Cape Buffalo (male). Known as Black Death, the Cape Buffalo is one of the most dangerous creatures in Africa. They lie in the water holes and mud bogs to keep cool and to coat the skin with mud to deflect the heat and biting insects.
The locomotive built to lead a nation at war.
A build long in the making...for well over a year and spanning many life changes that attempted to derail this project, Union Pacific #844 finally emerges from my workshop.
UP #844 has captured my imagination since childhood, appearing in several mini-series, TV shows and ads from the early 1990’s. With a sleek body, brutish flat face, high stepping drivers and enormous smoke deflectors, it embodies every definition of monstrous speed and power.
Manufactured by the American Locomotive Company and delivered to UP in 1944 to accommodate both wartime traffic and the projected increase in passenger service after the war, #835-844 were built upon the nearly perfected FEF-1 and FEF-2 series of locomotives delivered between 1937-1939. The entire FEF-3 series proved to be a masterpiece of design and was continuously called upon to lead top priority freight and passenger service.
#844 was delivered on a cold December day in 1944 as the final steam locomotive ever received by UP. Truly an unsleeping giant, #844 is the only steam locomotive of any American Class 1 railroad that has never been struck from the roster. Throughout her revenue career, she headed express freight, fast mail, and the most prestigious passenger trains of the central high plains and mountainous west – The Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited, Portland Rose, and Pony Express.
Fitted with 80-inch drivers and a 300 psi operating boiler pressure, #844 generates 63,800 lbs of tractive effort. She was designed to comfortably haul a 1,000-ton train at 100 mph and would regularly run at 120 mph.
Significant research was put into this model. Before even laying out the frame I had compiled an 80-year timeline documenting every minor, and major, upgrade, repainting, and alteration. I had one specific goal in mind: to capture her high-speed passenger service essence. As such, I have modeled her exactly as she would have appeared in April of 1949 – oil burning, with a Sellers exhaust steam injector and painted in the famous two-tone gray of Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Gray. I am proud to say that this is one of the most accurate representations of a two-tone gray FEF-3 in the modeling world.
This model is 8-wide and precisely 1:48 scale. #844 represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam and I want this model to represent nothing less. It is powered by two L power function motors in a 1:1 gear ratio so that she has both high tractive effort and can travel at high speed. The tender is fitted with a power functions control switch and two V2 IR receivers, one dedicated to each motor, powered by a 20c 7.4V Turnigy battery.
I design all my models with usability in mind. That being said, due to the #844’s unavoidable long legs, the locomotive can technically snake its way through R56 curves but is much happier with R120. I will pride myself in saying that the tender can navigate R40 due to my engineering of a unique design to conquer the flexibility challenges that plagues centipede tenders.
Custom wheels and drivers were sourced from Brick Train Depot and Breckland Bricks while the Walschaerts valve gear is from Trained Bricks. I want to particularly thank Monty’s Trains who designed and printed all stickers you see on this model. Monty also provided the technical experience that allowed me to upgrade from a standard Lego battery pack to the vastly superior LiPo world.
I strive to make my models both detailed and accessible. As such, instructions ARE available for this model in both two-tone gray and black (accurately dated to July 1954). Additionally, both liveries come with simple and complex valve gear instructions.
Today known as The Living Legend, UP #844 is the last of a great breed and represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam as one of the most powerful, prestigious and well-engineered Northern type locomotives of all time.
I feel extremely grateful to the Union Pacific Steam Team for ensuring that, through unquantifiable amounts of continuous labor, #844’s clock is not approaching twilight, but held at dawn. She is poised to travel the high iron for time eternal, forever roaring across the heartland plains and into the rising sun.
Thank you everyone for taking time to read this post, I greatly appreciate your questions, comments and praise. This model represents the end of a personal era, and I appreciate all the encouragement and support that I received from the community along the way. Railroading and Lego modeling are my passions, and I am happy to be part of these growing communities.

SOUTH WALL—Narcissus In Flagrante
Detail of the right panel of the diptych.
