It's another collection by me, with many inspirations mixed with my own taste of fashion.
This is an OOAK ensemble, so it's a bit extra special to own, right? <3

And at the last minute, I enter the competition!
My entry for this year's annual OcTRAINber competition, hosted by Brick Model Railroader, is a 4w class Y11 Simplex Diesel locomotive. This is officially my first British diesel locomotive, which I find ironic because...it IS one of the first British diesel locomotives!
These were built in 1919 by Simplex as "Petrol Shunting Engines", which were purchased by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway to replace horse-drawn shunting in small industrial and branch line tracks. Simplex had made it's debut in the first World War by building tons of "Tin Turtle" trench diesel locomotives to work on the trench railways delivering supplies, ammunition, and troops. The tin turtle engine is actually another entry this year being built by another builder.
After the war, Simplex designed a standard gauge locomotive to be used on light shunting duties. This was the result. Being very utilitarian and bare, like all Simplex locos, it didn't have many issues through their working lives, although being relatively new technology at the time, the original petrol engines were not always reliable. Of the batch built for regional railway use, a handful made it into BR days continuing to do their original duties. They were classed Y11 by BR and received a better engine. Many were given cosmetic improvements, such as enclosed wooden cabs and sliding metal doors. Two of the original BR locos are preserved and several identical Industrial examples also exist.
My model will be completed to resemble the most popular preserved example, number 15099 'Morris' at the Chasewater Railway. I will do my best to match the interior, but this model is already proven to be trickier than expected. But, being approximately 12 studs long, it shouldn't take too long. Once this is wrapped up, I have several other fun projects to keep working on, start, and one other to finish. Stay tuned!
Willen Lake MK.
A happy new year to everyone on Flickr, let’s hope it’s a much better one for us all than 2020! Stay safe everyone...
My hopes were low when I headed out for Sunnyside Park yesterday. I’ve been taking photos at the Toronto Polar Bear Club’s annual plunge since 2014. As I drove down I imagined taking more pictures of empty spaces. What I hadn’t realized was that the fundraiser for the Boost Child and Youth Advocacy Centre had moved online. People were doing their own dip for Boost. People arrived in ones and twos and my heart swelled. It was a good start to a new year. I miss you Toronto: I hope to see more of you again soon!
A two-in-one this week.
First up, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022. I would also like to thank everyone for taking time to look at my pictures this year.
Secondly, this is also Throwback Thursday (311). Eleven years ago sees Dublin Bus WV 38 loading up on O'Connell Street with a service on route 123.
This bus was delivered new to Dublin Bus in 2000, originally in City imp livery. It was withdrawn towards the end of 2010 and was sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 123 started in the early 1990s. This City Imp route replaced former routes 23 and 24, and operated between Marino and Drimnagh Road. In 2006 the southern terminus was moved to Kilnamanagh Road.
