A very potent caliber, in a reasonable size cartridge. Its stopping power combined with it’s ability to be put into a 9mm size weapon, makes this a perfect Duty/ Carry caliber. One of my Favorites for sure.

Number 40
2-8-0 "Consolidation"
This coal-fired locomotive was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (#58824) of Philadelphia, PA. in December 1925 and sold new to the Lancaster and Chester Railway Co., of Lancaster, South Carolina at a price of $25,125.96.
Dubbed as "The Springfield Line" for the textiles made by the cotton mills the railroad served, the Lancaster & Chester Railway used the utilitarian 40 primarily as a freight engine. The 40 apparently became surplus motive power for the L&C after World War II, leading to the locomotive's sale in 1947 to the neighboring Cliffside Railroad Co. in North Carolina.
On the Cliffside-also a prosperous textile carrier-the 40 shared the responsibilities Vulcan-built 2-6-2 No. 110. Interestingly, the 40 was regulated to secondary service, as Cliffside crews preferred using the considerably smaller 110. When the railroad took delivery of a second-hand 35 ton diesel electric in early 1962, the last steam run was made for company officials and special guests using the 110 on July 20 of that year.
In 1962 the 40 was retubed in anticipation of future use, however, this never transpired due to the sudden diesel purchase. Instead, Steam Trains, Inc. from Pennsylvania purchased the locomotive for $5,000 and shipped it north with spare parts for storage at the Reading's Beech Street roundhouse in Wilmington, Delaware and later at the Reading's St. Clair shops. In 1966, much of other Steam Trains equipment was assembled in a transfer move to New Hope, PA., with the 40 dead-in-tow.
Although it was in operating condition, the 40 only saw service on the New Hope and Ivyland during the 1967 season. It underwent a major rebuilding in 1974, and replaced 4-6-0 No. 1533 in NHIR passenger service beginning in 1975. While the 40 operated periodically during the late 1970s, it frequently pulled New Hope Steam Railway passenger trains from 1981 to 1986. During the latter period, the locomotive was decorated as a circus freak, wearing flashy florescent colors and garish tender heralds. Last steamed during the 1986 season, the 40 was stored unserviceable for the next couple of years.
Because the future of the railroad seemed questionable at that time, the NHSR was reluctant to make the necessary repairs to repair the 40 for service. When the Bucks County Railroad Preservation and Restoration Corporation purchased the railroad in 1990 they engaged their own mechanical forces and those of the Strasburg Rail Road in extensively rebuilding the 40, which was completed in June 1991. Now in excellent mechanical condition, the 40 has been returned to a more original appearance and currently serves the New Hope and Ivyland as its only operating steam locomotive.
Wildlife in Belgium ?
Seriously, we have lots of wild & small species running around in this area of the world;
and I even live a mile away from one of the famous Belgian Zoo Parks (namely Planckendael),
but since my kids grew up so fast I don't have a membership anymore..
Thus I was soo happy to capture our little pig running around in the garden..
say hello to little piggy !

Postcard - Fay Thomas Collection
The Fay Thomas Collection includes family archives relating to the Thomas family. Moses Thomas (1825-1878) was a significant figure in the history of the area now known as the City of Whittlesea, Victoria, Australia. Thomas and Ann and their family lived at "Mayfield", Mernda, Victoria.
Miss Lily Thomas (1871-1946), Thomas and Ann’s fourth daughter lived there all her life. She collected postcards which her family and friends sent her on a very regular basis. It was an easy and enjoyable way to keep in touch. Production of postcards blossomed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lily’s collection encompasses the so-called Golden Age (1890-1915) with many postmarked 1906-1907. Some were sent to other members of the family.
Her collection document the natural landscape as well as the built environment—buildings, gardens, parks, and tourist sites. Topographical Postcards showing street scenes and general views from Australian and international locations.
Decorative cards, many embellished with floral motives (as a nod to the receiver Lily?) and embossing. Greeting cards are common for Christmas, New Year, Easter and of course birthdays.
Regular senders can be identified from Kyneton and the Great Ocean Road area, Victoria and there is a siginifant collection from Scotland (but not sent from there).

Well, the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. But I do know this, things could be much, much worse. Always.

Unidentified 47/7 with the Mk2 P/V push pull set slows down for the stop at Gleneagles. This set 'I believe' was used on a Perth train which was extended to Inverness on Fridays. Perhaps someone else can remember better than myself.
