I have never seen that angle before, the common one is from the starboard side a little aft of amidships. I wonder how many other views are around of the first landing, not to mention Ely's first take-off.

Interesting assortment of instruments and an interesting group.
I would like to have heard them.

Yes. Don't know it that was all staging for the photo or a real thing with that family. Odd and so why I kept it in my Carlisle folder of cards.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. :wink: They will never make it with those instruments. No guitars or drums....

I personally like swing music from the big band era. :)

I have music playing all the time in my office (internet radio or Youtube) and in the car. Car has a bit of an eclectic mix, but that happens as CDs are rotated in/out. Today it was the collaboration album from David Cross and David Jackson, Another Day.

Here's their cover of Starless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TXhWL4Eo7o

What is that hanging from the beam to the left of the cab in the P&R photo?

That looks to be a cage protecting a pulley crane hook assembly - very faint trace of a cable or chain there, too.

Baldy's Store looks like it would be a good candidate for a model building on a layout. Is there a way to edit the photo so it would be suitable for printing on cardstock?

I might (emphasis on might) be able to pull the front around and set that to a square on view. Not sure about the side.

But the real issue is that the photo file is pretty small so blowing this up electronically to O scale will probably pixelate terrible. Maybe making a slide, projecting that onto a white screen, and photographing that would work to make a large file that could be further manipulated?
