Car parked next to a very lonely building along Roosevelt Road (12th Street). Behind it, where Grace Abbott Homes once stood, is nothing but open space for three city blocks. The building in the background stands on the south side of 15th Street.
De functie van de metersporige lijn van Villablino naar Ponferrada in Noordwest-Spanje (provincie (Léon) was de afvoer van steenkool van de diverse mijnen die aan de spoorlijn waren gelegen. De lijn had de respectabele lengte van 62 kilometer. In 1974 bereed daarnaast een passagierstrein dagelijks het gehele traject.

Edinburgh during the easing of restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic (tier three).
Spaces for People measures on George IV Bridge. These were installed in the Old Town of Edinburgh during the Covid-19 pandemic to provide more space for pedestrians and cyclists. Emergency Traffic Regulation Orders (ETROs) were used throughout Edinburgh to provide extra room for social distancing and cycle lanes.
Although these measures claim to improve mobility, there are complaints they have done the opposite and those with disabilites have been adversely affected. The floating bus stop outside the main central library on this street, and opposite the National Library of Scotland, has been amended. The council say they are no longer installing floating bus stops (they are intrisincally dangerous - particularly for the hearing or sight impaired - and probably contrary to the Equality Act).
The internal auditors gave the implemention of the scheme a 'red' rating in August 2021 (see below). In the wake of this, and the lack of public support for the measures, traffic experts at the council are proposing rebranding Spaces for People as ‘Travelling Safely’. It is also reported the Spaces for People measures on George IV Bridge are to be 'scrapped' although the measures in other areas are to remain (16 Aug 2021).

Alternative infrastructure for cyclists will be put in place - let's hope it is better designed with people with disabilities in mind.
"...council officials said because a new scheme for George IV Bridge/Forrest Road had already been approved by the committee the legal advice was an ETRO could not be used in that case."

The city council belatedly held a consultation on the Spaces for People measures and reported this to the council’s Transport and Environment Committee on 17 June 2021. An Evening News report stated 17,600 people responded to the online public consultation which resulted in "overall opposition for a majority of the proposals except those designed to make school areas safer and less congested."
The Herald reported: "...only 38% of the public support the council’s protected cycle lanes compared to 56% who oppose them. Only 37% of people support measures along shopping streets and 35% back leisure connections." Furthermore businesses overwhelmingly oppose the policy. (Most of the businesses on this street are restaurants and have supplies delivered through their front doors.)

In early August 2021 it emerged Edinburgh City Council's internal auditors had given the council a red rating in relation to the Spaces for people scheme. The auditor's report said there was a lack of consultation with residents and "significant and/or numerous control weaknesses were identified, in the design and/or effectiveness of the control environment and/or governance and risk management frameworks".

The report said the specific measures were based on suggestions from a relatively small group of officers and community stakeholders and the final prioritisation decisions were based the judgment of two of the project team.

(i fully realize that no one is sufficiently interested to actually look up the first three....im not either...theyre in there somewhere....i think)
stay tuned - to be continued........maybe... or not.....
The top view shows best how off the proportions of the sets (both UCS and playscale) are. The corvette is much longer and sleeker than the Lego-models.
In 2016, Hatfield House commemorated the 100th anniversary of the first official tank trials which took place in the Hatfield estate in February 1916. A replica Mark IV tank was on display during the 2016 season.

This happens, when the Lomography Shop offers two cams for the price of one. ;)
The Tantive IV was the last and biggest ship on my micro scale to-do list. Its close to the size of set 75244 but I’ve aimed to give it a lot more detail and accuracy. I've done my best to make sure each hull section is the right size and proportions with as much detail as possible.
The modular hull sections are connected to an internal Technic frame. The ship is strong, pretty easy to pick up (as long as you avoid those fins) and rests firmly on a small stand which can easily be made taller or a different colour. Inside the Technic frame is the ship interior and crew! The two roof sections can be removed to reveal the main corridor which connects the cockpit to the docking bays near the engines. The upper deck also comes off to show a central conference room with engineering corridors and removable escape pods either side. The 4-stud high crew and interior features aren’t to scale sadly, but hopefully they stand out as a nice extra feature for the ship!
This was by far the biggest and heaviest moc I’ve attempted so far, it was a new challenge for me but I really enjoyed the process. I’ve put instructions for this and the Liberator colour scheme on Rebrickable (link below), and thrown in the Millennium Falcon, Ghost and plenty of Rebel Starfighters in the hope that someone likes it enough to make a little Rebel fleet :)
