20 NEW photos of the BIG Show—Friends and Trains.
On Day 2 of last weekend’s BIG Railroad Hobby Show in West Springfield, I spent more time making photos of the people than of the trains.
When I wasn’t meeting friends, fans and guests at the Conway Scenic Railroad booth, I took my Lumix LX7 and wandered the halls snapping away.
Here’s just a few views!
And yes, I’ve included a few photos of the models too.

Judicial Activism — Need of the hour
Indian judiciary has taken up a much-needed active role in the policies of the nation. Rather than being silent spectators to the policies or passive onlookers to lack thereof, Indian judiciary has rightly protected the citizens by judicial activism. Indian courts are not finding opportunities for judicial activism, adventurism or overreach but are compelled to do so because of legislative and executive inaction that deprive citizens of the basic freedom i.e. right to life, right to breathe clean air, right to proper livelihood, right to sleep, etc. guaranteed by Article 21. One of the most prominent developments from judicial activism has been in environmental jurisprudence. The lack of proper policies, incompetency to implement laws and absence of capable authorities has compelled courts to overstep their power, rightfully so in many environment cases, where the Government and public authorities have failed to take appropriate steps and ensure the safety and peace of mind of citizens guaranteed by the Constitution.
A country riddled with power, poverty and pelf, with the legislature and executive in the nucleus of it, it is imperative for judiciary, an authoritative independent unbiased body, to guarantee human rights to citizens. Kesavananda Bharati[1], Maneka Gandhi[2] and S.P. Gupta[3] has opened floodgates for judicial activism. In Kesavananda Bharati[4] CJI Sikri authored the basic feature doctrine that till date remains the bedrock of the Indian Constitution. Maneka Gandhi[5] vested power with the Court to adjudge if a particular action, matter, policy or even law was just, fair and moral. The Indian court is vested with the power of judicial review under Articles 32 and 226 with the aid of writs and public interest litigation (PIL), the Supreme Court and the High Court have been able to deal with series of public grievances and flagrant basic human right violations by the State.
In Municipal Council, Ratlam v. Vardichan[6], Court held that it was compelled to overstep its power because of the “callous public bodies habituated to deleterious inaction[7]”. Inaction by municipal authorities to eliminate stink and stench of open drains, forced the Court, while upholding Article 21— right to life, to order municipal authorities to take immediate actions to provide basic amenities to residents and construct sufficient drains and provide water supply. In Goa Foundation v. Konkan Railway Corpn.[8], the Court while noting that although the Government was not powerless to act but just chose not to, ordered the lethargic Government to take action against pollution caused by mines. In M.C. Mehta v. State of Orissa[9], the Court while upholding Article 21 — right to life, established a law of “polluter pays” and “absolute liability”, when State functionaries failed to take appropriate measures and eradicate problems of proper dumping of waste materials. In 2005, because of the absence of appropriate action taken by the Government, the Court ordered a complete ban on sound emitting firecrackers from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. in the light of Article 21— right to life[10]. Seeing the soaring air pollution rate during Diwali in the previous year, in 2017, the Court, upholding Article 21 — right to breathe clean air and noting “the response of the Government [being] lethargic with the absence of any keenness to take proactive steps[11]”, ordered ban on the sale of firecrackers because of Government’s incompetence to issue necessary directions. In each of such judgments, the judiciary has rightfully overstepped its powers only because of the legislature’s and executive’s inaction to ensure the basic right to life to its citizens.
Surely, even after the much-needed orders passed by the courts in such gross violations of human rights, the judiciary’s competence to act outside its scope remains a point of contention as it defeats the doctrine of separation of powers. At the same time, courts are supposed to and entitled to exceed its scope of its mandate to protect interests of the public to fill the voids left by the legislature and the executive[12]. The judiciary inherently is the sentinel qui vive — watchdogs on the lookout[13]. Courts have rightly viewed human rights and environmental protection on the same footing and while acting as the guardian of fundamental rights has protected the right of each individual in regard to environment under Article 21. It is contended that judiciary is not a competent body in such cases as it is not a representative body. Justice A.K. Goel, while striking down National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC), held that “even if the judiciary is not an elected body today, it discharges constitutional functions as per the will of the people reflected in the Constitution and the task determining the powers of various Constitutional organs is entrusted to the judiciary”[14]. It is well established that the judiciary is the watchdog of the nation and it ought to/should overstep its boundaries to maintain safety, peace and order. The courts are rightly entitled to participate actively in the welfare and betterment of the society and impose rules and regulations be it in cases of environmental degradation[15], custodial violence[16], education reforms[17], corruption in private organisations[18], illegal slaughter[19], sexual harassment[20], etc. to ensure right to life to citizens guaranteed by Article 21 that is infringed or overlooked by the incompetence and inaction of responsible authorities.

WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Fifty years ago the Amherst Railway Society first took its model trains to the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield Saturday.
The Big E’s better living center was more than a mere whistle stop for the Amherst railway extravaganza. These model trains have fascinated generations of model railroad enthusiasts.
The love for model railroading is passed down from generation to generation. Visitors came from as far away as Niagara Falls, New York to share in the experience. Joe Swoope told 22News, “Biggest show we’ve heard of on the internet, everybody’s bragging how big the show is, one of the best in the nation, it is big”. Dave Swoope, another fellow model railroad enthusiast says, “A big variety of trains to choose from. It’s really nice to see them here, or if you’re concerned about engines or something as well”.
And if you’re hearing about the Amherst Railway hobby show for the first time, you’re still in luck. It’s a two day event on the grounds of the Big E. The model trains start rolling again Sunday morning at 9 and continue on track until 5pm.

January 2020_Amherst Railway Society’s BIG Railroad Hobby Show.
This year instead of merely wandering the annual Amherst Railway Society’s BIG Railroad Hobby Show as a free agent, I spent most of my time there working for Conway Scenic Railroad.
But, I did wander the show making photos as I have in the past.
I also signed a few books, answered lots of questions, spoke with countless friends, and researched details for a number of upcoming articles.

Narrow Gauge Gem at the 2019 Amherst Railway Society BIG Railroad Hobby Show.
In a world of small trains, S.D. Warren & Company’s Baldwin-built 0-4-0T is a giant.
This wonderfully restored narrow gauge steam locomotive was under steam in front of the Better Living Center at the Big E in West Springfield, Massachusetts last weekend.
I made these digital photographs in the afternoon.
