926 'Repton' arriving at Goathland with the 12.30 santa special from Grosmont on Sun 8th December 2019.
Note - The temporary 'Comet' nameplate affixed to the smoke deflector has been removed in photoshop.
A shot of 60103 before it became a 'Celebrity' engine ....seen here in the Leeman Road up loop, with an empty stock train in August 1959, looking a lot better than today without the German type smoke deflectors fitted in 1961.
The engine made its last advertised journey on the 1.20 pm King's Cross - Leeds working on 14th January 1963, before withdrawal from service and storage at Doncaster.

Redid the skirts to add more detail around the front end. Also managed to figure out the deflectors.

2-10-0 No. 56507 (with one bent deflector) built by Henschel in 1943 leaving Ortaklar with the 08.11 mixed from Denizli to Izmir Alsancak. 6 March 1977.
Same old, same old just missing a carrying handle. I was just kinda curious how it would look like.

This visit to China was made with Gordon and although we had both visited China before, this was our first fully independent trip. It was quite an eye opener in proving that you don't always need to travel with a group or a guide. The weather was also eye opening in that it was the coldest winter I've spent in China with early morning temperatures in the minus forties, something I certainly wasn't adequately prepared for. But an eye closer in another respect - with all but the eyes covered up, our breath would condense on our eyelashes meaning that after a few blinks, the upper and lower eyelashes would freeze together and we couldn't see! We ate like horses but I still lost weight.
The weather took its toll on my camera gear too. I was using two Mamiya 645s - one with slide film and the other black & white. The standard lens on the slide film camera soon developed a 'lazy iris', meaning it didn't shut down to the correct aperture when the shutter was fired. As there was no indication of this fault, I never set the lens to manual, which would have alleviated the problem. Given the snowy conditions this led to gross overexposure of over half of the slides, and led to a personal meltdown when I got the results back home! This in mind, I was and still am so relieved that this photo didn't suffer that fate. We had planned to return here the following winter but got news during that visit that it had gone diesel a couple of weeks earlier, so we went elsewhere.
The view from this hill has changed somewhat since 2001 as a dual carriageway has been constructed which crosses the river in front of the railway bridge. The railway has changed too. No longer a branch line, it has been extended and is now an important through line to the North East.

Just for laughs, I also rendered one in VR Canadian Red, minus smoke deflectors. Not sure if this combo of cylinders and livery ever occured.
Sharing a shed for the weekend, Gresley A3 No. 60103 ‘Flying Scotsman’ is seen on the apron alongside BR Standard Class 7MT No . 70000 ‘Britannia’, visiting the railway courtesy of LSL.
Both were gracing the Nene Valley Railway’s metals for their ‘Best of British’ series of events.

Stagecoach 18404 (KX06 JYF) descends Horseshoe Street, Northampton, presumably returning to the depot to have that tree deflector attended to!!
When looking at North American Aviation XB-70A (A/V-1) inflight photos…those taken either just before touchdown or just after takeoff - I, like you - have difficulty ascertaining of which it is. Unfortunately, at least 75% of such photos have no useful associated description…either because they didn’t know, or I guess, care. Neither reason, or whatever the reason, is acceptable…these were/are some of the most dramatic & awe-inspiring images of this jaw-dropping beast.
Disappointingly, it is what it is.
However, for a brief moment, I thought I’d “figured it out”. From the caption associated with a similarly pitched XB-70 on approach (at just a slightly higher altitude), in the September 28, 1964 issue of AW&ST, was the following:
“Note canard flaps behind cockpit deflected downward.”
“A-HA” I thought…downward deflected canard flaps = landing! Exclusively, I foolishly thought. WRONG. There are photos identified as the XB-70 taking off…with those flaps deflected downward. UGH.
I don’t know jack about lift & drag, but deflecting them downward for landing made sense…as you’d want to slightly increase drag in order to bring the nose down. Right? Maybe, you also want some drag during takeoff, to prevent the nose from pitching up too far/fast, like when those hydroplanes catch too much air. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So, my above pointless bullshit aside, I’m going with this being a takeoff.
Finally, check out that crazy(?), daring & lucky SOB photographing…whatever is that’s happening here! I think he’s filming with a motion picture camera. If so, whatever the hell happened to the I’m sure spectacular footage he captured. And finally, based on the appearance of the “no. 7” runway marker, I think this is Edwards Air Force Base.
I’d never seen this rare & spectacular image before. The ‘chewed-up’ portion of the white border on the right does not detract nor encroach on the image, which is still of superior gloss.

