Operator, well, could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
Operator, oh, could you help me place this call?
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels
No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feels
Operator, well, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh, you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
But isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real but that's not the way it feels

Last shot of a 90 minute session with five freights of four different operators. Not a bad result in Britain today!
An old custom that needed new light. Added some little touches like the wire for the NVGs and a nice baseplate. Hope you enjoy!
SAS Radio Operator - from the Action Force series of figures. SAS Force did not have their own Op so I borrowed a Z-Force operator backpack and gave him a new M-16 from my bits box.

Dylan's post the other day [https://www.flickr.com/photos/lego_armed-forces/32319792464/in/dateposted/] really inspired me to try multicam again and I knew that I wanted to have another go at my old favourite SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU operator.
This figure is comprised of mostly my cast pieces and complimented with a Tiny Tactical weapon, attachments and some other TT parts (chem lights, radio, knee pads, carabiner and admin pouch).
The G-Bricks parts in this figure are:
-Ops Core (Spec Ops version)
-GPNVG's
-Gunsight Mandible
-Mechanix Gloves
-New torso (includes shemagh), new legs and new arm assemblies, which will be available individually.
The legs were sculpted without knee pads, so they will have wider scope for use. Also the pockets on the arms are more generic looking on the actual casts (these have been modified) again, so they can have a slightly wider scope for use.
Lastly, I know that I've done this figure loads of times already, but I think this one is nicer looking than the other versions I've made ; )
On a rare sunny afternoon, a southbound VRE approaches Crystal City with the Washington Monument in the background. Known as "RO", the control point just out of frame is named for Roslyn Operator, which is the tower that would've controlled this very busy stretch of railroad back in the day. The RF&P is about to be transformed into an even busier triple and quad tracked mainline from DC to Richmond, as demand for both freight and passenger trains frequently exceeds capacity.

She looks like she's 14 - I think her shirt says "Proud to be Alsatian"
Funny that it said so in English..
This is what happens when someone pushes the wrong button on an industrial oven to racks of plastic trays full of meat products. Instead of steam cooking the product, the operator selected roasting....at much higher temperature

Last shot after a couple of hours at Tonbridge. Since this train has changed operator it uses the much better for photography up slow rather than the loop.
Lightbox.
The soldier who ordered this slick rifle wanted his father's VN-era M16 in his hands on his next mission. To do that, the entire firing mech had to be replaced with a more reliable modern M16 unit, and the upper receiver was replaced with an elevated rail Sweetwater custom.
In addition, SPW fabricated our own ultra lighweight two-piece polymer composite handgaurd with an aluminum heatshield. The original lower receiver was remilled with a solid-latch sliding fire selector and rubberized grip pads on the front, and the original solid stock was refinished, bored out and fitted with a sliding rubberized cheekrest on the left and top of the weapon.
The iron sights have been replaced with a tritium front ring and post and an illuminated shaded notch at the rear. Uses polymer magazines. The new RSCT red dot completes the all-purpose package.
Sorry for the lack of activity. I was at camp last week and I am leaving for vacation on Thursday. When I get back expect some lego to come.

We had booked a hire car through Sixt for our time in Ivano-Frankivsk in order to head out of the city to photographic spots that were hard to reach by train. Having had a bad experience of the company before on a trip to Latvia/Lithuania we didn't really know what to expect when we left the station to collect our car, especially as they didn't actually have an office in the city and we'd have to collect it off a 'representative'! Sure enough though after giving them a call they appeared with our vehicle and soon we were making our way out of the city on some of Ukraine's finest pot-holed roads.
From our research we'd seen a well photographed spot from an overbridge at Yezupil' around 30 mins outside Ivano-Frankivsk but just as we parked up a 2M62 hauled freight blasted passed underneath. We attempted to chase it but gave up and headed back to the bridge in the hope that something else would turn up. It wasn't long before we heard another freight train powering up the gradient and we were rewarded with 2M62-0755a/b of the Ivano-Frankivsk Cement Company. This private operator is one of very few in Ukraine and has a small fleet of locos to haul stone trains the short distance between their quarry at Dubivtsi and cement factory at Yamnytsia. The loco is seen here wearing the smart livery of the company at Yezupil' with a rake of hoppers for Yamnytsia on 23rd October 2019.
Two telegraph operators are keeping track of train movements in their office at the LS&MS station in North East, PA. From a night photo shoot at the Lake Shore Railway Museum with lighting by NetzlofDesign.
Operators from the Special Operations Group trains daily on the range. Operator transitioned from his MK18 to a M870SP shotgun
Oh I referred Richard Goff but it look similar with hos multicam operator (Sorry... Richard...). I tried to custom Desert Camo version... Sadly the Tan color was empty... so I custom multicam version I will custom Spetznatz or FSB
Just a quick fig to showcase a new BA mod.
The gun is a modded BA PDW (with shortened rails to accept a SiDan scope) with a Mega Bloks silencer painted and glued on the end. The silencer was originally a horrible tan color, works great for mods though!
Fig was kinda slapped together but I like the combos of the armor/arms/legs/balaclava.
Got another GARC on the way!
Ha Ha. Thought this was pretty amusing. :) Anything that brings a even a little smile to your face is worth posting.
My final shot of the session before moving on. Another open access operator using former CD242 traction.
The image above is a 2000 X 1250 pixel scan from an original Kodachrome™ slide. Anything that is not from an original Kodachrome™ is noted as such, including later digital images. There is also a smaller number of scanned prints, and these are noted as well.
Beginning in Q4 of 2022, older photos previously uploaded will begin to be replaced by an image that is double the size.
The images in the various galleries were scanned from my slide collection, gathered over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and others acquired over those years through trading, purchasing, and attending conventions.
This photostream was created in 2017 for the sole purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, and has had over 10 million image views (to 2022)

Vintage telephone probably circa 1960. JIm Croce, Operator 1972.
One of my many childhood ambitions was to be a telephone operator. This ambition was never realised despite at the age of 8 me spending many hours practising such phrases as, "Number please" "Do you mind waiting a few minutes?" "I'm afraid the line's engaged" and " Caller, press button A." Ironically in mid-life, I ended up working as a manager in customer service for British Telecom, where none of those phrases had any use :))
Processed with Photoshop for Sliders Sunday. HSS!
kinda Ukraine-conflict-inspired,
as well as a small dab of DayZ.
Ignore the fig dump filler content, there is something on the way. Thanks for taking a look!
Clay Shaw Bridge (2001), also called the 17th Street Causeway Bridge, is a pair of twin parallel 54-foot-wide causeway structures, each incorporating a double-leaf bascule bridge, separated by a 13-foot open air median. This new bridge, spanning 210 feet between trunnions, increases navigable waterway width of the Intracoastal Waterway from 100 feet to 125 feet, and vertical clearance from 22 feet to 55 feet, over the previous 1956 bridge at this location – the Commodore Brook Memorial Causeway. Striking features of this bridge are its V-shaped Carina piers (providing excellent visibility for shipping navigation) and the Art Deco-style bridge operator’s house. Also notable are the open traffic railings (for greater vista visibility), emergency shoulders, bicycle lanes and sidewalks – with pedestrian overlooks incorporated into the bascule spans. Owner: Florida Department of Transport; Design consultant for piers and bascule bridge: EC Driver & Associates; Design of Bridge Structures: FIGG Bridge Engineers; Roadway: Keith & Schnars.
