Last Friday an old colleague, he was my manager some time ago, invited me to go and see him fly so that I could take some picalillies of the event.
What you see is a deltawing and attached to is a Mosquito. The deltawing is from Italy and the Mosquito is from Sweden if I remember correctly. The Mosquito is a sleepingbag with an engine attached to it.
To take off, he starts running and simultaneously revvs the shit of that little engine. The wing does its thing and it lifts up and he's air airborne. Then he has to get his legs into the sleepingbag and zip up and retract the landing gear (two legs at the end). As far as he knows, he is the only one in the country who has one of these.
It's super cool. A man can fly, by himself!

Standing in the Engine Shed next to two magnificent steam engines makes you really appreciate their scale and grandeur.

The train engine proved much more of a challenge than regular train cars, and I'm still not quite happy with it. There's just not that much space in a 5-wide system... With that in mind, any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated!
We're digging back into the archives almost ten years. It's the afternoon before we're to begin what would be an epic 10-day trip along the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern that would take us through six states.
And what better way to prime us for the long trip than to have a taste of blue and yellow on Chicago's south side? We're in Bedford Park watching the eastbound IC&E manifest freight rounding the sweeping curve at 65th and Harlem just before entering the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard.
In just under 12 hours, we'd leave Chicago's urban scene behind us as we headed through the cornfields in our trek toward the badlands of South Dakota.
Visitors for the Spring Gala 53808 and 8572 meet at Bridgnorth. This could have been a scene featuring two LNER locomotives in that companies' livery, however B1 1264 was pulled from the gala the week before and the 7F was brought in as a late replacement.

In theory I don't usually bother with light engine moves but never came across a 92 on HS1 during my previous visits so I thought it was worth a go. I didn't realise at the time that the following Monday was the last day of freight on HS1 with the recent contract with presuming Transfesa coming to an end. So the chances of a DB 92 north of Dollands Moor now are really slim. So for the record which I'm glad I made the effort now, sees 92029 working the 0L22 1606 Dollands Moor sidings - Ripple Lane sidings. Funny enough the 92 ended up failing at Singlewell loop, meaning the southbound freight didn't run that evening. Shame they don't seem to be any hope of further freight traffic along here. 19/7/24.
This engine is one and a half feet long and may well be a running model but it wasn't running when I took this picture.
The Gas-up show is put on by people that devote their interest in antique engines and display their equipment at the show. Much of it is operational and as you see some of it is very photogenic.

My current collection of NS diesel locomotives : the NS 353 Sik, NS 627 Hippel and NS 2278. The Sik and 2200 ran pretty well during Rijswijk, the Hippel needed some slight modifications... More diesel engines to come!
No. 6046 was built as works no.70280 by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and the locomotive was exported to France in 1945 to help with the war effort.
Once her use with the French SNCF 6046 was sold to Hungary where she worked for the state railway before being withdrawn.
Having passed through a number of owners since then restoration was completed at the Churnet Valley Railway in 2012. The big 2-8-0, engine is on loan to the NYMR for the main season and has put on some spectacular displays on the climb from Grosmont.
She is seen here having arrived at Pickering with a mid-morning train from Grosmont.

