A 4mm scale Hejan Class 26. The model came with a sealed nose door, it has been "unsealed". The factory paint also had a "too wide" yellow panel, the edges by the lamp irons have been painted green. The bogies were also altered to move the center coil springs back. The tablet catcher recess should also have a stripe behind the tablet catcher.

A funny thing has happened to my Tablet since I've started using my Nokia N800 - it's turned into a desktop computer! At work, either at my client site or in my home office, my Electrovaya Scribbler SC-3000 spends most of it's time tethered to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard (as shown in the picture). My N800 is performing most of the mobile duties that the Tablet used to perform. Here's a quick summary of my daily usage of the N800.
Morning - I didn't even turn on my Tablet after I awoke at the hotel this morning. I used the N800 to check personal and business email (Outlook Web Access works great), read my RSS feeds (Google Reader accessed through Reader Mini), browse Web sites, and take a peek at Twitter. All tasks that used to be performed by my Tablet.
Work - As mentioned above, I tethered my Tablet to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard when I arrvied at my cube this morning. When I left to attend my first meeting, I put my N800 and its Bluetooth keyboard into my pants pockets and left the Tablet behind. I type meeting notes into a template I've set up with the built-in Notes application. If I need to copy down some type of diagram drawn on a whiteboard, I use the Xournal application to do so. After returning to my cube I saved the Xournal document as a PDF, and copied it and my meeting notes to my Tablet. The Notes document is saved on the N800 in HTML format so it doesn't even need to be converted to any other format. I can open this HTML document with Word and perform any addition edits I might need, although most of the time none is required. I can email both of these documents to other meeting attendees and they'll have no problem reading them on their PCs. While in the meeting I also used the N800 to check email. If anyone has sent me an Office-formatted file as an attachment that is critical for me to immediately review, I'll just send them back a quick email asking them to save it as a PDF file and resend it to me. The built-in N800 PDF reader is outstanding and allows me to easily review such documents. I can even annotate them using Xournal and send them back to original sender with my comments.
Evening - My Tablet remains off at the hotel. I again use the N800 for reading email, RSS feeds, and Web browsing. In addition, I use it as my entertainment platform. I'll listen to music from Rhapsody, Pandora, or an Internet radio station. I watch videos on its gorgeous screen. Last night I watched the first half of Lawrence of Arabia on my N800 (it's over 3-3/4 hours long!). Here the N800 has cut into my video iPod's turf. I hardly ever watch recorded TV shows or movies on the tiny video iPod screen anymore, since the N800's screen is so much larger and clearer. In fact the only thing I'm using my 60GB iPod for is listening to Audible books and the occasional podcast.
So as you can see, the N800 has really become a Tablet/UMPC replacement device for me. I have to admit to being surprised at just how capable this little device has proved to be. Having all that power in a computer that fits into my pants or shirt pocket is an amazing experience!

