26 Broadway was originally built for Standard Oil; Rockefeller had his office here. (And, long before that, Alexander Hamilton lived at this address.) Carrère & Hastings; Shreeve, Lamb & Blake; 1920–28. The tower portion is inconspicuous from street level, but it doubles the height of the building. The two parts of the building are oriented independently: the facade follows the curve of lower Broadway, whereas the tower follows the uptown street grid so that it matches the rest of the skyline.

The Standard Fireworks site at Crosland Hill has been sold to Housing Developers, with approximately 700 houses to be built there.
Last year I decided to record what was left of the buildings on the site. All of my pictures were shot from outside of the site itself, so walls, fences, trees and shrubs get in the way.
I worked there over thirty years ago, so will try to give context to the pictures from my fading memory.
The green corrugated buildings called Magazines were used to store either finished boxes of fireworks or individual fireworks waiting to be packed in various sizes of Firework Boxes for sale.
Corrugated on the outside and lined with wood paneling on the interia.

Deck Hand from the "Saginaw " being lowered over the side on the Landing Boom as she approaches the Jetty. One Deck Hand has already been lowered and is standing on the Jetty waiting for his help. They tie the 20,000 ton ship up to the dock so she can start loading 22,000 tons of Grain. Note the Bazzillion Canada Geese in the Slip and on the dock moving out of the way.
Can't get enough of the Classics. From the previous Century to the Present the Saginaw has been a Top Earner and still is a Top Earner . Some photos of her yesterday pulling into Thunder Bay and looking for a load of Wheat at Superior Elevator ULC in the Mission Basin. I've added a video of her docking at Superior Elevator unassisted as is usual . I sped up parts of the video to save file size but I returned to normal speed to show my Dream Job when I grow up. A centuries old method of Tie Up that sometimes is a necessity and other times a money saver. She uses all the modern advantages of a ship with her bow thrusters and stern propulsion with rudder to gracefully and silently slide into postion to load . she was being loaded in her aft holds within 30 minutes of arrival. Notice the million Canada Geese (Poopers) that have taken up residence in the slip. If I worked there my wife would make me leave my shoes at work in the parking lot and drive home in my sock feet.
Description
As built the lake freighter was 195.0 m (639 ft 9 in) long overall and 189.9 m (623 ft 0 in) between perpendiculars with a beam of 22.0 m (72 ft 2 in).[1] The ship had a depth of hull of 11.0 m (36 ft 1 in) and a mid-summer draught of 8.0 m (26 ft 3 in).[2] The ship was 12,557 gross register tons (GRT) and 19,070 tons deadweight (DWT) at construction with a capacity of 20,525 tonnes (20,201 long tons; 22,625 short tons).[1][2] Using heavy fuel oil, the vessel was powered by two Foster-Wheeler water tube boilers providing steam to a De Laval cross compound steam turbine driving one shaft rated at 7,000 shaft horsepower (5,200 kW).[2] The ship was designed for the stone trade and is equipped with a 76.20 m (250 ft 0 in) discharge boom that can be swung 120 degrees to port or starboard. The boom is used to unload the vessel's cargo.[2][3]
In 1986 a 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) bow thruster was installed.[4] In 2007, her turbine was replaced by a MaK 6M43C 6-cylinder diesel engine, generating 8,160 brake horsepower (6,080 kW).[2] The vessel's tonnages were adjusted, with the ship being 14,066 gross register tons (GRT) and 19,390 tons deadweight (DWT).
Daimler Fleetline TNB759K was one of the few prototype Standard vehicles that escaped the cutters torch and went on to have a second career.
It was sold on to the Middleton Scout and Guide Band as transport for the various walking days and marches the band would attend. It is seen in the former Bee Line yard at Oldham in the mid nineties in a vandalised state.
Ordered by Rochdale Corporation, the order was changed to allow the chassis to be sent to Northern Counties to be bodied to the style produced by the Selnec designers of what would become the Selnec Standard vehicle.
March's best spot so far. Note the period sun visor! The Standard 8 was a very plain and basic small car, but I'd be happy to have one in my garage (if I had one). Spotted out and about.

