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.

Outstanding photos!
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

Great pictures
Almost 2 years since I added to this thread. It is long overdue and the Big Blue is slow  [attachment=42053][attachment=42054][attachment=42055][attachment=42056][attachment=42057][attachment=42058][attachment=42059][attachment=42060][attachment=42061][attachment=42062]
