I found these small hand made paper dolls at the FLTS. They have a new home now. I think eventually you will be seeing more of them.

My FLT taken with a Nikon F4s and Ilford Pan F Plus. Not sure the lens I believe I was holding up and old large format lens but I can't quite recall.... The detail is super on this and I realized how dirty my glass is holding down the negs on the scanner. I will probably re-scan this.

This developer makes gorgeous negatives from Pan F which I have yet to really see, like this. DK 20 is an old fine grain developer which may not be true with modern emulsions, but the negatives are a thing of beauty. They have a certain chrome sheen.

Remarks/comments: Finally a product made and sold in Canada! And with livery of a company that used to very local to me. Couldn't be any more Canadian than that! This is actually the second one of these I've bought now. I purchased the first one back in 2009 from eBay. I don't know when this was released but sometime before that.(Have a read here about BC Rail. The company has a rich history from 1912 until the buyout in 2004 by CN Rail. The line traversed the most treacherous but beautiful landscape west of the Rockies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BC_Rail)
The Herpa name is originally a German brand if you didn't already know. The Herpa name is licensed-used on the package. (History of the Promotex name: www.promotex.ca/info/about_promotex_inc.html)
You don't have to click them links. It's just a good read during this down time we've been having. (-:
Anyway, more about the truck. There's very little metal on the truck. In fact, I believe the only bit of metal on this are the axles holding the wheels to the truck. Since it is all plastic, it is very delicate. The first one I bought, I managed to break the very brittle hinge in which the cab tilts on the chassis. Being based on a railroad that served only in one province, I'm sure this had a limited run (and fan base) so these are very hard to find. Though the casting itself is easy to find with other liveries. With the delicateness mentioned, this stays in the box for protection. While the first one sits on a shelf because it's box is packed away.