A simple design I established several years ago for scifi mocs and battlefields as well, based on the triangular shield piece from Nexo Knights. Made several new variants over the years, also varying in lenght. I still want to build a ship with special holding bays for these, but that´s a plan for the backlog right now.

During its sojourn at Bressingham, July 15th 1978
"The engine was completed at Crewe in May 1951 at a cost of £20,115 and entered service at Norwich Thorpe depot.
Whilst based at Norwich 70013 was a regular performer on the Broadsman, Norfolkman and East Anglian, the latter being a business train augmented in 1937 which was given a new timetable for the summer of 1951, although the journey times were only trimmed by five minutes. 70013 Oliver Cromwell was not without its problems in running, but this was no more than the average Britannia which were worked hard and gave good service and availability on the Great Eastern express passenger services.
During 1957, it was found that the drive wheels of 70013 had moved in relation to each other; this was caused by the square locking keys, which held the drive wheels in the correct position, being moved and pushed out (ie forced out) resulting in major work being undertaken at Doncaster Works. Towards the latter part of 1960, a substantial crack was noted within the mainframe and this, of course, required immediate remedial treatment, again by Doncaster Works. Only a relative short time later a problem occurred within one of the cylinders; on close inspection it was found that the inner lining had shifted and blocked off the oil supply causing a compression ring failure and consequent lack of power, however this defect occurred four times before actual replacement of the offending cylinder was actioned by Doncaster Works, a delay doubtless caused by austerity measures.
From 1958, diesel-electric locomotives began to replace steam locomotives and by 1961, the influx of new diesel locomotives had taken over many express duties in East Anglia which led to the Britannia class engines working many different trains away from their normal trips to Norwich. Consequently the class was reallocated away from Norwich Thorpe depot to March shed.
This locomotive hauled the last BR steam passenger train over Shap on 26th December 1967. The train carried returning Carlisle football supporters back from a match at Blackpool.
70013 was selected by British Railways to haul a number of special trains throughout 1968. In fact, it was in charge of 16 such trains before it was finally withdrawn from service.
Because of this it had been the last main line engine to receive a repair at Crewe, emerging from the Works on the 2nd February 1967 after a prolonged an expensive overhaul (The overhaul which started in November 1966 was deliberately slowed down to ensure that it was the last locomotive to leave Crewe Works). WD Austerity 2-8-0 90281 did return to Crewe Works on 23rd February to have a faulty regulator valve repaired but 70013 has returned twice to Crewe since being overhauled there. It is interesting to note that of the last fifteen locomotives outshopped from Crewe Works seven were 2-8-0 Austerities, four 4-6-0 Black Fives, two 4-6-2 Britanias (the other was 70014 Iron Duke) and two 2-10-0 standard locomotives. Of the fifteen only two have been preserved – 70013 and Standard 2-10-0 92203.
70013 returned to the works in June 1968 for a paint touch up. The second time it returned was in July 1968 to have its front buffer beam straightened after a rough shunt.
Following 70013’s overhaul at Crewe the locomotive was based at Crewe South depot for a week whilst it was run in on parcel train duties between Crewe and its home base of Carlisle. It then returned to its Carlisle Kingsmoor shed from where, following the withdrawal of the last of its class stablemates, it moved to Carnforth in January 1968.
Following this a grand total of 16 Railtours were organised including the infamous ’15 Guinea Special’ on the 11th August 1968, which involved Britannia 70013 ‘Oliver Cromwell’ hauling the train from Manchester to Carlisle, with other legs of the special’s itinerary shared by three ‘Black Fives’, 45110, 44871 and 44781.
It was withdrawn from service in August 1968 after hauling the Manchester to Carlisle leg of the Fifteen Guinea Special on 11th August. On the 12th August the engine moved under its own power from Carnforth to Norwich and then on to Diss the following day. After this it moved by road to the Bressingham Steam Museum.
Oliver Cromwell had been selected for preservation by the National Railway Museum as part of the National Collection but because of limited storage space an offer from Alan Bloom to house the locomotive at his Bressingham Steam Museum was accepted.
At Bressingham Steam Museum at Diss it provided footplate rides until the 1980s when it became a static exhibit. Following a very long dispute (about ten years) between Bressingham and the National Railway Museum the long term agreement to loan the engine to Bressingham was terminated and the locomotive left on 21st May 2004, travelling by road to York. It had spent nearly 36 years at Bressingham, compared with a main line working life of 17 years.
70013 was a star turn as a static exhibit at the very successful Railfest held at York before it was moved by road to Loughborough later that summer in line with the agreement concluded with the National Railway Museum that the locomotive should be restored to main line running standard by 2008 for the 40th anniversary of the end of steam.
