Within those drawers were bakery-fresh cookies, doughnuts, brownies, cakes and other treats. The bright levers down the center were used to disengage the catches that normally held the drawers closed. Loaves of bread were stowed upon the shelves above. A sliding chalkboard in front of the shelves could be used to announce daily specials. A second sliding panel allowed covering the shelves completely across.
In the upper right was the lever by which the Helmsman was able to sound the distinctive whistle by activating a roof-mounted bellows. The driver's seat could be swung forward as shown in order to create more working space as the customer stepped into the cab to make selections.
Here's a video explaining a bit more, narrated by Ralph Story, KNXT (now KCBS) Channel 2's wonderful presenter of historic things of Los Angeles and Southern California:
I have spent many holidays at this grand old farmhouse, at all times of the year. I just wish it was mine!!
This was the only SD60 from the batch that NS purchased from Helm leasing for the SD60 Program, Here it is seen about to cross Walbridge road between Erie and Harborcreek PA.
"Then a clamour arose in the Deep behind. Orcs had crept like rats through the culvert through which the stream flowed out. There they had gathered in the shadow of the cliffs, until the assault above was hottest and nearly all the men of the defence had rushed to the wall's top. Then they sprang out. Already some had passed into the jaws of the Deep and were among the horses, fighting with the guards.
Down from the wall leapt Gimli with a fierce cry that echoed in the cliffs. 'Khazad! Khazad!' He soon had work enough.
'Ai-oi!' he shouted. 'The Orcs are behind the wall. Ai-oi! Come, Legolas! There are enough for us both. Khazad ai-menu!'
Gamling the Old looked down from the Hornburg, hearing the great voice of the dwarf above all the tumult. 'The Orcs are in the Deep!' he cried. 'Helm! Helm! Forth Helmingas!' he shouted as he leaped down the stair from the Rock with many men of Westfold at his back.
Their onset was fierce and sudden, and the Orcs gave way before them. Ere long they were hemmed in in the narrows of the gorge, and all were slain or driven shrieking into the chasm of the Deep to fall before the guardians of the hidden caves.
'Twenty-one!' cried Gimli. He hewed a two-handed stroke and laid the last Orc
before his feet. 'Now my count passes Master Legolas again.'"

I wanted to make a scene with Gamling, one of my favorite character (only in the book), even if he just appears during Helm's Deep siege. Forth Helmingas !!
The rockwork was pretty fun to do, but long, and I think the render is nice. I was not sure about the curved wall at first, but it's not looking too bad in the picture. Anyway, enjoy, and please comment !
It's March 22 in 2017, but it looks like Spring hasn't sprung yet in northeastern Indiana. In fact, it was only 27 degrees as we watched this Indiana Northeastern grain train roll by in Helmer, IN, There's 59 brand new covered hoopers behind the two six axles up front, an SD40-2 and a former SD45. Both units today wear the sharp black corporate colors.
Helm Crag is illuminated with the first sun of the morning. I took this photo on the descent of a dawn shoot on the summit of Seat Sandal. It's brilliant how the knobbly contours of the mountain are highlighted with the low sun. I was later to climb this hill with my grandson later in the morning.

Sutton Hoo Helmet
The British museum is my favourite museum, and this is my favourite exhibit within it. This is a close up detail of the helmet from the Sutton Hoo Saxon ship burial site near Woodbridge, Suffolk.
The Sutton Hoo ship burial dates to the early 7th century and is one of the most important archaeological finds in England for its size and completeness, far-reaching connections, and the quality and beauty of its contents.
The most popular choice of who was buried at Sutton Hoo has always been Raedwald, who died around AD 625 and had been overlord of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during his life.
The treasure, including the helmet is now housed at the British museum in London. It is stunning, as is the rest of the treasure, and well worth visiting the museum to see. The actual Sutton Hoo site at Woodbridge in Suffolk, England is also excellent, with replicas of the treasures, and plenty to see, including the burial mounds.

Helm's Deep (also known as the Deeping Coomb) was a large valley in the north-western Ered Nimrais (White Mountains). The valley was blocked over its entire width by the natural series of hills called Helm's Dike and behind that lay the fortress of Aglarond or the Hornburg, at the entrance to the Glittering Caves. A long causeway wound up to the great gate of the fortress itself. Inside the keep there were stables and an armoury, as well as a great hall in the rear which was dug out of the mountainside. There also was a great tower the top of which consisted of the great horn of Helm Hammerhand. The Deep which stood next to the fortress was barred by the long Deeping Wall, which consisted of solid rock except for a small culvert which allowed water from the Deeping Stream to enter; this rendered a fresh supply in sieges of great length, though this small weakness would eventually prove to be the wall's undoing. Access to the fortress from within the Deep was made possible by a long stair which led to the Hornburg's rear gate, where there was a massive system of caves behind the fortress.

I always said:'' I am not able to make Helms Deep, it's just to big''. Well, that's true. I made 2 smaller versions of just the Horn Dike and the Gate, but never the whole thing, ( altought I did try to /failed/)
However, I really wanted to give it a try again. Since I have stoped buying Lego, I knew I wouldn't be able to make it on the scale I wanted to. Like this, it's way to small to make it look accurate (to the movie). Anyway, I tried, and really enjoyed it. It doesn't have all the details it should have, and not all part are how they are supposed to be, all because the lack of bricks I needed. But still, I myself quite like the results, even though it is so ''small''. Also, I don't have any of the sets, so I had to use custom figures.
Alright!
So I felt like doing another Lord of the Rings moc and this is what I came up with.
Please don't come up with: It's the same as the other one?
Because it's not
And I do know there are some things that are quite inaccurate accroding to the movie: The Two towers. That means that I couldn't get it right.

This was my initial HELMER bought. I got a second one for a HUGE discount [€25->€9], but it was in grey. So to blend these two together, I exchanged half of the drawers.
Funky and easy.

There's something magical about how the thick fog and clouds shift, unveiling glimpses of the hidden landscape. For example, Helm Crag stands out beautifully here as it breaks through the mist, showcasing the unique shape of The Howitzer summit's rocky outcrop. I find it fascinating how these weather conditions can distort our perception of scale; this could easily be a towering 10,000 feet mountain soaring through the clouds, when in reality Helm Crag is actually just a little over 1,000 feet tall.
