GERMANY: The first two TW3000 high-floor light rail vehicles entered passenger service on Route 7 in Hannover on March 15th 2015.
The two-section bidirectional air-conditioned articulated vehicles are 25 m long and 2 650 mm wide. They will replace the TW6000 cars, which are 30 years old. They will initially operate on Route 7 and then on Route 3. These are cross city stadtbahn (tram) routes with a tunnelled section with stations in the city centre.
City transport operator Üstra placed an initial order for 50 LRVs from a consortium led by Vossloh Kiepe and including Alstom Transport in 2011. Around half of the €126m cost was funded from Land transport agency LNVG.
The contract includes an option for 96 LRVs, and Üstra ordered a further 50 in 2013 for €90m.
Vossloh Kiepe provided electrical equipment and Alstom has supplied specially designed compact bogies. The bodyshells were built in Salzgitter by Bozankaya, with other components coming from Düsseldorf. Final assembly was undertaken by HeiterBlick in Leipzig.
The first TW3000 LRV was presented to the public in March 2014; however, entry into service was delayed because of weld defects.

1/32 slot car Volvo PV544 1960 Monte Carlo rally. Driven by Arve Andersen & Ulrich Moller-Halvorsen to 60th place. OCAR resin bodyshell, PCS32 chassis, MRRC wheel inserts & MRRC figures.
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.
This uses the Airfix bodyshell and is mounted on a Penelope pitlane chassis. I've built the car for the 2013 Sprite proxy race.
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.
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.

This will be the view of the innards of the model soon. It looks like I should be able to get the bodyshell to pass over this! The upper deck has been finished as per the lower deck colours, however the area around the rear panels / staircase is the same red it would have been in London. I have cut part of the upper deck rear panel (around the emergency window) off to allow the upper deck to go together this way.

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.

2014 "Chevrolet Camaro" in the paddocks of the 2014 CRAA classic race in Aarhus.
Driver: Patrick Egsgaard (DK)
Racing class: Auto-G DTC
Race number: 8
Race results in 2014 event:
Training (sat.): 11 (of 18)
Qualifying (sat.): 8 (of 19)
Heat 1 (sat): 15, RET (of 19)
Heat 2 (sun.): 8 (of 18)
Heat 3, final (sun.): 8 (of 18)
Photo taken after heat 1, where the car retired, so it's probably being towed out in the back for "surgery"
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.

Very much at home now in Central Scotland, the 385s seem to have settled in and become part of the scenery. Seen here, the 15.29 Glasgow Central to Lanark, comprising two three car sets, is pausing at Motherwell’s Platform 1, having taken the direct route from Central via Uddingston. The 385s were designed by Hitachi and built at Newton Aycliffe, apart from the first seven, which were constructed entirely at Hitachi's Kasado Works factory in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi, Japan, thus the set seen here is a seasoned traveller…
In October 2014, immediately after being awarded the ScotRail franchise, Abellio ScotRail announced it had concluded an agreement with the Japanese manufacturer Hitachi Rail to procure 234 new EMU carriages from its A-Train family for use on routes in Scotland that were being electrified. During April 2015, a contract between Hitachi and Abellio ScotRail was signed, ordering 70 new-build EMUs at a cost of £475 million. The unts, which are formed into a mix of three and four-car sets, were procured for the purpose of operating along the main Glasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line from December 2017, and across Central Scotland. In this manner, the electrification programme and purchase of new EMUs to operate services, would allow a subsequent cascade of the Class 158 and 170 DMUs currently used elsewhere on the network.
The order for the new EMUs was the first operator-based purchase of a Hitachi product for use in the UK following the IEP procurement, and its subsequent construction of its new Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility at Newton Aycliffe. The units were supplied to Abellio Scotrail through a leasing arrangement, which was formed at the time of the original order. Accordingly, the ownership of the fleet resides with Caledonian Rail Leasing Ltd, a subsidiary company of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Construction commenced in November 2015, with the first units being delivered in December 2016. The bodyshells, supplied by Kasado, were shipped to Newtown Aycliffe and subjected to around seven days of static fitting out, after which they were moved through the production area via an internal traverser, each vehicle required 2,100 man-hours to complete. Roughly 71 percent of all components were sourced within the United Kingdom.

The Class 67 locomotives are a class of Bo-Bo diesel electric mainline locomotives which were built for the English Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) between 1999 to 2000 by Alstom at Meinfesa in Valencia, Spain. The bodyshell is a monocoque load bearing Alstom design,[7][8] the bogies are an "H" frame Alstom design,[7] The engine, traction motors and control electronics are GM-EMD products, and the same as used in the British Rail Class 66. Power output is 2,386 kW (3,200 bhp), with a top speed of 200kph (124 mph).
MG MGB Roadster, 1969 TAX182G

Manufacturer British Leyland Motor Corporation
Location Made Abingdon
Engine 4cyl, 1798cc, 95bhp
Fuel Petrol
Top Speed 103mph (166km/h)
Price When New £1,063
From its introduction in 1962, the MGB was extremely successful, especially in the USA. Over 512,880 cars were built, with 125,621 GT models, the rest being roadster models and it became the best selling British sports car ever.
With around 250,000 MGBs still in existence world-wide, it was an obvious first choice when British Motor Heritage decided to re-manufacture original bodyshells.
The new MGB bodyshell was launched in 1988 at the NEC Classic Motor Show, where this 1969 car was rebuilt during the Show using the first new bodies.
Following the Motor Show the car appeared in 'Classic Cars' magazine and featured on the BBC programme 'Top Gear'. It was later auctioned and the proceeds of £13,500 donated to charity.
