Dit jaar ben ik weer met mijn twee zonen naar Terug naar Toen van de VSM geweest. En natuurlijk stonden er natuurlijk weer veel locs onder stoom. De gebruikelijke stoomtreinen tussen Beekbergen en Apeldoorn reden dit jaar alleen in de ochtend. Dus daar lag in de ochtend de focus op. In de middag werd vooral rondom Loenen doorgebracht. Het was weer een schitterend spektakel met prachtig weer.

Dieses Jahr bin ich mit meinen beiden Söhnen nach Zurück nach Damals der VSM gefahren. Und natürlich waren wieder viele Loks unter Dampf. Die üblichen Dampf Güterzüge zwischen Beekbergen und Apeldoorn liefen dieses Jahr nur am Morgen. Das war der Fokus am Morgen. Am Nachmittag wurde hauptsächlich um Loenen herum verbracht. Es war wieder ein großartiges Spektakel mit schönem Wetter.

This year my two sons and I went the event "Terug naar Toen (Back to then) off the VSM. And of course, many locs were under steam again. The usual steam goods trains between Beekbergen and Apeldoorn were only running in the morning this year. So that was the focus for the morning. In the afternoon we mainly spend our time around Loenen. Again it was a magnificent spectacle with beautiful weather.

Today I had the dry parts of the dieselengine cleansed (everything where fuel is not coming). The injector device replaces most of the air in the engine (and mixture) with a cleaning fluid and chokes the engine upto the point it almost gets no air at all (hence the grey smoke and irregularity).

After the treatment it clearly runs cleaner and smoother, reacts more direct to the throttle. It feels more powerful.

Job well done!

A ground frame now occupies the site of the signal box. Another ground frame now controls the run-round loop for platform 1 from which the train is leaving.

I took this photo in October 1989 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm Camera and it shows New Jersey Transit Endcab Switcher Number 500 and Passenger Coach at Route 10 and Whippany Road in Whippany, New Jersey. Note the NJT Coach has a Clerestory Roof.

The SW1500 Endcab Switcher was built by the Electromotive Division (aka: EMD) of General Motors in December 1970 for the Peoria & Lake Erie Railway (aka: PLE, aka: P&LE). It is ex LTEX Leasing #500, nee P&LE #1570.

There must have been a Festival going on at the Whippany Railroad Museum, because several of my Photographs from October 1989 have lots of people in them, including Kids. I just don't remember and I can't find any Notes that I wrote in that time-frame.

Disclaimer: I took photograph in October 1989 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm SLR Camera with Color Print Film, when I was just learning photography, so it is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative, and used Photoshop Elements™ to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate the Digital Digital Image, presented here on flickr™.

This Photograph was so Grainy, that I couldn't do much with it, but it was one of my early photographs, so I decided to post it to flickr™.

This weekend's project is going to be working on a new big boy bed for Berk based on a Soo Line SD60. The scale (at least on the sides) is 1:9.2. The short hood's top will hinge open, revealing a toy/bedding chest.

My father will be assisting, as he was a professional cabinet maker, and has a big shop full of table saws, routers, sanders, and the like. As an added bonus, he also has a vinyl plotter, which I'll be able to use for the lettering, after the white, red, and black paint goes down.

Any suggestions for adding some of the line details (doors, vents, etc.) on the side, other than a pencil, ruler, and a paintbrush?

Provo's industrial lead runs and yard switching jobs still use SD40Ns, an anomaly in this part of the country where the SD70M has usurped the SD40's position. 25 August 2023.

In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.

During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.

Während der Sommerferien 2023 mussten meine Frau und ich aus familiären Gründen eilig nach Aberdeen, Schottland, reisen. An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.
