The class 15 carriage heating unit information notes that it is unbraked and therefore restricted to a 25mph top speed. I am not sure whether this was strictly adhered to as I saw one moving in a freight a tad faster than that! This one is at it's spiritual home, stabled on Colchester depot, also home to Paxman diesels - the manufacturer of the installed 6 cylinder engine generating a miserly 800hp. The former D8233 is now preserved on the East Lancs Railway.
The Novohradské Mountains are flattish range in the south of the Czech Republic, by the Austrian border. On the Czech side they are girded by the Novohradské Piedmont and are part of the Šumava region.
The geology is dominated by granite and gneiss. The outer slopes are steep; almost all of them of fault origin, scored deeply by creeks.
The central area is level with remnants of flattened surfaces and has shallow valleys with numerous peat bogs.Most of the mountains are forested with spruce, in some places the original beech-fir growth has been preserved (Žofínský Prales National Nature Reserve).
The forced evacuation of the population from this area after World War Two has left its mark upon the landscape. The meadows with fruit trees are overgrown; the ruins of the buildings in villages once full of life are but a sad memory to relatively recent times.

Novohradské hory mountains remain unspoiled and not crowded area that is very suitable for biking and hiking; last time, we stayed in the picturesque Krakovice pension during a sunny pre-spring February prolonged weekend.

Step 3:
Heating vent to cure them backside exposed
The pics in order shows the simple process of doing it and having one of the older vented heating provides the dry heat to cure them and complete the process. In the past I had an old toaster oven that was used for these processes but as it sometimes leaves an unsavory smell so I don't advise it if you're still using the toaster oven for warming food or risk getting the wrath of your better half or family/friends.
A car door stashed between two garages has a tree growing up through the window. A discarded heating oil tank is also jammed in there. I am on a quest to find interesting things in the alleyways in my Cedar Falls, Iowa neighborhood. I'm also interested in hidden places. April 18, 2015
