When I captured MKT 198 with Union Pacific units departing Parsons Kansas in the summer of 1979, in my wildest dreams I could not imagine it was a prediction of the nightmare to come!

Locomotive History
During the Second World War, the War Department was persuaded by Hunslet that a simplified version of their more modern 50550 design would be the solution to its needs for a 0-6-0 shunting engine. The first was completed by Hunslet at the start of 1943 and assisted by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., W. G. Bagnall, Hudswell Clarke, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns and the Vulcan Foundry three hundred and seventy seven had been built for the War Department by 1947. Production continued for industrial use until 1964 by which time four hundred and eighty five locomotives had been built.
198 was built by the Hunslet Engine Co. in 1953 (Works No. 3798) for the Ministry of Defence but did not enter service until 1956 when it worked at the General Stores Sub-Depot at Steventon. It then moved to Central Ordnance Depot, Bicester in 1958 and finally to HQ Engineer Resources at Long Marston in 1961. Following a long period in store she was restored to working order and given the name Royal Engineer in 1971. A further overhaul followed in 1987/88 and when withdrawn from service in 1991 was the last operational steam locomotive owned by the Army. 198 was part of a collection of railway items acquired by the Royal Corps of Transport Museum Trust for eventual display at a new museum under development at Chatham. As an interim measure it was placed on loan to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway and, following the fitting of Westinghouse air brake equipment, was put to work on passenger services. In May 2008 the National Army Museum transferred the ownership to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.
Early in the morning on one of the longest days of the year, 198 passes by the old caboose on display at an antiques store at Salem. While 198 used to be a somewhat regualr morning train on the Central, unfortunately the changes brought to NS by Precision Stock Manipulation have now moved it back to a midnight departure from Birmingham.

The Sony RX10M3 shows its amazing versatility and usefulness in shots like these. Above and below, at wide angle (24mm full-frame equivalent). At f/5.6, the real aperture is equivalent to f/15, which delivers a DoF not possible with a full frame camera without being severely affected by diffraction.
Below is a wide angle view of the same scene from farther back.
Piece for a graffiti legend - Mark 198 of the MG Boys (a crew from the Bronx which started in 1973). Mark made me a member of this crew of legends this week and I'm humbled and amazed beyond my ability to say... This wall was done with Tiger from Sydney and Puzle, the Aussie graf legend. It was great to meet them and share a wall. They get 10 out of 10 for effort too after going through a bunch of drama just to get to the wall. Great to meet you guys and thanks for coming down. Cheers !
This is an epic fail of grand proportions.
I painted my face for nothing. It took me a good half hour to get it off, and then to see that all of the pictures were crap. I'm posting a lot of crap lately, sorrrrrrrry. I have no inspiration.
But, I was thinking that if you don't live in Canada (or at least Toronto), I want to send you a postcard :D Or a letter, depending on our friendship. I love writing letters. And everyone loves getting mail. So holla at me if you want a one of kind token of my love.
+1 in comments, for Tony :)

I haven't had all of my vintage dresses hanging up together since about 1995. Back then I had around 100 which I thought was a sh*t load. Now, 14 years later, the final count is 198! Hot damn! I think I might have a collecting problem. :)

Three train trip back from Durham to Stoke - a bonus on return was that the car park entrance ticket dispenser at Stoke Station had been knocked over and not repaired, so I got two days' free parking :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!
2012!
Bit of recycling ideas wise, from this time last year, looks like Mr. Egg didn't learn from last year and overdid it again and is now feeling it this morning....
Hope all of you are feeling ok!
Well done to everybody who finished their 365s yesterday! Much respect!
