1. Revisiting the first roundabout I saw in ATS, long ago. 2. Triple trailers are fun… 3. …but update, so never arrive. I wonder if the hidden road I wanted to revisit in NM has disappeared? 4. Apparently my cruise control radar setting disappeared! #AmericanTruckSimulator

Photos from an aviation museum in Västerås, Sweden.

Swedish diesel hydraulic locomotive class Tc photographed years ago in Långsele. 20 built in 1969-71, I think three still operational. 33.4 – 36 (with snow plows) tons, 90 km/h, 450 kW Deutz. Built in "turn table". Meant for freight in non-snow season, which usually was ballast trains and similar.

Folks... Tank's done. See below for more. Still have the base and Haus to finish up, but feels good to have this done. A lot of fun in a small package. ✌️ #histscalemodels #buildthestash

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. #bluesky #photography #landscape #birds #nature #art #landscapephotography #naturephotography #sunrise

Lunch.

I photographed one of the rare AFM7 Swedish driving trailers a few years ago, before they were retired. Three built 1988, retired 2022. Two locomotives turned out to be more practical because these require separate driver certification, so they were often used coupled behind locomotive.

Saab SF 37 Viggen outside museum. This is the photo reconnaissance version, the pod is for night photography with cameras in front and electronic IR flashes in rear.

Van Hool ExquiCity 24 CNG Hybrid in Malmö, Sweden, when I was there an autumn some years ago.

Swedish tram built in 1924 photographed at museum tramway in Malmköping, years ago. Used in regular traffic until 1959, for infrastructure maintenance like snow plowing until 1989 when it was backdated to 50s look and then used as veteran vehicle.

some photos from a modular railway meet in Sweden some years ago.

Red Arrows at an airshow in Denmark.

Left: View of the Solovetskii Monastery from the Land, Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, 1915 (original colour). Right: Same, by me. If I'd known about his photo I'd chosen the same spot to stand.

A motorized draisine of a type which built Kalmar Verkstad built 195 of in 1959–1967. Volvo car engine, empty weight 1500 kg, load 1000 kg. Photographed when I visited the railway museum in Ängelholm, Sweden, a couple years ago.

Platform truck for servicing passenger trains in Göteborg, Sweden.

Sweden's probably best known, viewed and influential regarding landscape building model railway, built 1948–55 by Uno Milton Karl-Gustav Lundkvist for the state railway jubilee in 1956, which is its time period. Scale 1:87, nearly 100% scratch built (motors and light bulbs aren't), 12V DC power… 1/3

Some train photos from Karlstad, Sweden, when I was there an autumn years ago.

"THE SUNDANCE CENTRAL RAILROAD - The Sundance was formed in January 2004 with the goal to create a more detailed and uniformly scened, large-scale traveling layout." 3 min video: youtu.be/Dy2hLkNV3fI?...

Swedish freight train. I think all cargo is paper industry related, but I don't know why there are two freight cars built to normal European loading gauge and the rest larger. youtu.be/X5UQojc8h44?...

One summer I went to Uppsala in order to ride narrow gauge trains on Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. After returning from Almunge to Marielund the diesel powered train waited for the steam powered to arrive from Uppsala 9/10

One summer I went to Uppsala in order to ride narrow gauge trains on Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. I got off the DMU train in Almunge and watched when it continued towards Faringe. 7/10

One summer I went to Uppsala in order to ride narrow gauge trains on Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. Before the steam train could return to Uppsala the DMU train I was planning on continuing with had to arrive. While waiting I took a look at some MoW equipment. Steam train… 5/_

One summer I went to Uppsala in order to ride narrow gauge trains on Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. Departing from Uppsala Ö I get off in Marielund where the steam locomotive will run around and return in the direction it arrived from. I don't take the next, diesel powered, train… 3/_

One summer I went to Uppsala in order to ride narrow gauge trains on Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. I arrived early and saw the steam train arriving and run around. Photos 2+3 shows the closest railway stations in Sweden, Uppsala C and Uppsala Ö, which used to be 150 m apart. 1/2

Diesel hydraulic locomotive built by ASJ in 1954, as one of two for Stockholm-Roslagens Järnvägar. Photographed at Marielund on preserved Swedish railway Upsala–Lenna Jernväg. 891 mm gauge, 22 tons, max 55 km/h, 150kW Scania-Vabis D815 and pneumatically controlled gear box. >>

Two Bombardier Reginas, arriving and perhaps departing, but I think parked, in Hallsberg, Sweden.

Photos from a railway trip to southern Sweden and Denmark. 1. Not my train, but (almost, because mine was allowed to go to Copenhage (which I didn't)) the same type. 2. First train change, but not to that one. 3. My train goes on without me. 4. I'm not going with that either… 1/2

Narrow gauge steam locomotive I photographed a rainy day in Germany some years ago.

Swedish narrow gauge Mallet steam locomotive built in 1910 with passenger train in Jädraås – Tallås Järnväg. In regular service on the railway where this was a part until 1959, then backup for the new diesel locomotives five years. Restored and back in service 1996.

Started on #Lego maple bonsai tree. It's pot is more complicated than I'd done it, but that means it not just looks better, also pieces are locked in effectively making it stronger and less likely to fall apart.
