I liked these scales that were on a small alley in Siena. Lots of people will be looking at these after the festive season (me included!).

I have a confession to make. I wasn’t particularly interested in visiting Kolkata’s best known monument, the Victoria Memorial. It is unquestionably large in scale, but I’ve never considered it all that photogenic. To state the obvious, it is more British than Indian—a lasting reminder of the British Raj as much as Queen Victoria herself. But the monument was within walking distance of the South Park Street Cemetery, and there was one part of it that I wanted to see for myself.
The British Empire was at its peak in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, controlling up to a quarter of the Earth’s land mass. It was during this period that Queen Victoria ruled over the Empire for more than six decades. In 1874, it was Victoria who dissolved the British East India Company in favor of direct British rule. When she died in 1901, Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, decided that a monument should be built in her honor to document the history of her reign. Located in the center of Calcutta, the capital of Bristish India at the time, it would become (and remains to this day) the largest monument to a monarch anywhere in the world.
Despite being clearly British in style, there are nods to both Mughal and Hindu architectural styles. Each corner features a chhatri (the open domed structures) and the entire memorial is clad in white marble from the same quarry that supplied the marble used for the construction of the Taj Mahal. This was not a coincidence. Lord Curzon also specified that the chamber beneath the central dome be larger than that of the Taj. He was clearly mindful of the competition.
By the time construction began in 1906, Lord Curzon had returned to Britain. Five years later, in 1911, the British decided to move the capital to Delhi. Both of these events dampened enthusiasm for the memorial. When it was finally completed in 1921, it was something less than the centerpiece of the capital city of British India that was originally envisioned.

Clagett Farm has a few of these funny dry goods-store-on-the-prairie style scales. They're so charming!
Un paesino che assomiglia ad un Presepe, tutto in salita, tutto vicoli e con la gran parte delle case, piccole, su più piani e per fondamenta, la nuda roccia.

I'm not sure what were calling this one yet, but it is three pieces, and were thinking about adding a staging yard as well. It has functioning signals, hundreds of lights and some neon signs, three mainline routes and a Portram line below the city.

I shot this picture in 2010
One more shot from the same area is probably overkill, but hey, it's our photo album and this is a "we were here" photo. It's been days since we left Abiquiu and this photo still gets me. So much to see, such a grand scale, so much beauty all around...
ODC - Scale
just look at her, she doesn't like to be scaled
Thank you for your comments and nice words, I'm very appreciate this:-)
A video taken on my HO Scale layout. All but one of the buildings in the center of the layout are from a layout I had as a child 40 years ago; most are Plasticville and Atlas structures. The rolling stock is a mixture of Tyco and Athern equipment from the original layout, Life Like equipment for two train sets that were given to me, and Bachmann. The trackwork is Life-Like EZ Track.
Since it is a throwback to my youth as well as for the kids and grandkids, it is all DC and horn hook couplers for ease of use. The feel is also a throwback to the small towns I remember growing up; with lots of "easter eggs" from moments and places in my life.
The song is Life's Railway to Heaven by Johnny Cash,
It said 78 kilo when I stepped on the scale. I took a few more photos in the cafe which also looks like a museum and I will post those tomorrow.
ODC - scale.
At work. Those of you who know what I do know what we use this for, the reason for the color differences, and know why I couldn't post a color photo :)
Ja, natürlich kenne ich diese Waagen. Sie waren früher auf fast allen Berliner Bahnhöfen zu finden.
Yes, of course I know these scales. They used to be found at almost all Berlin train stations.
My new Victorinox Alox Classic Swiss Army Knife. The silver alox (aluminum oxide) scales with the red shield are gorgeous.
Here is another angle of this N Scale layout, focusing on the coal mine and airstrip next to the mine.
Started adding more roofing using material from Builders In Scale.
Tried a bit of shadow with an old model tree I had.
