Built to last, a great example of British engineering - just a shame we don't build them like that anymore.
Conspiremus, actualmente Pirenostrum, es la feria de constructores de instrumentos musicales (luthiers) de Boltaña (Pirineos de Huesca) que inspiró el periodista musical de Radio 3, Iñaki Peña, dirigida en sus primeras ediciones, con gran acierto, por Enrique Pérez antiguo componente de la Ronda de Boltaña, y que se ha convertido en una fiesta difícil de describir. Más de cien voluntarios colaboran en la organización cuyo plato fuerte es la ubicación de medio centenar de artesanos en otros tantos patios particulares del casco antiguo, verdaderas joyas de la arquitectura tradicional: Casa el Tieso (un auténtico museo), Casa Talegueta, Casa Don Jorge (la más antigua de Boltaña), Casa Pólito, Casa Dueso, Casa Juan Latre, Casa Trallo...y así hasta más de cincuenta. 24-07-2004.

ULY 904 - This well presented Ex Pickfords 75 Ton heavy haulage tractor was photographed by me at the Cromford Steam Rally in August 2019.
Pickfords usually used Junior Constructors in pairs one pulling and the other pushing one of their girder frame heavy haulage trailers, a set-up that was very much dependant on the weight of the load.
El constructor de la Mezquita Azul, Mehmet Paşa empleó grandes cantidades de materiales, especialmente piedra y mármol, lo cual hizo que se agotasen las existencias para otras obras importantes. El trazado de la mezquita es irregular, ya que el arquitecto tuvo que adaptarse a las restricciones el emplazamiento. La fachada principal, que sirve de entrada al edificio, se encuentra frente al hipódromo. El arquitecto se basó en la Mezquita Sehzade (1543-1548) de Estambul, la primera obra a gran escala de Sinan. Cuenta con un sistema ascendente de cúpulas y semicúpulas, cada una de ellas apoyadas en tres exedras, que termina en una gran cúpula central, de 23,5 m de diámetro y 43 m de alto en el centro.

The Bionic Constructors Of Kyoöder by Daniel Arrhakis (2025)
With the music : Docking Bay 7 || Dark Space Dystopian Ambient Music by Dream Circuit
Kyoöder, a system of moons that orbits the giant planet Syghmata where an alien race originated that evolved into integrative forms with their own technology over generations.
Specialists in bionic beings and systems where the boundary between natural and artificial life has been definitively blurred, leading to the creation of intelligent hybrid systems and giant machines with a life of their own.

Out with Ectro testing out Dennis Calvert's circle machine style. Usually i can't do this, since i'm alone, but i convinced Ectro that we should try it out. The tunnel was so foggy from the temperature difference between the inside and outside that we had to use a air blower to keep the lens un-fogged each minute and a half or so. This was about the longest photo we could take at about a minute.
Looking through some dusty files I found a packet of 6x4.5 size colour slides. They were taken of a model railway which was built in 1987, it had a feature article in the last ever edition of "Model Railway Constructor" in June 1987. The layout was built by my friend John Cox, I scratch-built or modified kits for some of the buildings, provided rolling stock and did the photography and Don Gatehouse did a thorough job in researching and providing photographs of the location it was based on, Coombe Junction in Cornwall.
The basis for the layout was a small simple layout that anyone could build in a modern small house or flat it had 3 3ft x 1ft base boards.
We managed to cram in clay dries, Carradon Junction station and a very truncated branch to the seaside "Causland Beach" The layout was quite successful and John took it to a number of model railway shows, by today's standards it was unsophisticated but it was of it's time. I still have the locos and the single car but they have not been run since 1994 when I abruptly stopped any model railway involvement.
In this scene 25233 is on engineering duty as the mechanical signal box id demolished and the signals have the arms removed.

A 1962 built Scammell Super Constructor 6x6 heavy haulage tractor manufactured at Tolpits Lane, Watford, by Scammell Lorries Ltd. The Super Constructor was designed as a cross-country heavy prime mover with single unit towing rating of up to 200 tons. The first owner was the Vickers shipyard located in Barrow-in-Furness, England, moving massive submarine components and smaller seafaring vessels around the shipyard. When paired with its identical sister vehicle, the two Super Constructors were famously used in tandem to pull massive 300-ton loads on specialized 100-ton trailers.

HSU159 Scammell Constructor was operated by W. Bull and Son of Tideswell, Buxton.
I have been unable to find any information on the history of this vehicle, either before or after the date of the photograph. I assume it was originally a military vehicle and I also wondered why so many of these heavy recovery lorries had Scottish (Glasgow) registrations.
Legendary Norwegian boat constructor Johan Anker (1871 - 1940) posing in 1928 on board the new 12-Metre class boat Magda XI, which he had designed for businessman Alfred W.G. Larsen (the man on the right).
Both men were excellent sailors. Already in 1912 Larsen´s 12-Metre yacht Magda IX - designed by Anker - won the gold medal in the Stockholm Summer Olympics, with Anker as helmsman and Larsen among the crew. During his lifetime Larsen owned altogether thirteen 10-Metre, 12-Metre and 15-Metre boats, all of them named Magda, which was the name of his first wife.
In the early 1930s Larsen sold Magda XI (with sail number N -7) to the US, where she was renamed Cantitoe (sail number was US-7).
The only mention of her in the US I found in the New York Times August 7, 1933: "American Y.C. RUN IS LED BY CANTITOE, 12-Meter Yacht"
The International 12-Metre Association data page mentions that Cantitoe was "wrecked and buried", but does not give any date.

Portrait of commander (later rear admiral) George Henry Rock (1869 - 1946), who later became chief constructor of the United States Navy. My colorization of an image in the Library of Congress archive. The photo is not dated, but my estimate is ab. 1920.
George Rock graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Class of 1889. During World War 1 he served as Construction Officer of the Navy Yard, New York. For his "exceptionally meritorious service" he was awarded the Navy Cross. In 1929 - 1932 Rock was Chief of the U.S. Navy Bureau of Construction and Repair. After his retirement Rock served among other things as head of the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture. In 1933 he was elected president of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine engineers.

Another highlight to go with a few others last weekend was this little gem- E713FHG is a very tidy Preston, Lancashire registered 1987 Leyland Constructor 6 tanker that appears to still see some use with its Kent based owners.