Small Heath butterflies never bask with their wings open and when they are active they always have their forewings raised revealing a conspicuous black eyespot set in orange. This is a deflecting eyespot that will direct the first strike of any predator away from the vulnerable body of the butterfly. But when they are truly at rest, for example when the temperature drops, that eyespot would be a liability. This is because a predator may direct its first strike at the eye, but if the butterfly was too cold and torpid to escape, the predator would keep on pecking until it found the tasty bit.
Because Small Heaths are usually on high alert, they are often skittish, and fly off if you try to approach them. So getting a shot like this required stealth. He's perched among heather on the moors of the Peak District in South Yorkshire. This species has declined massively in Britain but seemingly the declines have been less severe in the uplands.
DDC-Beware
Certain breeds of dogs have to beware of the UV rays at high altitudes. Border Collies are one of those breeds. Shizandra had Pannus, a disease that was caused by the sun's rays. But, with diligent medications and Doggles we have managed to get rid of it...yay!!! She is still on her meds and still has to wear her doggles as long as we live here.
We have it the way we want it now with tinted windows, wind deflectors (on both the sunroof & windows), and some other touches, like a few cat stickers. Definitely not having buyer’s remorse with this car!
Track ballast made of crashed stone forms the trackbed upon which railroad sleepers are laid. This machine distributes the crashed stone (future track ballast) to form perfect track profile. The bunker in this picture can be filled with the ballast.
New railway track ballast distributing and profiling machine RPB-01 are being built by the Kaluga Track Machines and Hydraulic Drives Plant (part of the Sinara Group) in Russia. The bogie suspension system of the RPB-01 is consisted of primary wheelset Chevron type suspension by the rubber spring; the support of the carbody and guidance traction by the bogie is realised by the flexicoil type secondary suspension throught the coil springs which can be deflected into vertical and horizontal directions according to flexicoil principle. Also hydraulic dampers are instaled.

Her smoke deflectors were painted blue during her service days in Kimberley. Peacock blue was the house colour for the Northern Cape region.
I have removed a tree that was sticking out of the right deflector.

The Indian standard metre gauge 2-8-2 YGs looked quite different without their smoke deflectors.
Western Railway YG 3451, built by TATA in 1963 is seen arriving at Ajmer on 7 December 1978. Even with over 1000 still in use at the time, a lot of freight on the metre gauge was already in the hands of diesels.
V700_4_991
Its getting closer! New tender, new cab, new smoke deflectors, and more. Its now powered with a 9V bogie in the tender--soon to be converted to DCC (hopefully!)
Still lots to do, but I'm looking forward to applying the decals when she's finished.
Might be the best looking Scania I've seen... low line roof, air deflectors removed, Middle East ladders and roof rack, tag axle. Neat skelly trailer too with those blue and white painted rims. Old school and not overdone.
Explore #305, 3/3/08.
Captured during search dog training this morning
at UCSD (University of California, San Diego).
I don't know what kind of bush this is, but it was a bear to capture, due to the wind,
even though it was gentle. It was in bright sun, so I used the diffuser from
my 5-in-1 deflector kit.

So I spent a couple of days off and on trying to improve what I just did to the deflector trench. The curvature of the sidewalls transitioning from a flat area in front of the dish to a curved area behind the yacht is rather complex.
In my case it was too flat behind the yacht and the sidewalls were curved the wrong way, at least from what I could see in the CGI images. They needed to be concave not convex.
So I carved and sanded away most of what I had done until the sidewalls were angled but flat then added strip styrene around the rim with a slight overhang to putty up to using AVES. I'm happy now.
(Retina IIIc, Delta 100, TMax dev)
Rather than using a modern liight meter I shot this roll using only the Retina IIIc's built-in ancient selenium cell meter and surprisingly it's accurate. Usually the needle deflects in response to light but the readings are far off or random.
A very clean 19D with small smoke deflectors for cosmetic purposes only heads the daily passenger to Maclear up the long climb out of Indwe, July 1981.
In its day this mask was clean, white, and strong enough to deflect some significant blows.

A3 60047 Donovan just prior to conversion to double chimney.. Oddly 60047 I don't think was fitted with Smoke Deflectors.. (July 1959)
In the 19th Century Clifford’s Inn Passage (off Fleet Street) afforded a dark and secluded area for a gentleman to relieve himself having drunk copious amounts of ale in the neighbouring taverns. The owners of the buildings did not like their walls washed with urine so they erected deflector shields which would guide the urine to the gutter or worse cause the liquid to be splashed back on to the urinator and thus deter him from activity.
In 1923 nearly 2,500 Austin sevens were made during its first year of production. By 1939 when production finally ended, 290,000 cars and vans had been manufactured. This one, which has come to an untimely halt in the middle of Quay Street, Ardglass, Northern Ireland, straddling the railway line between boat quay and passenger station, must be a late example, as it has war time light deflectors attached to its head lamps, so this photograph recreates a possible scenario between 1939 and1945

Britannia Pacifics at Willesden - 25/04/1964.
70029 "Shooting Star" - a former Western Region locomotive (evidenced by the replacement of the main smoke-deflector handrails with hand grabs) 70029 is carrying a crudely painted 2J (Aston) shedcode. It would move on to Carlisle (alternating between Kingmoor and Upperby) and was finally withdrawn from Kingmoor shed on 21st October 1967. Scrapping is believed to have taken place towards the end of February 1968 by J McWilliams of Shettleston, Glasgow.
I've not been able to identify the working (1Z25) which brought the locomotive to London, but there was a England schoolboy international at Wembley on that date, so an associated Footex special may be the answer.

While poking around in the depot at Chemnitz-Hilbersdorf, all manner of shades and shapes presented themselves, namely the deflectors of the classes 50 and 52.

A specially modified MP5 for security teams in the early 70s. HK provided the stock MP5s, while a third party would modify them accordingly. Modifications are as follows: 20 round box magazine, stock delete and sling mount added, auto-safe ambidextrous fire selector, shortened barrel and cocking tube, custom handguard, brass deflector, threaded muzzle, low profile sights.
Sold at a fairly high price, this weapon is seldom seem outside the hands of guards of very influential or affluent individuals, or occasionally the well-to-do mobster.