In 1982 it was still possible to “bunk round” depots and on 9th May 1982 I am doing just that my local depot, Toton. Amongst a line of Class 08 shunters stabled in the yard is 08021.
Locomotive History
08021 was originally 13029 and then later under the 1957 renumbering scheme D3029. It was built at Derby Works and entered traffic October 1953. For the first half of its career it was based in the West Midlands with its first Allocation being Tyseley. In August 1960 it transferred to Stourbridge Junction and then to Bescot when Stourbridge closed in April 1967. It transferred to Toton in July 1968 (one of the Class 10 replacements) where it remained until withdrawn in December 1986. Following withdrawal it has entered preservation and is the resident shunter at the Tyseley Locomotive Works, its first home in 1953.
Toton Diesel Shunter Allocation – 1967/68
In the 1950’s and early 1960’s British Railways built/purchased around two thousand diesel shunters which replaced considerably more steam shunting engines. By the middle of the 1960’s changing operating methods and the reducing size of the network lead to a surplus of diesel shunting locomotives. Withdrawal commenced with the classes containing only a few locomotives however as the surplus grew a start was made on the larger less reliable classes.
I first started visiting Toton MPD in the summer of 1966 and in November 1966 Toton MPD had an allocation of twenty five diesel shunters. Over the next two years this fleet would be totally replaced and was also reduced to fifteen locomotives. The diesel shunter allocation in November 1966 consisted of four types of locomotive:
Class D2/2 - (TOPS class 03) –204bhp diesel mechanical shunter built by Swindon and Doncaster works between 1957 - 1961
Class D3/3 – 350bhp diesel electric shunter (mechanically a class 08) fitted with a Crossley ESNT6 engine and Crompton Parkinson electrical equipment, built by Derby Works in 1955.
Class D3/4 - (TOPS class 10) –350bhp diesel electric shunter (mechanically a class 08) fitted with a Blackstone ER6T engine and GEC electrical equipment built by Darlington and Doncaster Works between 1953 and 1962.
Class D3/8 (TOPS class 11) - 350bhp diesel electric shunter (the prototype for the class 08) fitted with an English Electric 6KT engine and English Electric electrical equipment built at Derby Works between 1945 and 1952.
Those allocated were as follows
Class D2/2 (class03) – D2116
Class D3/3 – D3117 – D3126 (complete class)
Class D3/4 (class 10) – D3476/93/95/97-99, D3500-02, D3632
Class D3/8 (class 11) – 12038/55/63/82
Of note is D2116 which had officially arrived in September 1966 but despite regular visits at this time I can not personally ever recall seeing it at Toton.
The first change was the transfer of the four D3/8 locomotives in November/December 1966 (with 12038 going to Speke Junction and 12055/63/82 going to Crewe) and the withdrawal of four of the class D3/3 locomotives D3122-24/26. These were replaced by eight class D3/4 locomotives, D3446/47/48/49/50 from Peterborough, D3452/75 from Tinsley and D3473 from Doncaster.
In April 1967 a further class D3/3 locomotive was withdrawn D3121 and in July 1967 the remaining five class D3/3 locomotives D3117-20/25 were withdrawn.
In September 1967 the class D2/2 locomotive D2116 was transferred to Barrow
In November 1967 the first two class D3/2 (TOPS class 08) locomotives D3400/02 arrived from Cardiff
In December 1967 two further class D3/2 locomotives D3050 and D3997 arrived from Willesden and Bescot respectively as did two class D3/4 locomotives D3442/89 from Colwick however a start was made on withdrawing the D3/4 locomotives with the withdrawal of D3449.
So the situation at the end of 1967 was an allocation of twenty five diesel shunters (the same total as November 1966) of only two types:
Class D3/2 (class 08) - D3050, D3400/02, D3997
Class D3/4 (class 10) – D3442/46-50/52/73/75/76/89/93/95/97-99, D3500-02, D3632.
This was to be the high point as over the next nine months twenty of the class D3/4 locomotives were withdrawn with the remaining one D3497 being transferred to Colwick. As replacements eleven class D3/2 locomotives arrived, D3021/25/29/34/36/37 from Bescot, D3026 from Tyseley, D3039 from Derby and D3340/45/90 from the Scottish Region (Thornton Junction, Dunfermline and Eastfield respectively). One class D3/4 D3490 also arrived from Colwick but was withdrawn one month later.
So by September 1968 in less than two years the Toton diesel shunter allocation was totally replaced initially by additional class D3/4 (class 10) locomotives which were in turn quickly withdrawn and replaced by class D3/2 (class 08) locomotives. Also in the first nine months of 1968 the fleet was significantly reduced, being reduced from twenty five to fifteen locomotives as follows.
D3/2 (class 08) – D3021/25/26/29/34/36/37/39/50, D3340/45/90, D3400/02, D3997
As a young spotter this meant plenty of new “cops” on a regular basis.

This is the last photo taken by my Pentax before it gave up the ghost, coughed and spluttered. It was a useful engine.
locomotive on a mother's day of thailand - Each year, the State Railway of Thailand will launch a steam train to run a four-day tour of the nation's major roads, including 26th March, the 28th of July (The King's birthday) , 12th August (Queen's birthday), and 23rd October (anniversary of the death of King Chulalongkorn)
Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!
