Nadat ik vanmorgen even de webcam in Aachen Hbf (D) terug spoelde en daar weer 'n fraaie SBB loc voorbij zag rijden die met 'n keteltrein naar Sittard onderweg was, werd géén moment getwijfeld en met de trein naar Sittard gegaan, Daar aangekomen stond de aangebrachte trein met tractie SCG 203 - 103 vertrek gereed naar Chemelot en eveneens vertrek gereed stond SBB 193 452 vanuit Sittard via grensovergang Herzogenrath (D) naar eindbestemming Köln - Eifeltor. (D) Na 'n plaatje op het emplacement te Sittard werd er met de Arriva stoptrein naar Geleen (NL) gegaan En vanaf het station naar de stek gelopen.. Daar kon het wachten beginnen. Dan tegen 11u45 toond het sein voor mij rood. Dan enkele min. later passeert hier de enige fotograaf SBB 193 452 > Helvetia - Switzerlandpiercer > met aan de haak de VTG keteltrein (UN 663 - 3384) *10 ketelwagens.
* En zo kunnen we hier nu de 11e van SBB ook afstrepen,en werd er tevreden weer naar huis gereden.
The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection is an historic Mediterranean Revival-style hotel opened in 1925 as the Vinoy Park Hotel. It is located in St. Petersburg, Florida at 501 Fifth Avenue Northeast, on the bayfront area of downtown, overlooking the Vinoy Yacht Basin. The hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The Vinoy Park Hotel was built in 1925 by oil tycoon Aymer Vinoy Laughner. Construction began on February 5 and took 10 months to complete, with a grand opening on December 31. It was a seasonal hotel, open from around December to March. Rates were $20.00 a night, the highest in the area at that time. Celebrities ranging from Babe Ruth, Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge and James Stewart are known to have stayed there.
With the onset of World War II, the hotel closed on July 3, 1942, and was taken over by the U.S. Army for use as a training school. The hotel reopened in December 1944. It was then sold in 1945 to Charles Alberding for $700,000. It continued to prosper for the next couple of decades but fell out of favor and into decline and disrepair by the end of the 1960s. In 1974, the Vinoy Park closed and most of its contents were sold at auction. On September 11, 1978, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
The hotel sat vacant until 1990, when it was bought by the Vinoy Development Corporation, which renovated it at a cost of $93 million. The hotel reopened in 1992 as the Stouffer Vinoy Resort. Stouffer Hotels was bought by Renaissance Hotels the following year, and the hotel became the Renaissance Stouffer Vinoy Resort, and then in 1996 the Renaissance Vinoy Resort.
In 2005, the Vinoy earned AAA Four-Diamond status.
On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed it on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.
In August 2018, the Vinoy Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club was sold by RLJ Lodging Trust to SCG Hospitality, owned by Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ owner Bryan Glazer. The sale included a golf club and 74-slip marina as well as the 362-room hotel. The amount of the sale was reported to be $188.5 million. The hotel left the Renaissance brand of Marriott and joined the Autograph Collection brand as The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, Autograph Collection in April 2023, at the conclusion of major renovations.

Contrary to popular belief the Sydney Cricket Ground was not established for the sole purpose of cricket but rather its origins have a strong military history.
Its location is, or was a swamp with sandhills and in the 1850’s it was utilised as a rubbish dump and it was known as being a part of what was known in those times and the Sydney Common.
However in 1851 a parcel of land of the Sydney Common was granted to the soldiers garrisoned at the nearby Victoria Barracks for use as a garden and also as a cricket ground to provide a sporting facility for the soldiers.
The task fell to the 11th North Devonshire Regiment to prepare the ground by means of flattening and grading of what was at that time a rifle range on the southern side of the Barracks.
In the passage of time the Victoria Barracks teams organised themselves into a more permanent group and they became known as the Garrison Club.
When it was opened in February 1854 the area became known as the Garrison Ground.
With its opening it provided a new venue for footballers and cricketers who previously had used Hyde Park as a sporting venue.
However it would be re-dedicated in 1856 as public gardens.
In February 1882 the first Sydney cricket test was held with the ground now boasting two grandstands the Brewongle Stand and the original Members Stand which was built in 1878.
At a cost of 6,625 Pounds plus a levy of two guineas for membership the Members’ Pavillion was rebuilt.
Brewongle is an aboriginal word meaning ‘meeting place’.
It was not until 1894 that the grounds would be given the name, the Sydney Cricket Ground which was closely followed with the opening of Hill Stand and during the Depression years earned to title of Bob Stand because it cost one shilling ( a bob) to enter.
It was not until 1896 that the Ladies’ Stand was opened as it was not considered proper for ladies to associate with men at the cricket. It simply was just not cricket.
Huge crowds packed into the Sydney Cricket Ground in the 1920’w and 1930’s to witness Don Bradman as he belted to ball all around the ground.
Today his name is honoured with the Bradman Stand.
In 1978 the game of cricket was revolutionised when Kerry Packer introduced World Series Cricket in which he bought the top cricket players in the world and established his own cricket competition.
During the intervening years the SCG has undergone many developments including the construction of the 12,000 seat capacity Victor Trumper Stand which was completed in 2008.
Today the SCG can cater for 46,000 spectators proving that the game of cricket is as popular as it ever was, if not more so.

A beautiful set made by Pecovam and Pedro. Honestly I feel like my paint job isn't that great for such a beautifully crafted piece. This will probably be all I do for a while on this.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
