After months of virtual building, she's finally done. Probably going to start ordering parts from bricklink soon. And unlike my other MOCs, this will be powered by a L-motor running on a 4-wide CO-CO bogie. (Yet to build and test)
Class 24 is a Diesel Electric built by Toshiba Electric Co, Japan. It was introduced to Malaysia in 1987. It is still in service today. This loco produces a whopping 2400 horsepower and reaches a top speed of 120 Km/h.

At first, I thought I wasn't really gonna get anything decent for today. I spent most of the evening working on a project and other work I had to make up. I squirmed to my front yard at around 10 to see if I could get a quick shot but I didn't get anyhting. Then I thought I could just take a photograph of one of my paintings and use that. Then (once again), I went to my room and decided I was going to do another shot with the light to go along with the little series with the light, and I got this. Since I am posting this now, I will just post the rest of the series some time tomorrow.
Oh, I used a tripod made out of pillows for this since I couldn't find my actual tripod.

The deadline at the Juniata Shops is four tracks wide ranging from 1,100 ft to 2,600 ft in length. There are still several GP38s, GP38ACs, a few SD40s, and a few GP50s here.

The colors are starting to fade a bit, but for me, this is still the most poignant image of the campaign against senseless gang violence.
They can say "drop the guns" all day long, but those who are instigating and perpetuating the violence are not listening. This haunting image of a child, at an age where he will be pressured to join, or killed if he refuses, says it all...
Pilsen has undergone considerable gentrification over the past two decades, a process that has sped up in recent years. It is because of grassroots efforts to drive the gangs out that so many Yuppies now view Pilsen as a desirable place to live. Consequently, much of the violence has moved elsewhere, primarily to the Little Village and of the Yards neighborhoods in Chicago, and into western suburbs like Cicero, Berwyn and Aurora.
We need to eradicate gang violence wherever it is, and wherever it tries to take root.
I have photographed this mural before - back in May of 2012 - but went back and shot it in its present condition, especially because so many of Pilsen's iconic murals have disappeared in recent years. It is important that we maintain these iconic murals, not just because they highlight the struggle against gang violence, but because they are fine examples of the Muralist tradition that is so deeply rooted in the Mexican community.
Pilsen's demographics may be in transition, but its murals should be part and parcel of the new upscale Pilsen that will eventually emerge. If the Yuppies want to buy into that quaint mixture of Bohemian architecture and Mexican culture, they should be the first in line to fight for the preservation of these treasures. What I fear is going on right now, is that some newly-arrived business organizations think they can eradicate gang violence by getting rid of the murals...
In the meantime, come down and see these murals at 19th & Loomis, and stay for lunch or dinner at any of the wonderful restaurants along Blue Island or 18th Street. You might also want to visit the National Museum of Mexican Art, just six blocks west at 19th & Wolcott. Admission is free, but a donation is much appreciated.
