In a beautiful winter scene, C64 heads west to go serve some local industries in Fairport Harbor as NS 5204 leads 4 cars through the snow covered woods on the east side of Painesville.
NS C64 cruises through Unionville, Ohio in the first snow of the winter and what a snow it was, dumping close to 24 inches of snow in some parts of northern Ohio. C64 was only 7 cars long and I was only able to see the first two behind the locomotive, after that, snow.
After making the half mile walk across the sand at Mentor Headlands park to be in position for when the CSL Frontenac departed, I started hearing NS switching on the radio, very close by. I guessed that nothing was going to happen with the Frontenac for a couple of hours and that I was hearing local C64 switch the LyondellBassel plant in Fairport Harbor. So I took the chance of not shooting anything and trekked back through the sand and around the 5 mile drive to get on the other side of the river. The reward was that they were still switching the plant where they manufacture resins for wiring insulation. I'm not sure if I compete with them or buy their products. This is at the end of a short segment of the B&O line to Fairport Harbor that is accessed by running over the former Fairport, Painesville, and Eastern from the connection with the former NKP at Perry. The C64 local runs out of Conneaut. I've wanted to catch the local here but never knew when they came to town. And I still got back across the river way before the Frontenac left.
When I was young my parents got us a C64. My favourite cassette was Bruce Lee. I loved that game so much, especially the sounds.

I tried putting some of the screen work, ladders and lanterns around the figures as part of the base, but it just detracted from the interaction between them IMO. Since this is supposed to go on my desk I wanted it to be reasonable simple in construction and able to be viewed from multiple sides.
The hardest call I had to make was the chin part on Bruce. Since it was based on an 8-bit 2D image I went with what looked best from a variety of angles. I could equally have justified making the chin pixel recessed but ultimately went with this one.
The base needs work, but until I get more white bricks (to put sideways) this will do.
I don't know how but the back end of the drive is more yellow than front. Power supply for C64 was made by my father at home.
My first (and the best ever) Commodore 64 with 1541-II drive. My dad made me a custom power supply (the original one was missing) -- it was hard (and expensive) to get that one in Poland those days.
Commy had a reset button (wired by someone else before) and 2 more holes (where I stuck those lame elephant stickers, when I was 9 or 10).
We are now in a developing second phase of coronavirus (Nov 2020), and journeys to Carmarthen or other towns remain infrequent (as of 9 Nov Wales is out of a fortnight lockdown - England entered lockdown on 5 November for four weeks). Since the March shut-down for Covid I have taken the opportunity to upload shots from before September 2010. In-between contemporary shots, I am uploading photos pre-SPNC, from the days of my old Olympus E-1/E-330. Not many are any good but the exercise has given me an opportunity to look back. One thing that has struck me is how limiting the effect of noise was when trying to take (very early) street shots at ISO 800 in relatively dark conditions. I still used zoom lenses quite a lot until SPNC and am glad to have been educated in the use of a wider angle lens.
For the first time I've managed to transfer some floppy C64 5'25" disks using SC under Windows. XA1541 cable allows you to do it. Yay!

This is the legendary Commodore C64, the most selling computer of the last millenium. This is my C64. The one, that I have bought in 1982. I have never expected that it would show anything, when I have switched it on. I had to built a special cable (C64 -> S-Video) and get a converter (S-Video -> HDMI) to connect it to an ordinary HDMI monitor. I am so much in love :-))))
My father once had a problem to distinguish between the 0 and the 8 on the little screen of the SX64, so I have modified the font for him (I have made another character rom). He was younger, than I am now. I think, I will be grateful for that modification, too.
A companion photo to the prior view is NS C64 local's caboose lost in a white out of blowing snow from the train as it speeds west to Painesville and Fairport, OH.

The SD-Card reader SD2IEC for the C64 is so much easier to use, so I have coppied a couple of floppy disks already. The fun is, that I can store the disk content on hdd and manipulate it with the C64 emulator VICE. Yes, that is geeky!
A Norfolk Southern local crew drills cars at the yard in Conneaut, Ohio on a dreary October morning. One of NS's GP60's provides the power and a former Conrail transfer caboose tucked behind the locomotive will be put on the rear of the train for use as a shoving platform.
