The Diesel set looks like the set the White Pass & Yukon RR uses/used.
I wondered about this, so looked it up to see that the WP&YR did sell four diesels to D&S RR.

Thanks for the tour. Years ago I lived in Billings, MT and tried to make that drive each spring the weekend after the the Beartooth switchbacks were cleared for the summer driving season. The scenery is truly spectacular and worth a detour to make the drive. My wife and I appreciated seeing the well-remembered scenery and I copied some of the images for future memories. Thanks again, John

I still have mine; super good camera, especially for flower pictures. But not worth enough to sell so I'll keep it along with appropriate lenses.
I did sell the L 100-400 as I now have m4/3 lenses that are lighter to pack around.

For me as I age, most of the Joy of creation lies in the Artistry of photography, and not so much in the Craft. Good gear is fairly important, but good photographic sense is essential. If what is on the rear screen doesn't pass muster, I rethink, delete and then reshoot. I would much rather make my adjustments in the field, rather than in the computer.

On the Olympus/OMDS cameras the internal computer is smart enough to differentiate what to do, and it seems to work perfectly in every instance that I've come across. Were it me, I would trust Canon to have designed their system to make it work. And in a pinch, just try both options and make up your own mind.

I have owned a variety of Olympus cameras for years, including an em5-2 very similar in size to your OM5. I have it permanently paired with an Oly 14-150 II, and find it to be an ideal size, weight and focal lengths for a grab and go, carry camera. It is water resistant and fits easily in my car glovebox. Incidentally, I bought both at Used Photo Pro in Indianapolis, IN, used and at a very good price. Good luck on you photo adventures, from a 85 year old who is still buying and using Olympus. I recently bought the Oly 12-100 and find that it is a great lens but the 14-150 runs a close second in image color, quality and practical usability; pair it with an Oly 9-18 wide angle and you have a great kit.

Thanks for the many responses. And now I'll add, "And keep on shooting throughout a happy New Year."

Merry Christmas from our home in Chisholm, MN to you wherever you might be.

Thanks for the wonderful images Cindy, they take me back a few years to a different and far better life in the beautiful State of Montana.

Marvelous shots!!

I can tell you this much: the engine is a 3-cylinder Class B Shay. I could tell you more, but all my RR books are in boxes somewhere.

Thanks for the great pictures QD. They bring back many memories of driving past that depot when I lived south of the city and worked for the school district. As I view your many recent posts, I get the sense that you live in or near Roundup--am I correct? Antelope hunting north of Lavina was a favorite fall thing. I miss that beautiful state and it's friendly folks.

Very nice, thank you, Jederick.

Time? Here is a phrase I concocted many years ago as a youngster, and it's really all quite simple and logical: TODAY IS YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW.

Jan, I am so impressed by the gorgeous and varied color of the swamp milkweed. Thank you for the photos. We have some native milkweed here in Northern Minnesota, and a diminishing number of Monarchs, but I have never seen this variety of milkweed. We are planting our native variety in our butterfly garden in hopes... John
