One of the longest trains I think I've photted. 66565 is on the back of 6Y11 0450 St Neots - Stapleford & Sandiacre. The train reversed at Syston with 66549 leading it north 15/5/20. (Taken using a pole)

This time I switched my position 90 degrees from the last shot posted to work on Engineer's south face with is the most well know mountain face in the San Juans. I have struggled to catch a good sunset with the cliff face saturated so I was happy.
There was a rain shower in the distance near Silverton which was more like a sunset shower with its redish illuminated glow.

This is what I carry on a daily basis. See the notes for details. Taken on a cell phone camera (not mine) so the camera I do carry shows in the photo. I've considered getting a bigger bag, but I know it would just fill up with yarn and books, and weigh three tons.
All the train shots were taken with my church photo club... we chased trains for about four hours, too fun! This was also my very first time shooting in complete manual mode on my camera.

I love my old boots. I really do. They are my third pair of Carolina brand engineer boots and all three pairs have served me well. However, thanks to a co-worker's recent purchase I started thinking about Wescos again. After a lot of agonizing over the cost I went ahead and bit the bullet and got a pair.
They're just ... solid. They make my Carolinas feel like toy boots. I love that they're hand made, every pair, and in the USA to boot. Uh. No pun intended.
I can already tell it's going to take a lot longer to break them in than it did to break in my old ones, but that's okay. I wear my boots every time I leave the house, so it won't be that long.
On the outside Frederic looks just like any other member of the Hooman Empire, but he is actually a part of an alien race of unknown origin that simply appeared on the outskirts of the galaxy some 30 years ago, suffering from collective amnesia.
Having no memories meant that Frederic, and the entirety of his people, had to concentrate on survival rather than discovering their origins. They quickly started to make contact with neighbouring systems, but were met with more hostility than offerings of help. Food soon became scarce and, in a desperate attempt to save as many as they could, they sold most of their young into slavery, Frederic included.
As per chance Hugo was the one to buy him. He saw something in Frederic, something he couldn’t quite put his mechanical claw on. He decided to buy him and teach him skill necessary to perform routine maintenance on his mechanical body. Noticing that Frederic had talent for engineering beyond even himself Hugo decided to set Frederic free.
Years later they met again and Frederic begged Hugo to let him join “his” pirate crew, wanting to always be near, should Hugo’s body and mind ever start to fail him. Captain agreed on one condition, that he became the ship’s engineer.

He qualified for the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. This combination of medals would indicate he did not serve in a Theatre of War until on or after the 1st January 1916.
The associated Service Medal Roll gives no additional information as to units served with.
His Service Records do not appear to have survived the incendiary attack during the Blitz on the Warehouse where all the Other Ranks Army Service Records were stored.