Has the cautionary significance of
Narcissus been distorted, perverted,
feminized to deflect the true reflection
of masculine duplicity?… Or is it to
warn of the dangers that lie beneath the
surface of self...
What is often viewed as the heterodoxy of the artist extends itself into his interpretation of the Narcissus myth. Whereas Narcissus is generally viewed as young, beautiful and sveldt, he is here portrayed in his full maturity, as a firm but massive torso, the indications of having experienced certain of the vicissitudes of life apparent. Yet, as he looks at himself in the surface of the pond before him and is again aroused by it.
STUDIO SECTION 2009-2012—DOROTHY LAUGHING was completed during the artist's seventy-ninth year. It is a work that requires an exhibition space forty feet by forty feet for optimal viewing. Altogether there are nineteen 8’ x 4’ articulated wood panels and seven free-standing sculptures. The extensive writing that appears on the articulated wood panels is transcribed in its entirety beneath the photographs of the panel on which written.
TERMINUS: Studio Section 1981-1983 was the first of the studio sections created by Robert Cremean. About the second, he wrote: “With TERMINUS II: Studio Section 1985-1990 began a flow of work receptive to everything I am, enfolding me in Process.” No longer did he make individual pieces, a collection of which would then be exhibited for sale in a gallery. He chose thereafter to continue the precedent established with the filling of his studio with work that was all of a piece, a studio section. It was the utilizing the entire space of the studio for the creating of whatever he wished, to experiment, to use panels mounted to the walls almost as canvases. He wrote: “I began to use the Wall as a separate voice in the work, setting it back rather like a Greek chorus for witness and commentary on the action within the sculpture which fronts it: cast shadows, interconnections of line, color, content, etc.” The “walls” became spaces whereon he recorded his thoughts, wrote essays, made images in bas-relief and in three dimension. Combined with three dimensional sculptures placed in front of these wall panels and within the center space bounded by the four walls of the studio, these large bodies of work, named studio sections, continued to be created even with the change of studios. There are the familiar four actual walls; the endless experimentation continues. With the exception of only one, its parts dispersed by a collector, all of the studio sections to the present are housed in the permanent collections of various museums.
The creation of studio sections rather than individual pieces came about during the early 1980s and was the result of the artist vowing, after many very successful one-person gallery shows, never again to place his work in a commercial gallery. All of his work presently is either in private or public collections.

RFID Readers And Blockers
RFID readers or Radio frequency identification readers in full are a marvel of the 21st century. They have made so many aspects of our daily lives easier, more convenient and smarter. If you have come across an RFID reader, you are probably asking how do they work? Well, with some little bit of physics knowledge and a little braid power, I will give you an answer to your question and satisfy your curiosity.
Understanding RFID Readers
To better understand RFID readers, let’s first take a look into the technology itself. RFID uses radio waves to detect RFID tags or microchips that are often embedded in the target item. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic waves along the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the longest wavelengths compared to other waves in the spectrum. Their wavelengths can reach 1km and thus very useful for transmitting signals over long distances. They will often be used to transmit signals for broadcasting stations, radar, satellites and mobile radio communication. They also have minimal or no effect to human beings and are therefore safe.
How do they work? RFID readers continually send a radio signal to detect any RFID tag that may be present. If a tag is within the range of the reader, then the tag send back a signal that is picked up by the reader. You could picture this occurrence as a mirror reflecting light. If you switch on a flashlight and a mirror is placed on the path of the beam of light, it will reflect the light beam back to the flashlight. This obviously depends on the angle of the mirror, but the important thing here, is the fact that the light beam is reflected. An important thing to note here is the fact that unlike bar codes, RFID readers send a signal within a given area. If a tag is within the area, it will reflect a signal back to the reader. Bar code readers on the other hand require the bar code to be in line with the incoming beam of light from the reader. Due to the wide area covered by the reader, it is possible to tract multiple objects at the same time as long as they fall within the given area and range.
