After completing an afternoon excursion with a mixed train, the Strasburg Rail Road's trusty Canadian National 2-6-0 #89 passes by the J-Tower at the west end of the line, adjacent to the boarding platform. J-Tower is a relic of the once mighty Pennsylvania Railroad. It was built in 1885 as one of many interlocking towers, this particular one located at Lemoyne Junction, not far from Harrisburg PA. Towers like this one contained large, mechanical levers that controlled both switches and signals, which facilitated operations at the junction. In later years, this tower was simply called "LEMO", presumably short for Lemoyne. The tower was still functioning into the early 1980s, when it was retired. It was moved to the Strasburg Rail Road and reconstructed by the Lancaster Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. Today, the old "Armstrong" levers have been reconstructed in the tower and visitors can tour the cab to see how the switches and signals were controlled back in the day. This tower also offers a nice view of train operations.
the toile, the test garment, is completed. it's all only tacked, not machined, apart from the neckline because i wanted to practise understitching the neck collar. i've done another fitting. no adjustments to the toile needed
i was going to take it apart and reassemble for extra practise but with the neck machined it would mean cutting out another toile so i'll leave it at that.
fabric for the actual dress green linen 2 metres @ £7 a metre
toile calico 2 metres @ £3 per metre
width for both linen and calico 1m 50cm

RD21520C. Great Western Steam Railmotor No. 93 at the Didcot Railway Centre.
This unique vehicle was originally built in 1908, but converted to an unpowered auto-trailer in 1935. The Great Western Society have therefore had to have a new boiler and power bogie manufactured as well as re-building the rest of the vehicle.
Although a major undertaking, this was successfully completed in 2013 and the result is a credit to all those involved in its return to steam.
I also took some video starring the amazing Steam Railmotor while I was at Didcot and this is now on YouTube. To make viewing easier, I have broken it down into three bite-sized chunks and here are the links:

These are the sachets I made for my Aunt for Mother's Day--which btw, I thought was today.....LOL. Better to be early.....
Building work is complete at the new hospital. Rich congratulates Cameron on a job well done while a couple of the builders enjoy one last look at the view from the helipad
I have now completed the before and after vets houses. Looks like double digit temperatures for the weekend with plenty of sun. Great for a photo shoot.
The finished article, more colour and detail added a small amount of shading here and there. I love this view from the 199 steps to the Abbey, it has been photographed and painted so many times, because it is simply a wonderful place to be!

The bus looks fantastic carrying its big LRT lothians, this is as I remember them and I am so happy with the way the bus has came out. Myself and Graham along with my father Brian have spent 15 years worth of Sundays grafting to get the bus restored. God only knows how many hours we have spent on the bus, but the £ spent would make a grown man cry... but seeing the bus today complete and driving makes every penny spent worth it. Going forward I have a range of smaller jobs to do on the bus and we will work into 2021 getting it ready for presentation to an MOT station then we can see about have a bit of fun driving her about Edinburgh again.
With 40145 at the head of the CFPS Charter , the 1Z49 Castleton Hepwood - Stratford Upon Avon , 57315 is very much the support act for the day as the formation passes Kilnhurst.

A Furphy water cart on my brother's farm in south western NSW.
These carts are quite well known in rural Australia and were designed and manufactured by blacksmith John Furphy in Shepparton, Victoria in the late 19th century until 1983. They were used on many farms early in that period and also used by Australian troops in World War I.
This one was used by my family for bush and grass fires and now sits in "retirement" on the farm.
There is an Australian slang expression "furphy" which means an erroneous or improbable story and is rumoured to have derived from people gathering and talking around the water cart back in the day but this story too may well be a furphy!
More on its meaning and supposed origin here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furphy
Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
Recently I updated from Nexus 6P that I bought 5 years ago to iPhone 12 Pro Max. A good thing, as the phone died as I tried to reset it to the original condition. Deep from the recess of the phone, images that I took emerged on my new phone. I will try to process them. I am not sure if all photos are mine. I assume that all photos taken by Nexus 6P are mine, as i do not know anybody who has or had this phone. Mostly, I do not know where I TOOK THE PHOTOS, EVEN THOUGH I DO HAVE A DATE, LONGITUDE AND LATIUTUDE.
This is a collage of 2 images, and one appears twice ;-)
This one took a while! I'm not sure I want to do any more large-scale Stackrylics again.
It measure 22", and is made from layers laser-cut from 1/8" acrylic sheet.
It took about 6 hour to glue - 6 fume-filled hallucination-inducing hours.
THIS IS NOT FOR SALE
Say hello to Amelia. I imagine that she's totally jaunty and likes to dance into the wee hours of the morning.
I'm not so great with the stem stitch yet, so I gotta keep trying!
