The past two years, I’ve updated the designs of a lot of my Lego fire trucks. Here is the redesigned Brush 1. In the background is Engine 3 with a new pump panel (inspired by Castle Beach Lego Fire) and my fire excavator. The fire apparatus are inspired by Pierce Manufacturing and similar in design to apparatus with LAFD, Cal Fire, and the San Diego Fire Department. Unless otherwise noted, the designs are original work.
I stayed in Liskeard on Wednesday evening so decided to venture out to a spot close to where I grew up the following morning. This is the ruins of an old engine house on Bodmin Moor, close to Minions and the Cheesewring. Just when I thought it was in danger of being a wasted journey the sun came out and provided some nice light. This was taken just as the sun popped up above the horizon.
Thanks to Richie for reminding me of this spot with his atmospheric mono image of the same location a few days ago.
I appreciate any constructive comments to help me improve.
After 17 years and 9 months, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 020 finally runs on the mainline once again under her own power.
Undertaking a short initial test run for her first outing since April 2001, 020 was accompanied by sister locomotive, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division", which had been at Crewe ETD for repairs and was acting as the 'insurance' locomotive.
Running as 0Z92, the pair of GB engines left the DB Cargo depot - the Class 92s' original "home" - with the (GB) driver sounding 020's horn to mark the occasion as they rounded the curve towards the north end of Crewe station.
92020 and 92032 then had brief spell in the UDL at the station, before 032 took the pair back to the ETD.
To add to the uniqueness of the occasion both 92s had their pans up during the test run.

The morning of May 13 found me wake and alert before dawn, so I got to shoot part of the morning fleet on the NS Lafayette District. I am familiar with the afternoon offerings on this busy freight artery, but I don't get out too often early in the day, so my insomnia had a silver lining to it.
Here we see TripleCrown™ 256 hauling its trailers up the steep but short grade at Philo, IL. 256 is blowing for the Illinois 130 crossing behind me; the grain elevators off in the distance are at Tolono – at the bottom of the hill – some five miles distant.

What beautiful feat of British Engineering. No. 31806 used to run down to Corfe Castle and Swanage during the British Railways days of the 1950s and is the quintessential Southern Railway branch line locomotive.
Colas Rail Freight Class 37, 37254 hauls stricken sister engine 37610 through Hartford after the latter had failed on 0Z31 Falkland Storage Sidings to London Euston and had sat at Hartford Junction for over five hours.
The troublesome tractor had been on 0Z31 08:30 Falkland Storage Sidings to London Euston, heading to the capital for road learning duties. However, it arrived at Hartford Junction a couple of minutes early at 17:28, where it promptly sat down.
Eventually 37254 came to the rescue to recover the troublesome tractor to Derby RTC. A VSTP was put in for the tow - 21:30 Hartford Junction to Derby RTC. However, this itself was 82 Late starting, with the duo moving off at 22:52. This meant 37610 had sat at Hartford Junction for over five hours.
Truck Thursday
We had some errands to run today and while we were out this Fire Truck zoomed passed us with its light flashing and siren blowing. I couldn't miss an opportunity like this!

It inspired me (plagiarism attempt) to make a similar shot.
A pair of class 25's depart in the Manchester direction from Chester General in 1982 the then new Powerbox can be seen in the background
The loco's are 25161 and 25224
25161 originally numbered D7511 was withdrawn on November 28th 1984 making it the 226th Class 25 to be withdrawn. After withdrawal 25161 was stored at Toton, then moved with 25193 & 25207 Toton – Gloucester – Swindon between February 21st - 25th 1985. On June 3rd 1987 it was moved to Cocklebury Yard following the closure of Swindon Works. On June 4th/5th 1987 25161, 25207/208, 25327 moved from Cocklebury Yard to Vic Berry, Leicester for scrapping. 25161 was placed in the stack by October 1987 and removed during March 1988 for cutting up which was completed by the last week of March 1988.
25224 Originally numbered D7574 was withdrawn on January 23rd 1983 but in February 1983 reinstated to Crewe finally withdrawn permanently on May 8th 1986.
25224 was the 282nd Class 25 to be withdrawn, one of four retired during May 1986
25224 was stored at Crewe after withdrawal until sold to Vic Berry, Leicester during December 1986. On January 9th 25064, 25198, 25224/269 were moved from Crewe to Leicester, with 25224 entering Vic Berry's yard on January 12th 1987 and was scrapped during February 1987, however the cabs lingered until at least November 1987

Hailed as Union Pacific's "Living Legend," the engine is widely known among railroad enthusiasts for its excursion runs, especially over Union Pacific's fabled crossing of Sherman Hill between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming.
The Northerns
The Northern class steam locomotives, with a wheel arrangement of 4-8-4, were used by most large U.S. railroads in dual passenger and freight service. Union Pacific operated 45 Northerns, built in three classes, which were delivered between 1937 and 1944. Initially the speedy locomotives, capable of exceeding 100 miles per hour, were assigned to passenger trains, including the famous Overland Limited, Portland Rose and Pacific Limited. In their later years, as diesels were assigned to the passenger trains, the Northerns were reassigned to freight service. They operated over most of UP's system.
The second series of Northerns was more than 114 feet long and weighed nearly 910,000 pounds. Most of them were equipped with distinctive smoke deflectors, sometimes called "elephant ears," on the front of the boiler. These were designed to help lift the smoke above the engine so the engine crew's visibility wasn't impaired when the train was drifting at light throttle.
The last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific was Northern No. 844. It was saved in 1960 for excursion and public relations service, an assignment that continues to this day. Any current excursions scheduled are posted on the Schedule page. Two other Northerns are on public display: No. 814 in Council Bluffs, Iowa and No. 833 in Ogden, Utah. A third Northern, No. 838, is stored in Cheyenne and is used as a parts source for No. 844.