As you have probably realized by now, the RFID technology requires two major items. A reader and a tag. RFID tags a small chips that to most people, make things smart. They make it possible to get information about an object without getting into contact with it. The RFID tag may look something similar to the chip on your credit card or sim card. They are classified into three. Passive tags. These tags do not have their own energy source. They therefore rely on energy from the incoming radio wave in order to power themselves and give back a signal to be picked up by the receiver. Semi-passive tags. These do have their own power source. These power is primarily used to power the tag and its micro CPU. The power from the radio receiver is however used to power the output from the tag that is picked up by the receiver. Active Tag. They have their own power supply that is also used to transmit a signal to the receiver. They also have a wider range compared to the other two tag variants. The tags could be embedded in a credit card, a label or even a key chain. This enables use of the tags in almost any item you can think of. This is perhaps the main reason why they are widely used in shopping malls, with door fixed RFID receivers placed at the exits of the different shops.

The RFID tag has several basic components: The transponder, the rectifier circuit, the controller and finally memory. The transponder receives the radio signal from the detector and also sends the signal back to the detector. The rectifier circuit, often found in a passive tag, stores energy for use in the controller and subsequently the memory. Most RFID tags have every little memory storage that is often less than 200kb.
Now let take an in depth look into the RFID readers themselves. RFID readers have three basic components; the Microcontroller, the RF signal generator and the receiver also known as the signal detector. As we mentioned earlier, the RFID radio receiver sends radio waved that are detected by a tag. The RF signal generator creates this radio wave and emits it through an antenna. Conversely the receiver receives the signal from the tag.
Once the tag sends back the radio signal, the receiver’s antenna picks up the signal and sends it to the microprocessor for interpretation and processing of the signal received. In other instances, the device may be connected directly to a computer which then acts as the microprocessor. As mentioned earlier. Radio waves are within the electromagnetic spectrum, which is basically and arrangement of different waves, according to their frequency and wavelengths.
The frequencies of most RFID systems may either be low frequency, high frequency and ultra-high frequency. Low frequencies operate between 125 and 134 kHz, they also travel shorter distances, and with a range of up to 10 cm. High frequency is at 13.56 kHz. At this frequency, the wave can travel up to a range of 1m. Ultra-high frequency on the other hand, operate between 860 and 960 kHz. They have a range of up to 10m. The frequencies used depend on the specific country or customer requirements.
How do RFID blockers work?With the knowledge on how RFID technology works there are people who are have raised concerns. There are concerns that the technology presents a security and privacy risk, especially when used on credit cards. Companies have created products that protect tags from the technology and here is a how it works.
How Do RFID Blockers Work?
RFID Blocking Wallet
How do RFID blockers work? RFID blockers work by reducing or deflecting the power of the signal
emitted by the tag. The received radio signal powers the chip and if the outgoing signal from the chip can be reduced, then the reception of the signal by the receiver will have been prevented.
With this wonderful new technology being used to supply information quicker and faster in forms of say credit cards this is giving crooks an easier foot hold in getting a hold of your personal information instead of “picking your pocket.” With the new technology crooks are able to just casually pass by you on the street and with a small scanning device and scan your pocket with you having no possible idea that your information was just violated. Causing you big headaches and a long road of recovering your personal information.
As a way to save people from this headache and to offer protection to the public RFID blocking wallets are becoming the new go to protection for most. Most companies have made this a standard in their wallets.

Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, FRS (Tamil: சந்திரசேகர வெங்கடராமன்) (7 November 1888 – 21 November 1970) was an Indian physicist whose work was influential in the growth of science in the world. He was the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1930 for the discovery that when light traverses a transparent material, some of the light that is deflected changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is now called Raman scattering and is the result of the Raman effect.
About Him :
Venkata Raman, a Tamil Brahmin, was born at Thiruvanaikaval, near Tiruchirappalli, Madras Presidency to R. Chandrasekhara Iyer (b. 1866) and Parvati Ammal (Saptarshi Parvati).[1] He was the second of their eight children. At an early age, Raman moved to the city of Vizag, Andhra Pradesh. Studied in St.Aloysius Anglo-Indian High School. His father was a lecturer in Mathematics and physics.
