1/32 resin slot car Jaguar XK120 1951 BSCC. Modified PSR resin body (from www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/ ) with PCS32 chassis and front steering unit (from www.chase-cars.com ).
Audi stellte den SUV Q5 2008 vor. Seine Stahlkarosserie besteht aus etwa 1/3 Tiefziehstählen und 2/3 hoch-, höher- und höchstfesten Stählen. Gefügt wird die Karosserie mit gut 5000 Widerstandsschweißpunkten und mehr als 80 m 2-Komponenten Klebstoffnähten. Auch Laserschweißen und Löten kommen als Fügetechniken zum Einsatz.
A series of photographs documenting the release of GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" from the Wabtec Brush works at Loughborough. 044 had spent exactly 14 months there for overhaul, reliability mods and new wheelsets. The assisting locomotive was a fellow Brush Traction machine, Class 60, 60 002 "Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020".
The 60 had also been out of traffic for more than a year after a turbo fire. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed repairs and then some additional mods were done as well as its immaculate repaint - the first GBRf loco repainted at DB Cargo's Toton depot.
This was the 60's first working for GBRf after its long spell in Toton and also its first run on the main line sporting its recently received new name commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Graham Farish.
This was also the first time two of GB Railfreight's Brush "cousins" - the Class 60 and Class 92 - had been together. The locos share a common bodyshell design, built by Procor in Wakefield, and have other similar components.
Potentially most historically of all, though - with the subsequent announcement the Brush Traction works are due to close by the end of the year - there's a good chance this was the last time a Class 60 will visit the place where the 100-strong class were built in 1989-1993.
GB's sole active grey 92 had lost its tunnel rings and Crewe Electric depot plaques whilst in Brush, but there are rumours of a new livery to come in due course. However, that won't be before it gets back to earning some coin for its owners (and DB!) with a brief visit to Crewe for a test run, before heading to Dollands Moor to resume tunnel duties.
60 002 ran from Toton as 0Z60 08:45 Toton TMD to Loughborough Brush, then moved 92 044 to Crewe ETD on 0Z61 09:58 Loughborough Brush to Crewe ETD, before the 60 then ran on solo to resume biomass duties on 0Z62 13:09 Crewe ETD to Tuebrook Sidings.

Der Audi TT von 2007 setzte auf die Hybrid Bauweise. Die gesamte Karosserie mit Ausnahme des hinteren Bodenblechbereiches, der aus Stahlblech gefertigt war, war in der ASF Bauweise (Audi Space Frame) aus Aluminium gebaut. Diese Änderung gegenüber der ersten Serie erfolgte u.a. um mehr Gewicht auf die Hinterachse zu bekommen und so dem Auftrieb bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten entgegen zu wirken.
D1705 built as a Class 47 with a difference. A 47 bodyshell and a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine, resulted in a Class 48 classification. Refitted with a standard engine in 1969, this turned her the loco into a 47.
Sparrowhawk is seen here on the GCR
1/32 slot car MGB Roadster c.1967 road car. Airfix bodyshell and modified Scalextric chassis with a Mabuchi motor.
Peugeot 205 'Look' 1.0 L. After the 1.0L engine gave up, I got MMC to fit a secondhand 1360cc unit from a Citroen AX GT. I fitted the genuine Peugeot wheel arch extensions and side mouldings, despite being told by Morrison Motors that it could not be done to a non GTi bodyshell. Brian sourced the front and rear valances, the Devil exhaust and secondhand alloys. I refurbished the alloys and Brian fitted the Renault Clio rear wiper arm.
The obligatory Default outfit photoset with Aqua.
I actually dont like her as a character, and mainly got the doll because the faceup was the first tolerable from volks in a while, and as a minor surprise bonus the new DD F3 V2.0 body.
All poses are done without supports, and none of the poses are anything new that I havent done before, even with a DD2.
The V2.0 is still mostly the same style F3 frame underneath, with its irritations in a tweaked bodyshell, and the only real improvement has come from the neck notch, which has been a known retrofit for previous bodies since the DD2.
I took an Atlas RS32 bodyshell, lopped off the short hood, then turned around and lopped off the Kato's short hood and dry-fit everything together.
Apparently the stock rs32 short hood is about 10" longer than what Alco put on 576-579, so I'm going to need to cut down the hood by ~3mm so that it doesn't shove forward into the front walkway (I'm also going to have to trim off the NDS access door & relocate the single louver (toilet?) forward.)
I've also got to yeet the underframe battery boxes and put a single step below the door leading to the rear DS walkway, and I'm sure there's a bunch more fiddly little things I need to do (as well as replacing the 244's exhaust with a transverse 251 exhaust.)
Hybrid of Viva bodyshell and the slant 4 engines from the Victor FE.
As well as the mechanical upgrades, the interior was smartened up.
VXD584M is listed as a silver Vauxhall Victor 2300 last taxed on 1 January 1986, so some plate swapping has taken place.
1/32 resin slot car Lancia Stratos HF turbo Le Mans 1976. Driven to 20th place by Lella Lombardi & Christine Dacremont. Ghost Models ( www.proto-slot-kit.com/ghostmodels.html ) resin bodyshell and Slot Classic chassis.

