Brownell was an architect based in Corona Del Mar, just up the road in Orange County. These sixteen homes demonstrate an ingenious solution to a series of narrow, sloping lots with views on one side. The solution was to build them as row homes, and push them as far up the hill as possible to maximize the views. More information can be found here
I initially wanted to have a few small cars that would fit into an autorack, similar to the Vert-A-Pac. The train car didn't work out, but the regular cars did. I will now use them for my LUG's city layout.
What a moment!

One of my very early photographic efforts taken with a Hanimex Compact non SLR camera of dubious quality and using black and white film sees Tinsley allocated 25019 drifting along the Up Goods approaching Derby station with a special class 8 freight (8Z60) sometime in 1974.
Locomotive History
25019 is one of a batch of twenty five locomotives of sub class 25/0 which were a transition between the 75mph, 1160hp Class 24 and the 90mph, 1250hp Class 25/1. These twenty five locomotives received the up-rated 6LDA28B Sulzer engine giving 1250hp but were fitted with the same traction motors as the Class 24. All twenty five locomotives were built at Darlington Works and 25019 entered traffic as D5169 in December 1961 and like the rest of the sub class was allocated to Thornaby MPD. This sub class were not boiler equipped so would live out there careers mostly on freight duties. It would spend the next five years in the North East with a short spell at Gateshead in 1967 before transfer to Holbeck in December 1967. After a brief return to the North East (Gateshead) in April 1972 it transferred to Tinsley three months later. Its next move was to Scotland in February 1976 with a transfer to Eastfield and its final transfer was to Haymarket in January 1980. The first Class 25/) withdrawals (25016/17/20/22/24) took place in January 1976 when they were due for classified repair and they were the first non accident damaged class 25’s condemned. Withdrawals of the Class 25/0 locomotives continued over the next couple of years with a further six being withdrawn, however before they were complete non accident damaged withdrawals commenced on the Class 25/1 locomotives in August 1977. This proved to be a reprieve for the remaining Class 25/0 locomotives as the next fourteen withdrawals came from the Class 25/1 or 25/2 fleets until 25008 was withdrawn in June 1980, almost a three years gap in Class 25/0 withdrawals. Once Class 25/0 withdrawals had recommenced the remaining Class 25/0 locomotives were quickly withdrawn with 25019 being withdrawn three months later in September 1980. After withdrawal 25019 was moved to Swindon Works during October 1980 and was broken up during January 1981.

It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE

ODC Jan 22, 2023; 'ACT' or 'ACK' WORDS. A compact camera on compact tripod. The Rollei 35 is the most compact camera I own; it's quirky and it takes a bit to get used to zone focusing, but it's the easiest camera for me to carry on rides because it fits wonderfully in the pockets of my cycling jersey. I included my reading glasses and film containers as a reference for size comparison. All in all, a pretty awesome camera with a f/2.8 Sonnar lens!
Bought a used TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 online. Condition was described as "excellent" and they were right on, couldn't even tell it was used. I read that the TTArtisan lens was just as good as a Summilux for 10 times less. I'll try shooting with this for a while to see how much I like it, so far, so good. Summilux is on my dream list to own someday though.

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.

Not many if any places to see a pair of SD35's running now days in the US, here GLC 383 and 384 work the interchange with the Ann Arbor RR at Osmer siding just north of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nice compact packages these SD35's seen from above, if only EMD had cataloged an SD30, that would have been a pretty swell looking unit - August 23, 2024.

The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.

The Foxtrot fighter is a modified GARC viper. She's equipped with 2 short-range ballistic guns and 4 low-frequency phase cannons for shield dampening. Though she's low on firepower, she makes up for it with sheer speed. All this coupled with the ability to compact into a small cargo bay makes her a bounty hunter's best friend.
This has got to be my absolute favorite out of all the fighters I have built for the 14x14x6 starfighter challenge because it's just so fun to convert, and it's pretty dang swooshable too.
Compact is a neat little studs up font. Basic, but gets the job done. Perfect for signing mosaics.

What might look like an abstract artwork is actually a novel antenna, small enough for a minisatellite, to track global ship traffic from orbit.
Commercial vessels are mandated to transmit Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals, which are used to track maritime traffic – the oceangoing equivalent of air traffic control. The system relies on VHF radio signals with a horizontal range of just 40 nautical miles (74 km), useful within coastal zones and on a ship-to-ship basis, but leaving open ocean traffic largely uncovered.
However, in 2010 ESA fitted an experimental antenna to Europe’s Columbus module of the International Space Station, demonstrating for the first time that AIS signals could also be detected from up in orbit, opening up the prospect of global ship tracking from space.
“Based on our testing, this new prototype designs offers a four-fold increase in ship detection performance,” explains ESA antenna specialist Nelson Fonseca, overseeing the project.
“The AIS detection system on Columbus employs a low-gain ‘whip’ antenna, receiving signals within a very broad beam, with corresponding potential for signal overlap and interference.
“This antenna design combines higher-gain with a more reduced footprint, allowing more of a focus on regions of highest interest, and can also discriminate between polarisations, increasing the likelihood of detection for any individual AIS signal within the antenna field of view.”
In addition, clever engineering has shrunk the overall antenna size to a size where up to five could be hosted on a single cubic-metre minisatellite.
“Despite its name, VHF is quite a low wavelength in space terms, implying a bulky antenna of about 1 m across and half-a-metre thick to operate ideally at that frequency,” Nelson adds.
“But the patterned square-shaped structure on the underlying face of our antenna changes the signal behaviour, enabling us to shrink the design to 50 cm width and 3 cm thickness – making it suitable for hosting on a smaller platform.”
The antenna was developed through ESA’s ARTES Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems – Advanced Technology programme with Italian companies CGS as prime contractor and MVG as subcontractor in charge of the electrical design.
“CGS and MVG are highly interested in moving forward with the optimisation and environmental qualification of this outstanding antenna element,” explains Andrea Di Cintio, managing the project at CGS. “The next step will be to identify a specific mission and then optimise the design and qualification accordingly.”
“Significant reduction of antenna dimensions and weight without compromising electrical performance was challenging,” adds Andrea Giacomini, lead antenna designer at MVG. “It required a radical change in the design and validation approach. We are proud to have been involved.”

I believe this is the first toy photo I've posted to Flickr that was lit by my camera's flash. I typically use lamps, flashlights, LEDs, etc.
This image is straight out of the camera: no tweaking, no color processing, no cropping, no nothing.
