Some snazzy-looking power there, Charlie, although the guy standing next to the 564 looks to be in a different (smaller) scale...maybe a leprechaun?

I don't think he is that small, he is below the roadbed while the locomotive drivers are even with a roadway. With 63 inch drivers and 6" rail height I would guess he would be about 5'6" which would make him tall by my standards. Maybe he is in the photo to show how big the locomotive is. I haven't seen many builder photos with men in them.

Yea, you may be right, Charlie...without that bowler hat, I'd guess him to be about 5' tall, at best.

It's been a while so here are a few new old photos.
Class 12 32/58 is really finetuning it.
Here are a few more to enjoy. Charlie
A few more of the Shoddee collection to share.