Alfa Romeo Junior Z
The Junior Z was created by Zagato using the short-wheelbase Type 105 chassis from the Spider, and the five-speed gearbox from the Giulietta. It was an arresting-looking coupé that added real variety to the Alfa Romeo line-up, but unlike earlier Alfa-Zagatos, it was not conceived for racing, nor was it particularly lightweight - it featured a steel bodyshell with an aluminium bonnet and aluminium door-skins (on the earlier 1300 JZs).
The sloping front and Kamm tail were certainly a world apart from the well-crafted classicism of the rest of the Giulia-derived cars, but no less appealing for it. The Junior Zagato was a little lighter and more aerodynamic than the standard cars so it was a bit quicker too. Considering its coachbuilt status, values are surprisingly low.

The 1957 Hawk had a completely new body with unitary construction which it would go on to share with the 1958 Humber Super Snipe. This was the biggest bodyshell for a saloon/estate car built in Great Britain at the time.

Doncaster Railway Station South Yorkshire Virgin East Coast Japanese Hitachi Azuma Train passing the EMPTY factory where Sir Nigel Gresley used to build the finest BRITISH Steam Trains in the world. Virgin Trains should be ashamed at buying Foreign Trains.
VTEC plans to take delivery of its first four Azumas from Hitachi in 2018. The Class 800 Super Express is a type of electro-diesel train to be used in the United Kingdom based on the Hitachi A-train design. They have been built by Hitachi. These trains are being assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan; NO body construction takes place in the UK.
A Trainspotting Nightmare these Japanese trains have NO NUMBERS. To add insult to injury they have Japanese writing. Shame on VTEC
"The Porsche 911 R is a special lightweight homologation version of the original Porsche 911. Designed to take the then newly released 911 to its limits, the 911 R featured numerous weight saving measures, such as fibreglass bodyshell and panels fabricated by Karl Baur, lightweight windows and removal of numerous interior features. The car used the 2.0 901/22 flat-6 from the 906 and can be distinguished from other 911's by its flared wheel arches. Produced from 1967 to 1968 just 24 were produced".
A casting only launched last year as a premium release but now becomes a lot more accessible thanks to being in the new and less expensive National Icons series. This is its standard red colour though there is a spectraflame red Chase alternative which stupidly I didn't bother searching for it despite finding pegs full of this assortment at my nearest Smyths Toys.
Its a rather stunning little thing, not full on premium but detailed and finished well enough to just about justify its 4.00 price point.
Mint and boxed.
there's a abandoned car repair yard & garage about a mile from my house, i had some spare time this morning so i thought id go & have a look round, in the bushes down the side of the garage are two reliant robin bodyshells this one appears to have had part of the roof cut away
Jaguar C-Type replica (handbuilt!)
A company out of Edmonton, Alberta, is planning to market these C-Type replica's, they built this one using a Heritage bodyshell and chassis, and then did the rest of the build in their shop... Anyway, the long and short of it, this is a spectacular car!
More information about these cars at www.sportscarcentre.ca/index.php?p=8
Finished bodyshell with headlight and fog light visors made from clear plastic (from plastic packaging for a set of pens!!). Rally plaques and number plates printed with a laser jet on to white decal paper. These were laid on to clear lexan, sealed with Klear and cut out prior to being glued on. It helps to use fine sand paper to rough up the lexan to assist the glue adhesion. (Front number plate has an L-shaped nickel bracket to support it on the bumper). Number decals from Bruce at Pattos Place ( www.pattosplace.com/ ). Exhaust tail pipe added, made from alloy tubing. Spare wheel from my spares box, glued on and straps made from black electrical insulation tape (hand-painted buckles). Whole bodyshell painted with 3 coats of Klear acrylic polish prior to fitting windows.

