yard. A friend of mine quipped that Amtrak basically bought 3200-hp switchers when they got these.
This one is from back in February of this year when I visited the Vulture Mine with a few local photogs.
There are a lot of great shots to be had there and unfortunately I've heard rumors that they may be closing it down. I sure hope those aren't true as I would like to revisit here again sometime.

After a good series of storms came through the area, I decided to get out and photograph a small section of the North End of the NorthWestern Pacific Railroad. I stayed within the Cloverdale, CA., area but these are the various stages of decay of the railroad.

Title and Trick: I asked my son what skateboard trick he was demonstrating. He said it was call 'Switch Flip'. Perfect title for the quilt and I hid it in the border (left lower edge - can you spot it?). I will also use this as the name of the quilting technique and a potential series as it is a 'switch' up from what I usually do and it requires a 'flip' to sew from the back. Thanks to my daughter for this suggestion.