An Anglican parish church, originating before 1086, though nothing visible survives from this date. The west tower dates from the C15, with its spire renewed in 1776-7 by John Cheshire (circa 1739-1812); otherwise the church dates from 1879-90, with the south porch added in 1908, all to designs by Julius Alfred Chatwin (1830-1907). The church is constructed from brownish-grey sandstone, under slate roofs.
PLAN: The plan has nave, apsidal chancel, north and south aisles, north organ chamber and south chancel chapel, and south porches. Attached to the north and extending westwards is a late-C20 church centre (not of special interest).
EXTERIOR: The building is set on a moulded sandstone plinth, and has angle buttresses and pitched roofs. There is a west tower of four stages with angle buttresses, three-light windows and an unusual treatment of the bell stage, which has rows of segment-headed recesses with two tiers of trefoil-headed panels; the central pair are louvred, those flanking are blind. The stages are marked by moulded string courses. The tower is surmounted by an elegant, broachless octagonal spire. The tower, nave and chancel have unifying crenellations. The aisle windows and those to the south (Erdington) chapel have simple Y-tracery, with drip moulds and some head stops, in part to accommodate stained glass from the earlier church. The clerestory has windows of three lights, with cusped heads and trefoils in Decorated tracery above. The nave and chancel are continuous, the transition between the two marked by large pinnacles with gargoyles at their bases. The high, five-sided chancel has tall buttresses with multiple off-sets, and three-light windows with continuous mullions, those to the sides with similar tracery to those in the clerestory. Nave, chancel and chapel have gargoyles and moulded detailing.
INTERIOR: The interior is long and high, dominated by the apsidal east end; there is no chancel arch. The nave and chancel have a continuous hammer-beam roof, adapted to the apsidal chancel. There is parquet flooring to the nave and aisles, and mosaic floors in geometric designs to the chancel and the Erdington chapel. The west entrance under the tower gives access to the body of the church. The high C15 tower arch has four continuous chamfers. Immediately in front of it is the font, with elaborate cover; designed by Chatwin, it was installed in 1881. The seven-bay nave arcades are formed from pointed arches carried on alternating round and octagonal piers, with shallow capitals with foliate carving. Although there is no structural break between the nave and chancel, the decoration becomes more sumptuous at the east end. The hammer-beam roof has a wealth of carved timber angels, and punched decoration to the trusses. The elaborate two-bay chancel arcades have ogival arches, with rich embellishments including crocketing, cusping, angel figures and pinnacles. The apse has five fine stained glass windows by Hardman and Co, dating from 1885, depicting the Adoration of the Lamb. Below, the sanctuary is clad in marble, with rich carved and pierced decoration, incorporating canopied sedilia. The reredos has three similar marble canopies, over a stone relief triptych. These, and the other furnishings, were all designed by Chatwin, including the pulpit, which is situated at the eastern end of the nave; installed in 1885, it is of alabaster and marble, with biblical scenes in relief, and is integral with the truncated remains of the chancel screen. The Erdington chapel has a timber barrel-vaulted roof, mosaic floor and houses monuments to the Erdington family. In addition to the Hardman windows at the east end, there is further stained glass of the mid- and late C19 to the north and south aisles, Erdington chapel, and tower. Makers include Hardman and Co, Lavers and Barraud, Alexander Gibbs and Heaton, Butler and Bayne. A window of the C18, by Francis Eginton, is resited above the north door, now leading to the attached church centre.
MONUMENTS: The church has an important collection of effigies and mural monuments, dating in a wide range from the medieval period to the C19. In general, those to the Holte family of Aston Hall are situated in the north aisle, and those to the Erdingtons in the Erdington Chapel. There are further mural monuments sited in the north and south aisles, the Erdington Chapel, and under the tower. The monuments include the following, though the list is not exhaustive. An alabaster knight of circa 1360 and a sandstone lady of circa 1490 lying together on a tomb chest; said to be a C16 amalgamation of the two original tomb chests, possibly commemorating Ralph Arden and Elizabeth, wife of Robert Arden, and probably moved here from Maxstoke, his home. Sir Thomas Erdington (died 1433) and wife Joan or Anne Harcourt (died 1417); he is in armour, she in a long skirt and mantle, set on a chest tomb with carved shields and angels; probably erected circa 1460. Another similar effigy, probably to Sir William Harcourt (died 1482 or later), on a chest tomb with carved angels. William Holte (died 1514) and his wife, both effigies in sandstone, on a chest tomb. Portrait bust of 1883 of John Rogers, MA (died 1555); born in Deritend, Birmingham in 1500, Rogers was instrumental in the translation and revision of the Matthews Bible, which became the standard translation in 1537; he was burned at the stake in 1555 as part of Mary Tudor's persecution of Protestants. A mural monument with the kneeling figures of Edward Holte (died 1592) and his wife, Dorothy, set in a recess with Corinthian columns. Effigies of Sir Edward Devereux (died 1622) and his wife Katherine, on an altar tomb, in black marble and alabaster, under a pediment carried on Corinthian columns. A fine monument of the early C18, with weeping putti, to Sir Thomas Holte (died 1654) who built nearby Aston Hall. A draped tablet to Henry Charles (died 1700), servant to the Holte family for 33 years. A highly architectural monument to Sir John Bridgman (died 1710) by James Gibbs, 1726. Mural monument in the Baroque style, to Sir Charles Holte (died 1722). Mural monument to Robert Holden (died 1730) and wife Laetitia (died 1751) by Michael Rysbrack, 1753, with angel heads. A portrait medallion with mourner to Sir Charles Holte (died 1782). A sarcophagus on lion feet, to Sir Lister Holte, by Westmacott, 1794.

