I think the Lion on the fence photo is actualy on your model railroad and the apartment building and tree are a photo diarama scenery effort on your part.
Camoflaged in those orange rocks, I might have guessed.
Come on man, that ain't fair! Then again, the jungle ain't fair either...
Firelock76 OK, Lion's on the fence, just to the left of the third lamp from the right. Lady Firestorm found him this time. Now she DEMANDS to know just WHERE L'il Lion is in the subway car shot! Eithet that, or she's sending Ginger our attack basset after you! Lion says "Roar," Ginger says "Ah-rooo!"

Here there be cats. LIONS with CAMERAS
THAT is NOT a LION. The LION is NOT on the tracks. Him is ALWAYS in a safe place.
Poor Lion got run over by a train. Got hit in the head by the track trip device. Between third rail and top rail bottom track between the 3rd & 4th lamp.

'ROAR
Well, Lady Firestorm says if that's not him in the car then he's dead under the train!
She had to put her glasses on, she's not happy.
On the other hand, the Lion under the train might make a great "Daily News" or "New York Post" cover. They just LOVE that stuff!
Firelock76On the HO layout, I think I see a little orange furball in the window just to the left of the route placard.
Nope that not him.
Electroliner 1935 So how did the lion get up there?

As I've said before, "The Lion has powers..."

The sign is 18 stories tall. The LION is on part of the letter "F". The lettering has ledges, probably strong enough to stand on.
That building was once upon a time a theater, there used to be a street in front of it. Allof the land and the buildings were joined together by the KenTile Company, which in turn was destroyed by the Asbestos Cricis. Law sutes and all.
The sign was only removed this past year.
As for the 1:87 scale picture, the LION is *not* on the sign, but is elsewhere, and has not been found yet.
BroadwayLionIs not photoshopped. I ma standing on the Smith 9th Street Platform which is at eye level with that sign.
Nice job but Mr. Lion does look to be on the sign and not "hanging by a thread" nor "GREEN SCREENED". So how does Mr. Lion appear to be fifty feet in the air?

Is that photoshoped or did you climb up there?
Vanna, show me a 'F'
Somewhere in Brooklyn?
I would guess that the signal light facing the water is on the north side of Jamaica Bay on the A line branch serving the Rockaways, on the route formerly used by the LIRR. Looking southeast.
Oh, I know it's a jet engine, and a snow-blower on steroids, i'm just having a little fun here.
I wonder, what would happen if they kept the exhaust nozzle in the horizontal, pointed that rig down the tracks, and let 'er rip? Might be a helluva ride! Maybe not like when the NYC put those jet engines on that RDC, but close!
I believe that the CTA has one or two of those for its ground-level yards.
That is not a rocket engine, it is a Jet Engine, from a 747, I have been told. Not the big engine, that little one in the thail that provides hotel power to the aircraft.
The Blower (this one is JB5 --- so there are four others out there) is pointed down at the tracks at the FRONT of the machine and is used to blow snow (and ballast) off of the ROW. Really bangs up equipment if used in the lay-up yard.
There are newer ones that are conventional blowers, does not disturb the ballast as much, but does break the windows of neighboring houises and has been known to dump heaps of snow on people while they sleep.
What the heck, there is a price to be paid for keeping the railroad running. At least the railroad CAN claim to have been there first.
The Lion's got excellent taste in hot rods. Wonder how fast that thing goes with that rocket engine on it?
On the box just upper left of the lower 'JB5'. That was hard!
Yes, Jamaica Bay... I remember the first time I went across there, the bay seemed so HUGE, and in those days there was a doubble fare to that part of the railroad. You paid an extra token to get out or two tokens to get in.

Was the last picture along Jamaca Bay?
Electroliner 1935 At the bend of the fence pole in the middle of the picture. Looks like a Washington Metro cable problem on the outside of the rail to the right of the signal base

Probably not, it's not arcin' and sparkin'.

Now what's he doing up there in one of the platform lights? The only thing he's going to catch up there are bugs when the sun goes down and the lights come on!
Of course, he'll have plenty to choose from, especially if he's got a taste for moths. Remember "Dairy Queens" in the old days, in the middle of a summer night?
