I wanted to see just how much I could do to a bus that was pretty much scrapped, and I am quite pleased with this.

These seven photos continue my documentation of our camping trip.
We took a side trip to the airport in Dubois, Idaho to see the recently restored 1920's airmail beacon, arrow, and control shack. It turned out beautiful. You can see pre-restoration photos in my Giant Concrete Arrows album.
National Trust. Kinver Edge and the Holy Austin Rock Houses. A truly fascinating place to visit and to learn about it's place in history. Kinver, Stourbridge, Dudley in the West Midlands.
On Kinver Edge there are several rock houses that have been carved out of the soft red sandstone. The Holy Austin rock houses were inhabited until the 1960s. The most famous are the homes at Holy Austin Rock, now restored and open to visitors. There are stoves, furniture, windows and doors – all set into the sandstone, just as they were when the houses were lived in. They are also known as Martindale Caves. The house that has been renovated represents life in the 1930s.
Up to 11 families lived in the cave homes. Three levels of homes were constructed in the rock. Each had a bedroom and living area. After the last two families moved out in the 1950s the buildings fell into disrepair.
These cave people led comparatively comfortable lives, away from society and surrounded by nature: their water came from the deepest private well in Britain and the easy-to-carve sandstone made house renovations simple. It’s thought that Kinver Edge’s first inhabitants stumbled on it in the early 17th century, though official records date from 1777. “We believe quarry workers arrived in the early 1600s and were the first people to excavate,”
Nanny’s Rock and Vale’s Rock aren’t restored but they can be seen from the Rock Houses walking trail. You can climb into Nanny’s Rock, peer through the remains of the windows and wander around the five empty rooms. Was Nanny a herbalist, a potion maker, a white witch? Passed down through time, there is no explanation for this curious name.
The National Trust was given 198 acres of Kinver Edge in 1917 in memory of Thomas Grosvenor Lee, a Birmingham solicitor born in Kinver. The National Trust care for close to 600 acres of this special landscape.
Only one of the cave houses in the study area is a listed building, Vales Rock, Wolverley, Grade II, and only one is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, the restored National Trust caves at Holy Austin Rock, Kinver.
Rock-cut Dwellings on Kinver Edge.
The group of cave houses and rock cut dwellings discussed here fit into a small geographical area and all lie on or within a couple of miles of a massive sandstone escarpment called Kinver Edge. This cuts through the county boundaries of Staffordshire and Worcestershire and the parish boundaries of Kinver, Staffordshire and Wolverley and Cookley, Worcestershire.

Resting on Track 28 at Kansas City's Union Station is UP's recently restored ALCO 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, which was viewed by thousands of people as it spent the entire day here. As part of the "Great Race Across the Southwest" trip, it came into town yesterday from Coffeyville, KS on the former Mo-Pac as UP train PCVKC2-17, and it will leave tomorrow for Topeka, KS as UP train PKCTP2-19.
Running alongside the Big Boy on Main Track 4 of the KCT East-West Corridor is UP train PKCCB3-18, taking 7 of the 12 coaches the Big Boy brought into town up to Council Bluffs, IA.
This is all part of a two month long round trip from Cheyenne, WY visiting cities and towns along the UP system in portions of the southwestern and midwestern parts of the county. In October, the Big Boy pulled an excursion for the Rail Giant Train Museum in Pomona, CA, where it was previously on display before UP purchased it for restoration. 11/18/19.

This former Santa Fe GE B40-8W was acquired by Railroading Heritage of Midwest America, who is in the process of restoring it to its original Warbonnet paint scheme. During our guided tour of the former Rock Island shops at RRHMA's "Summer of Safety" Open House, we were given a chance to see and learn about the locomotive's progress, which includes body work prior to a new coat of red and silver paint. 6/29/24.
The newly restored aquaduct at Marple which carries the canal over the river Goyt.
The 200 year old structure has had lots of work done to it and the trees cleared from around it. Also a new path gives better access.
The other arches belong to a later bridge which carries the railway.
Semi-finished state. The policromía was literally falling off the image. The restorer has taken almost 7 months of filling in the mising parts and stabilizing them. This Cristo belongs to the Calvario tableau.
*Manual Restore*
Have you ever accidentally deleted a memory card before getting the photos off? I have…once. It was about two years ago. I was out camping and headed out one evening for some shots. I took some long exposures of a nearby river, stream, and forest. I was all over the place. A couple days later I was heading out for another shoot and I popped the same memory card in from my camping trip. I thought for sure I had downloaded them so I deleted them. Well, I hadn’t downloaded them. I guess I could have run a retrieval program but by the time I had realized it it was too late. I had already filled up the memory card with some new shots. Fast forward two years and I was back at the same campground last weekend. I remembered most of the shots I took so I was able to retake them. I guess it was a manual restore.
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago” – Acts 3:19-21
This nice Escort, whose previous colour was white, was first registered in 12/1972. It is seen here on the A683 Egdale Lane, at the Fat Lamb Country Inn, Crossbank, Ravenstonedale, when attending the Cumbria Easter Rally, on 08/04/2023. © Peter Steel 2023.
2 ... return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the LORD your God lwill restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will mgather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you