The locomotive was overhauled at the Great Central Railway (GCR) to mainline standards which included the fitting of the train protection warning system, overhaul of 70013’s automatic warning system and the fitment of OTMR.
In early May 2008 it hauled its first revenue-earning passenger services since being restored on the GCR’s eight-mile route. The locomotive made an appearance at the National Railway Museum’s 1968 and All That event celebrating 40 years since the end of steam.
Its first mainline passenger charter since 1968 was on 10 August 2008 when the locomotive took part in a re-run of the Fifteen Guinea Special. It then went on to operate on the Scarborough Spa Express later in the month.
On 14 March 2009 Oliver Cromwell hauled a special on what was said to be the very last train (of any sort) to use the branch line down to Folkestone Harbour, where main line trains used to meet with cross channel ferries.
In March 2010 returned to Crewe for the first time since 1968 to work on the main line over Shap.
A month later, two years after its previous overhaul, Oliver Cromwell suffered from cracks in the firebox and was moved to the GCR for an inspection which lead to the locomotive being withdrawn from service.
During 2010, 70013 Oliver Cromwell underwent firebox repairs at Crewe Heritage Centre. The cab was removed before the rest of the locomotive was sent for repairs to the boiler. Following these repairs, in December 2010 the locomotive had a successful steam test at Crewe.
On 27 May 2012 the locomotive was involved in a blowback incident near Wood Green in North London on a Railway Touring Company railtour called ‘The Peak Forester’. Two of the three crew on board the locomotive had to attend hospital as a result. See Accidents and Incidents for full details.
In August 2013 70013 worked another Fifteen Guinea Special to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the ending of steam on British Railways. 70013 was in charge of the Longsight to Carlisle leg of the special with the other legs being worked by LMS Black 5s numbers 45305, 45231 and 44932.
In early 2015 it was taken out of service as it needed repairs which were completed to allow 70013 to return to steam in August 2016.
Early in 2017 was out of service whilst its superheater elements were replaced at Loughborough. This is fifty years after its last overhaul under BR ownership at Crewe.
After returning to service on the Great Central Railway 70013 was back on the main line at the start of September 2017. It will be operational until March 2018 when the boiler certificate expires but was hoped that this would be extended.
In early 2018 agreement was reached between the National Railway Museum and the 5305 Locomotive Association which left the locomotive custodianship of 70013 with the Loughborough based group. The 5305 Locomotive Association will carry out another overhaul of the locomotive which will enable it to run on the main line again.
In March 2018, whilst hauling its last main line train before the boiler certificate expires, the locomotive suffered a hot big end. Having melted the whitemetal in the big end and adjoining coupling rod bearings took the train into Norwich at a reduced speed with the power being provided by a diesel on the rear.
The overhaul is scheduled to be undertaken during 2019 and will largely concentrate on the boiler as the bottom end has received considerable attention during the previous operating period.
In March 2018 the boiler inspector gave the boiler a clean bill of health during a cold examination. It was anticipated that this would be followed by a fully functional steam test later that month which would enable the boiler certificate to be extended by nine months. This would enable the locomotive to operate until the end of 2018 but only on heritage lines as it requires a full re-tubing before being allowed onto the national network.
The boiler certificate expired at the end of December 2018.
When the locomotive was taken out of service at the end of 2018 plans for its overhaul had not been agreed by the National Railway Museum although they did state that they planned that it continued to operate on the main line.
In January 2019 the National Railway Museum disclosed that the forty year agreement with the 5305 Locomotive Association would not be extended although the locomotive is likely to remain based on the Great Central Railway at Loughborough.
In March 2019 it was reported that the continued operation of the locomotive was in an agreement that was close to being completed by the National Railway Museum with the Great Central Railway. The National Railway Museum also emphasised that they wanted the locomotive to run on the main line.
Also in March 2019 work began at Loughborough to strip the locomotive down although at this stage the National Railway Museum were said to be unaware that work had started on the overhaul.
The overhaul will include a boiler overhaul which will involve a re-tubing in order to recertify the locomotive for preservation and main line running.
In July 2019 it was announced that an agreement had been concluded between the National Railway Museum and the Great Central Railway (GCR). The agreement provided for the locomotive to be based at the GCR until the end of 2021. Under the terms of the agreement the GCR will submit plans to overhaul the locomotive. Once the overhaul has been completed a second loan agreement will be confirmed to cover the operation of the locomotive.
By December 2019 the frames were placed back onto its wheels – just five months after being lifted off.
In November 2021 it was reported that the boiler had been sent to Tyseley for Overhaul in the previous month."

