An unusually warm spell in the dead of winter.

Trying to show off the bow, and seeing if I managed to fix it close enough to the right place ;)

Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx

I've been raising eBay for bargains again, and this was another jumper I couldn't resist. The fit is loose and baggy but I love the design, lol!

Up on the common again

Good morning everyone, and a glorious Wednesday to you!! A look at the Fort Wayne skyline from a walk bridge over the St. Marys River. Hoping you all have a beautiful day!

Standing in the rain at Barrow Hill on the 15th February 2014 is 84001.

Locomotive History

84001 was originally E3036 and was the initial locomotive of a batch of ten locomotives built between 1960 and 1961 by the North British Locomotive Company, Glasgow with electrical equipment by GEC. These ten locomotives were originally classified as class AL4 and this later became class 84. In the early years the class suffered from major problems with the water cooled mercury arc rectifiers and by 1963 the whole class was recalled for modifications. Whilst this improved the situation the problems with the water cooled mercury-arc rectifiers continued and this resulting in the entire class being stored in 1968. E3036 was stored at Bury along with E3037/39/40/41/44/45. The class was reprieved by the northward extension of the West Coast Main Line electrification and they were refurbished at Doncaster works, being returned to service by the end of 1972. Unfortunately, the troubles were not over and tap changer failures together with traction motor failures resulting from years in storage caused the reliability of the class to be poor. Although attempts were made to improve reliability the traction motors continued to fail and by 1976 British Rail curtailed any further large expenditure on the class. 84001 managed to continue in service until withdrawn in January 1979. Following withdrawal it was sent to the National Railway Museum as part of the 100 Years of Electric Railways Exhibition. Following on from the exhibition it remained at the National Railway Museum and eventually in 1994 it was added to the National Collection. It is a strange quirk of fate that an example of by far the least successful of the AC electric locomotive classes to date should find its way into the National Collection.

At least the driver looked smart. 66054 runs off the Greenford branch with a Calvert-Bow Depot mud lark.

February

The sun is out and Spring is springing. Tied up my reports early and went out for a stroll in the sunshine.

It was a bright Sunday so far, I had such a good long walk :-)

Xocolatl, literally "bitter water" gave us the word chocolate. The original drink was made from ground cocoa powder, chillies, cornmeal and water.

This light, unsweetened cocoa powder came from a wonderful chocolate shop in Basel called Xocolatl, with a tea room where yesterday I had a cup of tea and a large slice of home-made poppy-seed cake. They had an overwhelming choice of chocolate bars and cocoa powders; I limited my choice to packets with an X on them.

Here is a link to the shop:
