57311- Institute Of Mechanical Engineers @ Victoria . At the tail end of the Steam Santa Express but with 2 drivers equipped with radios. There is no facility to turn the steam engine around so it will push the 'express' , &&33 may give some help but is also useful if the steam engine were to break down, The drivers with radios keep in contact with the Steam engine by radio.
As requested...pics with light!! :) Like I said before, a little bigger than I am used to, but we still like it.

NASA engineers closed a summer of successful hot fire testing Aug. 30 for flight controllers on RS-25 engines that will help power the new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, being built to carry astronauts to deep-space destinations, including Mars. The space agency capped off summer testing with a 500-second hot fire of a fifth RS-25 engine flight controller unit on the A-1 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The controller serves as the “brain” of the engine, communicating with SLS flight computers to ensure engines are performing at needed levels. The test marked another step toward the nation’s return to human deep-space exploration missions.

SERIES:
New series continuing from last week's post. If you guessed a train station, you were absolutely correct. There's a lot more on the property than just the train. There is the old plantation house, the museum as well as the distillery. On this occasion, we are only dealing with the newest attraction, which is the train.
While I was listening to the engineers and tour guides talking, I couldn't resist taking a shot of the main driver here. They are making sure we have enough fuel for the trip to the top of the hill and back. We are standing on the platform as you may have guessed but we're getting ready to leave soon.

A photo showing the Engineer gold mine on Taku Arm in northern British Columbia in about 1927. The steamship seen approaching is the famous Tutshi - LINK showing this same image only on a postcard - www.explorenorth.com/library/mining/images/engineer_mine1...
The steamer S.S. Tutshi was the "queen" of the British Yukon Navigation Company's fleet. She was constructed at Carcross and launched on June 12, 1917. At 1,040 tons, the Tutshi was one of the larger boats in the Yukon. She had a crew of 29 and could carry 135 passengers. Her original run was between Carcross and Graham Inlet on Tagish Lake. Although the Tutshi carried freight (mail, groceries etc.), she was built primarily as an excursion boat. Between 1920 and 1926, she underwent three expansions to accommodate the bustling tourist trade. The Tutshi carried up to 135 passengers all of whom were first class. The S.S. Tutshi was the biggest passenger carrying ship of its time, and the only one with room service. One of the Tutshi's destinations was Ben-My-Chree. Ben-My-Chree was the site of a mine in the early 1900's, but the mine caved in, and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Partridge, never reopened it. Instead they imported plants and trees from around the world and converted the area to a beautiful garden spot. They had literally recreated an English country garden where spectacular displays of flowers could be seen and enjoyed by all. The Tutshi brought tourists here to view the beautiful gardens. The elderly couple would entertain their visitors with sing-songs around their organ and serve them a delicious fare including tea, cakes and rhubarb wine. The overnight trip would end back in Carcross the next morning. An alternate excursion to Atlin, B.C. was available until 1936. The Tutshi was one of the first sternwheeler's to be converted from wood to oil, a modification made in 1925 largely for the comfort of the passengers. The Tutshi made her last trip to Ben-My Chree in 1955 and her last trip ever in 1956 when she was used to pull a barge of railway ties from Taku Arm to Carcross. In July of that year she was pulled out of the water and remained abandoned on the shores of the Natasahini River until 1971 when the Yukon Government purchased it and became involved in her restoration. She was beached on the shore of Lake Bennett at Carcross in 1972, repainted in 1977 and the real restoration work was begun in 1984. By early 1990 she was almost restored to her former beauty when sadly, the S.S. Tutshi was destroyed in an early morning fire on July 25, 199O.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.
Date : 03/06/2016.
Type : Engineers Ballast Wagon.
Weight : 41t GLW. (26.5t Capacity / 14.5t Tare)
Number : DC 210150.
Number Series : Various conversion from the 210xxx range.
Builder : 1977-78 by BR Shildon Works, Rebuilt 1991.
TOPS Code : ZCA.
CCE Code : SEA URCHIN.
Lot No. : 3908.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
In an effort to eliminate vacuum braked and unfitted engineers stock in the early 1990's BR set about converting surplus 41ton GLW opens and vans into a new fleet of engineers Ballast/Spoil wagons. There were two distinct fleets called 'Seahare' and 'Sea Urchin' the later batch were by far the largest encompassing former OBA open wagons and numerous Van types. The conversions were undertaken at various BR wagon shops resulting in several body types. The vehicle seen here was originally a VDA 41t Box Van. EWS inherited this fleet on privatisation but the low capacity and aging underframes has resulted in the 'Seahare' fleet becoming extinct and what few 'Sea Urchins' still exist are mostly stored waiting disposal.

"Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian pronunciation: [katteˈdraːle di ˈsanta maˈriːa del ˈfjoːre]; in English "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower"), is the cathedral of Florence, Italy (Italian: Duomo di Firenze). It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is Giuseppe Betori.
Florence (/ˈflɔːrəns/ FLORR-ənss; Italian: Firenze [fiˈrɛntse]) is a city in central Italy and the capital city of the Tuscany region. It is the most populated city in Tuscany, with 383,084 inhabitants in 2013, and over 1,520,000 in its metropolitan area.
Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of that era. It is considered by many academics to have been the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". Its turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy (established in 1861). The Florentine dialect forms the base of Standard Italian and it became the language of culture throughout Italy due to the prestige of the masterpieces by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini.
The city attracts millions of tourists each year, and UNESCO declared the Historic Centre of Florence a World Heritage Site in 1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, Forbes has ranked it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Florence plays an important role in Italian fashion, and is ranked in the top 15 fashion capitals of the world by Global Language Monitor; furthermore, it is a major national economic centre, as well as a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008 the city had the 17th-highest average income in Italy." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

”Who’s there?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walter Newell, an oceanographer and engineer based in New York City. Yeah, New York, the home of every generic and clichéd superhero story. Well guess what? Buckle up as you’re in for the ride of… well… another one of those stories. Walter Newell, like many scientists that have come and pass has begun creating a device that promises to be a “step in the right direction” in his field of science. Have you heard that one before?
Thought so.
Here’s some generic backstory to get you caught up to speed:
All his life, Walter has been fascinated with the ocean. He was intrigued as a young boy by the movies that depicted the creatures that roamed the deep blue abyss. The thing that stood out the most was the fact that there was so much about the ocean that has yet to be discovered. When new findings would emerge he would be jealous of those men and women that were lucky enough to be there. So, he did everything he could to ensure his future as someone that would become famous making new discoveries about the ocean. He read, watched, and studied everything he could about the ocean.
With his head full of, figuratively, everything one could know about the ocean he applied to the best school that had the very program he knew would get him a job with a major company. His goal was a company that stood out to him. This company had shown interest in almost anyone that would show up at their doorstep with an idea to give to them. Well that was if you wanted to make an advancement in technology. Walter had poured over this for the years and years he spent in college.
Now before we get to that, we’ll need to visit a girl. This girl was anything but ordinary. Her name was Diane. She loved the ocean as much as, if not more than, Walter. The two rivaled each other with every assignment they were given. They always had identical test scores and were co-valedictorians as they graduated. In the following months after they’re graduation, they began to date. This moved quickly as Walter asked Diane if she would like to help him with his project. Without hesitation, she said yes. So, they began working on something that would be sure to set them apart from anyone else trying to get a job at…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Advanced Idea Mechanics?” Diane asked.
”Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of great things about them.”
“Alright. Let’s do this!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took them a little over a year to fully develop a reasonable idea. They took their idea to Advanced Idea Mechanics and got enough funding for a prototype. During the building time, Walter proposed to Diane and they were set to marry the next summer. With everything coming up in spades, Walter felt like he was finally making a name for himself. His once rival was now his best friend and fiancé. His passion turned into his job and without his knowing, there was another surprise that Diane was hiding from him until they finished their prototype.
A few months after they had begun, Walter and Diane had a finished prototype of their idea. A suit that would allow divers to go even further than a submarine could. This suit, with modifications they had planned if they got funding to make a second version, would be able to aid the diver in swimming faster and breathing fresh air longer. All of this had the organization’s head, Mister Benton, very intrigued. So much so that he granted them a green light on the project. So with the necessary funding, material, and extra hands, the duo began planning the development of the…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“’Project Stingray’.”
”Why Stingray?”
“I’ve always had a love of the creature. They’re very much so like humans. Each has their own personality and their own distinct features. Stingrays are remarkable beings.”
”Alright, let’s do this.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team focused on building one suit to showcase that they could indeed make this thing a reality. While this was going on, Diane let Walter in on a little secret she had kept from him for almost a month. This was the fact that she was pregnant. Walter became overjoyed and ran through the building’s corridors screaming and jumping for joy. He was happier than he had ever been… unfortunately, happier than he would ever be…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The Stingray suit, built to last in the depths of the ocean. The world record for the deepest human dive is just over a thousand feet, and with the aid of this suit you can go double or even triple that. The lightweight material this armor is made of can survive the extreme pressures of the deep blue.” Diane says as she unveils a red and black diving suit. She looks over at her boss and smiled as his mouth was wide open in shock.
“That’s impressive. We know that for sure?” Mister Benton replies with slight concern.
“Well…” Diane begins to speak but is cut off by Walter.
”Well we’ve yet to test it, but there’s a very slim chance that our calculations are off.”
“I want it tested before I pitch this to the board.” Mister Benton turns around and walks out of the lab.
“Alright, let's do... (cough! Cough!)” Diane walks over to a table while suffering a coughing fit.
”Are you okay?” Walter says as he places his hand on his fiancé’s back.
“Yeah, it’s just my... (cough!)”
”We’ve got to get you home.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”So that’s why I’m doing this.” Walter said to his boss with a muffled sigh.
“Doing what?” His boss quickly answered.
”Why I’m leaving.” Walter took a deep breath as he held back tears. ”I’m taking an early leave to be with my wife. She’s dying and I need to be with her.”
“Y’know you can still work here, right?” Benton says as he stands up from his chair and walks over to the side of the desk Walter sits at.
”I know.” Walter looks down at his shoes. ”I just want to be with her right now.”
“I understand. Listen, if… when you want to come back, you’ve got your job.” Mister Benton outreaches his hand and smiles as Walter takes his hand and shakes it firmly.
”Th-thanks.” Walter says as he gets up from his seat and makes his way to the door. He pauses just before the door and turns around as Mister Benson speaks.
“Good-bye, Mister Newell.”
”Good-bye.” Walter opens the door and leaves. He begins his drive back to his house to be with his newborn child and his ill wife. Just as everything began to feel right, it all went wrong…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”Take his wife. That’ll give him reason enough to continue his work.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(NOTES:)
"Who the heck is Stingray?" You may be asking. Well, that's a fair question. I'll tell ya who he is.
He's a character that I think doesn't get as much love as he could. Sure he showed up in Deadpool's "heroes for money" run, but I wanted to show him some real good love. Perfect explanation, right? Thought so...
I actually planned to introduce him in Deadpool but since I dropped Deadpool I decided I would make him my new role (hopefully).
So I hope y'all enjoy this and I hope I get the role. :D
This is one of two photographs from 2002 showing Louis Sanderson motor engineers toward the end of it's time operating under the family name which dates back to the 1930's.
I'm assuming fuel sales ended at least five years prior to this photo being taken when there was still quite a high demand for four star petrol. I do believe the three pumps on show are Gilbarco highlines dating back from the 1970's which appear to all have panels for selecting different grades of petrol so I'm almost certain that 2/3/4 star petrol would have been available at one point.
There appears to be two older pumps one of the left of the forecourt and the other on the right under the floodlight which were probably diesel pumps but cannon confirm this.
I'm not sure if the garage was still trading around this time despite two cars on the forecourt.
Today this is Mellors Garage which has operated under this name since 2005/2006

iss059e016770 (April 8, 2019) --- Expedition 59 Flight Engineer David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency participates in a six-and-a-half hour spacewalk with NASA astronaut Anne McClain (out of frame). The spacewalkers successfully established a redundant path of power to the Canadian-built robotic arm, known as Canadarm2, and installed cables to provide for more expansive wireless communications coverage outside the orbital complex, as well as for enhanced hardwired computer network capability. The duo also relocated an adapter plate from the first spacewalk in preparation for future battery upgrade operations.
Built in 1916, following the sinking of The Titanic in 1912, to commemorate all the marine engineers who died in shipping disasters.

South Shore Engineer Paul Barnes has 33's controller on the post as we head to Chicago in April 1975.
Paul had quite a career with the South Shore. He started in 1939 in the B&B dept. then off to WWll in the Navy, came back in 1945 as a collector. He went off to Korea and came back in 1953 and entered Engine Service, and worked freight for 10 years straight. He ran everything the South Shore had, from Steeple Cabs to 700's, 800's Orange cars and made the transition to the new cars and retired in 1988. He passed away a few years ago. A real Railroader!
