Meet Charlie. She's around 10 weeks old and maybe a pit/healer mix. Look at those ears. I apologize in advance for my stream turning into an All Charlie Experience for a bit.
I had been hoping to include City of Dragons, being the latest release in Robin Hobb's body of works, as another body parts entry.
A few bookstores here are now listing it as available, but it aint in the shops i can access. So much for the Feb 7th release date :(
Tucked away inside the main museum building at Swanwick, Midland Railway Centre, on the 16th February 2017 is Class 02 diesel hydraulic shunter D2858.
Locomotive History
D2858 was built by the Yorkshire Engine Company and entered traffic in December 1960. This class of twenty locomotives would fall victim of the mass diesel shunter withdrawals which commenced just before the end of steam on British Rail in 1968. The first five to be withdrawn were D2861/62/63/68/69 all condemned in December 1969. Unlike most of the small classes of diesel shunters, four class 02 actually survived long enough to be allocated 1973 TOPS numbers although only three survived long enough to carry them briefly before withdrawal in the summer of 1975 . D2858 was initially allocated to Newton Heath MPD transferring to Bank Hall in July 1963, Speke Junction in October 1966, Newton Heath in January 1968 and finally Longsight in July 1968 from where it was withdrawn in February 1970. Following withdrawal it was sold for further service and for the next thirty years was in industrial service initially at Hutchinson Estate & Dock Co., Widnes followed by Fisons Fertilizers, Widnes from 1978, Lowton Metals, Newton Le Willows from 1981 and Lowton Metals, Butterley from 1986. It arrived at the Midland Railway Centre in 2002.
I particularly liked this sculpture of a young girl standing on the back of a running horse. Great motion on the sculpture.

I took this and then had zero time to post until 2 days later. I think the triscuts soaked up some of the water from the carrots, because they were...chewy. Oops.

Mark I Brake Corridor First (BFK) M14024 is seen here at the Chasewater Railway on the 21st February 2015.
Vehicle History
M14024 is one of only twenty eight Mark I Brake Corridor First (BFK) vehicles built and is thus a rare type of Mark I coaching stock. The type was introduced in 1959 and the twenty eight vehicles were built in five batches with E14023 being the second vehicle of the final batch of five vehicles (14023 - 14027) built at Swindon works in 1963 to lot 30718. This batch of five differed from the earlier batches in that they were built with a revised roof pattern with a straight row of vents over the compartments, whereas the previous batches had the more typical zig-zag pattern of vents. Also the vents used were the latter scallop dome type. When built it was vacuum braked and steam heated but has gained both dual heating and dual brakes during its career. It is mounted on Commonwealth bogies which it was fitted with from new. It was renumbered 17024 during the early 1980’s. It was initially allocated to the London Midland Region but had transferred to the Scottish Region by 1978 and was allocated to Inverness in 1988. It entered preservation in 1990 and was based at Dairycoates until 1995 when it moved to the Great Central Railway. Following a spell at the Binbrook Technology Park, Lincolnshire (formerly RAF Binbrook) it arrived at the Chasewater Railway in 2002.
B1 Class 4-6-0 61264 approaches the demonstration platform at Barrow Hill working the passenger shuttle, 16th February 2008.
Locomotive History
61264 was built at the Hyde Park, Glasgow works of the North British Locomotive Company and entered traffic in December 1947 as 1264, allocated to Parkeston Quay. MPD. Following a general overhaul at Stratford works in November 1960, 61264 was transferred to Colwick in Nottingham. It was to remain there for the rest of its working life. In November 1965 61264 was condemned however it was transferred to the departmental fleet for stationary boiler duties and became Departmental Locomotive No 29. It remained on these duties until July 1967 and I use to see this engine as No.29 on Colwick when I was a lad. It was finally sold for scrap to Woodham Bros. of Barry, South Wales in March 1968. In 1973 a group of enthusiasts from North London, who later former the Thompson B1 Trust bought 61264 for £6325. It was the eighty third engine to leave Barry for preservation when it left for the Great Central Railway in July 1976. On March 6th 1997, 1264, for the first time in over thirty years, moved under its own steam
