A typical filthy valleys class 37 has moved up from it usual coal train duties to be in charge of a mixed bunch of four wheeled and bogied non passenger coaching stock. 37179 is approaching Cardiff General from the Newport direction with a parcels train, 19th February 1977.
Locomotive History
This locomotive has had many guises in its lifetime and is still in front line operation. It was new in October 1963 as D6879 and was allocated to Cardiff until transferred along the coast to Landore in October 1971. In the 1974 TOPS renumbering scheme it became 37179 and was still a Landore allocated engine at the time of this photograph. Transferred to Scotland (Eastfield) in April 1982 and moved back south to South Wales (Cardiff) again in March 1985. It then became a bit of a gypsy as over the next couple of years it had spells at Tinsley (twice), Gateshead, Thornaby and back to Cardiff before it entered Crewe Works for refurbishment and remerged in February 1987 as 37691. It moved back to Scotland (Motherwell) in April 1992 and south to Immingham in May 1993 and spent most of 1994 in store un-serviceable. In December 1995 it was allocated to European Passenger Services and became 37612. It did little work over the next two years until sold Direct Rail Services in June 1997 for whom it still now operates forty eight years after being built.

This was my entry into RichboyJhae's Coruscant Speeder Contest.
It's my take on how deliveries are made on Coruscant. I loved this build and reimagining Amazon in another galaxy.

I hate the crop :S..but i couldn't move further to the right

I wanted to make a horizontally-oriented speeder after getting inspired by some others on here...I really like the look of it even if the colors aren't quite right. I'll probably keep developing this one.
The view from the then new Cromwell Avenue bridge at Sankey Old Hall. 47597 speeds towards the Warrington stop on the former Cheshire Lines Liverpool - Manchester route with the 10.52 Liverpool - Newcastle. Behind me is the Junction for access into Burtonwood Airbase and the perimeter fence can be seen on the right, November 29th 1989.
* RAF Burtonwood was opened during WWII in 1940 but transferred to the USA in 1942. At one time 18,000 service men and women were on site and it became the largest airfield in Europe. The base was returned to the RAF after the war had ended.
The U.S. Department of Defence returned to Burtonwood in 1966 when France withdrew its military support for NATO. Burtonwood was used as a receiving depot for USAF and United States Army equipment and supplies being withdrawn from their former French NATO facilities. Afterwards, the US Army took over the base and renamed it Burtonwood Army Depot.
The Army developed Burtonwood into a storage and forward supply depot operated by the 47th Support Group. The main warehouse was described as the largest building under a single roof in Europe. The idea was that in the event of an emergency, U.S. troops in the USA that were earmarked for NATO service in Europe would fly over and pick up their kit from Burtonwood before going on to the battle front. It was never tested for this eventuality, although the base provided service functions for the 1991 Gulf War.
When the Cold War ended, Burtonwood Army Depot was declared excess to NATO requirements and was closed in June 1994.
* The new Warrington West station is located beyond where the second bridge is in the distance.
BNSF 7925 blast pass the old depot in Chillicothce, IL at speed clocked at 64 mph with the ole radar gun.

Again my two-hand technique. Swooshing the speeder in one hand, holding the camera in the other one and turning around.... and suddenly realizing there are 5 people in the park looking in a very strange but curios way :-)
There's something that you must know about Kalira. She breeds dewbacks. They are calm animals, but got easily agitated around loud noises. Therefore she never had a speeder.
She heard something about a show off between the Survivors group members and wanted to check what the fuss was about. Of course, most of the members are guys, and you know guys - they always want to show their muscles. So she needed a speeder. After a short run in the streets of Mos Espa, she found the one. Bright green, fast...and the engine was running. She hopped and took off.
She still does not have a speeder, but she borrowed one...

P.S. Instructions are coming real soon :)
Updated render of my Snow and Sand speeders using the new Stud.io render engine.
There are some slight updates to the nose peices of the speeders due to some new parts that LEGO recently released.
Instructions can still be found here: www.brickvault.toys/products/snowspeeder-minifig-scale
The updated parts are all easily visible in the new render, so if anyone wanted to update their builds they shouldn't have much trouble.

This is my 15th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

Camera mounted in back of car using a long-ish exposure driving down Buckstones road in Oldham and voilla, little detail i know but i moved my speed dial up with a little help of photoshop just for my own peace of mind to justify the motion blur.
This is one of the main roads into Death Valley coming from California. The lowest point in North America is just over 30 miles on the other side of the mountains straight ahead.
State Highway 190, California, USA
This is by far my favorite since I''ve started with my high speed photo hobby.
It was also the most dangerous and difficult to setup and clean. Bullets will go wild when they hit the water, no way to predict wher they will go :( The amount of the water sprayed around was unbelievable. Covering all the high voltage electronics and camera equipment took more than one hour and much more time required to clean up the mess.
