Excellent Mitch...those Woodland Scenic trackside workers really add interest and realism to the scene!

The power of a CAT diesel! My how technology changes.

Absolutely amazing! This is the way to start celebrating the 150th anniversary the Gold Spike driving at Promontory Summit, Utah on 10 May 2019.

Looks like someone messed up and put N scale people in a HO scale scene. Great image Steve!

LOL, That's what makes this image fun, the optical illusion of the scale of the locomotive relative to the size of the other objects in the frame. The engine is large to begin with, lens compression and the height of the rail on the pavement lend to the shrinking the scale of the crew, and those guys aren't small.
It definitely puts the "Big"back in Big Boy.

That looks like a 980a model wheel loader?! that in itself is an antique worth saving.

I like how it is parked on a curve and one can clearly see the articulation in the frame by the off center state of the boiler. Normally this is hard to see unless the train's movement is on video, because most static displays and photo run-bys are done on strait track.
