Deutsches Feld- und Kleinbahmuseum, Deinste, Germany, when I was there a rainy day years ago.

1. Here I wonder if the snow clearing poles are there year round, since it's always summer in ATS.
And I start to think it's time to back to Texas again.

4. A road I've never driven has a tractor with a trailer I don't think I've seen.

A prototype Tiger II / Königstiger was on loan to a Swedish museum a few years ago, so of course I went to take a look at it. No engine or transmission and made of ordinary steel.
I knew it's large, but still was a bit surprised at how large compared to contemporary tanks.

Reclamation heavy lift aircraft bringing equipment and personnel into the valley of Two-Sky River.

The small cockpit windows are mainly a backup for the augmented reality sensorium helmets worn by pilots; a technology favored by House Kendi.

Another ‘narco submarine’ found in the Solomon Islands, after it sailed all the way across the Pacific(!). This is the 3rd publicly reported example there.

Note that it’s empty and the outboard motors have been removed

Lots of hidden tracks to support prototypical operation. Connecting them to the station part is generic scenery appropriate for this part of Sweden.

Around a non-prototypical 180 degrees turn is the classification yard, which will have 50% the number tracks the real one has. (Or maybe already does, it's time to plan a return trip.)

Photos from a visit to a model railway in Hallsberg, Sweden, a couple years ago.
It's built next to the railway station and part of it is an exact 1:87 scale replication of its tracks and nearby area including the house it's in. (2nd image, red roof.)

A few more photos from when I visited the railway museum in Ängelholm, Sweden, a few years ago.
It's next to the railway infrastructure school, so focus is infrastructure rather than vehicles.

By chance I was there the day of week for guided tours (I think interior is open all days) so I among other things learned that it was welded which was kind of new for submarines then and that they choose musicians as hydrophone operators.

Trains in Wakkanai, northern Japan. Later I would travel to Sapporo in one like the right one (perhaps this one, I don't remember).

Henschel DHG 625 C (Swedish designation V5) in Gävle, pushing a jet fuel car.
I don't think any place would need a single car load, so my guess is that it was the car itself needed to go to, or from, a workshop.
