We really dodged a bullet with our recent winter storm. They had predicted an ice storm with up to a half an inch of ice. But we ended up getting mostly sleet and a couple of inches of snow. The last time we had ice at a half inch, our power was out for almost four days....and we spent the first three in our bitterly cold house, desperately wishing we had a backup option. Every space heater in the area had been snapped up by the time we could get to the store, but on day four we managed to find this kerosene heater. And wouldn't you know, about four hours after we set it up and finally got warm....the power came back on.
At any rate, we didn't take any chances this time, and had our heater set up and ready for action before the event. I'm pleased to say we didn't need it, but as there is another storm on the horizon for the end of the week....this thing is staying right where it is for now. 😊
Hopefully all my uploads from here on out will be new content. This was taken last summer at the Italian Gathering in Columbus, Ohio.
Preserved green liveried 'Crompton' D6515 (33 012) sits in platform 3 at Clapham Junction on the rear of light engine move 0Z28.
This was a positioning move for rebuilt Bulleid Pacific 34028 'Eddystone' running from the Swanage Railway to West Coast Railway's centre at Southall, it's first run on the main line in 61 years. I'm guessing the '33' was attached on the rear as a backup in case of a problem with the 'Pacific' locomotive.
Fighting those furry critters (aka Ewoks aka most hated creature in the whole SW-universe besides Han Solo) has 2 golden rules:
Rule #1: look cool - always
Rule#2: have an AT-AT following you closely
I just love the panic in the eye of the Ewok on the left. Run Forrest, RUN!
Commander Krik is forced to have backup on his mission. There is a possibility that clone commander Spark might be held captive, which would lead Krik into a trap. Because of the dense foliage speeders and turbo tanks wouldn't be able to make it. The danger is high. No time for errors...
I was originally going to take this picture inside my Chancellor's Office MOC, but realized that there wasn't enough space for it.

Class 52s Nos. D1010 Western Campaigner and D1048 Western Lady move off Bath Road depot, Bristol, in readyness to follow the "Western Tribute" railtour on its way from Swansea to Plymouth. These locomotives were standing by in case either D1013 or D1023 were to fail whilst hauling the special train on Saturday 26th February 1977.
See this shot in David Hayes's photostream showing the same locomotives, but a little earlier:
