Hey, folks, I don't get here often, although I have begun to look-in quite a bit more recently. Nice to see a thriving community here, and that the weekly pix posts are still being frequented. It's also nice knowing that there are still many modelers out there building stuff, running stuff, and taking images to show progression and skills. That's a really nice barge set-up.
About June-ish, I dusted off a diorama that has been stacked in every corner of our garage for the past two years and took it out onto a country road on a sunny morning, early with the sun at my back. I took this image which is fanciful, but the loco as shown, with the lettering and the Beaufort Range in the distance, is actually right at home. It's just that the Heisler would have been working in those distant mountains from the 1912 - 1940 timeframe, and not much closer to the Strait of Georgia behind me about 700 yards away. The glacier is known locally as the Comox Glacier, and it's about 35 km distant.
