Nice to see you Sinclair tm, been quiet without you and Werebo.

Been busy living my life. But here's a photo I took with my phone.

That is a real steam locomotive, coal fired. The track is 7.5 inches apart. That black pad on the car behind it is where you sit to operate it. It's maybe 10 inches square. It was built in 1991, and been in storage since 1994. I got it out of storage and joined a local club in January and get it running again. It was my grandfather's.

Nice, my son was into model railway when he was much younger spent a lot of nights as his taxi taking him to a little club and some time at shows where they built a whole set up to show folks their skills, they did some here https://www.sec.co.uk/about-the-sec in the more boring flat building.

I love those scale locomotives, always wanted to build one, but things kept getting in the way.
There used to be a mobile home park near me that the owner had a track, a foot wide or more, that looped all the way around the park and down the road to his house where he had a regular round house with 3 or 4 locomotives in it. You'd see him all the time in the summer, sometimes in the winter but not vary often.
It was out of the way by 5 miles for anywhere I wanted to go, but I always took that way to check it out.

Top is whats left of the old hay shed from back when we had horses. Next is a fence I found behind a hotel I was staying in up in KY. Then there is the old mill pond dam. It was destroyed back in 2015 during the floods. And lastly, the solar eclipse from 2017. All were made with a Nikon D3200, but different lenses.

My family dogs. 😆

I have a couple nice pics of my dogs, but my wife is also in them and I don't think she'd be too happy to be included in a 'family dogs: Buddy, Loopy, Baby, Clyde and Pam ' photo

Only have one dog left.....and not long for this world. Looks like a bowling ball with legs after a tumor went on a growth spurt.

Wow,nice photos. I do enjoy the art of photography. I'm just an amateur photographer, who clicks photos on her cell phone. I don't own a professional camera. I do enjoy capturing certain special moments, like dew drops on a leaf, happy moments spent with friends and a plate of beautifully served dessert.

Could anyone tell me why I just received an email saying this thread was updated?

 

[SpywareDr]

Looks like the now banned krazykong01 had posted advertising which was deleted by oscer1 about 6 hours ago?

 

[kendallt]

Oh! that would explain it, I was hoping to see some new photographs. I like this thread, and look forward to new pics all the time. so got a bit excited when I saw it was updated.

Hey, I was just looking at your photos and I was wondering how you took the photo of the fifth image? It looks amazing! What camera and settings did you use?

Wow it was very hard for me to pick just 5!

Unfortunately the wonderful lady that took those pictures, PhotoLady (Martha), has passed away. (RIP)