BR Standard Class 4 2-6-4 Tank, 80098 moves from the bay at Cheddleton during the February 2008 steam gala on the Churnet Valley Railway.
Here’s another look at the restaurant itself, this time the right side of the building. I can’t claim to be super knowledgeable on Shoney’s history, but what I do know is that there used to be a whole lot of Shoney’s restaurants, and now there’s a whole lot less :P That said, the chain is still around, and in fact recently introduced a new logo and design for their restaurants. Unsurprisingly, the adoption rate of this new design is rather low, but there is at least one location that’s donned the new design and is on my radar to visit one day.

RD24571(vid). Over the weekend 14th - 16th October, 2022, the Bluebell Railway in Sussex held their annual 'Giants of Steam Gala'; visiting for the occasion was B.R. Standard 2-6-0 76017 from the Mid-Hants Railway and 4-6-0 73156 from the Great Central Railway.
I went along on the Friday and had a thoroughly enjoyable day riding on the trains and videoing from the stations. This is part 5 of the video footage I took and it was taken at Sheffield Park Station where B.R. Standard Class 4MT 2-6-0 76017 was waiting to take the next up train to East Grinstead. Before it can do so however, a down train from East Grinstead is seen arriving behind GWR ‘Modified Hall’ Class 4-6-0 6989 WIGHTWICK HALL which is on loan from the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton Road.

A model that's been stopped and started more times than I care to remember, shouted at, swore at and on one occasion launched across the kitchen! When Lancashire United was still independent from GMPTE an order was allegedly placed for Bristol VR's as the waiting time for Fleetlines was an age. Certainly photos exist of VR chassis parked at Atherton depot awaiting delivery to Northern Counties have been seen but mystery surrounds whether they were for LUT or not. In the meantime GMT took the operation over and being a bigger fleet with more power with the builders, ninety Fleetlines were ordered for the LUT subsidiary.
If the order had materialised they would probably have looked similar to Readings, however if GMT had stuck with the VR a little bit of Standard influence may have been brought into play. This is my take on what they could have looked like if delivered with a GMT preferred 'bustle' as opposed to a fully enclosed rear. This was initially to have stayed LUT red as per the EFE issue but as I couldn't match the red perfectly [I now have about a dozen tins of varying shades of red paint!] a full strip to bare metal was required and a coat of PTE orange applied in the LUT style.
Standing on the Events Field at Beamish Museum is this beautifully restored example of and early post-war British car, which must have looked very impressive at the time and continues to do so today.
The car is a 1952 2088cc Standard Vanguard Phase I saloon, UK registered MXW 781.
The Standard Vanguard was manufactured by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry (UK) from 1947 until 1963, with the model being upgraded to Phase II in 1953. Sadly the Phase II models dispensed with the iconic sweeping rear end of the car and replaced it with a more conventional boot (trunk).
