DRS Class 88 88002 'Prometheus' seen here at Carlisle Metal Bridge heading north working 4S43 Daventry-Mossend, Date Taken 07/10/2017
A long lost cardboard creation has been recently discovered!
My mother was cleaning out her basement, going through some old boxes of mine when she found this gem. Star Trek fans might recall this ship model as the USS Prometheus from the Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle". I'm not exactly sure when this was built, but it is very likely the last space ship model that I had designed and constructed from cardboard. Not too bad actually, with all the curves and intricate shapes that need to fit together. Judging by the paint job, it looks like I never quite finished, but it was close.
It needs a little work, but I think I'm going to try and fix it up (needs a few repairs), replace those button snaps with magnets (not sure why I went with snaps in the first place) and then give it a new paint job with my airbrush. Should be a fun project.

Prometheus est un film de science-fiction américano-britannique produit et réalisé par Ridley Scott, sorti en 2012. Il met en scène, dans les rôles principaux, Noomi Rapace (Elizabeth Shaw), Michael Fassbender (David) et Charlize Theron (Meredith Vickers). L'action se déroule à la fin du XXIe siècle : l'équipage du vaisseau Prometheus, appartenant à la société Weyland, du nom du milliardaire qui l'a créée, part sous les ordres de ce dernier explorer le satellite naturel d'une planète lointaine, indiqué sur des pictogrammes archéologiques, dans l'espoir d'obtenir des réponses sur les origines de l'humanité ; les membres de l'équipage auront à faire face à un péril qui pourrait menacer l'espèce humaine.
Ce film était prévu à l'origine en tant que préquelle directe d’Alien, le huitième passager (1979), le deuxième long métrage de Ridley Scott. Cependant, le scénario de Prometheus s'est au fur et à mesure éloigné de la saga Alien, même s'il s'inspire beaucoup de celle-ci et se déroule dans le même univers. Il explique notamment les origines du Xénomorphe. Il sera relié à la saga Alien par sa suite, Alien: Covenant, sortie en 2017.
Synopsis et détails
Une équipe d’explorateurs découvre un indice sur l’origine de l’humanité sur Terre. Cette découverte les entraîne dans un voyage fascinant jusqu’aux recoins les plus sombres de l’univers. Là-bas, un affrontement terrifiant qui décidera de l’avenir de l’humanité les attend.
Prometheus (/prəˈmiːθiəs/ prə-MEE-thee-əs) is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species.
Development of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien. By 2003, the development of Alien vs. Predator took precedence, and the project remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest. Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas.

Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it.
The statue "Prometheus" stands on the fortified moat south of Kungstorget in Göteborg and is seemingly taking a step into the water.

Finally got round to uploading my pics from the DRS Open Day 2018 at Gresty Bridge TMD... which look pretty much like all the other ones on Flickr from the day!
My latest sighting of DRS Class 88, 88 002 "Prometheus" having been the very first Class 88 I saw on the class's first loaded test run on 3 April 2017. Peeking out from behind 88002 is Class 57/0, 57007.
