That was made by Mehano. It's a 2-10-2 T2-a and can run on 18" radius curves all day long. Note the blind center drivers and the jointed drive rods.

Jay - I'm sure I saw that scene in a Japanese movie, but I forget the name of it.

Jay, I like your whimsical shot! Jeff, love the steamer...it looks very imposing.
Frank, the diesels look nicely weathered, notably the sooty louvers on the yellow and red one.
I have not been contributing to this thread for a while. Recently I build a diorama that I wanted to use outdoors. I found a spot across the road from a nearby potato farm with the Comox Glacier in the distance. This is my first attempt at super-realism, but not using a programme such as Photo Shop to import details, alter the image, delete or paint over things...what you see here is all real, either model or nature/man-made in 1:1 scale. All I did was to stack four images with different focal depths to ensure the engine wasn't blurred, and I cropped out the border of the image because Combine ZP leave a bunch of weird stuff at the edges of the photos it stacks.
This is what the CMOS chip in my camera recorded when the shutter opened:

Thanks, Crandell, looks like you're the only one that likes my attempt at a humorous photo.
I really like the way you incorporated your new diorama, with a real background, an outstanding bit of magic.
Those are great looking scenes and photos, Frank, well done. DJ.

Jay: I did get a laugh out of your post. I've been busy with other matters of late as my lack of new photos indicates. I;ve been posting old ones I took years ago.

Grampy, I thought your photo was hilarious. Well done.
Excellent photos, all. Hopefully, I'll get my act together today, or tomorrow, and post my newest addition to the roster.

Good looking engine Jeff. To bad it does not run worth a flip.
