This must be in Patsburg suburbs.   This was my first attempt, ever, at creating and capturing a night scene on one of my Christmas layouts.  I believe Bing Ferguson's house is the big one on the right - looks like a window cleaner is hard at work.

Walt, great start on your "night" photography...the lantern posts really pop the scene!

A few passengers waiting to safely cross the tracks to get over to the station to catch the "local" to Patsburg...

Obviously they all came from the suburb Of Patsburg called Waltburg 😂

DST begins as does Lent.  Me thinks you'll be heading to the Friday Fish Frys soon.  Could a walk up the street to the hobby shop be far behind?  You should post a picture of the locos that have followed you home from the Fish Fry.

OK Joe..........here we go

Dallas, are you saying you bought all those beauties from Charlie up in Weedville?  They look super as does the part of the layout where you took the photographs!  I haven't been up there for many years.

Yep.....I'm glad Charlie and Judy get along really well.

I can't remember how many fish fries they were collected over.    I think Charlie allowed me to purchases a few diesels and accesories also.

Thanks Mark . I am going to have to get back into some layout work instead of just collecting things............you know how that works sir.

FOR TODAY:  Don and Juan have a business meeting down by the tracks.  They arrive at 11:25 for their 11:30 meeting.  

They wait patiently for 30 minutes.   Don mutters " Where in da heck is Izzy?  You told him 11:30 right Juan?"  Jaun answers nervously  while  simultaneously shaking his head in the affirmative  with a quizzical look on his face. " Well uh yeah uh uh Don I either did or I didn't."  Don's face turns three shades of red  ... " I know either you did or you didn't Juan!  I asked you if you did!" Juan answers with nose and eyes scrunched up .." I may have told him P.M.? ).  " Well it's now noon and me thinks you did tell him PM cause he ain't here!  Do you see him here?  Because I don't see him here!!"  Don yells  as he throws both hands in the air while spinning around on his heels.  Juan looking rather consiliatory rests his hands on Don's right shoulder " Come on Donnie, let me buy you lunch.   We can head over to the Lunch Bunch Diner and lunch is on me."  Don, in a much more agreeable tone nods " Well, alright Juan but before you stick a utensil in that mug of yours, you're going to put a dime in that pay phone and confirm the meeting with Izzy. Right?"  "Absolutely Don" Izzy replies while fumbling for the car keys which are in his pocket.  " And one more thing Juan.  I want two scoops of ice cream for desert"  Don says with a wink and a smile.  

Off to lunch they go.

WOW .....what a great scene and crazy story Patrick .

This is so cool sir. Thanks for this sharing.

Patrick, what kind of car are Don and Juan driving??

Patrick that was more than a picture a day! The photos were great; and it was a very entertaining vignette! Well done!

Bozeman. MT at dusk in August, 2019...

From an earlier Christmas Layout.  It's one of my all-time favorite (and lucky) pictures that I've taken.  Indicated by the double vertical bars at the top, one can tell this is a screen grab.

What a line-up!  Your not the only one missing those fish fries, I'm pretty certain Charlie is wishing you would come by for some more dessert.
