Here in Switzerland (Vaud, Lake Geneva) nature is more advanced as home in Leoben. CZJ Biotar 2/58 @2
Shippensburg slapped new stickers on most all of their trucks in the last few weeks. No repaints or WM trucks at this point, I don’t think they’ll paint any yet as they need every single truck they can get to run at this point and more and more keep getting transferred out and more and more of their routes sit uncollected.
Using 318 magic and travis bricks to fit parts that do not follow brick math. Non purists can cut the support tubes to length for perfect fit.
A couple more pickups from yesterday. I had Warduke as a kid and have been meaning to pick one up for ages.

British Rail spent a long time in the 60's/70's developing a 155mph tilting train to speed up services on the West Coast Mainline. When the first ones were introduced rather prematurely at the end of 1981 there were some problems, compounded by the usual pathetic sniping from the press. This resulted in their withdrawal very shortly afterwards. The prototypes were quietly slipped back into service in 1984 and ran without problems - but it was too late and the project was scrapped. Now most fast services on this line are operated by Italian Pendolinos. So they made use of BR's pioneering research and have now made the money!
When I photographed this unit at Preston in September 1982 presumably it was still doing trial running.
This is just a better picture. In the correct colour scheme, I don't think that this guy would look out of place in the death star trench run ;)
"Any bungler can admire Hardanger, but come to Jæren, here we have nature for the advanced."
~ Alexander Lange Kielland ~
In Norwegian, the original language:
"Enhver Klodrian kan beundre Hardanger, men kom til Jæderen, her har vi natur for viderekomne."
---------------------------------------------------
*Hardanger: A picturesque region in Norway with fjords, mountains and fruit plantations.
**Jæren: A region with a landscape unlike any other place in Norway, mostly flat with long beaches. Fresh wind, rapidly changing light and weather, mild climate and short distance to the nature experiences gives a sense of being strongly present in life.
This image is from the lovely evening on Sele beach yesterday.

The above image was taken on Friday 27th September 2013 at the new inaugural Welshot Chester Advanced academy evening. The evening was really good fun with plenty on hands on lighting setups with guidance from the Welshot team.
The model this month was infact a good friend of mine called Ashley Fayth. Ashley is an amazingly talented singer/songwriter from Newfoundland, Canada who last year released a brilliant album called “Wonder Wonder” (I highly recommend a listern!).

A radical approach to recording this scene. A conscious decision to edit this picture in a slightly Avant-garde style in which i used the low winter sun to create a silhouette of the two Class 66 locomotives crossing Ribblehead Viaduct. The subtle glints on the locos really caught my eye which led me to include the powerful sun rather than exclude it.
