This is my third and final entry into the Iron Forge second round, using wrenches and hammers as the seed part. I used them in the chairs, the steps, as the door handle, and as part of the power pole. This was a fun build, and I'm pretty proud of it. I hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

The Empire Builder exits Saint Paul down an hour off the schedule. A pair of GE P42DCs make this train appear like an Empire Builder before the inception of the Siemens ALC-42s.
One of the newest Siemens ALC-42s leads the Empire Builder off the BNSF Midway Subdivision and onto Minnesota Commercial trackage at St. Anthony Junction.
Eighth and final build in my Iron Builder round against Loïc, with the Technic rotation joint cylinder in med. azure as a seed part.
The seed part was used ten times... But can you spot any other seed parts from previous rounds?
Amtrak P42 5 leads the Westbound Empire Builder out of Portage, WI. P42 leaders on the Builder have become somewhat uncommon.
Palacio de los Marqueses de Torremejia, Almagro, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
El palacio de Torremejía está ubicado en pleno casco histórico de Almagro. Ocupa toda una manzana, con una extensión total de unos 2.500 metros cuadrados construidos y distribuidos en dos plantas.
Destaca su patio principal, porticado con columnas isabelinas del siglo XV, y un segundo patio o corral, con entrada de carruajes desde la plaza, que antecedía al desaparecido hospital de la Cofradía de las Ánimas.
No se conoce con exactitud quien fue el promotor, constructor y primer propietario del palacio. Sí se tiene constancia de que el edificio se levantó en la segunda mitad del siglo XV, aunque con el paso de los años sufriría notables transformaciones.
Otros estudios procedentes de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, aseguran que el constructor de este palacio fue Marcos de la Madrid, otro judeoconverso, banquero de Carlos V, casado con Juana Rodríguez de Pisa, hija de García de Pisa. Esta relación con los Pisa justificaría también la presencia del escudo de esta familia en el patio principal del palacio.
Investigadores locales aseguran que el primer propietario de este palacio fue García de Pisa, un integrante de la poderosa familia de judeoconversos de los Pisa llegada a Almagro desde tierras gallegas, al amparo de los últimos maestres de Calatrava, cuya sede estaba en Almagro. En el capitel de unas de las columnas isabelinas del patio central se conserva un escudo con la imagen de un águila coronada, símbolo de los Pisa.
The Torremejía palace is located in the historic centre of Almagro. It occupies an entire block, with a total area of about 2,500 square metres built and distributed over two floors.
Its main courtyard stands out, with a portico with Isabelline columns from the 15th century, and a second courtyard or corral, with carriage entrance from the square, which preceded the now-defunct hospital of the Cofradía de las Ánimas.
It is not known exactly who was the promoter, builder and first owner of the palace. There is evidence that the building was built in the second half of the 15th century, although over the years it would undergo significant transformations.
Other studies from the University of Castilla-La Mancha claim that the builder of this palace was Marcos de la Madrid, another Jewish convert, banker of Charles V, married to Juana Rodríguez de Pisa, daughter of García de Pisa. This relationship with the Pisa would also justify the presence of the coat of arms of this family in the main courtyard of the palace.
Local researchers claim that the first owner of this palace was García de Pisa, a member of the powerful family of converted Jews of the Pisa family who arrived in Almagro from Galicia, under the protection of the last masters of Calatrava, whose headquarters were in Almagro. On the capital of one of the Isabelline columns in the central courtyard there is a shield with the image of a crowned eagle, the symbol of the Pisa family.

The male Satin Bowerbird's major task in life is to construct and maintain his distinctive avenue bower. Made from carefully selected twigs and decorated with precious found objects, its purpose is to attract a mate.
The Empire Builder zips over Jamaica Avenue in Cottage Grove on the CPKC River Subdivision with help from the BNSF. I don't like when freight power is on Amtrak, but I was in the area for Borealis, so why not get a shot of the Empire Builder anyway? So far, 2025 has been nothing but equipment failures and problems for both the Borealis and Empire Builder. It is unfortunate and disappointing.

Lycians were great builders.
And they appreciate the beauty.
The Empire Builder passes near the Glacier Wind Farm on the high plains in north-central Montana, a little ways west of Shelby.

A late running Empire Builder allowed us to get in position for this shot as No 8 approaches St Paul Union Depot, perhaps nicknamed SPUD? Not really sure but I did get a kick out of the initials.
The Empire Builder sits in Minot while the morning sun begins to cast it's warm glow on the frozen landscape.
With the train arriving into town 1hr early, it gave me ample time to wander farther from the train than normal during the servicing stop (and for that fuel truck to leave).

P40DC 806 and 805 led F40PH 324 and were all looking fantastic in old school paint.

A nine-hour late Empire Builder makes for an unusual evening photo of the the train crossing the Mississippi River lift bridge at Hastings. A bit later and there would not be enough light left for this photo to happen. Fun to wait around in the energy of a late summer Friday evening.
In the cavernous hull, with its wooden ribs and stringers, the Bugis boat builders are at work. They are renown throughout Indonesia for their skills, building the Makassar schooners that trade between the islands. The Bugis don’t use blueprints, they construct the vessels by eye.
