ever wondered how BR MK1 coach E4325 came to be stranded in the original platform 2 at Huddersfield station?. well, it was craned in on a sunday afternoon. here it is, about to lined up for going back on it's bogies. It was a right job getting it under the canopy, the coach roof banged against it at the last moment and there were a few creaking sounds, but nothing broke. the crane driver couldn't see a thing, a skilled radio operator talked the operation through and it was amazing seeing it done. 25th November 1985.

UP SD40-2 3098 sits in a small yard in West Chicago, IL. There are sometimes SD40-2s sitting in this yard, and others have shot them, but I can care less! A UP snoot nosed SD40-2 in 2010 is defiantly not worth passing up no matter what the circumstance!

To be fair, I had to build EMD's Tier 4 test loco as well. Although this is billed as a Tier 3.5 loco, UP and EMD hope to learn much about Tier 4 possibilities through this unit. UP calls it an SD59MX; a rebuilt and modified SD60MAC. It was just funky enough to draw me back to the Armor Yellow. I didn't have to order a single part for this build, but I did borrow a few pieces from my son (Thanks Bo!). It was a nice challenging distraction from all those ES44ACs and SD70ACes I've been building lately.

 

The real UP 9900.

I've wanted to update my old SD70ACe for a while so now seemed a good opportunity. I tried to keep some of the old design, but mostly better match the newer SP 70. Still 45 studs long, 6 wide and unpowered but with Talltim trucks now. I dropped the nose one plate from the SP because all that yellow made it look too tall. I left the original 'engine' inside as well to keep the access doors more interesting.

Estudo de Pin up, mais uma da série com cores extravagantes... Eu gosto dessa coisa meio fantasiosa, fazer cores que não se combinam combinarem... =]

 

Meu scanner zoou um pouco as cores, mas aí está.

Here is my new white seamless backdrop. kind of limited on space but i can make it work. learned a lot tonight, never shot with a backdrop before. lot more to learn.

for those who are curious, HERE is how I mounted the backdrop.

I did a face-up on my friend's doll. I am not bounding with him, so he is still for sale! Be fast is you want him!

Extra Union Pacific Railroad GTEL (Gas Turbine Electric Locomotive) 30 at Roscoe, Nebraska on May 31, 1962, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Trailing Number 30 are two SD24B's, one SD24, and a caboose, followed by the rest of the train.

Third time caught this week! MSSAL blasts through Roberts with former Southern Pacific AC4400CW #6367 in lead.

An impressive line up of Spitfires at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. All aircraft were capable of flight and ranged from a Mark 1 to a Mark 19

Another emotional picture of Nelson looking up. The colors are a bit strange due to the reflection of the window...

Up Hill, is a HDR single shot which I took this year in July. It was processed as a single HDR in Photoshop CS5...

UP 8894 leads a detoured Z train through the Feather River Canyon due to a derailment on the Nevada Sub.

This is Kellie Wulfsohn's 'A little birdie told me' Mini quilt from my book Whip Up Mini Quilts. The applique design is very flexible.

May 1989 finds the UP 8444 just entering the Oregon Trunk Sub on the BN. This was a great chase day, we got photos at several locations without being jackasses. (But it was hard not to be....this was my first exposure to big steam on the high iron! Many thanks to the gang at Vancouver from back then for teaching me a little etiquette ahead of time!)

From our hike last weekend. Rye the rock climber.

Sorry for all the selective color, I can't seem to get enough!

Hint: If you look at the large view you can see the first rays of sunlight hitting two of the pillars.

OK, so I've been looking for Boris & Natasha. I've been through two closets and no luck. Tonight I tackled the piano bench. What do I find? A pin up calendar. What?? Where did THAT come from? If my friend, Dorothy, did not give it to me, I have no idea. But, it's really pretty. Very 60's retro!
