The locomotive built to lead a nation at war.
A build long in the making...for well over a year and spanning many life changes that attempted to derail this project, Union Pacific #844 finally emerges from my workshop.
UP #844 has captured my imagination since childhood, appearing in several mini-series, TV shows and ads from the early 1990’s. With a sleek body, brutish flat face, high stepping drivers and enormous smoke deflectors, it embodies every definition of monstrous speed and power.
Manufactured by the American Locomotive Company and delivered to UP in 1944 to accommodate both wartime traffic and the projected increase in passenger service after the war, #835-844 were built upon the nearly perfected FEF-1 and FEF-2 series of locomotives delivered between 1937-1939. The entire FEF-3 series proved to be a masterpiece of design and was continuously called upon to lead top priority freight and passenger service.
#844 was delivered on a cold December day in 1944 as the final steam locomotive ever received by UP. Truly an unsleeping giant, #844 is the only steam locomotive of any American Class 1 railroad that has never been struck from the roster. Throughout her revenue career, she headed express freight, fast mail, and the most prestigious passenger trains of the central high plains and mountainous west – The Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited, Portland Rose, and Pony Express.
Fitted with 80-inch drivers and a 300 psi operating boiler pressure, #844 generates 63,800 lbs of tractive effort. She was designed to comfortably haul a 1,000-ton train at 100 mph and would regularly run at 120 mph.
Significant research was put into this model. Before even laying out the frame I had compiled an 80-year timeline documenting every minor, and major, upgrade, repainting, and alteration. I had one specific goal in mind: to capture her high-speed passenger service essence. As such, I have modeled her exactly as she would have appeared in April of 1949 – oil burning, with a Sellers exhaust steam injector and painted in the famous two-tone gray of Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Gray. I am proud to say that this is one of the most accurate representations of a two-tone gray FEF-3 in the modeling world.
This model is 8-wide and precisely 1:48 scale. #844 represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam and I want this model to represent nothing less. It is powered by two L power function motors in a 1:1 gear ratio so that she has both high tractive effort and can travel at high speed. The tender is fitted with a power functions control switch and two V2 IR receivers, one dedicated to each motor, powered by a 20c 7.4V Turnigy battery.
I design all my models with usability in mind. That being said, due to the #844’s unavoidable long legs, the locomotive can technically snake its way through R56 curves but is much happier with R120. I will pride myself in saying that the tender can navigate R40 due to my engineering of a unique design to conquer the flexibility challenges that plagues centipede tenders.
Custom wheels and drivers were sourced from Brick Train Depot and Breckland Bricks while the Walschaerts valve gear is from Trained Bricks. I want to particularly thank Monty’s Trains who designed and printed all stickers you see on this model. Monty also provided the technical experience that allowed me to upgrade from a standard Lego battery pack to the vastly superior LiPo world.
I strive to make my models both detailed and accessible. As such, instructions ARE available for this model in both two-tone gray and black (accurately dated to July 1954). Additionally, both liveries come with simple and complex valve gear instructions.
Today known as The Living Legend, UP #844 is the last of a great breed and represents the absolute apex of duel-service steam as one of the most powerful, prestigious and well-engineered Northern type locomotives of all time.
I feel extremely grateful to the Union Pacific Steam Team for ensuring that, through unquantifiable amounts of continuous labor, #844’s clock is not approaching twilight, but held at dawn. She is poised to travel the high iron for time eternal, forever roaring across the heartland plains and into the rising sun.
Thank you everyone for taking time to read this post, I greatly appreciate your questions, comments and praise. This model represents the end of a personal era, and I appreciate all the encouragement and support that I received from the community along the way. Railroading and Lego modeling are my passions, and I am happy to be part of these growing communities.

This is a photograph from the second round of the Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 14th May 2014 at 20:00. The race follows the roads and trails around Belvedere and is a very testing 5KM route. The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Over 380 people took part in tonight's event. The weather was much improved on last week with warm and mild conditions for the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Này chị, thỉnh thoảng chúng mình cũng phải cà phê
Buôn dăm câu chuyện lê thê dài cả nghìn năm không hết
Về cái đám bắt chúng mình yêu chúng đến phát mệt
Lại cả chuyện mai sẽ nấu món gì...
Chị cho em xem ảnh ngày con gái có thì
Mái tóc chị dài, đen và mượt
Cả nụ cười, dáng còn son, tha thướt
- Cũng mấy chục năm rồi, nhưng vẫn đủ để em nhận ra chị, phải không?
- Ừ, ngày con gái má chúng mình hồng
Bởi vậy, chồng chúng mình mới cho mình chạy tọt vào tim hắn
Nói như mẹ của bạn em thì chưa biết đứa nào là người may mắn
Bởi chúng mình cũng là ngọc, là vàng của bố mẹ mình đấy thôi!
Thỉnh thoảng chúng mình nên cà phê, kệ cho thời gian trôi
Cho đám chúng mình yêu phải chờ đợi mình thêm ít phút
Suốt cả tuần mình chăm đám ấy từng ly, từng chút
Thì một khoảng thời gian ta tự thưởng cho mình liệu có đáng là bao?
Mùa đông ngoài kia vẫn có nắng xôn xao
Ở trong này là những tách cà phê chạm vào nhau ấm nóng
( Cà phê một buổi dù là lâu hay chóng
Thì chúng mình vẫn phải đứng trước gương ).
Này chị, này em, đôi má vẫn hường
Và ánh mắt , bàn tay... dừng lại ở màu son thắm đỏ
Chỉ đôi câu, mình thì thầm, to nhỏ...
Một chút thời gian để chị hay em vẫn là mình của những lúc xưa.
[ Cà phê mỗi tuần ]
I tried (twice!) to get you a picture, Sweetie, but light, my phone and a real lack of time to mess with it conspired against me.
Nonetheless, I am CLEARLY dressed like you today--bow? Check. (And check and check, if you count the shoes.) Wide-leg trousers? Check. Vest? Check. Statement shoes? Check.
I'm not wearing any makeup and only one of my hands' nails are painted (ha!) so... don't feel too SWF'd yet.

