I don't know what is the point anymore as part of the wall is missing. 😅 Well I don't know what is it with me as I always have to put this red torch light in to these fire places...
For thousands of District 18 residents, the K-7 is the last word in cheap dependable transportation. It is quite inexpensive, and small enough to weave through dense traffic. It uses manually controlled steering vanes and a simple thruster and hoverpads for reliability and serviceability. The bike is built around a basic alloy frame, and components can be easily swapped to customize the bike for numerous applications.

Built for the LEGO Speeder Bike contest. Things are heating up over there, go check it out!

The prefab LEGO bike parts are really handy for small speeder bikes in that they have structure which can pass between a minifig's legs, but I tend to think that the LEGO motorcycle frames have been pretty well played out by better builders than me. At the beginning of the contest though, I realized that I hadn't seen a speeder bike built on the bicycle frame, so that's where the inspiration for this came from. Then of course two excellent entries were submitted using that frame... so much for originality.
Anyway, I've been tinkering with this one since the beginning of the month. My goals were to make it as motorcycle shaped and functional looking as possible.
Critique and suggestions welcome.
A return via the archives only , but a return none the less to
Knole and just a section as seen from the deer park .
A tiny section of Knole just to show the concentration of building work within it's itself .
Knole feels almost weighed down by its own history – six centuries of it. People are often impressed by all the absolutes of Knole: its enormous size, the number of rooms, its completeness. But those who live, work and visit here love its quiet dignity, its almost melancholy feel – the grandeur has passed but its old, glinting beauty remains.
What we see today is a remarkably preserved and complete early Jacobean remodelling of a medieval archiepiscopal palace. From an even older manor house, it was built and extended by the Archbishops of Canterbury after 1456. It then became a royal possession during the Tudor dynasty when Henry VIII hunted here and Elizabeth I visited.
From 1603, Thomas Sackville made it the aristocratic treasure house for the Sackville family, who were prominent and influential in court circles. Knole's showrooms were designed to impress visitors and to display the Sackville family’s wealth and status.
Over more than 400 years, his descendants rebuilt and then furnished Knole in two further bursts of activity. First, at the end of the 17th century, when the 6th Earl acquired Stuart furniture and textiles from royal palaces, and again at the end of the 18th century, with the 3rd Duke's art collection.
The Sackvilles gradually withdrew into the heart of the house, leaving many rooms unused and treasures covered. This helps to explain the relative lack of modernisation at Knole (central heating was never installed in the showrooms, for example) and the survival of its collections.
Knole has been welcoming visitors to see its splendours and curiosities for centuries. We know that visitors have followed the same route as you do today for at least the last 400 years.
There's a popular myth that Knole is a calendar house - with 365 rooms, 52 staircases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards. While fascinating, the reality is that it all depends on how you count the rooms and Knole is such a large, rambling estate that it would be impossible to say for certain.
When the National Trust acquired the house in 1946, the majority of the rooms were leased back to the Sackville family, with the Trust retaining the more formal spaces. The 7th Baron Sackville and his family still live at Knole today in private apartments.
Now, visitors can experience so many different parts of Knole, from the grand showrooms to the cosy Gatehouse Tower, the tranquil Orangery to the sweeping parkland. Discover the vast estate and all it has to offer, home to a world-class collection of portraits and furniture, a state-of-the-art conservation studio and a wild deer herd. There really is something for everyone at Knole.

The heating plant of Ljubljana Moste, Slovenia, still a great pollution problem of its surroundings.
That tube fitted bleow the window is one of two heaters which are controlled by a thermostate. The white board on the floor is the table top for my sewing machine...just trying it for size
Wroxeter Roman City near Shrewsbury on Monday 17th July 2023. The hypocaust system was part of the bathhouse’s two thousand year old under floor heating, however, the pilae stacks seen here are modern replicas as many of the originals were stolen by Victorian souvenir hunters.
45102 stands in the “Scarborough” platform at York with a westbound service, 14th May 1983.
A rather drab non-descript Agfacolour CT18 transparency significantly improved in my view by converting to black and white.
Locomotive History
45102 was originally D51 and was to have been constructed at Derby works, but the order for D50 - D67 was transferred to Crewe works and D51 was delivered during 1962 to Cricklewood MPD. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and 51 was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works as 45102 in May 1973. Withdrawn at the end of the summer timetable in September 1986 and broken up by Vic Berry at Leicester in October 1988.

Composition has taken a back seat here unless I wanted to include the range of “interesting” vehicles in the car park, which I doubt. On a grey summer Saturday morning 25308+25314 have arrived at platform 1 Nottingham with what I suspect is 1E47, 07:52 Leicester – Scarborough, 21st August 1976. Alas a trip to the seaside for the Class 25’s is not to be as they were replaced by 47175 for the run to Scarborough.
Locomotive History
25308 was originally D7658 and was built by Beyer-Peacock at their Gorton Works, Manchester, entering traffic in July 1966. The Beyer-Peacock batch of Class 25’s started at D7624 and was originally for a total of fifty four locomotives. However, Beyer Peacock subsequently entered liquidation and asked to be relieved of the D7660-7677 batch (that were subsequently built by Derby Works) thereby making D7658 the penultimate locomotive built by Beyer Peacock. 25308 would survive in traffic until October 1983 and was broken up at Swindon Works during December 1984. 25314 was originally D7664 and therefore one of the Beyer Peacock batch built at Derby Works, entering traffic in November 1966. It remained in traffic until March 1983 when it was withdrawn and converted to a non powered electric train heating unit and numbered 97252. It survived in this role until the early 1990’s and was eventually broken up during August 1994 by MC Metals, Glasgow.

Cracow is one of the most poluted cities in Europe. There are about 20 000 of stoves in Cracow and 2 times more in surroundings. The city has launched an exchange program of stoves. Heating coal and wood will be banned in 2019.
Within a week, the summer temperatures have plummeted from 27° to 12°. Time to switch on Minnie's heating pad. Her favourite thing to do with it is to warm her 16-year-old hips.
This was a really fat heating and air conditioning duct in Seattle's Hyatt at Olive 8 hotel. It was so shiny I just had to play with it! :D
The laziest entry I've ever done for a contest. The shame is unbearable.
Made in a couple hours as a Bio-cup entry for the eliminatories.
A couple more pics there

Hi, so yes I am alive. RL has just been a real pain in the butt lately but I'm slowly getting back to normal, it's been alot of prepping for my Mother to move while I stay back, work issues etc you know the drill!
But I am slowly re-pacing myself even if it is slowly.
Future updates about the blog will be coming soon so keep an eye out if you are interested and if you are not...pretty pictures will be popping up!

There are two ways that I see this building. I actually have classes in it, it's where all the 3D art happens; metals, ceramics, bronzing, etc. This image shows that I see it as old, dirty, and a treasure. And I also see it as funky, a best kept secret, and classic.

The first of the new 9 storey "Slab Blocks" inspired by Corbusier's Unite d'habitation (1949) fitted with electric underfloor heating - since decommissioned - the flying roofs in themselves inspired the roof style of the Swimming Baths (1964-66) as well as the crossbeam supports under the city's ring road (1962-70)
Refurbished in 2011.
