Honestly it had never been brought to my attention that there was still an interlocking tower here until a post on one of the R&N Facebook groups (Friends of the Reading and Northern is my preferred one) so after Josh and I shot the RDCs and the LGSR arriving in an incredibly busy downtown Jim Thorpe on Saturday morning we ventured up into the state park. I started day drinking pretty early and had this walk in mind. This should've been the tail end of the 1pm Jim Thorpe departure and I think I was already 5 or 6 genny's deep.

In the reading rooms I wanted to represent a very simple idea, namely how much the content of a book can acquire reality for those who are reading it, becoming as present as the true reality. For this reason the rooms have a view towards the outside and the concrete world. Only by painting them, I realized that those windows are not an opening, the external landscape does not count at all, and the room is a refuge. The reader is somehow protected from the outside world as in a shelter, and his reality is only inside the book.
This original painting is available for sale. Contact me in case you are interested in more information about my work.
The new GWR livery on 43188. Not sure about this . Hopefully they will have a rethink before anymore are painted.
As mentioned a few postings ago, several enclaves of Routemaster operation broke out in the early days of 'Deregulation'. Some had more success than others, but the basic headline concept was usually to provide a faster 'conductor operated' service and thereby benefit the travelling public harking back to the better days of their youth. In reality, the general idea was to run rings round the incumbent operator's 'OPO' buses in the quest to boost revenue ... unless the operator was an enthusiast who saught just a vent to his hobby, a scenario which usually has a short shelf life.
Here in late '80s Reading, one of Reading Mainline's RMs has one of Reading Transport's Metrobuses on its tail. The Mainline fleet was usually (from my experience) well kept, but this re-registered Routemaster seems to have had some repairs to a damaged NSF wing uncompleted. Maybe someone out there in Flickrland can tell us how long the firm traded please?
