The SD40-2s served the C&NW well all over their railroad from their purchase on into Union Pacific ownership. I certainly saw a lot of them. The 6847 retains its original "stagecoach yellow", the attendant nicks and rust are just how the units that hadn't cycled through the paint shop looked in the last years of the C&NW. Pulling past the signal and through the switches it gains speed with its first coach train trip of the day. August 10, 2024.

-- How you turned my world, you precious thing.
You starve and near-exhaust me.
Everything I've done, I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one.
You've run so long..you've run so far.
Your eyes can be so cruel...just as I can be so cruel, though I do believe in you... --

How is it possible that he looks so grown up and big here? When did this happen? I certainly didn't see it coming. He is getting so big so quickly. This mama wants to freeze him and savor this babyness just a bit longer.

Made in Russia, 1960s or thereabouts. The usual hi-fi test instructions in English. There just *have* to be coded messages on there, right?
Incidentally, this is the only hi-fi test record I've had that actually alerted me to the fact that my speakers were out of phase. Hoorah!
Edit: turns out it was released in 1972, sez Discogs
Well, here is one of my favorite spots in Marbella! Lounging on the beach furniture, with a long cool drink, watching the sea, under the sun, at a beach bar called Trocadero!
Stencil as seen outside the old Lincoln Inn in Dublin. Maybe they're referring to the Lincoln Inn. It used to have a pool table in the basement, which was cool.
This message has spread all over the world: this is the Dublin variation.
I was going to set up a group, purely for this message, but there's already one there:

How on earth did this architectural design printed in Vienna find its way to a thrift shop in Long Beach, Washington?
Title
Der Moderne Zimmermann I. — literally “The Modern Carpenter I.”
It’s a plate from a trade/pattern portfolio meant for carpenters and joiners, showing model structures and ornament they could build and paint. The “I.” indicates the first series/part.
Imprint (lower right)
“Verlag von Friedr. Wolfrum & Co., Wien u. Leipzig.”
That is Friedrich Wolfrum & Co., Publishers, Vienna and Leipzig, an Austro-German house that around 1895–1910 issued many architect’s pattern books and Jugendstil/Secession design portfolios for builders, cabinetmakers, metalworkers, etc.
What the plate shows
A small timber garden pavilion / kiosk / veranda front—a light, display-like façade intended for a summerhouse or conservatory. At top right a vignette gives a side elevation, and the strip along the bottom gives plan/joinery hints, confirming the “for carpenters” audience.
Structure
Steep gable with a tall finial and rhythmic, bracket-like rafter tails.
Symmetrical front: glazed central door with sidelights, a square-paned transom, and a semi-circular clerestory window set into the gable.
Vertical boarding between a timber frame; a broad base plinth.
Everything is conceived as painted carpentry, not masonry—typical of garden architecture.
Decorative scheme (Jugendstil / Vienna Secession)
The decoration fuses whiplash curves with crisp geometry, the hallmark of Central-European Art Nouveau:
Curvilinear, plant-stem panels rise in S-curves along the flanking bays—classic Jugendstil “whiplash” lines (think Victor Horta or Henry van de Velde) translated into cut and painted wood strips.
A chain of roundels with stylized blossoms runs under the eaves and across the lower panels—graphic, almost printed-poster ornament.
Checkerboard squares (tiny black-and-white grids) mark the post joints and frieze breaks—an unmistakable Vienna Secession motif associated with Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser; it also echoes Otto Wagner’s geometric surface patterning.
The semi-circular gable window is divided into a tight orthogonal grid: geometric rationality set within an organic outline—another Secessionist juxtaposition.
Color: warm salmon/orange framing, butter-yellow infill, and grey-green glazing—a restrained, poster-like palette typical of turn-of-the-century Secession graphics.
How it fits on the Continent
In the German-speaking world this synthesis of chalet carpentry with modern ornament was promoted in trade portfolios titled exactly like this: Der Moderne Zimmermann (“The Modern Carpenter”), Der Moderne Tischler (“…Joiner”), etc., aimed at upgrading everyday garden architecture, bandstands, kiosks, and storefronts.
The Vienna Secession influence shows in the squared grids, checkerboards, and planar, board-on-frame construction—close to Hoffmann’s and Moser’s designs for the Wiener Werkstätte (c. 1903–09) and Otto Wagner’s geometric decoration.
The whiplash vines and floral roundels connect it to broader Jugendstil tendencies in Munich and Darmstadt (compare pavilions on the Mathildenhöhe artists’ colony, 1901–08), while the timber expression and polychromy keep one foot in the Swiss/German “chalet” garden-house tradition.
Similar illustrated pavilions appear in French and Belgian Art Nouveau, but those tend to use iron and glass; the all-wood, painted treatment here is distinctly Central European and trade-book oriented.
Purpose
The ornamental joinery detail strip at the bottom of the plate appears less a functional building guide than a sophisticated visual allusion to the publication’s purpose. Rather than providing a buildable plan, it gestures toward the world of workshop execution, signaling that this is a trade-oriented design while remaining largely symbolic.
This kind of stylized flourish was typical of folios like Der Moderne Zimmermann, which were aimed at skilled carpenters looking for inspiration and stylistic direction, not construction-ready blueprints. The presence of the Roman numeral “I.” in the title suggests the plate was originally part of a larger loose-leaf portfolio series—likely the first in a sequence issued by Friedrich Wolfrum & Co., a major Viennese and Leipzig-based publisher of Secession-era design books and pattern sheets for tradesmen.
While such firms did not typically sell detailed architectural plans by mail, they did disseminate these richly printed plates—often chromolithographs—as catalogues of ornament and facade design, which could be ordered individually or by the set.
The paper backing seen here is consistent with later mounting practices for display or preservation, not an original element. Altogether, the plate represents a hybrid of trade instruction, artistic elevation, and commercial enticement—a showcase of what the “modern carpenter” could aspire to produce at the height of the Jugendstil and Vienna Secession movements.
Date
Based on the publisher, title formula, and the hybrid Jugendstil/Secession vocabulary (curves plus checkerboards and grids), an approximate date of 1900–1908 is very likely. If forced narrower, c. 1902–1906 fits the peak moment when Viennese geometric restraint was being broadcast to carpenters through precisely these plates.
In short
It’s a turn-of-the-century Jugendstil/Secession garden pavilion design, issued in a carpenter’s model portfolio by Friedrich Wolfrum & Co. (Vienna & Leipzig), marrying whiplash floral lines to Secessionist checkerboards and grids—an instructional, ready-to-copy façade for a light timber structure, c. 1902–1906.

Hard to believe it was over six years ago when I took this picture. May 23, 2018, found Jim Burd, Gary Clark, and myself out at Pinola, IN on Norfolk Southern's Chicago Line. Our original intent was to catch NS's business train with the beautiful F's in charge. That was accomplished in the first 30 seconds that we were there. Stunned by how quickly that magic moment came and went, we burst into laughter, wondering what we were going to do with the rest of the day. Thankfully, we didn't laugh for long, for here came this stunning subject, a 60W , led by a very clean warbonnet, the 4712. Now, some people will complain that this isn't a real warbonnet, that it's lettered for the BNSF. I don't care, it looked pretty good to me, and fake or not, I'm going to shoot it and like it.

I was rather intrigued by this creek and its many fences, of one sort or another. I mean, how many do you need?
