Yours truly "breaking in" as a tower operator and copying a train order at AC Tower in Marion, Ohio.

Enjoy!
A B&W take on the previous shot. I came across this sad little scene today and I can't deny it really tugs at my heartstrings. This tired, dirty and abandoned stuffed toy with chunks of its lost stuffing piled around it, left behind on the beaten up patio of a recently closed-down bar on West Broadway - soon to become just another new generic building no one can afford to live in. Such a melancholy atmosphere and I confess I seriously debated whether to rescue this little kitty-cat from its sad demise.

May 1975. The operator at Rochester Tower hoops up train orders to a westbound coal train west of Conway Yard.
A little spot in Victoria's Chinatown area. Lunch boxes are lined in the window and ready to fill orders with.
I mentioned as a side note in an earlier post that I got a new camera while in Victoria. It's new to me, but my Dad's old SLR that he bought in the late 70's (pictured below in the comments). A Pentax ME Super with a 35 mm lens. There is also a 28-80mm lens but I haven't tried it yet.
I thought I'd try a few roles while I was visiting to see how it went. Well the first roll didn't advance at all and the second I only got 3 pictures. After that I was more careful about loading up the film and got some shots.
But I love using this little camera. It gives such a satisfying click when the shutter is pressed and is nice to slow down a bit to set focus and aperture as needed for the proper exposure.
For this roll, I got the negative developed and then had the pictures put on CD so I could import them into Lightroom. This was colour film that I was using but put it through Nik Silver Efex Pro.
I've got a b&w roll developed and ready this next week which I'm excited to see. Hopefully there will be a few keepers. I think I will primarily stick to b&w when using this camera.

Franklin Park, IL.
When the Engineer grabbed his orders both of the hoops fell, so there was nothing for the hind end crew to do but watch as they went by. Don't know if they backed up or the headend read them over the radio.
K’hall wiped his mouth and sat back, weighing everything Reyka had just revealed. At last he met Reyka’s eyes. “What do you need us to do?” he asked. “I will need everything you know about these Horocyclians.”
“That will be provided,” Reyka said. “My team is translating an ancient codex that deals with them. We expect that will add substantially to what we know now”
He folded his hands. “Your first task is to make contact with the two humans. Have them take you to the temple.”
Reyka’s tone darkened. “If the situation is as they described, you’ll locate the creatures and determine what stage of development they are in. That will tell us how critical the situation is. Their metamorphosis spans centuries—possibly millennia. It sounds as though the larvae have already emerged from their gestation chambers, but beyond that, we know nothing.”
He continued, “We have detected no signs of a harvesting operation. That suggests they may still be in what we would classify as the nymph stage—far easier to eliminate than fully matured adults.”
“Nymph stage?” K’hall frowned. “What kind of creatures are these?”
“Insects,” Reyka said. “Large. Ravenous. And disturbingly intelligent.”
Bext stiffened, trying not to show her revulsion.
“We believe the nymphs develop to adults in water,” Reyka added. “The codex should confirm it. You will need to search for a pool—possibly within the temple itself.”
K’hall leaned forward. “And the portal you mentioned?”
“Ah. Yes.” Reyka’s expression tightened. “Inside the tomb. Use caution around it. It is likely guarded—and they may be able to observe anything that happens within the chamber.”

“I have just come from the Supreme Council,” K’hall said, voice low. “Since our assignment is to guard Earth, our orders are the Horocyclian infestation must be erased—utterly—no matter the cost. Nothing unexpected. What did you learn in the command briefing?”
“Command has authorized a full flight,” Bext answered. “Ramva2, 8, and 9 will run with us. Those crews were in the brief. Axiom10 will transport us across dimensions and drop us within Earth’s reach in four Earth hours."
She continued. "Intelligence provided a data chip —everything they know about the Horocyclians. I’ll load it into the ship’s core once we are aboard. We will have time to study the essentials before launch. Avhol is preparing our ship now.”
Signal lights flickered. K’hall paused, gaze narrowing down the long hangar walkway.
“They’re already towing our ship into launch position,” he murmured. “Looks like our departure’s been advanced. We need to go.”

With their locomotive #30 slowed down to yard speed, the crew of the Texas State Railroad prepares to demonstrate the time-honored technique of "hooping orders" to the engine crew at the station in Maydelle, TX. Standing on the platform, holding the hoop is crewman Greg Udolph, playing the part of our Stationmaster. The train orders he intends to pass to the crew can be seen as a folded piece of paper, tied or clipped onto strings stretched across the hoop. In the gangway on the locomotive, a crew member, in this case, Fireman Steve Lerro, stands ready to grab the hoop on the fly as the train runs past the platform. Over the years, a number of techniques and hoop designs were used. In some cases, the orders were tied in a slip knot and would be pulled loose by the cab crew, with the hoop remaining in the hands of the man on the ground. In other cases, the entire hoop would be grabbed and simply discarded overboard, once the document was retrieved.
This image was captured during an April, 2019 photo shoot on the Texas State Railroad, which featured the former Tremont & Gulf Mikado #30, lettered in the livery of the Louisiana short line that first owned her.
Small scene featuring several of my latest builds.
This is the first time I've build a larger scene, so I hope it doesn't suck to much :)
Suggestions for improvement are appreciated.

This Caetano Algarve bodied Bedford YNV has been a well known cafe at Brightwell on the A12 for some 18 years. However with road changes and a major new housing development happening, it has now closed and will be removed very shortly - the surrounding trees and vegitation have already been cut down. New as C317 GRL to Brown & Davies of Truro and possibly the last Algrave left?
Fig off with Sax as per usual. Samurai-Punk. Let me know what you think. Whoever is stealing shit out of my cart for TMC week- better watch ya back boyoyoy
Been here 40 years said and done
running this place out of the ground
fighting change, avoiding system
Just comes a point when your just here anyway like
it don't last forever though this slide
although it's too late for his union
don't stay in one place too long
his trusted council, twisted fate
as he leaves with his old tatted case
last orders called on him this time round
