The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

...auch Wetron-Shuttle genannt, hier gezogen von der BLS 486 501, ist für mich einer der schönsten Auflieger-Züge die man im Mittelrheintal fotografieren kann. Durch zeitweilige Sperrungen auf der rechten Rheinseite gelang mir diese Aufnahme bei Boppard.
Todays adventure took me to Shuttle House at Calver, walking along the banks of the Derwent River, came across a small clearing and stopped here for a while admiring the incredible view.

A bit of an oddball movement makes it’s way down the Michigan Line here in Kalamazoo. Two Amtrak GE P32-8WBHs 519 and 518 head west with a MOW ballast train by BO tower. This was a welcomed (but very brief) change of pace as the west end of this line normally see’s nothing but exactly eight passenger trains everyday, each operating with only two of Amtrak’s fifteen ITCS equipped P42DCs.

Last week New Hampshire Northcoast ran a mid morning shuttle train to Tri City in Rochester. The power just happened to be both of their GP18s on their rosters with 21 loads. Photo taken Wakefield, NH September 19, 2025
Afternoon light catching bare tree branches at the Temple of Sinawava, shuttle stop #9 on the Zion National Park loop. I visited on a whim on the return leg of a road trip and it ended up being one of the most satisfying vacation days of my life, thanks to fresh eyes, Fall light, and mild temperature.

So I rewatched the scene this shuttle was featured in and I saw that it was a bit different than the version in the concept art, so I added some stuff to finish it off while working on the other version...
In between semesters right now so there will be lots of new posts in the coming weeks!

BNSF shuttle train MCUNTW launched an hour or so earlier at McIntosh, S.D., and is enroute to the Twin Cities with an ex-Santa Fe C44-9W leading. The train is high above the Missouri River at Mobridge, S.D., on ex-Milwaukee Road rails. We'd typically see green hills in late June, but it's a dry year and the prairies look more like you'd expect in August.
6029 leads the last shuttle of the day from Picton back to Thirlmere, seen here climbing Redbank with the shadows leaving just enough of a gap for most of the loco to still be lit. 4001 is on the rear assisting.
I know this hard to believe but this is the Space Shuttle Endeavor linked to the Space Station as it passed over NH last night. Tonight it will be seen again at 9:17 and we will have clear sky's.
I knew I needed to be on the south side of the bridge for the best light. I then searched around for an hour for a suitable foreground. I liked the lines of the roadway, the counter balance of the boat under the bridge. I'm very happy with the finished product.
The Light Space2Surface shuttle is a commonly used vehicle throughout the galaxy. When you feel the urge to swoop along the surface on some unfamiliar moon on your ZeroG-Board you need some kind of quick transportation to take you down there.

We return to our alternate universe with our modern knowledge to reimagine the iconic imperial lambda shuttle from Star Wars.
Only 80ies parts used. Fits one pilot and a lot of passengers. This was a fun build and im pretty impressed how studfree it could have been made in the mid 80ies allready with the limited part palette. The folding mechanism for the wings works, more pics to follow soon. Cheers
