JackieJr, Incredible skills, quite beyond modeling skills and well into the realm of artistic planning and artistic vision and execution. Really super! Every inch!

FrankM

P. S. I've never seen this figure. Is it handcrafted?

3-D printed?

Thank You FrankM            Mighty generous with the compliments! To me a model train layout is an art form to be expressed how ever one's imagination can contrive. Yourself being a great example how skillfully it can be approached.

       The figure is an Arttista piece; #1185 I believe. The diving figure in front where you see legs & feet may confuse the image.      SEE YA!

Here are a few up close photos from in and around Patsburg.

A few close-ups of my MIANNE lift-gate as it nears completion.

One of modern mankind’s great inventions.  😀👍🚂🚂

My unsolicited two cents......

There is a farm south of us where they raise Bison and sell the meat.

https://www.redrunbison.com/

They have about 300 head.  Its an amazing sight when 10 or 20 of them get up a charging head of steam and go for a run.  I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to move just one.

Reminds me of "Frenda Mine" from late '70's RMC articles.

"Discovery of a bygone treasure ... boys day out exploring the extreme back part of the railroad yard."

All kinds of action and interaction...

Such an adventure......

Over the years I have made two discoveries.  Note:  as an adult.  The first was an NYC S class electric on the scrap line at Apex Smelting.  The second was a PRR B3 rat at the N&SS yard.

How either of these locomotives came to Cleveland for disposal is beyond me.
