I was lucky enough to be invited to a private railway in the Midlands. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with Lawrie so we met at the railway. The owner foolishly said, what would you like to see... We compromised on everything but kick us out when we become a pain.

What a fabulous atmosphere - the locos are well-cared for but still have that industrial feel and they have a real job to do - horsefeed and supplies in: by-products out. As you can see there are a variety of realistic trains available to use and not a passenger carriage or steam loco to be seen. It took me right back to my visits to German Peatworks, especially with the Diema in the weeds.

Built in the 19th Century and early 20th Century, these buildings demonstrate the general historic architectural character of Downtown Springfield, with terra cotta and brick exteriors, decorative ornament, and first floor retail shopfronts. The buildings are contributing structures in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016.
The Illinois Governor's Mansion is the official residence of the governor of Illinois. It is located in the state capital, Springfield, Illinois. The Italianate-style Mansion was designed by Chicago architect John M. Van Osdel with a modified 'H' shaped configuration with a long central section, and the front and back on the sides of the 'H'. The 16-room manor was completed in 1855 and was first occupied by governor Joel Matteson, who held the official grand opening on January 10, 1856. It is one of the oldest historic residences in the state of Illinois and one of the three oldest continuously occupied governor's mansions in the United States. In 1898 alterations to the exterior added neoclassical elements. In 1972, the Illinois Governor's Mansion Association was founded as a charitable corporation to assist in the maintenance and programming at the mansion. The Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Built in 1928-1930, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by James A. Wetmore to serve as a United States Post Office and Federal Courthouse for the city of Springfield, Illinois. The building is clad in limestone with a colonnade of two-story engaged fluted ionic columns on the principal facade along Monroe Street, flanked by arched entrance bays on the first floor, with a cornice featuring dentils at the top of the second floor, doric pilasters flanking the window bays on the third floor, six-over-six and nine-over-nine double-hung windows, decorative trim at the top of the building’s parapet, and a metal hipped roof. The building is a contributing structure in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016. The building today remains in use as a post office and federal office building, being rededicated in honor of Paul Findley, a former US Representative from Illinois, in 1983.
SPRINGFIELD—On Saturday morning, demonstrators stand outside of the capitol building in Springfield during the People's March.
The People's March in Springfield was one of several nationwide marches Saturday, Jan. 18. Thousands had gone to Washington DC to participate in what was formerly known as the Women's March, which began in 2017. In addition to protesting Donald Trump's second presidency, the People’s March focused on several topics, including women’s and reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, immigration, and climate and democracy.
Demonstrator Marzipan said they chose to attend the protest because of issues surrounding health insurance, women's rights, the war in Palestine, and much more. "I have been scared about how it seems our nation is ignoring the way that history is repeating itself in terms of oppression, in terms of silencing minorities, and I'm also sick of seeing insurance companies and doctors denying my friends and family medications that they need to function," Marzipan said. They added that it was good to see others attend the protest. "I'm glad to see that there are people in this town who aren't just full of hate and are willing to show up to these things. I think there's more of us than we realize. I wish I could say I'm feeling hopeful, but I'm feeling motivated for people to get their heads out of the sand and realize how bad this is getting how quickly," Marzipan said.
