In case anyone was wondering, it seems I have lost the Iron Builder competition against Rod “2 Much Caffeine” Gillies. I know, I know, but what can you do? As part of the gentleman’s agreement that the loser builds a winner a trophy...and if there is only one thing I’m well known for, its being a gentleman...I have come up with a truly great trophy! Tis the holiday season and the holiday spirit is all about giving and spending time with the ones you love. This is why I am giving a beautiful LEGO Christmas ornament depicting Mr. Caffeine spending quality time with the one he loves. You can tell he’s a Scotsman by his ginger hair and you can tell he’s 2 Much Caffeine by his coffee mug...and his thousand yard stare of someone who can’t be trusted with a Victoria’s Secret catalog. The whole shebang comes complete with a handsome display stand with Caffeine’s namesake cleverly blazoned across the front! Any Scottish builder would be proud to display this on his desk, mantle...or in his barn! The best thing about this is it was crafted by my own petite, womanish hands, which will add much needed value to your property! Probably.
Nothing says “I can’t believe how awesome I am” like a trophy and you, sir, are the awesome-est! Rod, when you get this, you can reposition the sheep and the minifig to stand side by side so that Mrs. Caffeine and all the little Caffeines can enjoy it as well...or just keep it as is for that extra bit of humor! A Scotsman shagging a sheep inside a Christmas ornament...have you ever seen anything so adorable in your life? No, seriously...have you ever? Cuz I don’t think you have!
Happy Holidays, Rod. It was a pleasure competing with you! Now PM me your addy so this can be yours.
Amtrak 186 & 150 head up the Eastbound Empire Builder at Grizzly MT. on October 7, 2001. Behind the express box cars are two Caltrain bi-level coaches heading east for mid-life overhauls.
Post WW2, British steam locomotive builders had to contend with a difficult economic situation at home and the loss of major overseas markets as countries, led by India, gained independence and looked elsewhere for railway items. Some were propped up for a while by government contracts for diesels and electrics mandated by the 1955 modernisation plan, which mostly proved to be a waste of public funds, but most eventually went out of business.

The Cathedral Builders
by John Ormond
They climbed on sketchy ladders towards God,
with winch and pulley hoisted hewn rock into heaven,
inhabited the sky with hammers,
defied gravity,
deified stone,
took up God's house to meet him,
and came down to their suppers
and small beer,
every night slept, lay with their smelly wives,
quarrelled and cuffed the children,
lied, spat, sang, were happy, or unhappy,
and every day took to the ladders again,
impeded the rights of way of another summer's swallows,
grew greyer, shakier,
became less inclined to fix a neighbour's roof of a fine evening,
saw naves sprout arches, clerestories soar,
cursed the loud fancy glaziers for their luck,
somehow escaped the plague,
got rheumatism,
decided it was time to give it up,
to leave the spire to others,
stood in the crowd, well back from the vestments at the consecration,
envied the fat bishop his warm boots,
cocked a squint eye aloft,
and said, "I bloody did that."

* A Life of Building*
We've got builders in doing work on the hall and they've left us their mugs, radio and 1150 PG Tips!
The beautiful log railroad station in West Glacier, Montana is served by the Amtrak "Empire Builder". The building is now the home of the Glacier Natural History Association and, unfortunately, no longer has any passenger facilities.
Built between 1906 and 1907, the Leongatha Post and Telegraph Office is located in the very bustling heart of the South Gippsland town of Leongatha at 4 McCartin Street. It is axially sited at the end of Blair Street in the town's commercial centre. It is sited on the most prominent intersection in town, with strong visual relationships to the courthouse to the north and Remembrance Building and old Shire Offices to the south, as well as the Mechanics’ Institute and McCartin Hotel, also very close by.
Designed by J. B. Cohen of the Victorian Public Works Department in 1906, the successful winner of the construction tender was local builder Neil Falconer, who quoted its erection of the post office for just over £1058.00. The building was completed and opened to the public in February 1907. The building originally included a residential quarters for the postmaster, but this was converted to house the local telephone exchange in the 1930s. The mailroom was extended in 1914, resulting in a projecting bay from the north elevation. The building remains in use today as a post office (owned and operated by Australia Post), although the telephone exchange has been relocated to a new building constructed to the rear of the site.
The Leongatha Post and Telegraph Office is a timber building constructed in Federation Queen Anne style architecture. It features a hipped, corrugated iron roof, oriented north and south, with half-hips to the sides. The front elevation features two projecting gables, both stepped and bracketed with roughcast infill, above the main office and the main entry. The original Art Nouveau lettering "Post & Telegraph Office" remains below the roughcast panel. The entry beneath the porch features red brick piers and square timber posts with neck moulds, standing on a low balustrade (originally tuck-pointed). It also has tessellated floor tiles and bluestone steps. The west side roof extends to form a side porch, featuring paired, turned timber posts. The front windows still retain their Art Nouveau stained glass upper panels, featuring stylised tulips in brilliant vermillion.
The Leongatha Post and Telegraph Office is one of a small group of post offices, along with those in Terang (1903), Sorrento (1904), Korumburra (1904) and Woodend (1905), to be constructed for the Commonwealth by the Victorian government in the early years after Federation. These buildings were all designed and constructed by the Victorian Public Works Department under the supervisor of its chief architect, J. H. Marsden, even though postal and telegraphic services were among the powers transferred to the Commonwealth from the states in 1901. After the early months of 1907, no further post offices were built in Victoria until 1909, when a concerted building campaign was commenced by the Commonwealth, which erected postal buildings at Canterbury, Hawthorn, Brunswick, and Beulah. Others followed in 1910, at Casterton, Birchip, Box Hill, Clifton Hill, Port Melbourne, Sandringham, Rupanyup, Violet Town and Willaura. More than a dozen or so more had been completed prior to the outbreak of World War I.
Today the Leongatha Post and Telegraph Office is one of the oldest still functioning post offices built for the Commonwealth after Federation in 1901.
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.

First time putting plastic toys on a cake, but the mom *really* wanted them so I factored it in to the design. You can't see it but the backhoe is conveniently digging into a spot on the side of the cake where I was about to have a fondant blowout; it created a perfect "I meant to do that!" decoration! This cake has elements of so many other construction cakes, I wouldn't even know who to credit. Everything is fondant except the truck toys, candy rocks and candy lego building blocks. Well, and the cookie crumb dirt.
