The first of two MEI Mother-Slug sets that has arrived to the Lake State leads Z145 back towards Saginaw.
(Swedish: Tändsticksområdet) To the left the factory fire station and to the right the drying plant for match material, both completed in 1879. In 1909, the company reported in a fire insurance policy that "in the fire station lie every night 4 men. A fire telegraph exists." Match manufacturing was very flammable. From the start, the factory had a well-organized fire prevention. The factory was located far from the city, close to the lake Vättern.
The fire stations and the drying plant are good examples of the valuable brick architecture. From the 1860s, all buildings were made of brick, a fire-resistant material. Notice how skillful masons have used brick's possibilities to create variations in the facades.
Jönköping was known for its matchstick industry between 1845 and 1970. The phosphorus match was invented in 1831, and these matches became very popular because one could strike it against any surface to ignite it. However, the problem was that they ignited too easily, caused a lot of accidents and were toxic. In 1844, Swedish professor Gustav Erik Pasch patented a new invention, "Safety matches – Strike against the box only". To prevent the matches from igniting so easily, Gustav Erik Pasch separated the chemicals in the match head and placed the phosphorus on a separate surface on the outside of the box for striking ignition. John Edvard and Carl Frans Lundström took Pasch's patent and improved it. From 1848 they manufactured their new Safety matches in this factory area in Jönköping. The matches from the factory were packed into boxes with covers and sent to customers all over the world.
Today, the Match Museum is located in the first match factory building.

There are things that make me squeal aloud in delight - like discovering, on my flight last year to Ottawa, that this film was an onboard entertainment option...
...and like happening upon colour-coordinated stools and chopsticks on Cheung Chau.
I am so easy to please.

This photograph, which comes to you by courtesy of the letter M, is my thirteenth picture for the February's Alphabet Fun: 2018 Edition group.
I'd love to be posting some pictures of the amazing SCLTC winter show layout in San Diego, but I can't, because that show's not happening. For reasons beyond my control, the show was cancelled. The museum where the show was to be, contacted me to put my trains on display so they could salvage at least a little of their advertising of a Lego display. So if you're in the San Diego area before mid-January, stop by the San Diego Model Railway Museum and see this lovely Kansas City Southern and Milwaukee Road power set as well as many others.
Made use of two of my new toys for the daily challenge today. I used the off camera flash for the fill flash and the macro rail for setting up the close up shot.
Taken for the image a day challenge in the Never Professional group.