2014 "Chevrolet Camaro" in the paddocks of the 2014 CRAA classic race in Aarhus.
Driver: Jesper Kilstrup Egebart (DK)
Racing class: Auto-G DTC
Race number: 21
Race results in 2014 event:
Training (fri.): 6 (of 18)
Qualifying (sat.): 4 (of 19)
Heat 1 (sat): 13 (of 19)
Heat 2 (sun.): 9 (of 18)
Heat 3, final (sun.): 13 (of 18)
Photo taken after heat 1.
DTC stands for Danish Thundersport Championship. The cars follow the CCR MkI and MkII regulations. They consist of a chassis built by Performance AutoMotive Scandinavian AB (PASAB) fitted with a clip-on bodyshell. The engines are 5,7 litre V8s, delivering 445 hp. The available bodyshells change a little from year to year, but in 2014 there were 3 options: Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
Each race weekend consists of a free practice, qualifying and 3 heats, of which the last one is considered the "final"
After heat one, the top 8 will normally get reversed for the heat 2 starting grid, which often causes interesting results and is a guarantee for highly entertaining racing.
Races take place mostly in Denmark, but with occasional visits abroad. 2 races per year take place on street circuits: this one in Aarhus at the CRAA and one in Copenhagen during the Historic Grand Prix there.
Most drivers are danish, but there's always a few norwegians in the pack as well.
The driver line-up is incredibly mixed and features star drivers (past and present) like Jan Magnussen, "Super John" Nielsen, Ronnie Bremer and Casper Elgaard alongside some of Denmark's finest young racing talents with full backing from big teams, as well as a bunch of privateers, who primarily take part for the fun of racing.
At the end of each season, a driver's 3 worst results get discarded to get the final overall result.
The DTC class is widely regarded as the pinnacle of racing on danish soil and is followed intensely by media as well as spectators.
There have been some voices against the DTC being included in the CRAA, saying that this class is anything but "classic racing", which is, of course, true, but no class causes the stands to be as packed as DTC, so it certainly helps attract people (and media interest)
DTC may not be "classic racing", but it plays a major part in making the annual CRAA event so successful.

In a hurry to get back home - Network Rail Track Assessment unit 950001 passes Water Orton a full 2 hours early working 2Q08 08.30 Oxford Down Carriage Sidings to Derby RTC. 950001 had worked a series of runs in the Reading & Westbury areas.
950001 was purpose-built by BREL at York in 1987, using the same bodyshell as the Class 150/1 "Sprinter" units that were built from 1985-1986. It was originally classified as a Class 180 test unit, but since this designation is used by the GWR "Adelante" units, it has been reclassified into the departmental series. The unit is formed of two driving motor vehicles. Individual carriages numbered as 999600 & 999601
The unit is currently painted in a plain overall yellow livery with Network Rail branding. It mostly works on lines also used by Sprinters and Pacers where the track quality is not good enough for larger and heavier track assessment stock. It is able to operate over most railway lines around Great Britain. The unit is based at Derby RTC.