Career
In 1917, Raman resigned from his government service and took up the newly created Palit Professorship in Physics at the University of Calcutta. At the same time, he continued doing research at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Calcutta, where he became the Honorary Secretary. Raman used to refer to this period as the golden era of his career. Many students gathered around him at the IACS and the University of Calcutta.

On February 28, 1928, through his experiments on the scattering of light, he discovered the Raman effect. It was instantly clear that this discovery was an important one. It gave further proof of the quantum nature of light. Raman spectroscopy came to be based on this phenomenon, and Ernest Rutherford referred to it in his presidential address to the Royal Society in 1929. Raman was president of the 16th session of the Indian Science Congress in 1929. He was conferred a knighthood, and medals and honorary doctorates by various universities. Raman was confident of winning the Nobel Prize in Physics as well, and was disappointed when the Nobel Prize went to Richardson in 1928 and to de Broglie in 1929. He was so confident of winning the prize in 1930 that he booked tickets in July, even though the awards were to be announced in November, and would scan each day's newspaper for announcement of the prize, tossing it away if it did not carry the news. He did eventually win the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the effect named after him". He was the first Asian and first non-White to receive any Nobel Prize in the sciences. Before him Rabindranath Tagore (also Indian) had received the Nobel Prize for Literature.
C.V Raman & Bhagavantam, discovered the quantum photon spin in 1932, which further confirmed the quantum nature of light. [1]
Raman also worked on the acoustics of musical instruments. He worked out the theory of transverse vibration of bowed strings, on the basis of superposition velocities. He was also the first to investigate the harmonic nature of the sound of the Indian drums such as the tabla and the mridangam.
Raman and his student of mim high school, provided the correct theoretical explanation for the acousto-optic effect (light scattering by sound waves), in a series of articles resulting in the celebrated Raman-Nath theory. Modulators, and switching systems based on this effect have enabled optical communication components based on laser systems.
In 1934, Raman became the assistant director of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, where two years later he continued as a professor of physics. Other investigations carried out by Raman were experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies (published 1934-1942), and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light.
He also started a company called cv Chemical and Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in 1943 along with Dr. Krishnamurthy. The Company during its 60 year history, established four factories in Southern India. In 1947, he was appointed as the first National Professor by the new government of Independent India.
In 1948, Raman, through studying the spectroscopic behavior of crystals, approached in a new manner fundamental problems of crystal dynamics. He dealt with the structure and properties of diamond, the structure and optical behavior of numerous iridescent substances (labradorite, pearly feldspar, agate, opal, and pearls). Among his other interests were the optics of colloids, electrical and magnetic anisotropy, and the physiology of human vision.

Here you can see the permanent install. They are not a perfect fit, but they do work well enough for me anyhow.
When not in use the SRB flame deflector is stored at the north end of the pad surface with a section of the sound suppression pipe attached to it.
This is my modified PTR91 (H&K91 Clone) This PTR91 has PSG90 Rails welded on the side for stability. It has a brass deflector welded on to adjust brass ejection to a reasonable 7'. The rifle also has an AR style lower with a Hogue grip, Magpul PRS2, it also has a few other accessories, along with an XS 50 round drum (.308). All done in Kryptek Typhoon. The pattern is designed to retain the black rifle look, but add depth to the rifle. It also has a Trijicon 3.5 ACOG.
I also want to thank Drowning Ink Customs for their hard work on this project. They coated over 20 magazines, two drums, all the accessories, two complete lowers and stocks (the Rifle also has a collapsible stock and normal H&K Lower). All the patterns match between parts, which is very hard to do and most shops do not take the time and effort to match pattern lines from piece to piece. It has Duracoat on most of the parts, with Duracoat High Temp coatings on the upper, barrel etc. It also have Cerekote Slick coating on the insides to reduce friction and prevent mucking from repeated firings, along with trigger work from Springfield Trigger Works.
The welding was done by John, a US Vet and gunsmith.
I want to thank all the individuals that put hours and hours of their time into this project!
