Trying to get the scale right on my greebling.
I'm trying to make a pair of control tower/room/building and an antenna station/building/complex in different scales to find the right scale.

BWI Bike Trail - I still do not have a clue really!
Ore loads arrive in Proctor, seen rolling past the scale track. I'm not sure if the train actually gets weighed or not here; but nonetheless is a cool scene. On this dreary morning, the train is led by three SD40 types - an IC leader and two BLE motors trailing.
My friend Carew on Facebook asked me about n scale people in regards to my post last night of putting together a n scale building under construction model that I have lots planned for. I photographed one of my n scale workers and a wheel barrow, cement mixer, etc...in looking through the people I have and realized I don't have enough n scale workers to fill out this construction project. I'm going to order a few more. I do have lots of other things though such a garbage cans, crates, dumpers but I'm leaving out the best details until I finish the model and post photos of it. I'm really excited about this project. I think it will end up being my favorite models. 😃
Armored Scale Insects - Diaspididae is the largest family of scale insects with over 2650 described species in around 400 genera. As with all scale insects, the female produces a waxy protective scale beneath which it feeds on its host plant. Diaspidid scales are far more substantial than those of most other families, incorporating the exuviae from the first two nymphal instars and sometimes faecal matter and fragments of the host plant.[1] These can be complex and extremely waterproof structures rather resembling a suit of armor. For this reason these insects are commonly referred to as armored scale insects. As it is so robust and firmly attached to the host plant, the scale often persists long after the insect has died.
The only bus I still have from this era. During this period all doors were operable and I even had side mirrors. I stopped doing both of those things, Doors were too difficult and mirrors were too delicate.

It's interesting to try out different scales on the models. If they have kept some of the character after all details are gone, and almost reduced to something abstract, I'm happy with composition. This one loses a lot when reduced, but still better than what I expected.
This end view show both the truck loading dock on the left and the narrower rail loading dock on the left.
I got a DPM factory kit #506 called Gripp’s Luggage Mfg over twenty years ago, but it sat in my parts box with various plastic and metal construction materials that I use for scale buildings. Last year I built the building shell and roof plus the loading dock for trucks, painted them, and then constructed a custom base. This year I painted all those window frames and doors scattered around the six sides and installed clear plastic window glazing. Recently I scratch-built a small loading dock to serve the rail spur and added a sign on the roof.
Like most DPM structure kits, the factory is a two story brick building with details that suggest North American late 19th century to mid-20th century construction. The factory is just big enough to actually be served by a railroad and could be almost any kind of warehouse or manufacturing plant that doesn’t require a lot of obvious external equipment. The factory could produce clothing, shoes, metal products, wood products, drugs, cosmetics, toys, plastic products, electronics, small appliances, canned foods, baked goods, or be a small printing plant.
There are more esoteric possibilities: since the town is in northern New Mexico set in the 1950’s, perhaps the products have something to do with the Atomic Energy Commission’s plant at Los Alamos or whatever happened near Roswell a few years earlier. Both mysterious locations aren’t very far away. Maybe the sign on the roof says it all, but the folks who work here won’t say a word.
Zebrafish scales can give insight into how lymphatic vessels are important for tissue growth and development. This picture of an anesthetized, adult zebrafish was taken using a powerful microscope that uses lasers to illuminate the fish. The image shows fish scales with lymphatic vessels in green and scale structures in blue and magenta.

This is in Matlock Bath with Matlock in the background. Can you spot the 2 climbers on the rock face.

Northern Counties Paladin bodied Dennis Dart from BusByBono. Quite a pleasing model that has the look of the prototype. Constructed from ABS type plastic rather than Diecast or Resin, it's major short comings are in the application of the livery. It appears to be applied using a decal which gives a patchy effect to the colour when viewed close up. The rear is the worse bit as it appears that the printer was running low on ink with obvious printer lines clearly visible.
A good attempt, just let down by poor quality control (Which incidentally my FirstBus issue suffered from).
