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!
Some old things, something new, and something half black, half light blue. The Superbird's engine is to the right of the small block engine and is a fuel injected big block racing hemi that I nicknamed "The Beast".

Hunslet Engine Co. 0-4-0ST 'Lilla' Plate 554 Built 1891.

Another engine plate at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Not originally a steam railway, it was used to transport sand from the local quarry. When closed, enthusiasts re-opened with engines bought or donated to the railway from all over the world.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railroad locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, it moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete as demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.
Class 5 5407 storms through Clapham towards Eldroth with the bottom leg of a Cumbrian Mountain Express in October 1983. At this time she was owned by Paddy Smith and was permanently based at Carnforth. In those days we would spend the morning at Carnforth sheds watching the two engines being prepared, even helped out with cleaning them on the odd occasion, have breakfast in the canteen before the engine on the S&C leg would leave light engine for Hellifield ( on this day I think it was 46229 , the Duchess ).
A shot would be obtained before Wennington were the train would stop and usually perform a couple of run pasts for the passengers allowing us to get ahead for a second bite. Then a leisurely drive up to the S&C to get the second engine climbing the long drag. Happy days indeed in my dad Freds Marina.
34 years on and we are still able to pursue our hobby and 5407 is still pleasing the punters under the ownership of Ian Riley. Who'd have thought .

The other day, I decided to return to the basics of what rekindled my love of photography... The Engine Bridge. I have shot this bridge from almost every conceivable angle... This is one of a few images that got me interested in playing with the angles of the bridge once again.

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.
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 have near on 60 shots to process but have no time at the moment, I felt the need to upload something and found this one of an old tractor engine gathering dust on the hard drive.
Given the HDR treatment
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated
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.
