Another one from the servicing point at Wulong, Fuxin. Tucked away behind a massive block of apartments, it was an unlikely place to find a yard providing coal, water and sand for the steady arrival of steam locos working their shifts on the coal mine railway.
As with many things, the night gave it extra atmosphere. Also, the darkness hid our presence setting up the tripod for the shot. We usually managed half and hour before being spotted and rudely told to “go away”.

Just another of the many abandoned service stations around town. For many years, after the station closed, it was a TV repair shop. Now it's also out of service because today people just throw away their old sets instead of trying to fix them. A sign of the times...

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.

A few days into the service of Route 379 by the new operator. During the bulk of the day it is a 15 minute serice which requires two buses - and here they both are.
As they are new, we will forgive them for an error setting the destination blind; the one going up the hill is going to Chingford Station, the one coming towards us is going to Yardley Lane. It's a circular route, and at Yardley Lane the blind is quickly changed to Chingford Station before moving off to the next stop, but it allows people to know which way the bus is going if they don't know the area.
I only photographed a couple of UK Lynx (Lynxes if you prefer) and the results weren't very good, so I've raided my Maltese collection for this series of images - hence the repanelled lower body sides without the 'boxy' Leyland wheel arches.
OK Travel received a few Lynx via a fleet acquisition by parent company Go North East. They were rather rough and the contemporary 'go faster' blue and red corporate livery did nothing for them. Here's my interpretation of what they could have looked like in the final OK Travel livery, with the kind of care and attention that the original OK Motor Services might have afforded them.
Had they been bodied by a third party such as Plaxton, the rounded wheel arches would have probably been original; otherwise I would like to think that they were the handiwork of Gardiners of Spennymoor.

A staged night shot at the East Syracuse Amtrak station on the evening of 5 November 1990. The Central New York Chapter NRHS owned, ex-PRR E8A unit, under restoration as Lackawanna 808, poses in a throwback scene. A younger version of me leans out of the cab, as Ron Vile "fuels" the 808, using a septic pumping hose borrowed from a Rohr turboliner! Lighting was provided by the late Tom Trencansky and others.
This picture is dedicated to railroader and preservation advocate Bob Harrison, who passed away this weekend. A former New York Central mechanic and electrician, Bob spent many an evening troubleshooting E-units on the fly, while heading up name trains like the Twentieth Century Limited. After retiring he lent his skills to restoring the chapter's units to operating condition, often riding along as on board mechanic during excursions, including old diesels like the 808 pictured and its mate 807, plus FP7 No. 637, and later assisting other operations like the Adirondack Scenic Railroad with their motive power. Rest in peace, old friend. Long May You Run....

Eglwys y Grog (Holy Cross Church), Mwnt, Ceredigion
Mwnt is a beautiful secluded cove on the Ceredigion coast, just north of Cardigan. Above a sandy beach that has been rated amongst the finest in Europe is a picturesque whitewashed church dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Though the present church building dates to the 14th century, there has been a church in this spot since the Age of the Saints (roughly 410-700 AD). The dedication to Holy Cross is probably a reference to a tradition that a tall stone cross once stood atop Foel y Mwnt, the conical hill that rises directly behind the church. The cross would have been used as a focal point for preaching the Christian message.
The cross would also have been visible for many miles, attracting pilgrims who drew their boats up on the sandy beach at the base of the cliffs.
Mwnt gained such a reputation amongst early Christians that it became a stopping place for the bodies of saints being transported to Bardsey Island for burial. Mwnt's location also made it a convenient resting place for pilgrims en route to St David's, further down the coast.
We do not know exactly when the present building was erected; it may have been as early as the 13th century. That's the date of the stone font, made of Preselau stone, that stands at the west end of the nave.
On the north wall is a small lancet window, now blocked, that may have allowed lepers - who were not allowed inside churches - to view the high altar during services.
