When the theme came up I instantly remembered a much okder shot of a nut from these tracks running close to my home but wanted to take a newer shot.
The tracks were used for normal train traffic back in th days but have been shut down for years now. Now they are re-opened for occasional traffic in order to transport goods. Check Hunsrückbahn for more details in case you like to know more. The old photo of another nut is the coverphoto of my album Macro Monday.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” is “nuts and bolts”, which I despaired of when I read it, as I am not the handiest person in the entire world.
Then I remembered that one of my Great Grandmother's silver tea services that I have inherited has a removable finial, affixed with a wingnut and a bolt! Thus my submission for "Smile on Saturday".
Why was the teapot finial affixed with a wingnut and bolt, I hear you ask? Unfortunately my Great Grandmother's maids and cook are no longer alive to ask, but I imagine it was to stop an ugly build up of silver paste around the base of the final on the top of the teapot: something both my Great Grandmother and Grandmother disliked intensely! I don't have a maid to clean my silver, and I do it myself and that's the reason I am grateful it unscrews. It's much easier to clean and leaves the top of the teapot perfectly clean!

The AGCM was running a special event last Sunday where the winding engine was going to be operational, albeit under diesel and compressed air power for an hour.
I’d remembered this part of the engine from a previous visit and wondered what it would look like when running. Unfortunately, it’s right opposite the entrance door, so setting up a tripod in the doorway was a big no-no in this social distancing era! Luckily after the initial crowd had dispersed to enjoy the tea and cake in the sunshine, I chanced my arm.
Just in case you’re all wondering about the title, it has nothing to do with gangsters, more about the action of the mechanism.

Polite text translation. "I said get a nut to fit the bolt, you seem to have made an unfortunate mistake!"

Close up using my screw on macro diopter - then I attached my Raynox DCR250 to the diopter.....I didn't think it would work, but it did......used my 50mm. Slight crop too.
I must start using my Raynox more often, keep forgetting I have it.....
