It's time for my favorite subject, railroading!  This is a Large Scale locomotive I was able to see in Minnesota.  We went up a day earlier than we usually do to be able to travel to this private railroad.  It is a 12 inch scale railroad and you can get a sense of scale from the man in the back bending down to work in the cab.  It is a Challenger style locomotive in small scale like one that the Union Pacific still operates.  It was beautifully detailed and I even was allowed to operate it!  Very cool!  This has a couple of effects done to it, the color is muted and a small glow was put on it as well.
