beats me where this one was taken, but it's GE power in the winter of 1986/87 in the Kansas City area
Colorful real-life version of the house in the Disney Pixar movie "UP" that was built in Herriman, Utah.
Are good friend Allie was in town from Scotland which sounded like a good reason to pretty ourselves up and hit the town for a girlie night out.

A pair of High River MP15's crawl up grade over a stone arch underpass under the cover of darkness.
The pair are custom painted Atlas HO MP15DC's, the 'flashbulbs' are an iPhone flashlight.
Okay the thing is with my #2 Gil is that his joints were unusually stiff and really emphasised how limited the joints were, especially since I intended for this Gil to wear kimono and kneel a bunch. I expected for a single joint to be limited but the fact is, Gil couldn’t even bend his knees far enough to kneel let alone make it look natural enough.
So I took a knife to the behind of his legs and carved out crescent moon shapes so more of his knee joint was exposed and his leg could bend enough for him to kneel naturally. Unfortunately, his legs are hollow plastic so if you carve out as much as I did, it WILL leave really unsightly holes. But since it’s behind his leg I don’t mind, plus he’s most likely to be wearing yukata to expose the knees.
This actually solved his knee joints being stiff so I carved out some plastic behind his ankle to be able to be en pointe and it’s easier to pose him.
I also took out some plastic from his elbows so he could touch his face better but I didn’t far enough as I wanted because his arms are also hollow plastic and I could see the plastic be really thin, which is sad since normal MH boy arms are hard vinyl.
However, I’m happy my Gil #2 can pose better now. My poor #1 Gil can’t keep up with him.

2 sock.
Note:
I used to knit a lot. Then I stopped for 3 years. Life got in the way. This is my first pair of socks. The last first pair is officially a UFO. Wish me luck!
Staring straight up the trunk of a Birch tree as the clouds float by.
We aren't known for our cloudscapes, being mostly sunny and dry or foggy and cold, but today was a really pretty day.

A trio of GE's haul 75 loads of coke out of Roberts on a dreary evening. Of note, C41-8W #9450 is second out in the consist. UP 9450, along with many other Dash 8's on the UP roster, was sold back to GE recently. It's safe to say that this could have been her last trip as a UP unit.

On May 10, 1869 a special ceremony took place in Promontory, Utah, USA where two railroads met that completed a track that went from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific ocean on the west. A span of approximately 3000 miles. This engine is an exact full size and fully functioning duplicate of one of the engines that met on that occasion. Today it was again going to the same location, approximately 200 yards from where this photo was taken as it passed by.
