I like that Ben Hur rail bus!


Anyone want to take a shot at modeling this?

Yep, right after I have tackled this one in 0-scale:


This is the mining complex that kept my Westinghouse engines busy in their heyday. The location is Løkken, in the middle of Norway.

I have a Western Scale Models.... O scale kit 10 stamp Gold mill that I would sell  It would be a start for someone.

A page or so from my 1921 F. B. Mallroy Company logging equipment catalog. I believe these were taken up around Tillamook.

Here's an interesting photo of an old fashioned hardware store:

Looks like a model.

That is at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley , West Midland in Good Old Blighty . I haven't been there , but it looks as if it might be quite interesting .

Is there a chance that the original photo was black-and-white? Maybe it looks a little like a model because somebody carefully colorized the original image. Kind of stirs the digital detective in me. -- Russ

  No . You can see by the clouds and wet pavement ( not a " sidewalk" ) that it has just rained and the sky can make photos look funny .

  Why would anyone want to colourise a black and white photo ? These buildings would appear to have been in their present locations for less that 40 years so they could have taken a colour photo to start with .

That first "hardware store" picture reminds me of a jigsaw puzzle print.
Something about the sheen and colors .

I found it at this site:  http://www.fineartamerica.com

It's not colorized but it's definitely been "enhanced" in some way to make it artsy.