The Army Register of Soldiers Effects, a financial ledger rather than an inventory of belongings, shows that Lance Corporal 71103 Ernest Edwin Stacey, Royal Engineers, died at Norwich on the 9th April 1919. There does not appear to be any balance of his pay to be sent oout, although his widow, (and sole legatee), Augusta is recorded as the person entitled to receive any money due. He is also shown as not being entitled to any War Gratuity, which would normally mean he served less than three months before November 11 1918.
1888 – Birth……………………..
The birth of an Ernest Edwin Stacey, mothers’ maiden name Backwell, was registered with the Civil Authorities in the Norwich District of Norfolk in the July to September quarter, (Q3), of 1888.
The most likely marriage of his parents was that of a William Stacey to a Kate Backwell recorded in the Bristol District in the October to December quarter, (Q4), of 1871. Other likely children of the couple are, (all with mothers’ maiden name Backwell) are:-
Clifton District, Gloucestershire
Q3 1872 Alice Katherine Stacey
Q1 1874 William Henry
Q3 1876 Florence Elizabeth Stacey
Mitford District, Norfolk
Q1 1879 Albert Edward Stacey
Q1 1881 John Thomas Stacey
Q4 1883 Bertie Stacey
Q1 1886 George Arthur Stacey
His future wife, Augusta Fancett, had her birth registered in the Dartford District of Kent in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1891. Her mothers maiden name was Gilles.
1891 Census of England and Wales
The 3 year old Ernest E, born Norwich, was recorded living at 172 Old Palace Road, Norwich. This was the household of his parents William, (aged 42, a Telegraph Engineer,
born Bristol, Gloucestershire) and Catherine, (aged 44, born Kingston, Somerset). As well as Ernest their other children living with them are:-
William H…….aged 17….born Bristol…..Coachman
Florence E……aged 15….born Bristol
Albert E………aged 13….born East Dereham, Norfolk
John T………..aged 11…..born East Dereham, Norfolk
Bertie………...aged 9……born East Dereham, Norfolk
George A……..aged 6……born East Dereham, Norfolk
Augusta Fancett appears on this census as aged 2, but I suspect that was an error when the census taker was writing up his notes onto the Census Schedule – it’s more likely to have been 2 months or 2 weeks or even 2 days. She is down as born Swanscombe, Kent, and was recorded as living at 6 West View Cottages, Swanscombe. Part of the reason for the doubt is that she has a 2 year old brother William, born Rotherhithe, London.
This was the household of her parents, William M., (aged 31, a Cooper, born Rotherhithe) and Alice S, (aged 27, born Rotherhithe. As well as Augusta and Willam the couple have another daughter, Alice S, (aged 4 and born Swanscombe).
1901 Census of England and Wales
The Stacey family were still living at 172 Old Palace Road, Norwich. Father William, (51), is now a self employed Electrical Engineer and lives there with wife Catherine, (52) and children Bertie, (18, no occupation shown), George A., (15) and Ernest E, (13) – all shown as born Dereham, Norfolk.
Thanks to the Census takers over elaborate handwriting the Genealogy sources I use have transcribed the surname of his future wifes family as “Fawcett”. The 10 year old Augusta, born Swanscombe, Kent, was living with them at 17 Freeland Street, Battersea, London, Surrey.
1911 Census of England and Wales
The most likely match for Ernest on this Census is a 22 year old Post Office Lineman, born Norwich, who was recorded as a Boarder in a Boarding House called “Holmleigh”, which was on New Street, Maldon, Essex.
His parents were still living at 172 Old Palace Road, North Heigham, Norwich. Father William, (now aged 61 and now describing himself as a retired Lineman for the Post Office Telegraph Service), and mother Catherine, (60), state that they have been married 40 years and have had 8 children, all then still alive. Also in the household is their widower son, George Arthur, (26 and Grocers Porter). George states he was married one and a half years, and the marriage produced one child, who was then still alive, (although not living with him as there is no one else recorded at this address).
Augustas’ parents were still recorded living at 17 Freeland Street, Battersea, but she was recorded as a live in Domestic Servant at 37 St John’s Road, Putney, London S.W.
1914 – Marriage…………..
The marriage of an Ernest E. Stacey to an Augusta Fancett was recorded in the Wandsworth District of London in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1914.
Until September 1911 the quarterly index published by the General Registrars Office did not show information about the mothers’ maiden name. A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Birth for England and Wales 1911 – 1983 shows no likely children of this marriage.
Family in the Great War…………………….
It may be a co-incidence but a 44 year old William Henry Stacey, a Foreman, G.P.O Engineers and then living at 9 Alexandra Place, Bedford, was conscripted into the Royal Engineers on the 31st July 1918. A married man, his marriage had taken place at the St John Baptist Catholic Cathedral, Norwich, on the 26th December 1900. He was posted to the R.E. Depot at Bedford with service number 329937. However it was deemed he was more important to keeping vital services going and so he was discharged to Army Reserve “W” on the 1st August 1918. He was fully discharged from any obligation to serve on the 14th December 1918.
Army Career………………………………..
While the service records for 71103 Ernest Edwin Stacey, Royal Engineers, may no longer exist it can sometimes be possible to infer something about his likely Army Career by looking at men with nearby service numbers to see if they have surviving records.
71095 Charles Sydney Herbert Boyce has no surviving service records, but he was discharged as no no longer physically fit to serve as a result of Sickness on the 3rd September 1917. He was serving then with the 71st Divisional Signal Company, but he had seen service overseas, having landed in France on the 7th October 1915. As this was an honourable discharge he was also entitled to receive the Silver War Badge. The associated control document for this, the Silver War Badge Roll, shows he enlisted on the 18th June 1915.
