The former 56th Fighter Wing flagship recently got a heritage livery and now wears it's 56th FW titles once again. The F-16 is stil an important part of Luke Air Force Base even though it is being phased out by the F-35.
Circa 2006. The ancient Makuta of Shakaz, who attempted to conquer the isle of Terra Nui.
Yes, it's an ancient throwback MOC! With my Majhost and old posts on BZPower gone, all of my older creations went with them (other than the small few put up as starting uploads here). But, I have many of these older MOCs still assembled, and with a better camera and lightbox, throwback photos can ensue! With much better presentation than these old things ever had back in their day. Although perhaps a trawled-through old photo or two may sneak in there too.
Hopefully something dated like this will still be of some interest. We'll see!
Final fun fact: this particular MOC was also displayed at BrickFair VA 2012!
CSX SD40-2 #8044 is on the point of O72215 as the 83 car empty rock train crosses the old Miami Canal drawbridge on the former SAL Miami Subdivision. Now the SFRTA, and it enters the Homestead Sub/Oleander Branch. The drawbridge stopped operating years ago, probably before I was born.

This week we are going back thirty-nine years to another demonstrator bus in Dublin. SC 1 / 405 UZO is seen crossing O'Connell Bridge on its way to Tallaght. This bus had a Marshall body bus on a Scania chassis and spent a number of months on test with CIE around 1982. By this time CIE had received around 100 of the KD Bombardier double deckers, which would eventually end with KD 366. The demonstrator is also painted in a similar two-tone green livery that the KDs were delivered in. Following its time with CIE, this Scania demonstrator joined the fleet of AA Motor Services in Scotland. It was withdrawn in the mid-1990s.
The bus is displaying route 2 but more likely it was on route 65A. The bus regularly worked a service on route 2 into Dublin city centre from Sandymount and then did the 09:00 departure on the 65A to Embankment in Tallaght. The 65A was removed from the network in 1994.
On a final note, the truck beside the bus is also a CIE vehicle, this one from the freight division.

One of my favorite photos from six years ago. Was in a hotel room and my date took this photo before we left for the event we were attending.
This week we are going back twenty-one years to 2004 and to RA 320 parked on Hawkins Street, dressed for route 38.
Route 38 has a bit of a complicated history. From 1939 to 1973 it ran between the City Centre and Ashtown, and from 1958 to 1972 it also ran between the City Centre and Kinvara Park. Services continued to run between the City Centre and Ashtown until 1977, but these were part of the 38A and 39 timetable. In the 1990s the 38 returned, this time between the City Centre and Lady's Well. From around 1994 to around 1998 it ran to Tyrrelstown before reverting back to Lady's Well. In 2002 it was extended to Damastown and the western terminus has remained there since. Also from 2002 until 2010 the city centre terminus was on Hawkins Street, as seen here. It then moved to the Burlington Road area. The route was never part of the CitySwift network.
RA 320 was new to Dublin Bus in 1996. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

Sticking with shots of power straight out of the 90's, here is K657 north of Leipsic with BNSF 685 and 604 in full ATSF paint with almost nothing indicating BNSF ownership anywhere on either of them. Hard to believe this shot is almost two years old now. This shot was all I had time to get but warbonnets kick ass so its worth it.

A look back to what was one of the biggest shoots in my life.Shame that back then I didn't really know how to use my gear,and that I was missing CPL filters.Then again,given the fact that I had my DSLR for two weeks then,it didn't end up that bad.
Thanks for watching.Comments,suggestions and faves are appreciated.

A throwback to 2014 when color was everywhere on the Eastern railroads, especially Norfolk Southern. Train 197 is seen racing south at Sale Creek, TN on the CNO&TP. Consist included the CN C40-8W, CN ES44DC, NS SD40-2, ex-HLCX SD40-2, and GP50 #7073.
These pics are from 2017. I felt I have to post something, because it has been almost three weeks since my last posting.
But hopefully I have time for some dressup fun next week. I can feel an urgent need to spent some time as Rikky again.
By the way, thanks to all my lovely friends and followers. Your comments help me to make it through these periods. 😘 😘 😘
Where have you been?” asked DeGrazia when he met New York sculptor Marion Sheret as she visited the first DeGrazia studio at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue. They married in the jungles of Mexico in 1947, lived at the studio, then bought the 10-acre foothills site near Tucson that became DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun. Marion was instrumental in DeGrazia’s success, according to longtime DeGrazia friend Dick Frontain, “I don’t think he would have done it without her. In fact, I’m sure he wouldn’t. She was the drive he needed.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
Another of my favorite Polaroids by my dad that I found after he died a couple of weeks ago. This is my sister Alyssa's birthday shot. Not sure of the camera or film used.
Yesterday's post shows this rail fan extra with Erie Lackawanna E8's 816 and 823 crossing RT17K in Montgomery, NY. Today we are a couple of hundred yards to the south at Clinton St. where the station was. It appears the extra has paused for a bit. Maybe for a fan photo line. It also appears a few chasers were on hand.
I could be wrong, but in front of the station, it appears to have some sort of tilt order board signal.
I myself had several of my early chases as a passenger in a 1963 2 door Plymouth Fury like the one in the photo. It had 318 "big block" and push a button transmission. It was fast and rode as smooth as glass.

A shot of me from about ten years ago. Shot by my son on a 5D2 and EF 851.2L. Focal point was my right eye.
Continuing on with "Throwback Thursday" to highlight some of my old LEGO photos that I've never posted on social media. This one is a real oldie from 2015. It was an image I took for a Classic Space project that never became a reality. I always liked the idea of these explorers roughing it on a harsh, unforgiving alien planet. Remember when I used to use yellow faces for my NCS figures?
