On a quiet Sunday afternoon an Alaska Railroad GP40-2 (built new for the railroad in Jul. 1978) sits just north of the diesel shop next to the wheel garden on the back shop lead track. At this time the 3012 was still wearing the classic 'Alaska Bold' scheme that she was delivered in (albeit with a US DOT emblem on the nose) and was the last GP40-2 wearing this scheme when she was repainted into the modern image 'Baby MAC' livery in 2014.
The ARR buys wheel blanks of assorted sizes that are shipped up in boxcars and then pressed them on to axles in the wheel shop.

two possibilities for Macro Mondays. This is a toy cart of balsa wood with plastic passengers and horse, and glued-on printed paper decoration, quite flimsy and crude but colourful. I bought it for a song on a stall in the passage between Geneva Airport and its railway station, where sometimes flea markets are held. The wheel is 2 inches in diameter.
I thought it was Costa Rican but no, more likely Sicilian.
Taken along a Kentucky back-road.
Thank you for your visit comments and faves much appreciated!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Many thanks for all views, fav's and comments! All are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!
To me, it is a completely lost art to imagine traveling in a conveyance like this, much less building one. Heck, I want a seat warmer, and intermittent wipers.... ODC : lost art
In the year 1968 Julie Driscall and Brian Auger with the band Trinity recorded this song:

I leave it to you to decide whether this recording was better than by others like the Byrdes:
N863UP - Beechcraft B-350 Super KingAir - Wheels UP (operated by GAMA Aviation)
at Toronto Lester B. Pearson Airport (YYZ)
c/n FL-1063 - built in 2016
In 2019 Delta Private Jets and WheelsUP merged - making Delta Air Lines the largest shareholder of Wheels UP
The toy of my daughter :) These are wheels of My Little Pony scooters. When my daughret was younger she loved this cartoon and have many toys related to it :)

I tried to find a title that made reference to "a round peg in a square hole", but couldn't.