71100 Tom Dent, a Post Office Linesman, has some surviving service records. He enlisted on the 17th June 1915 and was classed a Skilled Permanent Line Telephonist. He sailed from Devonport on the 7th February 1916, landing at Kelindini(?) on the 15th March 1916. He remained serving in East Africa until the 2nd July 1918. It’s not clear which unit he initially served with, but by mid-1917 he was with the Imperial Signal Company, R.E. He made a subsequent claim for disability on the basis of the Malaria he had contracted in November 1916 while serving in German East Africa. (Unfortunately the records on FindMyPast have been mixed in with another Tom Dent who volunteered in 1914 and served with the West Yorkshire Regiment until discharged in 1919).
71105 Evan Richard Roberts has no surviving service records but would die of wounds on the 31st October 1916 while serving with the 50th Air Line Section, R.E. (Air Line Sections installated and maintained the lines strung between telegraph poles).
71107 John H. Owen turns up on a progress report from 34 Casualty Clearing Station in France dated 7th September 1916. While the contents of the report have now been lost, John was then serving with 3rd. Guards Signal Section. His Medal Index Card shows he first landed in France on the 10th October 1915.
John Frederick Steels has Medal Index Cards as both 71109 and 71110. Under the latter FindMyPast has him on a long list of G.P.O men serving with the Royal Engineers who were in the lower medical categories and for whom it was proposed they be returned to their civilian employment. The list is unfortunately undated. Sapper 71110 J.F. Steels, then at Fenny Stratford Service Depot had been graded C.iii and had previously worked at the Peterborough Post Office. He was discharged on the 21st February 1918 on the grounds of sickness. He had enlisted on the 22nd June 1915 and had seen service overseas. He only qualified for the Victory Medal, British War Medal, and the Silver War Badge.
71111 William Barber has surviving service records. He had joined up at Peterborough on the 22nd June 1915. He was initially posted to the 49 Motor Airline Section. Discharged in March 1919, he had contracted Malaria & Dysentery in August 1916. This was part of a 16 month spell he had in East Africa serving as a Linesman.
He had previously worked for the G.P.O. as a Line Telegraphist. He embarked at Devonport on the 7th February 1916 and disembarked at Kelindini(?) on the 15th March 1916. By November 1916 at Nairobi he was rated unfit for further service in the field for an indefinite period. After a spell in South Africa he was returned to England with a note that he was not available for a Theatre of War where Malaria is prevalent.
71112 Richard Rawlinson also has surviving service records. Discharged on the 12th March 1919, he states he had served in German East Africa between February 1916 to April 1918 as a Permanent Linesman. He had contracted Malaria, Dysentery and Spleen “trouble” in June 1916. He originally enlisted on the 19th June 1915 at Peterborough and had previously worked as a G.P.O. Line Telegraphist. By July 1915 he was at the Fenny Stratford Depot. He embarked at Devonport on the 7th February 1916 and disembarked at Kelindini(?) on the 15th March 1916. He was invalided to England at the start of March 1918. His service records, like William Barber, were noted that he was not available for a Theatre of War where Malaria is prevalent.
Of the others in the sample I looked at (71094 to 71112) with no service records:
71101 Peter F Neilson, 71102 Carl G Thurston, 71104 Arthur Chilvers, 71105 Evan Richard Roberts and 71106 Edward Parry were all like Ernest Stacey in that they only received the Victory Medal and British War Medal, implying they did not serve in a Theatre of War until on or after the 1st January 1916.
71099 Willie Pringle would receive the 1914/15 Star as well as those two medals, having first landed in France on the 8th November 1915. So too would 71098 George A Coldwell, although his first Theatre of War was East Africa from the 18th October 1915. 71097 William McKenzie qualified for his 1914/15 Star as a result of having landed in France on the 6th November 1915.71096 James M. King was in France from the 5th October 1915. 71094 J.R. Sebborn landed in France on the 6th November 1915.
So it would seem he enlisted between the 17th June 1915 and 22nd June 1915, part of a batch of GPO Linemen drawn from across the country. Most likely they did there initial Army training at Fenny Stratford before being posted to France in late 1915, or East Africa and France in the opening months of 1916. If Ernest was one of those who went to East Africa, he may well have returned with a health condition that caused his early demise.
On the day…………………………………
The death of the 30 year old Ernest E. Stacey was recorded in the Norwich Distric in the April to June quarter, (Q2), of 1919. For now the cause of death remains unknown.
Postscript………………………
His wife Augusta would subsequently claim a War Widows pension as a result of the loss of husband. There is a surviving Ministry of Pensions Control Card for her claim which shows her initial address was 88 Adelaide Street, Dereham Road, Norwich. It doesn’t look like the pension was in payment for any great length of time.
This is possibly explained by the marriage of an Augusta Stracey to an Albert E. Stracey in the Medway District of Kent in the July to September quarter, (Q3), of 1920. I suspect this may be Ernest’s older brother Albert. Indeed the couples appearance on the 1939 Register shows his date of birth as the 30th November 1878 and someone born then could well have been registered in Q1 1879. However he is shown as a Retired Royal Marine (“R.M.”) Pensioner, but I could not identify a likely service record for him.
But looking at the other occupants, the 3rd person is interesting. This was an Ernest E. Stacey, single and a Postman Driver, who was born 17th January 1915. The most likely match in the General Registrars Office Index of Births in England & Wales was recorded in the Norwich District in Q1 1915.
Genes Reunited, FreeBMD and familysearch have all transcribed the mothers’ maiden name as “Lancett” – which isn’t too surprising as that is how it appears in the original document they were working from.
In fact I suspect Augusta and Ernest did have a child after all.
Class 47 No.47334 in plain BR blue passes Southall with a short engineers train..
The two towers are worth also a mention. .
The brick Water Tower was built in 1903 and remained in use until the 1960s and has since been converted to residential use..
The blue tower is on the former Southall Gasworks site and still bears the unusual marking LHR on the side as a nav' aid to pilots!.

