ODC Theme : Miniature
Taken 2/4/11
I don't often get into the city, so when I had a chance I thought..."hmmm ODC is mini-stuff today and I haven't done a tilt-shift in a long while." So here's a few miniature tilt-shifts from Melbourne.
They don't look any bigger in LARGE view ... but take a look anyways.
The bottom half of the left-side main gear is complete! Went a bit overboard with the detail, as I do from time to time...

The Southsea Miniature Railway first opened in 1932 as a 9.5" gauge line operated by a pair of Bassett Lowke 4-4-2 steam locos. After the war it was taken over by new owners and reguaged to 10 1/4" and operated by a pair of steam locos built by Guest and acquired secondhand from Dudley Zoo. The railway was a huge success .....for example, over 7,000 passengers rode the train over the August bank holiday weekend in 1946.
During the late 1940s/early 50s a company called Southern Miniature Railways built three similar steam locos - 'Valiant' and 'Victory' went to Southsea while the third, 'Vanguard' went to their own railway in Poole Park...in 1951 they also took over operation of the Southsea line.
In the early 1960s the railway built a couple of petrol locos and the steamers were sold off in 1964.
The railway closed at the end of 1976 and the two petrol locos were sold to the railway at Sandham Castle on the Isle of Wight. The line at Southsea reopened the following year as a 17" gauge third-rail electric operation. In 1985 it was rebuilt back to 10 1/4" but finally closed in 1989.
The two old petrol locos were later scrapped when the Sandham Castle railway closed down. The steam locos, Valiant and Victory, spent some years in a scrapyard before being rescued, the best bits of the two were incorporated into one locomotive and this now runs on a private railway in Lincs.
Where was the railway situated? The station was located close to where the aquarium now stands. It then ran down beside the sea wall towards Southsea Castle where it turned around a loop and came back again. Back then this area was known as Children's Corner and in addition to the train there was an outdoor swimming pool, boating lake, amusements and even a zoo. Everything is now gone and apart from the aquarium the remainder of the site is now just an empty field.

AND I filled a tiny glass vial with this and made a pendant!

Re-ment stationery sets are my favorite! Of course, I didn't discover Re-ment until years after it came out, and by then, the Student Stationery set was $199. Sadly, now it's $450 to nearly $600! Obviously, buying a full set is out of the question. Over the years, I have managed to find some of the pieces in used lots; never a full set of anything that I can recall. These art pencils are in great shape, except for some tape residue.
This is a miniature Mini Cooper I placed this toy on a stacked table and raised it to about 4 feet high to make the roof of the car about the same height of the fence and made it look like this car is parked inside my yard.
I got this idea from Ifthi Thank You for sharing your brilliant idea

This is a photo of a miniature Phalenopsis orchid.
Phalaenopsis, known as moth orchids, abbreviated Phal in the horticultural trade, is an orchid genus of approximately 60 species. Phalaenopsis is one of the most popular orchids in the trade, through the development of many artificial hybrids. It is native to southern China, Taiwan, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Queensland.
