OK. I've got the cute ducks out of my system so let's get back to the Ministracts! And in case you were wondering, I've neither had nor pined for a cigarette. Oh yes!
I had promised to upload a shot of WCS195 which was for me the pick of the Strachans bodied AEC Regent Vs. It was the only example to lose it's maroon tween decks band and receive the elevated fleetname as shown here, although it retained it's smart maroon mudguards. Buses of the owner Hill were characterised by a silver star on the front grille.

This was the image prepared in first of the livery of Weardale Motor Services of Stanhope, County Durham - an operator with an exceptionally high standard of turnout. Fortunately it's still with us and, it would seem, doing very well with an expanding fleet in a predominantly white livery. Here we turn the clock back to the company's traditional livery.
I first came across Weardale on a regular basis in the early 1980s, when it was building up an impressive fleet of second-hand, traditional double-deckers for school contracts. Rumour was that it wanted a Routemaster, but this was probably wishful thinking by enthusiasts and it simply didn't happen. The company had hoped to have YUP 6, its preserved Leyland PD2, fully restored for its 85th birthday in 2007. When it became clear that it wouldn't make it in time, I decided to turn out a Routemaster in this commemorative livery. I think that it looks rather good.

St. Mary's by the Sea in its idyllic location looking out to the Coral Sea (even though it looks like a blizzard) in Port Douglas, tropical Far North Queensland. St Mary's by the Sea. During the day, the church is open to the public but unstaffed and as such the altar is left bare to avoid theft.
"The iconic St Mary's by The Sea chapel is one of the most picturesque churches in the country. However, it's wooden and stained glass interior also holds a vivid history.
According to the Douglas Shire Historical Society, the church was blessed and opened on March 6, 1881 on Grant Street. A temporary chapel, later to become the Presbytery, was built in 1878 at an unknown location.
However, the presbytery and church were completely destroyed by a cyclone on March 16, 1911, which left only seven out of 57 houses in the Port Douglas standing and 100 people homeless.
A new presbytery was soon built on the Grant Street site and the second St Mary's was opened and blessed on August 30, 1914.
Come 1986, St Mary's was the only church left in Port Douglas and in danger of being demolished. This was a time of intense development for the town and many buildings had already been demolished. To the local townspeople, it became imperative that the last remaining church of historical significance should be preserved.
The then Douglas Shire Council provided a site at Dixie Street, bordering Market Park, on the undertaking that the relocation work, restoration and ongoing upkeep and maintenance would never become a burden on the ratepayer.
St Mary's church was finally transported to the present site near the Sugar Wharf on November 11, 1988, beginning a long year of restoration by Port Douglas Restoration Society, originally the "Save the Church" group.
After its transportation to the new site, it was renamed St. Mary's by the Sea and underwent tremendous restoration under the guidance of the Port Douglas Restoration Society, with much fund-raising, generosity and goodwill by the local townspeople, finally becoming the much loved icon that it is today.
St Mary's by the Sea is now one of the oldest buildings in Port Douglas and is a non-denominational place of worship and for the conduct of Port Douglas weddings, christenings, memorial services and funerals.
Set in tranquil tropical gardens and parks, the church is surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery including views of the Coral Sea and the surrounding mountain ranges, which can be viewed from inside the church via the magnificent glass altar window.
Ornate tropical flowers are also featured in the stained glass, with highly polished pews and white painted interior making the ideal Port Douglas venue for weddings with couples from across the globe choosing to exchange their vows at the lovely chapel.

Union Pacific GP9 No. 299 leads the St. John Local across 3rd North Street in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 29, 1977. It was built by EMD for the Union Pacific in Sept. 1954, equipped with a steam generator and an 800 gallon water tank for system wide passenger service. The steam generator was removed in 1972 and a 2400 gallon fuel tank installed. The 299 was retired from the roster in July 1982 and sold for scrap to General Metals in Tacoma, Washington on December 24, 1982. (Info via UtahRails.net)
This is my entry for RogueOlympics 2025 Round 2, with the topic "Ups! / Oops!". The RogueOlympics are a build contest by the RogueBricks Community, with each week featuring a new topic and a part limit of just 101 pieces (which I used exactly).
As you can see I chose a rather...literal interpretation of the topic and built the delivery van of a famous parcel service. It's not the most intricate construction but I made sure it's a fully built 4-wide and fits a minifig inside. The words on the side have been added in post-processing.
The light is fading fast as 66421 Crewe Gresty Bridge rounds the sweeping curve from Washwood Heath West Junction with 4M51 South Bank to Daventry.
Christian churches are few and far between in Mauritania in a country that is almost one hundred per cent Muslim.
Here, three of the congregation leave their tiny Catholic church after Sunday morning service in Nouadhibou.
(Tech. note - Even allowing for the post processing, the fact that the modern digital camera was able record detail in the subjects' dark faces AND the white clothing, all under the harsh African sun just astounds me.)

Still in business today, Balfour Beatty has been a major player in the UK construction and civil engineering markets. Founded in 1909, its initial operations focused on tramways, with a notable presence in the East Midlands. That activity led Balfour Beatty to diversify into power generation and general contracting, playing a key role in the development of Britain’s National Grid. During the same 1930s period, Balfour Beatty replaced the trams with buses at its subsidiary companies.
Just three bus companies remained on Balfour Beatty’s books when it decided to exit the market at the end of the 1940s. Thus, Midland General, Notts & Derby and Mansfield District were sold to the state-controlled British Transport Commission. Previously major buyers of AEC and Leyland buses, the ex-Balfour Beatty bus fleets then took a steady influx of standard Bristol/Eastern Coachworks vehicles. However, the old liveries were retained, together with other details (eg destination layouts) that differentiated the fleets from the general BTC run of the mill.
This view at Newark Bus Station proved to be the sole occasion I photographed buses of the former Balfour Beatty bus fleets: all three companies lost their identities soon afterwards under National Bus Company management. On the left is Mansfield & District 545 (24MNN), a Bristol FLF6G Lodekka new in 1963. Its companion is 104 ( JNU993D), a 1966 dual-purpose Bristol MW6G that was registered by Midland General Omnibus but seen here in service with Mansfield District.

Some pictures from our random visit to their yard in December. Nice guys with some really sweet trucks. From what we were told, they are sticking around, and might even have some new trucks right now.
Thanks to Samuel and Alan for letting us check out the yard.
Go-Ahead London (Metrobus) 167 (YX61 ENJ) passes the Queens Head at Green Street Green with an R1 service. I thought this would be a useful spot for a few shots, and that is all I got. I decided not to stay long, as a few lager louts sitting outside the pub were becoming rather annoying!

On Wednesday, 11th October 2023, CP 1427 failed while working the IR862, the 07:08 Pocinho to Porto-Campanhã. The Régua based 'thunderbird' 1436 was sent eastbound to rescue the stranded train. In this view taken at Covelinhas, 1436 was leading the delayed service.

ricominciare dal punto in cui eri rimasta, dall'ultimo colpo, dall'ultima scivolata...
azzerando i pensieri...
assecondando la fatica...
e riscoprire la facilità
che hai sempre avuto
di prendere la palla al balzo...
A water service truck found in the ghost town near Jerome, Arizona which is privately owned. The ghost town has hauled in dozens of old trucks, machinery and buildings to populate the tourist attraction which costs $12.00 to visit. The lettering on the side of the truck says it is a donation by the Warfield Family. Don't know whether this truck really does supply water. Luckily we did not need to drink any water during our visit!
Happy Truck Thursday!
I am yet to see anyone buying something from these... I tried once, the poor thing was stuck.
