The 19-2405 again

Hi all, it has been quite a while since my last post here,so I hope you're all doing well! 

Been doing lots of things, except that which I love the most, which is all things miniature and old, zero-gauge toy trains!

But here I am, finally, sharing a pic from my extensive collection, depicting a very worn out example of my many vintage toy trains.

And isn't she gorgeous?! Even with her missing parts and rusty metal body -or maybe because of it-  she has character, undeniable charisma, and mystery to her!

She has featured here before, the old 19-2405, but I think she deserves a new guest appearance, so here she is! See you next time!

Sun

Sunlight is a very rare commodity these days. So when the opportunity presents itself to catch some of it, one must make sure it doesn't go to waste.

No 30

Dolls house number 30. Behold its staircase in all its desolation. We can see a rusty chain, which once supported a lamp shade, hanging from the ceiling. 

The dirty windows allow the frail daylight in to light the emptiness. A secretive spider calls the house its home.

Avalon

As the weak sunlight fights an unequal battle against the intrusive shadows of December, my disfigured living room transforms into a place removed from reality. The Praying Girl captures the evasive light in the palm of her hands, and incorporates it into her eternal conversation with the Divine. The Girls watch from the distance of yesterday. Nothing moves, and yet, everything breathes.

A day at the park

The bus is ready to go, departing from one of my old Triang dolls houses. The destination is the "Parque de Recreo," or Leisure Park. There are lots of nice things to visit there: a theater, a zoo, and not to forget the fireworks at the Grand Palace!

In sum: a great way to spend the day with the family! Let's go!

Full Metal Jacket

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well!

Here's a sneak peek of one of my old dolls houses. It's an all metal construction -no wood whatsoever- and quite worn and rusty, which gives it the magical, 'spooky' appearance which I love so much! I believe it to be a Triang, but I'm not sure. Ok, that's it for now, got to go. Have a great day!
