BR Standard Tank 80080 works out of the cutting at Dead Man's Hill, with the 1250 Holt to Sheringham service. This turned out to be the last day of steam haulage until further notice, with all passenger services from Saturday being diesel hauled due to the dry weather. Though the railway is putting on a loco in steam at Sheringham for visitors.

Today is the 4th July, the USA Independence Day. This year they celebrate 250 Years of independence from British Rule.
So happy celebrations everyone!
For me in Australia and for perhaps many in the world this anniversary has represented how the USA has lost its way over the last decade. From unnecessary wars, fake news and alternative facts, murky waters in terms of tarriffs and the effect on inflation, the USA has certainly demonstrated how they can affect others.
A bright spot in this era of uncertainty and stupidity is shown by how well we in Australia have managed to avoid disastrous Oil shortages caused by the US Israel war against Iran. So the backfire effect has lead to an undertanding of how Renewable Energy, Electric Cars and diversified economies can lead to better security as well as hopefully. decarbonisation. China must be happy!
Happy Fourth of July! Check out Laura Tingle on what saved the global economy:

Another new and interesting exhibit. This Standard Atlas was apparently found in a lockup, having been stored for years. Someone appears to have been in the early stages of turning it into a camper van; work which looks to have stalled many years ago! The museum decided to put this on display in 'as found' condition, aside from a clean. Unfortunately the DVLA record doesn't tell us when it was last taxed, which is a shame. I think we can assume it was quite some time ago - I'd guess the 1970s.

SD70 #2578 was part of the last round of locomotives ordered for Conrail in the late 90s. That Conrail blue is bleeding through the battle scars on the nose of this Spartan cab EMD as it's sits tied down on the industrial track in Newport PA on the head end of a loaded rail train.
Standard 5 73156 leaves Loughborough and passes under Beeches Road and the fine set of signals there during a Don Bishop charter earlier this month.

NS train 21Z, aka "The Zipper" (Rutherford, PA to Chicago, IL, 63rd St., Park Manor Yard hotshot trailers/containers) flies through downtown Waterloo, Indiana on NS' ex-LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line with NS 8102, the Pennsylvania Railroad Heritage Unit in charge. The PRR was known as "The Standard Railroad of the World". The NYC era tri-light signals are still in service here. The Zipper was over on the #2 main passing other slower westbound trains.
A pair of CN C40-8s lead train R90183 out of Keenan. The train is swinging north at the wye in Keenan to head toward Iron Junction Minnesota.
Though the standard power for years on the Northern Minnesota Iron Range has been EMD products, in my visit in June of 2018 the standard was starting to change to GE. At the forefront of the change in power from EMD to GE are the C40-8s. Though older EMD power still has a foothold it's no where near what it once was.
A limited production variant of the Seraphim III/IV, the Strike Seraphim III/IV was created to be used by the UEF's special forces branch ECSO as well as other special operations groups. The ECSO were still using D-type Seraphim IIIs which were woefully inadequate come the Third Colony War. 150 Strike Seraphim III/IVs were built with a focus on firepower and maneuverability. Power output was increased over the standard Seraphim III/IV and the Strike was given a large amount of armaments allowing it to even take out a battleship single-handedly. In order to keep costs down components were taken from other Kampfers in service with the UEF such as modified hip binders from the refit R-type Seraphim III and modified grenade racks from the regular Seraphim III/IV.
Armaments include head-mounted CIW, shoulder-mounted missile pods (x2), a hyper-beam bazooka, wrist-mounted double-ended beam pick, melee bracer on one arm, chest-mounted beam particle cannon and a beam shotgun (stored on back).

Yussssss, variantssss strikeeee againnnnn
So I threw some kit onto the Seraphim III/IV and it looks pretty snazzy I think. Fins on the missile pods serve no function other than looking cool. Was thinking of ZZ Gundam for some reason. Hip binders are once again stolen straight off my R-type Seraphim III. I like the design, ok? XD
Think I got the lighting just right this time too. Might retake some of the photos I uploaded within the past 2 weeks now that I've got the lighting working again.
Will also take a photo of and upload a view of the back at some point. I thought the beam-shotgun design was kinda nifty but you can't see it at all here lol.
Still fits a fig with opening cockpit hatch as per norm.
