a picture a day....

Four Thursday.

Another rarity, Brain! I never even knew such an action happened.

Took this at the car shops in De Soto this late summer

Sixpack for Saturday.

BRIANSILERMUSTANG, I enjoy your taste for unusual and rare photos, of angles and shots we might or likely have never seen on our own. I mean, how many times have I seen photos of that name-train, from the front, locomotive view, or from alongside, but from the rear-end = nope, Thanks again for such unique views.

TRUMPTRAIN, I think I can actually hear all the sounds of conversations, vehicles moving and honking, trains and trolleys passing thru, and kids playing along the street in that village of yours. Very, very nice modeling and photo.

Why thank you so much Frank!   I so very much appreciate every word, especially since your work and photos greatly inspires my own.   Again, thank you!

   UP's early experimental steamturbine-electric locomotives built by Baldwin

 

 

If you build it, they will come. At least, I will.

Heck, they could start with scale GG1 running gear on an extended frame. Pretty darn close.

In their non-UP paint; UP never owned these - always belonged to GE. GE tested them on the NYC a bit; lent them to the GN during WWII.

And I thought that railroads tried to avoid "S" curves.

Twofir Tuesday.  " MOW crew ... Working hard "

Wonderful, P51. The personal touch of skill and imagination...…..and remembering.

GREAT one, Patrick!

That's a Christmas card shot for sure!

Found this in a drawer last night, no idea where it came from, or who gave it to me.

A GP18 per chance?

Always have liked silver painted trucks.

For today. " New dozer"

Brian, That entire scene would make a wonderful layout panorama, foreground to background, left to right, every bit of it!

I wonder how long it took the operator to realize the steering wheel doesn't work.  :-)
