Threw this together last night. It may look cool, but it's flawed. With how wide those wheels come out, this is more of a 6-wide and a TT. on top of that I'm sure someone else has devised a better way of replicating independant wheels on a TT than this. Hell, someone may have already discovered this method and I just don't know. But I like this so whatever.
I went to the Ellis Creek water treatment park in hopes of finding Cygnets riding on their parents backs. I was happy to find two sets in two different ponds, different ages, but swimming around very 'independent'. As we approached and must have gotten a wee bit too close the daddy did not hesitate to climb out of the pond hissing to ward us off! We backed away immediately!!
If I've missed anyone in my comments, I apologize...half the time I don't know where I've started or left off, everything seems to take so much more time and then it bleepin' times out with some stupid panda!

Ah, Glencoe, the town that's usually the end of the line for the 261s excursions on the TC&W. It's home to a classic Milwaukee Road depot, much of the TC&Ws motive power and other equipment, as well as an old grain elevator that reads 'Independent Elev.' across its sides. A wonderful thing to get in the frame, you'd think - hey, I'm from the midwest, we like our elevators.
As trackspeed dropped significantly, we had lots of time to pick a spot, but nowhere I stood satisfied me enough. Going wide? Didn't quite cut it. Telesmash? It's just the crossing cantilevers. I decided to hell with it and to play it real, real simple with a wide angle parking lot shot. The engine hadn't been throwing up much smoke or steam through the day, so that would at least fit the elevator between the cantilevers. Of course, when the 261 did actually cut through the light rain and hit the crossing, it did indeed smoke things up for once. Hah, such as it goes.
I think my partner here was rather surprised as to how much indecision I had in picking a spot and how casually myself - and others - crossed the roads back and forth here. Kind of funny, to be honest.

This diesel generator was purchased expecting the need for additional power for a planned new mineral concentrator in Sandon. This unit installed to run in parallel, independent or as a backup to the existing hydroelectric plant. The Blackstone Engine Company of Stamford, England was contracted to supply the engine, generators and control panels. The engine is still serviceable and runs on special occasions during the year.
The Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, dating from 1865, is a fine example built in the Norman style in local stone. Its architect was Samuel Sanders Teulon. He was of Huguenot descent, born in 1812 at Greenwich, setting up in independent practice in 1838, and being constantly in demand until he died in 1873.
Teulon's earlier designs were generally in Tudor or Elizabethan styles, but he later became a supporter of the Gothic revival; he also restored and recast many Churches. It was J.J. Maberly, of Hawkley Hurst, for whom he had previously designed a house, who commissioned Teulon to build the Church. It is in stone after a simple design in the Norman style; and the tower is a ? Rhenish Helm?, more usually found on the continent, though there is a fine medieval example at Sompting in Sussex. It is not known what were the reasons for the design being used here, nor indeed for any of the designs for the rest of the Church, which are very restrained and must have been entirely different from Teulon's usual style at that date. At all events he has left us a Church which is both suitable to its surroundings, and extremely attractive in itself, and for which we have every reason to be grateful.
The building is cruciform, though the transverse arms terminated by gables containing rose windows, do not extend beyond the ground plan of the aisles. The nave is divided into three bays. The pillars which separate it from the aisles have elaborately carved capitals, the subjects being emblems of our Lord and of the Evangelists. The corbels supporting the open timbered roof are carved into the forms of the trees mentioned in Scripture, the palm, plane, ebony, vine, pomegranate, fig, gourd, olive and rose of Sharon. The corbels in the aisles are angels.
The east window consists of three lights, above which is a circular window. These are memorial windows and filled with painted glass by Ward and Hughes. In the centre is the Ascension, and on either side, the Baptism of Christ and the Last Supper. The rose window above, depicts Christ in majesty. Windows in the aisles contain figures the Twelve Apostles. Photographs depicting the stained glass windows in St Peter and St Paul church can be viewed by clicking on the following link:

Special:
- Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers, William Murphy and Lemuel Bowen called in engineer Henry M. Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and on August 22, 1902, the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
- The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701.
- Cadillac was purchased by the General Motors conglomerate in 1909. Cadillac became General Motors' prestige division, devoted to the production of large luxury vehicles. In the United States, the name became a synonym for "high quality", used in such phrases as "the Cadillac of watches," referring to a Rolex. In English usage outside North America, other brands are used in such phrases - usually Rolls-Royce.
- The Cadillac line was also GM's default marque for "commercial chassis" institutional vehicles, such as limousines, ambulances, hearses, and funeral home flower cars. The latter three of which were custom built by aftermarket manufacturers: Cadillac does not produce any such vehicles in factory.
- The original Series 62 was designed by Harley Earl, inspired by the space program and the era of jet engines. For the ’55 models, he introduced its unique rear-deck styling and outrageous new “Shark Fin” tail fins usually called “Rocket-Ship” tail fins.
- The name "DeVille" is from the French "de la ville" or "de ville" meaning "of the town".
- It came standard with knobby, P-38 inspired tail fins, radio, electric windshield washers, heater, leather interior, full carpeting (also in the trunk area), power seats and power windows.
- This Cadillac was built for comfort and not for speed: it’s a real cruiser and could carry six individuals comfortably.
- The 1956 Cadillac Series 62, with its new gadgets like the head lights would turn on at dusk and were also capable of switching from high beam to low beam when they sensed oncoming traffic, was available as this 56-6237 2-door Sport Coupé, as 56-6239DX 4-door Sedan DeVillle (41,732 units built), as 56-6219 4-door Sedan (26,222 units built), as 56-6237DX 2-door Coupé DeVille (24,086 units built), as 56-6267SX 2-door Eldorado Seville Coupé (3,900 units built), as 56-6267S 2-door Eldorado Biarritz Convertible (2,150 units built) and as 56-6267X 2-door Convertible (8,300 units built).
