This one was a surprise, with an immaculate 60002 working 0E23 08:40 Toton TMD to Doncaster Belmont Down Yard, presumably having undergone maintenance.
We offered our home and cozy sleeping quarters to our grown grandson and his friend. They went to Bonaroo every day in the month of June, this summer. And near the end of their visit with us, the friend gifted me this little fellow, but during the backpack journey home, the little guy lost a leg! No worry! I used a party hors d'oeuvre stick and cut it to fit, painting it as best I could. The little guy is as good as new!

Another frame from my first visit to this well known spot.
Finger Lakes Railway road train GS2 is departing Solvay on their way back nearly 50 miles to their headquarters in Geneva where they began their day. Having dropped their train and switched for a bit they have gathered up their traffic that arrived off the CSXT or NYSW interchange here on the outskirts of Syracuse. Leading the train are consecutively numbered GP38-2s 2002 (blt. May 1966 as a GP40 CN 4005) and 2003 (blt. Jan. 1967 as a GP40 MILW 154).
Both units are dressed in a sharp 'lighting stripe' scheme that pays homage to the New York Central heritage of this route known as the 'Auburn Road' a secondary line that dates from 1838. Becoming part of the New York Central System in 1853 it was actually one of three parallel lines the NYC came to own between Syracuse and Rochester. It somehow survived to be passed to successors Penn Central and Conrail before finally being spun off to the newly created Finger Lakes in 1995. Today 76 miles of the Auburn Road from Solvay (just outside Syracuse) to Canandaigua survives under FGLK auspices and here on the east end of that route is where we find the train passing the old NYC non automatic block semaphore signal forever displaying and approach indication here at about MP 4.1. Helping to round out the scene is the distinct NYC style cast concrete whistle post.

Just table scrapping ideas based on the 1x4 hinge plate and thought I would share. Probably not a new idea, but just something I have never tried. It could possibly be expanded upon by adding more hinges, therefore theoretically creating more shapes.