On this incomparable episode of Room 205, director Tim Manning and cinematographer Ryan Baker used multiple RED Epic and Scarlet-X cameras in unison with more than 20 GoPro HD cameras to capture the smarts, smiles, harmonies, melodies, ripping skills, primary colors, fancy shoes, and hair-spinning showmanship of the truly legendary Redd Kross. (Trust us, making this was bonkers). From the kaleidoscopic, hyper-colored bodega of "Uglier" to the red storm of "Researching The Blues" to the arena-ready white lights of "Pop Show," this is psychedelic power pop at its finest — played by the best.
BIO
Redd Kross have always been too good, too perfect, too true, to believe. Mythic. Did they really open for Black Flag? Could Jeff and Steven McDonald really have been born and raised in the Beach Boys' hometown of Hawthorne, California, and did Jeff really see the Beatles live in 1966? Is that really their hair? Could Researching the Blues, their first studio album in 15 years, be the best start-to-finish Redd Kross record ever? Somehow, the answer to all the above is improbably, wonderfully YES. Here's to their beautiful reunion! Redd Kross Forever!

‘Why isn’t there an Engineers’ Corner in Westminster Abbey? In
Britain we’ve always made more fuss of a ballad than a blueprint
. . . How many schoolchildren dream of becoming great engineers?’
Advertisement placed in The Times by the Engineering Council
We make more fuss of ballads than of blueprints –
That’s why so many poets end up rich,
While engineers scrape by in cheerless garrets.
Who needs a bridge or dam? Who needs a ditch?
Whereas the person who can write a sonnet
Has got it made. It’s always been the way,
For everybody knows that we need poems
And everybody reads them every day.
Yes, life is hard if you choose engineering –
You’re sure to need another job as well;
You’ll have to plan your projects in the evenings
Instead of going out. It must be hell.
While well-heeled poets ride around in Daimlers,
You’ll burn the midnight oil to earn a crust,
With no hope of a statue in the Abbey,
With no hope, even, of a modest bust.
No wonder small boys dream of writing couplets
And spurn the bike, the lorry and the train.
There’s far too much encouragement for poets –
That’s why this country’s going down the drain.
Shirley shot these pictures with her iphone out the windshield. For that reason, they are not the best, but I am always wanting to show what the first 6 miles of Engineer Pass is really like.
When you look at these pictures, you have to understand the camera is flattening out the rocks. I promise the are.
I hope you enjoy seeing the road.