Five more photos documenting the Elkhorn, Montana portion of our summer camping trip.
There is a short row of buildings that have survived along the main street at Elkhorn, Montana. Most are abandoned, but a few have been preserved or restored.
The Midland Railway Centre’s vintage rolling stock leaves Butterley behind newly restored "Lytham St. Annes". The Peckett 0-4-0ST no.2111 was built in 1949 and delivered new to the Preston Gas Dept.
If you feel tired of your life, just come to Kyoto and see trees of green,
hear the sounds of wind, and take a deep breath with smell of fresh leaves.
That's enough to restoring your soul.
Tried to have lunch here during the visit but it was too crowded, Next time!
On the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.
Restored to BR blue livery with half yellow ends class 438 (originally class 491) 4-TC set 410 is seen crossing Lydd Town Level Crossing while leading the Hertfordshire Railtours 'Trans-Marsh Link' railtour down the freight only Dungeness branch. The train was run using sets 410 and 417 which carried their original BR(S) unit numbers. These numbers were carried until the stock was reclassified and entered on the TOPS system to become class 438 stock. Set no.410 then became 8010 and 417 became 8017. Network SouthEast retained the two sets as charter train stock as they were very versatile units being compatible in push-pull mode with class 33/1 and 73/1 locomotives or simply loco hauled as they were fitted with ETH sockets and jumpers for train heat. On this occasion the train engine out of sight was 33 116.
Norman by birth, damaged by Scots raiders, inherited by the Cliffords and restored by Lady Anne of that name, fell into its present state a very romantic ruin in a very romantic valley. Recent work done to stabilize the fabric.
Great subject for the enthusiastic photographer.
Nothing to do with Arthurian legend, unless you know differently.

Performs perfectly
Petoskey, Michigan. The guy who owns this beauty owns several others from the same era. My understanding is that he restores them himself. It must be difficult to decide which one to drive on any given day.
The Anderton boat lift near Anderton, Cheshire, in North West England provides a 50ft vertical link between two navigable waterways: the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal.
Built in 1875 the boat lift was in service for over 100 years until it was closed due to corrosion in 1983. Restoration started in 2001 and the boat lift was re-opened in 2002.
In the southern part of the battlefield, farms like this saw less battle damage but still suffered a lot. Livestock was killed or run off. Even after the battle, Union soldiers "cleaning up" after the fighting sometimes vandalized and looted farmhouses on their own territory. The National Park Service has restored and protected such places, making the battlefield park one of the most visited places in the country.
Restored Milwaukee Road 4-8-4 261 rolled north towards Duluth dodging the clouds through Bethel as a bi-plane paced the train.
I took this from the second floor bedroom window of a house under construction and left wide open. The homeowner has no idea that there was once some guy wandering around his home taking pictures of a steam engine.
Newly restored to its former glory, BR(W) Hawksworth "Modified Hall” 4-6-0 no.6990 ‘Witherslack Hall’ heads past Woodthorpe with the 10:30 Loughborough-Leicester North train
I didn't know the story. Apparently the original sign was painted over. There was a local outcry and accusations of vandalism. What you see now is newly painted.
Located in Queen Street, Portsmouth, Hampshire. The tram shelter had been along the seafront at Southsea Terrace until falling in to a state of disrepair. Renovated and relocated next to a modern day bus shelter in Queen Street close to the Historic Dockyard gates.
The shelter is thought to be from the Edwardian era.
Trams last ran in the Portsmouth area in 1936.
