On April 9, 1915, Baldwin Locomotive Works completed serial number 42000, a 90 ton, 2-8-2 mikado locomotive (class 12-34-1/4-E-30) for the Caddo & Choctaw Railroad Company, subsidiary of Caddo River Lumber Company in Arkansas. Originally numbered 4 and named "R. L. Rowan," the engine served the logging industry until 1920 when it was converted to burn oil (instead of coal) and sent to Mexico. Upon arrival at the Compañía de Real del Monte y Pachuca, it was renumbered to 105. 105 operated northeast of Mexico City where silver mining was the main industry. In 1924, 105 was sold to the McCloud River Railroad, which would be home for nearly 30 years.
Upon arrival at McCloud, shop forces found bullet holes in the boiler jacket. The rumor formed that the engine served with Pancho Villa during the revolution, however the revolution was over before the engine arrived in the country. The story stuck, and earned the engine the nickname "Pancho." McCloud renumbered the engine to 19 and upgraded the engine over its time there to roughly its current appearance. The 19 was involved in a three-way tender swap before leaving McCloud, and it ended up with the tender from the 18. 19 still uses this tender today, identifiable by a plate with welded letters reading "T-18" affixed to the tender frame. The original tender was scrapped along with the 16.
The Yreka Western purchased 19 from McCloud in 1953 (and would later purchase the similar 18). The engines operated between Yreka and Montague where the road interchanged with Southern Pacific.
In 1971, Yreka Western owner Willis Kyle purchased 51% of the Oregon Pacific & Eastern in Cottage Grove, Oregon. 19 was leased from Yreka to the OP&E and in 1971 began operating the "Blue Goose" excursion trains over the line using a large variety of passenger equipment.
In 1972, "Emperor of the North" was filmed on the railroad, using a mix of OP&E equipment and some purchased specifically for the film. 19 carried the iconic "State of Oregon" herald on the tender, designed for appearance in the film, during this time and into as late as 1974. It was then repainted to use the "Blue Goose" logo used by other Kyle-owned roads.
19 continued to pull Blue Goose trains into the 1980s when Hollywood once again came to the line and parts of the coming-of-age classic "Stand By Me" were filmed. 19 appeared in the movie in the scene where Corey Feldman plays chicken with an oncoming train.
In 1987, 19 returned to Yreka and continued to pull Blue Goose trains on this line, and was occasionally used in freight service. 19 stayed in Yreka into the 21st century. It became the subject of several legal battles where some work performed on the engine was never paid for. Eventually, it was auctioned off in a sheriff sale where it was purchased by Jerry Jacobson.
19 is currently in the backshop at the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum undergoing its 15-year inspection work for return to operation.

I can't quite remember when exactly I began this model, but it came together digitally in late 2019, and I began ordering parts and assembling the locomotive in early 2020. It's taken a while to complete, mostly due to the refining of several details, not the least of which being the running gear and artwork. The details on this engine are particular, especially given my familiarity with the real one. I modeled 19 to accurately portray the engine as it appeared in Emperor of the North.
I'm using a Power Functions L motor driving custom wheels at a 1:1 ratio. It gives the engine a good speed but enough power to pull a realistic number of cars. I'm using a Power Functions I.R. receiver and a 7.4v 700mAh battery due to limited space. I'll write more about every detail on the model in accompanying photos of the model.
I say it every time, but this time, I really mean it: I'm incredibly happy to have the model complete. I should call it version one, as I'll undoubtedly build another copy of this model with new techniques in the future - I already have a few ideas. I've learned a lot between the time I started designing this and now, and I'd love to have more than one model of 19 anyway.
It may never be as big or technically impressive as some other models I've built, but 19 will always have something the others don't. It is, by far, my favorite steam locomotive. I'd write about why here, but I'm already putting a lot of words under this photo, so I'll invite viewers to see the next photo for why 19 is my favorite.

Feeder control panel Heidelberg 4 colour press. I had to name this shot Complete Control and I cant get The Clash song out of my head. uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FWb7a9QGVe8&feature=related
Took longer than expected to get it done. An Ileus sent me to hospital. Doctors suggested that I should rest a couple of weeks afterwards.
Out with the Photo Marauders, Enchanted Lens Camera Club… the historic south east side of the Manzano Mountains in Torrance County…
The three Salinas Pueblo ruins inspire awe, wonder and trigger reflection on the regional history and culture... This imposing sandstone and adobe Catholic Church (45 ft. (13.7 m) tall) at the Quarai Pueblo site was completed in 1629 and first abandoned in 1677. The history of this structure and the early Spanish presence and Native American Pueblos and people in this region in New Mexico is fascinating and worth study before you go.

“i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own
i want to be so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of
us combined
could set
it on fire”

Completing the Collinwood sequence, CSX K615 with the Grand Trunk heritage unit departs after refueling and changing crews. Meanwhile Q561 is making its set out in the foreground.
Filled this terranium on a better surface. A couple of months ago, I had two beautful glass jars, filled them with all sorts of lovlies and the top of the table tipped and sent the lot into a million glassy pieces on the floor. I was also in pieces and sobbed hysterically whilst my stoic husband cleaned the lot up!
My first complete Munny. They're so hard to paint especially if you're like me and have absolutely no artistic ability. I think he turned out really sloppy and lame. Poor little guy :(
I hope my next two turn out better.
Signalmen at work in Aberdeen South signal box shortly before its closure and demolition.
This was a rather austere wartime brick built box opened in 1942 and closed in mid 1981 as part of the Aberdeen resignalling scheme.
The Crewe-built BR(LMR) 4½” frame was a replacement for the original REC 150 lever frame and was unique to Aberdeen.
13th April 1981

Prepare to run.
I understand Trafalgar square in London has been cleared of pigeons. I urge the city to consult with them.
Great evening at The Complete Madness concert last night with Caroline in Ashford. This is keyboard player David.
'On Feb. 22nd 1968 Mike Walker and I completed a most successful day in Cheshire by visiting the MPD at Speke Junction. Mike uses his cine camera to record the spectacular departure of 9F no 92091 on a heavy mixed freight.'
An image from an album of prints by the Revd David Benson, a curate in Hull when he took most of his photographs. Nearly all from the late 1960s, he not only chased steam (plenty of such photographs from others), but didn't ignore the first generation diesels, of which there are some fantastic images. Also a good number of shots around Hull Docks. Loaded into the Flickr album 'A Curate's Collection' in reverse order, so when I've uploaded them all you can browse the album as it was compiled.
Now my girls have some place to go when they feel like sewing something up, and they have everything they need :)
I should have gotten the dress form in the pic, darnit.
Once switching has been completed, Union Pacific's LDI04 "Local 4" with a pair of SD40N's begin to shove back to their train on the siding at Greeley, Colorado after picking up some gondolas and a box car at a couple of industries on January 25, 2017.
