I had missed this locomotive twice on a Saturday on my local patch recently, so I didn't expect to see her any time in the near future. Therefore, I couldn't quite believe my luck, when I saw the "Freightliner Bee" coming towards me! I had absolutely no idea she was on this train, so what a fantastic surprise it was to capture this beauty on camera totally out of the blue.

Here's a real oldie as far as my railway photographs go. The 44 class 15's were built by British Thompson Houston from 1957 but didn't prove particularly successful so the class was withdrawn between 1968 and 1971. Four examples soldiered on as carriage heating units and one of them, ADB968001 (formerly D8233) is seen here in my 1978 photograph taken at colchester.
D8233 is now the only survivor and is currently located at Bury Bolton Street on the East Lancs Railway where it is undergoing an extensive overhaul.
Reeds bijna een jaar geleden begon ik aan mijn tripje naar Japan, die ruim drie weken zou duren. In de eerste week hiervan stonden enkele dagen in Osaka en Kyoto op het programma, en zodoende arriveerde ik op 18 mei per trein in wellicht Japans historisch gezien meest significante stad. Kyoto (京都 in het Japans) betekent letterlijk "hoofdstad", iets wat het maar liefst meer dan 1100 jaar is geweest, totdat de keizer en daarmee deze functie verplaatste naar Tokyo.
Als kort intermezzo voor uitleg over het spoorwegmuseum in Kyoto en het locomotieftype class 62, de volgende anekdote:
Het station van Kyoto staat bekend om zijn imposante architectuur maar ook niet minder om de vele mogelijkheden het station te verlaten. Dit maakt het voor mensen die onbekend zijn met de layout van het station lastig om de juiste uitgang te vinden, en zo eindig je vooral aan de zuidkant al snel bij een uitgang teveel naar het oosten of het westen van waar je eigenlijk wil zijn. Of in mijn geval: de toegangstunnel naar de shinkansen-sporen. Zoekend naar bordjes met "Exit" erop eindigde ik al snel vlak na de trap de tunnel in bij een aanzienlijke menigte die zich langs een met lintjes afgezet looppad had verzameld. Helaas, het zou dus nog even duren voordat ik daar verder kon! Maar uiteraard bleef ik even wachten wat er nou eigenlijk aan zat te komen. Aan een lange vrolijk geklede tevens westerse man vroeg ik in het Engels of hij wist wat er aan de hand was. "I think some royal person is supposed to arrive any minute here." Oke, interessant. Na een kort gesprek met deze aardige man viel aan het accent al snel op dat hij wel eens Nederlands kon zijn, en hij was mij sneller af om me dat te vragen dan andersom! Hoe groot is die kans nou...
Na niet al te lang wachten viel het op dat de menigte verderop in de tunnel ineens enthousiast met vlaggetjes begonnen te zwaaien. Zou er dan zo'n bekend persoon langs komen? Het duurde vervolgens niet veel langer voordat ik met stomheid geslagen werd: langzaam lopend en vriendelijk zwaaiend kwam zowaar de voormalige keizer van Japan om de hoek...!
Dit leuke voorval zal me altijd bij blijven staan; als ik boven het station door was gelopen en niet de shinkansen-tunnel in was gelopen had ik dit hele voorval gemist en misschien wel nooit geweten dat de voormalig keizer van Japan die dag Kyoto met een bezoek had vereerd...
Afijn, terug naar de foto.
De 19e van mei was een bijzonder druilerige dag in Kyoto. Gelukkig bulkt de stad van de musea en zodoende besloot ik het in 2016 geopende spoorwegmuseum te bezoeken. Deze bestemming stond onder voorwaarde als het goed uit zou komen dit een bezoekje waard was toch al op mijn lijstje.
Het museum is een bezit van een imposante hoeveelheid locomotieven, met name stoomlocs. Een viertal van deze locs is daadwerkelijk inzetbaar, en de Class 62 nummer 62-2 werd op die dag ingezet met het pendeltreintje dat dagelijks heen en weer rijdt over een kort stukje spoor achter het museum.
De JNR Class 62 is een bouwserie die is voortgevloeid uit het hergebruiken van de ketels van de Class D52 locs en werden in 1948-1949 (om)gebouwd door Hitachi. Al met al is het een onderhand iconische trein geworden in Japan, mede dankzij de destijds relatief populaire manga-reeks Galaxy Express 999. Het museum in Kyoto bezit maar liefst drie van de vijf bewaarde exemplaren van deze serie.
Op de foto zien we de fraaie 62-2 met haar setje rijtuigen duwend vertrekken voor de zoveelste pendelrit. De regen plensde neer bij het maken van de foto maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken toch nog een loc onder stoom te hebben gezien in Japan!

When I left Ryan Fleagle, he was still putting coats of white paint over vinyl stencils after dark. I figured he'd return in the morning to remove the stencils and do the last of the touch up work. I started receiving text messages just after sunrise the next day filled with glee: the car's painting was done. When full sun illuminated the fresh paint there were a lot of smiles from the team of volunteers that made this happen. Everyone was thrilled with the job Fleagle's Painting had done taking the old 857B boxcar back to it's 1975 appearance.
Meanwhile the rest of the work continued forward. The inside of the car had already been framed and the sub floor installed. Now that the paint was done it was time to install the wiring and drywall so the museum planning could move forward. Brock Kerchner took the original KarTrak ACI (Automatic Car Identification) tags off PC 184301 and had them faithfully replicated in vinyl; they had to wait to be installed until the paint had fully cured.

My roommate turned 21 recently and so him and his boys decided to suit up and spend a night on the town looking classy.

Here is my version of the GWR Class 1366. I did previously tease this with the pannier photo. I wanted larger tanks on the main pannier to have the 1366 tanks to be smaller, to more appropriate size. I am unhappy with the valve gear and rods, also this just seems so bare and missing something. I just can't put my finger on it.
