We need to "uproot the system" - While I didn't ask the protester with the placard what precise meaning she wanted to convey, it seems obvious that we need to challenge the global corporate political system if we are to implement effective measures to combat climate change.
As part of coordinated protest action by tens of thousands of people worldwide, demonstrators took to the streets to demand urgent action to tackle the existential threat of catastrophic climate change. In London, several hundred protesters, many of them students, met in Parliament Square before marching to the Home Office. All part of the Fridays for Future campaign.

CSX 1982 "Seaboard System" leads I032 through CP Marion at the end of its journey. This is the first of the many new and incoming CSX heritage units I've seen.
A Cargo System for (Classic) Space Minifig scale models based on standard cargo units (similar to ISO Containers).
I’ve already used the SCU for some models in the last few months:
- A cargo Unit for my LL 926 Space Crane
- My Transportable Base
- An SCU transport box/cage as a garage for my Transportable Rover
A simple transport cage can carry 6-wide vehicles as a roll-on-roll-off carrier and up to 8-wide scooters or other vehicles and equipment. Transport boxes and other Space Cargo Units are easy to build in endless variations – Expect to see more, soon ;-))

Anne Rice's novels have, thus far, been turned into two films, "Interview with the Vampire" and "Queen of the Damned". As novels, I love both of these books, but I found their adaptations somewhat lacking.
What was not lacking, however, was Stuart Townsend's sex appeal in the latter. In honour of that, Kitti is listening to www.youtube.com/watch?v=De4MX7lLaio&list=PLC5173DC41D... and www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu2pljo2VZM&list=PLC5173DC41D....
I've never been a fan of Linkin Park/Chester Bennington or Earshot, but they are two of the more memorable songs from QotD.
C'est une petite larve sur le bord d'un champignon lignicole.
Je suis fasciné par l'aspect de sa petite tête qui a une forme et une expression presque humaine.
Elle semble découvrir le vaste monde qui s'offre à sa perception.
J'aime la transparence de son corps sur lequel ont peut apercevoir un réseau tubulaire dont les extrémités aboutissent à la surface de sa peau. Sans doute son système respiratoire.

I am fascinated by the appearance of its small head which has an almost human shape and expression.
She seems to discover the vast world that is offered to her perception.
I like the transparency of his body on which can see a tubular network whose ends end at the surface of his skin. Probably his respiratory system.
Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.19' (works No.1614 built in 1918) was captured in the rain on the moors near Minnivey Colliery on 27th August 1971 as it was returning to Dunaskin with empty tippler wagons. The wooden-bodied wagon was a semi-permanent fixture to the locomotive and acted as an auxiliary coal tender. Supplied new to the Dalmellington Ironworks, it was transferred to the National Coal Board Area No.5 on vesting day on 1st January 1947 and, apart from works visits was maintained and worked at Dunaskin Loco Shed serving the Waterside System throughout its commercial service. Purchased by the Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group in 1980, it remains at Dunaskin to this day.

AD60 class engine 6029 at the rear of 9L31 shuttle passing diverted interstate freight 7BM4 just outside Wollongong station.
A weekend of special passenger shuttles, hauled by restored large Beyer-Garratt steam engine 6029, were scheduled to operate out of Wollongong at short notice. The weekend of shuttles had been planned earlier in the year but it was subsequently cancelled.
Four return shuttles were run between Wollongong and Scarborough on both Saturday 12 November and Sunday 13 November 2016, and it was reported that they were well patronised. Sadly, the reason the shuttles were scheduled at short notice became evident on Monday 14 November, when the owner and operator of 6029, the Australian Railway Historical Society ACT division, announced that they would be closing and ceasing operations until further notice. Financial difficulties were given as the reason.
I was busy on the weekend, but seeing it was such a special operation I managed to get away to see the very last shuttle of the weekend. I am glad now that I did! While out I also photographed a few other trains!
A little history:
The AD60 class "Garratts" were the largest steam engines to operate on the NSW railway system. 50 were ordered in 1949 as part of a locomotive replacement program, and they were planned to operate feeder services on secondary main lines. A second phase would have seen even heavier engines obtained to haul trains over main lines from feeder junction depots. A problem arose however which prevented phase 2 - diesels! A locomotive shortage and visit by an Alco salesman resulted in the purchase of 20 almost off-the-shelf diesel locos (the 40 class, model RSC3) and with a short delivery lead time they had all entered service before the first AD60 Garratt in 1952! The NSW Railways quickly decided diesels were the way to go and attempted to cancel the remainder of the AD60 class contract. Following negotiation it was agreed that 42 would be built plus spare coomponents for several more.
Although heavy at 256 long tons gross, because of their planned usage they had a light axle load of only 16 tons, allowing them to operate on most lines on the NSW system, even some light "pioneer branch" lines.
Once in service it was soon realised that the Garratts would mostly be used on main lines, and so 30 were modified to raise the axle load to 18 long tons, increase cylinder diameter and increase their coal capacity from 14 to 18 tons. Gross weight was raised to 264 long tons (268 tonnes, 296 US tons). These were identified by a double “+” after their number. These 30 were also fitted with dual controls to enable operation in either direction, denoted by “DC” before their number.

The 212-foot-long Space Launch System (SLS) rocket core stage pathfinder is being transported back to the Pegasus barge at the Launch Complex 39 turn basin wharf at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 28, 2019. The core stage pathfinder is a full-scale mock-up of the rocket's core stage. It was used by the Exploration Ground Systems Program and their contractor, Jacobs, to practice offloading, moving and stacking maneuvers inside the Vehicle Assembly Building, using important ground support equipment to train employees and certify all the equipment works properly. The pathfinder was at Kennedy for about a month. It will make the trek back to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
Overseas from the conflict in Europe, America has been designing its own VCS units to support both its own military and to hopefully sell to the URE. The ALDIS (Armored Long-Distance Infantry Support) is the first system to go into full production. It is designed to support regular tanks and infantry from a distance, and can utilize its legs to reach previously treacherous strategic positions. Each ALDIS system is equipped with a light railgun, and a short-range missile launcher. Although not designed for close combat, the ALDIS has two light machine guns affixed to the underside of its "head." The head does not serve any purpose other than carrying the guns, as it is a residual relic from the system's initial design phase. Most of the ALDIS's sensors are built into the main body, and it uses a back mounted non-combustible high-capacity battery pack for power. Each ALDIS system has one human pilot, but similar to the URE's Hornet, have a basic AI system which puts them into an "overwatch" mode. ALDIS systems have been deployed to great success, and currently have a very low pilot death count.
This started out as a Power-Miners inspired humanoid mech, but I didn't like how the legs clashed with the rest of it so I made something new out of them. This was a pretty fun build, I might do more like this in the future.

A combination of two shots taken from the same spot has been used for this image, one focused on the building and one focused on the Moon. I couldn't acheive a large enough depth of field without a tripod so I've pasted the sharp moon over an out of focus one. Hopefully telling you this doesn't detract too much from the image.
