Double Slip

Without these, rail transportation would be pretty slow....

I think I'm going to have to bring home a locomotive if I'm going to continue to shoot switches!
This is a hand-made #6 double-slip, Code 83 HO-scale switch.

Taken for this week's Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge: Transportation..

.. I used an alternate shot for the daily entry for the January monochrome monthly challenge:

FujiFilm FinePix S5 Pro ,Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro
1/1500s f/3.5 at 105.0mm iso640
Adjusted white balance and contrast
It's a bit dark, but the best available lighting was used :-0 hide exif

Thanks for the explanation, I had no idea what I was looking at.

Great - but it plays havoc with the eyes if you scroll too fast!!