A Prayer for Abortion Victims
Prayer for all victims of abortion. May those involved in abortions be reconciled to God and may the innocent dead be saved.
Holy Mother of God and of the Church, our Lady of Guadalupe, you were chosen by the Father for the Son through the Holy Spirit.
You are the Woman clothed with the sun who labors to give birth to Christ while Satan, the Red Dragon, waits to voraciously devour your child.
So too did Herod seek to destroy your Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and massacred many innocent children in the process.
So today does abortion killing many innocent unborn children and exploiting many mothers in its attack upon human life and upon the Church, the Body of Christ.
Mother of the Innocents, we praise God in you for His gifts to you of your Immaculate Conception, your freedom from actual sin; your fullness of grace, your Motherhood of God and the Church, your Perpetual Virginity and your Assumption in body and soul into heaven.
O Help of Christians, we beg you to protect all mothers of the unborn and the children within their wombs. We plead with you for your help to end the holocaust of abortion. Melt hearts so that life may be revered!
Holy Mother, we pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all mothers and all unborn children that they may have life here on earth and by the most Precious Blood shed by your Son that they may have eternal life with Him in heaven. We also pray to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart for all abortionists and all abortion supporters that they may be converted and accept your Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Defend all of your children in the battle against Satan and all of the evil spirits in this present darkness.
We desire that the innocent unborn children who die without Baptism should be baptized and saved. We ask that you obtain this grace for them and repentance, reconciliation and pardon from God for their parents and their killers.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite power of merciful love. May it put an end to evil. May it transform consciences. May your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. May Christ the King reign over us, our families, cities, states, nations and the whole of humanity.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary, hear our pleas and accept this cry from our hearts!
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose of Tepayac, Pray for us!

These are Basic JPEG images unedited (I did put them in lightroom for numbering) Right out of camera to create a day of slide show at the wedding. RAW files will be processed later. I mainly shoot with a 200mm F2 VRII lens to create my buttery smooth backgrounds. Usually they are shot wide open. Saturdays wedding went from 8 am to midnight so typically lugging my 200 for lack of better words kicks my butt. I loved the output of this lens. A lot of people on youtube have been saying that the 85 1.4 or tamron are better buys or bang for the buck but come on. As a professional we charge a bride to hopefully give them the best quality. I would shoot with the Zeiss lenses if they were auto focus. So for the output I received VS the cost this is a no brainer. Almost as good an output as the 200 F2 at 1/3 the cost and 1/3 the weight. I'm also not a Nikon Homer. I love the Sigma Art 50 1.4 and use to love the Sigma 35 1.4 but have had calibration issues with it lately. Need to do some fine tuning to bring it back into my shooting bag. I will, time permitting, do a real world comparison of the 105 1.4 vs the 200 f2 viii. Thanks,

For my 7,001st post, here is my favourite bus of all time ex London transport RT54 with Smiths of Reading, later preserved and still around but in an unknown conditon along with sister vehicle RT44.
Let me introduce you my new outfit made with reverie for Alicia. She want something around my Little Red Riding Hood... So I plan to make a new variation of this theme, with a lot of assorted machine embroideries by combining some designs.
This set include a dress, a corseted over-dress, removable puffed sleeves, a jacket, a petticoat and socks.
Here, you can see:
- The corseted over-dress, fully lined, cut in a wonderful dark shot cotton "Moor" (weaving of burgundy and emerald green threads). These piece is edged by an assortment of embroidery, trims and lace. Tiny gold eyelets and a satin ribbon lacing make the back closure.
- The apron made of antique lace lined with cotton muslin, also trimmed with tiny flowers on a scalloped spring green ribbon. A row of teal Miyuki beads highlights the top of the waistband.
- The dress made of antique white Dimity cotton fabric. All edges were trimmed with small floral embroidery and the front buttonholes band is enhanced with lace and gold metal tiny beads.
- The petticoat made of cotton muslin edged and adorned by airy french lace and red ribbon.
- The assorted embroidery socks.
I take this opportunity to introduce you an other of my new dolls customized by me during the past months.
Her name is "My Alice".
I used a FBL Ambrosial Blythe with a Jenna scalp I bought especially to become Alice.
Work done:
· Carving of her nose, lips and philtrum
· New full makeup made with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier and sealed with several layers of MSC
· Sleepy eyes
· Gaze corrected
· New lashes
· Eyelids painted with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier
· Four new pairs of eye chips hand painted by me using professional Golden iridescent fluid acrylics. Light Aqua (right), Light red (center), Hazelnut (left), Moss green (center)
