Rob these look great! 

It's 2258 Hours, and B&O 4321 rests, awaiting her next assignment. It's sure to be a busy day!

Another shot in the dark this morning. I got this from my Dad yesterday. He said he bought it at a auction years ago. I took it apart, did some cleaning and lubrication. It runs now, but, I'm thinking it needs a new set of brushes. It smokes great, was leaving a cloud in it's wake with every pass it made! It's still smoking in the photo! 

0028 hours and the local is ready to depart Litchfield.

some decorative interior lighting going on.....

Lionel F7 glowing through the paint!

These are of my old layout. Tripod, long exposure, and natural light from the buildings. Some exposures are over 60 seconds. Painted some light with a moving flashlight. Don

When I first saw this thread, this was the first thing that came to mind. The movie's a bit dated after over 50 years, but still good for a chuckle.

Anything that Peter Sellers was in is priceless. 

Climbing the hill.

Several years ago, we were watching this movie at around 3:00am on either Turner Classic Movies or AMC and they popped up some trivia at a commercial break -- "Inspector Clouseau was based on a French Play 'Le Idiot' ". Needless to say, the wife and I laughed hysterically for almost the entire commercial break.
