I bought Bob Ross today at a Cracker Barrel gift shop in East Greenbush, NY.
Arnold, that's hilarious. I live near one, I'll have to check out their shop to see if they have any. I often wonder, who makes the decision to manufacture these things?

In the first photo Arnold, that guy is gonna need a bigger dock.😄
As usual, well done Arnold.

Queen Elizabeth! Now that adds class!
I've got a great idea for the manufacturers of O Scale little people: to make an O Scale Aaron Judge (NY Yankee star and likely American League MVP) and Brian Daboll (NY Giant football head coach.
An O scale Aaron Judge will be a sure winner in the NY area and perhaps throughout the country because he is becoming an iconic beloved ball player nation-wide.
Brian Daboll is emerging, not yet that well known, but I just heard an interview of him on the NFL Today pre-game show. IMO, he has great charisma and has the potential, especially if the Giants keep winning, of becoming as famous as any football head coach. I think he is in the process of performing a miracle: turning the Giants into a championship team, if not this year, then within the next few years.
Go Big Blue!
Go Yanks!
So, what sports star, sports team, or other famous person, team or group, past or present, would you like to get in O Scale?
Let's have some fun with this and, hopefully, get our favorite little people in O scale on our layouts.
LOL, Arnold
It just dawned on me that I can think of a lot of famous people I would like to get in O Scale on my layout, but I'll give you folks a chance to chime in first. Arnold
This one is for Mark Boyce: how would you like to have Bill Mazeroski in O Scale on your layout?
LOL, Arnold
I would like a little people model of Arnold D Cribari,
anyone agree? LOL.
I want one of Mini-Me

Thanks for another entertaining post, Arnold!

You are very welcome, Don. Are you going to York? If so, let's meet there; if not, we will meet there another time.
Thanks Arnold - I'd love to meet you at York, but I live in California and that's a stretch for me. Hopefully some other time.
The conductor here is waiting for Southern Pacific Extra 6148 East to pass so that he can board his GG-1 powered train for a +100 MPH trip to York PA. That's an MPC GG-1 and a LionMaster F-7, the shed is from Berkshire Models.

With the Queens own wave too!! Nice.
I have the Woodland Scenic basketball set - hoop and a few kids in a pick up game. How about one with a young Lew Alcindor or the playground legend, Connie Hawkins? Johnny Unitas tossing a football to a kid in the park. Bobby Orr and Gordie How playing pond hockey. And, in an arrest scene, Juan Marichal clubbing Johnny Roseboro over the head with his bat.
Here I am on Warrenville:

Nice scenes as always, Mark. Sterling Brewers in Evansville IN actually had "beer taps" on their finished beer storage tanks for employees. They had to discontinue their "generosity" after they had a few accidents that got them in trouble with OSHA. I lived about 20 miles west of Evansville in Mount Vernon for a couple of years at my first job out of grad school. Unfortunately, Sterling closed in 1997 and the buildings were torn down

Patrick, you got a full shot of that J-class? I like Harvey's sedan delivery, too. I had a '47 Chevy sedan delivery for awhile, but got into a financial disaster with it at a "crooked" restorer in St. Louis.

I said put it over there and hurry up.
Watch your step.

Great photos and well placed on your layouts. We know they are little people, but they can be arranged to show very realistic scenes.
