Here we are at North Fond du Lac, WI on 04-03-1976 observing SOO LINE arrivals and departures. SOO GP30 #711 has just arrived from Stevens Point with an F7B and an F7A for power. Ready to depart to the left is an F7-U30C combo. The men are holding a discussion at the scale house.
An HO scale model GS-4 Locomotive provides a graphic comparison of 3.5mm to the foot railroading vs. 12" to the foot scale. The young gentleman who owned that little Daylight was a participant in this October, 2018 Lerro Productions photo shoot. My understanding is that he's a long-time railfan, and 4449 has always been his favorite locomotive. The HO scale model was given to him as a gift by his girlfriend. On this day, he was seeing the real thing for the very first time. As dusk approached, he used that 12" to the foot model as a back-drop to propose to his girlfriend, with Pete Lerro there to record photos of her response.....which was a pretty emphatic YES! It was a pretty good day for this particular Daylight fan.
LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

I felt like building some more micro scale T-formers, so I decided on Shockwave. Consists of 30 pieces and transforms from robot to tank without adding or taking away parts.
At the Nob Hill Shop & Stroll.
Fiddy love.
Be sure and check out Marc's take on the same scene, more or less.
Shot with Marc's 50mm F1.8 Nikon lens. Manual focus on the D40x, but still a sweet little piece of glass, and cheap too.

I'm currently working on a Cafe-Corner scale building, and I've been building some furniture for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been thinking clearly about the scale - this furniture takes up half the room. I need to be thinking and building smaller.
L to R: refrigerator, big screen tv, stereo console
The refrigerator doesn't have a back, and it has a piece of tape on top of it. The tape isn't holding it together, it's holding it together better.
I always enjoy building N scale city buildings but every now and then I buy some made by other people. I was so happy to get this model at a really great price from a guy named Paul. His work is really quite amazing. I've bought a few from him but this is one of my favorites. It's a collection of a couple of Lunde Studios buildings and a DPM building. Really well built, weathered and detailed. I thought I'd share some photos of it on Facebook tonight. I'm so happy with this model. It's definitely one of my favorites that I own.
I also hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving this weekend. 😃
I've been wanting to take pictures of my teeny tiny Silverbeam ponies for a while now :) they are perfectly 1:4 scaled. I hope the colors on these turned out okay, I edited them on my laptop and its a color gank :/
Cappella Bizantina
Chiesa di San Nicola dei Greci, meglio conosciuta come la Chiesetta dello Spedale in quanto pare che, durante il regno borbonico, questa fu trasformata in ospedale per offrire cure ai meno abbienti. Originariamente, la chiesa era parte integrante di un monastero bizantino, ma oggi ne rimangono solo pochi ruderi, all’interno dei quali sono rimasti intatti gli affreschi della cappella principale dell’antica chiesa bizantina, nei quali è ben visibile l’effige di San Nicola.
I never realized how many interesting buildings and views there are in the town I live in until I seriously started to scout around for backgrounds.
The one thing I have to do is wait until the shops close so there aren't any cars or trucks mixing in with the Elgin Park vibe.
Usually early in the morning or on the weekends is the best time.
The Holidays, though, are great because everyone leaves town so the streets tend to be empty.
When I was young, I would purposely take walks by way of short cuts and back alleys to avoid seeing people. It gave me the impression that I was the only person around.
But I must add here, I liked the fact that I could walk by an open window and hear a radio or a muted conversation, or off in the distance I could hear a train rolling by.
How interesting that decades later I would be photographing such scenes.
I know, I know, perhaps I should see a therapist. Actually I did but there were no inroads made on this particular subject.
Just think, if there were, Elgin Park might not exist!
Now that's a scary thought.
