97/365 (3,3997)
A bit of excitment along the south coast yesterday and today ... 2 extra large loads came through.
They had to travel a distance of 41 miles from the port at Shoreham to the Ninfield electric transformer station. The original plan had been to do the journey in a day ... but they only got as far as Lewes yesterday, just about half way.
Then today we heard they expected to reach Ninfield by 1pm today ... they came through Little Common at about 2pm and got stuck, delaying them another 30 minutes or so.
This was the first of the large loads.
I think they had the whole of the Sussex police force escourting them :)))

37 212 with 08 337 in tow heads south past Colton Junction with a very odd load. The coaches are probably condemned stock with doors and windows missing. The 08 was still in service (wasn't withdrawn until February 1987) and still has its coupling rods attached so this train would have been severly speed restricted even without the brake van on the back indicating an unfitted working. Then there are 2 Dogfish ballast hoppers, one loaded, one empty
Update - information received that the 08 was in the process of transfer from York to Doncaster
Who doesn't like to take a photo of probably THE most popular form of transportation in all of Walt Disney World. This is probably my most photographed form of Disney transportation and I bet I have hundreds of photos, most likely in every color. Is the monorail your favorite. Please enjoy and have a magical day!
I needed a cargo for this truck and it was either going to be a tracked log loader similar to this
(richardsmachinery.us/ads/john-deere-2454-d-tracked-log-lo...)
or a wheel loader
(www.transdiesel.com/news/Volvo%20L250H%20log%20loader)
Seeing as these are made on LDD fiddling around trying to place track pieces is difficult so I went with the wheel loader version.
It was initially a Volvo 250H but while I was designing it became a generic log loader, maybe a mix of a few brands.
Some may have wondered what happened to my usual daily postings. My interest in modern railroads has really waned, to the point of only having gone out twice so far in 2022, and that was for the LA&L. Agricultural pursuits have become our primary focus lately. We have built up our flock of chickens, ducks, and geese to over 60 birds. Much planning has gone into this years pumpkin crop. I have been able to secure some manure from a neighbor that lives about 1.5 miles away. It takes me 30 minutes to make a round trip to get a load, since the tractors top speed is probably somewhere around 10mph. It then takes us about an hour to unload the wagon with pitch forks. We should have some happy plants in the garden this year, and with the price of commercial fertilizer having doubled, this also helps with the budget since it is free! Here our neighbor "Lumpy" loads my wagon up on the morning of April 30, 2022.

The yellow and black were loosely drawn from nature ;)
The hummingbirds have left for the year, but not before tanking up in the garden for their long migration.
565 sitting in the siding near the end of the Castlecliff branch, Wanganui, waiting for more containers to be transhipped onboard from the container terminal out of sight at the rear.
This train will then run direct to Wellington port.
CN ethanol load slowing heads out of the Kishwaukee River valley as they cross the Poole Road bridge near Irene, IL. The cold weather had the signal system acting up and they were running at restricted speed until they got their next clear signal just east of here. The NS 6814 leads on this frosty morning.
Walking up the beach I took loads of shots of the castle which were awful. Overblown sky and no detail in the castle itself. By the time I headed back the clouds were heavier but with occasional glimpses of sunlight to pick out the details.

Perhaps not that photogenic but I was pleased to finally get some shots at the loading bay at Gwuan-Cae-Gurwen (GCG). 66026 has just arrived from Immingham with empty hoppers on the 4V32 to load up with anthracite. It will take about 2.5 hours to load the train which will return to Immingham on the 6E09. Poignant, as this this is one of the last trains to GCG now that the coal reserves are near depletion.
Another one for the 'How-To' Department.
I did a few changes to my Zetros truck last night, including the loader crane, so I figured I'd drop this here - mostly because these things are pain in the neck to build at Minifig scale without relying entirely on click-hinges and having them become completely flimsy.
The gun piece is just there as a placeholder, if you want to make it extendable you need another flange or +Rod piece. And of course the hook. ;)
The upper portion of the crane is based on Bobofrutx's design

Gargoyle: Hunchback of Notre Darme Gargoyle

Ghostly Guy: Any Harry Potter Ghost or just any ghost.

Business Zombie: Hair for 10th Doctor perhaps?
I somehow managed to come up with decent uses for all the figures! I guess I'll have to try and collect them all (like pokèmon xD)
