There are some odd sights on the A1. I passed a couple of these places - I've captured only a third of this site. I assume this is a place for second hand parts and they take off the bits you need and post them to you.

Yes, Yolanda, we all do it sooner or later. And if you've been in photography longer than most, then you've done it more than most. Buyer's remorse. It's called GAS. Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
From left to right.......
A Tokina POS from 1988. I picked this lens up while in the Navy from a fellow sailor. After this mistake, I made myself a hard rule. I would only purchase name brand lenses. This Tonika was a super telephoto macro disappointment. A disappointment so horrendous that it made me swear off third party lenses with the exception of the Vivitar Series 1.
Beside it is a Holga lens with a Nikon F mount. A $50 POS lens to make my expensive digital camera purposefully take crappy photographs. Brilliant. Yeah, I did that. I am so ashamed....
Behind that is a 300mm Nikon telephoto. A 300mm prime. To shoot lions in Africa. What was I thinking?
Next up, a Sigma lens. Did I say I swore off third party lenses? Well I must have been drunk when I bought that one. At least it was used and cheap.
Next is the wide angle lens for my Yashica 124G. Damn it would have been nice to have the corresponding viewing lens as well. Duh.........
Then there's the Tamaron telephoto. Wait...... I bought another third party lens? It was only $20 used. I should have put the money on a horse at the track. I never used the lens.
Finally, the last one, I don't even know what it fits. I bought it at a garage sale. Five bucks. I could have purchased a burger and fries instead.
And these are only a few of the lenses. Then there's the camera bodies..... All used and inexpensive film bodies. I can afford them now! Just in case film should ever make a huge comeback or an Electromagnetic 'Scalar' war should scatter all our pixels into oblivion.
Tripods....... What about the tripods? The crap on three legs I bought before I realized the need for a good tripod. And then the extra tripods I bought to hold cameras until I'm ready to use them.
All that being said, I bought and use a Pro-Optic (Korean) 8mm lens. There's nothing offered by Nikon like it that is even close in price.
So yes, you're not alone. Those lenses that you think you need an adapter for? Nah...... Free lens them. Or purchase the corresponding body. Problem solved.

One of the core reasons that I was so eager to visit the Montana Rail Link was the impending buyout that would see the BNSF take full control over the railroad, which had been announced a few months prior but was supposed to take effect sometime between March and April. While that thought was certainly in the back of my mind, I guess some executives had another idea as the BNSF top brass ran a special executive train to tour the eastern end of the MRL. After hitting territory at Laurel, the train ran up to Helena before climbing Mullan Pass and turning the train at Blossburg for the return trip back east towards Laurel. If this trip was for the top brass to inspect their new trackage, then it’s convenient they turned around instead of continuing west of Missoula where the signals still date back to the Northern Pacific for now.

Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.
Ghosts included...?? Actually, my childhood home for a few years, so I spent some happy Halloweens here. Not haunted or scary at all. Buy with confidence! Sale ends at midnight. Happy Halloween!
After leaving the Soo late, CN L550 made decent time across the U.P. until Port Inland, where the train just after 3 am went into emergency. The train was limped to Gulliver where a bad order car had to be set out. 3 1/2 hours after going into emergency, the car was set out at Gulliver and the train was put back together and continued west. This gave us ample time to get ahead of the train and find a spot. We got lucky and found a home for sale on the seldom shot south side of the bridge over the Whitefish River that had no occupants, so we became "prospective home buyers" for a little bit, and then decided it just wasn't for us.
This is what fungus looks like in a lens - bummer! That's e-bay for you - you pays your money and takes your chance. It's buried inside on one of the optics rather than on the surface, so no getting at it without costly professional intervention or a DIY hatchet job which would probably only make it worse or cause some other terminal problem.
Luckily the guy turned out to be a very conscientious seller and was mortified that he hadn't spotted it (the rest of the lens was absolutely mint and to be fair it is surprisingly easy to miss if you don't look carefully and at the right angle - took a lot of attempts to get this photo to show it). So I ended up with a refund, a new - albeit worthless - lens to play with and a lesson learned.
The good news is that it still works okay for now (today's other photos were taken with it - I can't see any real affect as yet) - the bad news is its days are probably numbered and sooner rather than later. Hey ho.
It's a Canon 24-85 f3.5 USM if anyone's interested, which is supposed to be a pretty good lens under normal circumstances, at least for those of us who can't afford shiny new ones or L series!
This 2ft gauge 0-4-0T built by the Avonside Engine Company in 1933, sits unrestored in the shed at Beamish. This locomotive was built for the Durham County Water Board on the construction of the Burnhope Reservoir where she was named DURHAM. In 1936 she was sold to the Penrhyn Slate Quarry at Bethesda in North Wales where she was renamed OGWEN. When steam on the quarry railways ended in 1965 this locomotive was sold to an American buyer and remained untouched until repatriated in 2012, still in original condition.
Ogwen was finally restored to full working order in October 2021 and made its debut into traffic at the Moseley Railway Trust’s Apedale Valley Light Railway that same month.
It says in red bold letters: "BIG DISCOUNT, LAST ITEM".
I computed silently how much was 59,900 yen less 50%. And voila!!! "It is a good buy", I convinced myself.
Just got too excited with the 50% off that could have triggered memory lapses. I forgot that I don't even know how to swim. Never learned the lesson that some things are not worth dying, I mean, buying for. Oh, I hate myself.
This 1978 Ford C-8000 fire truck is being hauled east from its former home to a new buyer.
Having served 150 mile house BC since it was bought from the Prince George BC fire department who bought it new in 1978. In 1997 150 mile acquired her and ran her as a tender for the time it was there.
The truck is outfitted with a custom body by Superior of Helena, Montana.
"Right. Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite. Fanny by the gaslight. Take a bag, c'mon take a bag. I took a bag home last night. Cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. It's as long as my arm. I wish it was as long as something else. Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape. Here, one price. Ten pound."
While the future was leading this business train as the BNSF 3272 brings the train back towards Helena, the past got to ride along as MRL 4408 trailed on the other end of the train. Due to a lack of ability to spin the consist for a variety of reasons, it was decided to have the OCS train run as a 1x1 set instead of having the power consolidated on just the one end. As such, it felt fitting that MRL 4408 was chosen with it’s clean paint and striking deep blue color standing out nicely against the snow that still covered the landscape. What will become of these blue ACe’s after the BNSF takeover is anybody’s guess, but I doubt there’s gonna be many more chances to shoot a blue, black, and white ACe with a full string of stainless steel around this neighborhood.