HISTORY: A church at Aston is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086), when Aston was a much more significant settlement than Birmingham, valued at 100 shillings as opposed to Birmingham's 20 shillings. At times during the Middle Ages the advowson was held by members of the de Erdington family; Thomas de Erdington founded a chantry in the church in 1449, and the family are commemorated in the Erdington Chapel in the current church. From the mid-C16 until 1818, the advowson descended with the manor of Aston, falling to the prominent Holte family who built nearby Aston Hall in the early C17 and remained lords of the manor for some 200 years. Members of the Holte family have monuments in the present church. Later in the C19, the advowson was with the Aston Trustees, with whom it has stayed.
The earliest surviving part of the current church is a small amount of C14 stonework set in the north aisle wall, though this is not legible as part of the earlier church building. The west tower was built during the C15, and its spire renewed by John Cheshire in 1776-7. Drawings indicate that during the early C19, the church had a chancel with an east window of circa 1300 of three lights and intersecting tracery, and with three south windows. The nave had a low-pitched roof, and the blocked head of a former chancel arch showed above the low-pitched chancel roof. The south aisle had three south lancet windows and C18 or early-C19 east window, above which was the blocked pointed head of the earlier east window. The mullions of the aisle and clerestory windows had been removed in 1790 when the roof and interior of the church had been restored.
Julius Alfred Chatwin, the foremost church architect in Birmingham in the later C19, set about rebuilding the church during the later C19; construction was carried out in phases from 1879. The construction of the chancel and Erdington Chapel was anonymously funded by John Feeney, owner of the Birmingham Post; Feeney was buried at the church, and is commemorated with a memorial by George Frampton, RA. The chancel and south chapel were complete by 1883, and the nave finished in 1889. The final elements, including the south porch, were not completed until 1908, the year after Chatwin's death. The building incorporated embellishments from the earlier church on the site, including some C19 stained glass, and fragments of the medieval phases, including a C14 piscina, resited in the south aisle. The south chapel was created as the Erdington Chapel, to house monuments to that family. A wide range of monuments from the earlier church was incorporated into the new building, ranged along the north and south aisles, north and south sides of the chancel, and in the Erdington Chapel.
A glass and metal-framed meeting room was inserted into the north aisle during the later C20. A church centre was built to the north-west in 1980, linked to the church on the north side. In 2009, a cruciform baptismal pool was added to the dais in front of the chancel.

REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The Anglican Church of SS Peter and Paul, Aston, is designated at Grade II*, for the following principal reasons:
* The west tower is an impressive, substantial survival from the C15, with an elegant spire added in 1776-7 by John Cheshire
* The remainder of the church, built to designs by J A Chatwin in 1879-1908, is a high-quality composition in a Gothic style, large in scale and rich in detail
* The interior has a sumptuous east end with a wealth of carved decoration, and an excellent suite of furnishings designed by Chatwin, complemented by good stained glass windows in opulent colours by Hardman and Co
* Its important relationship to Aston Hall and its owners, the Holte family, for whom this was their family church, and numbers of whom are commemorated here
* The church houses a large number of funerary monuments dating from the medieval period to the C19, all of good quality, and unusual in their spread and the extent of their survival

Showing how to change colours by either rotating the tablet in the opposite direction or by flipping the tablet about its vertical axis then continuing rotation in the same direction
At the diagram 1 (notice the numbers I have put on the picture), the tablet is threaded up and ready to go. It is turned forward 1/4 turn to get to diagram 2. You can see that the hole that was at position A rises up - this thread will be on the top of the weave, so this line of weave will be blue.
At diagram 2, you can see that the threads in positions A and D are the same colour. This means that it doesn't matter which way you turn the tablets, the next row will always be blue. However, since the tablets were turned forwards last time, it's best to turn them forwards again to get to diagram 3. (If you changed direction at this point, having only made 1 forwards turn, then one of the threads would float over 3 weft threads and look a little strange in your weave.)
Having made a 1/4 turn to get to diagram 3, you can see that positions A and D now have different coloured threads in them again. If you continued turning the cards forwards, then the red thread at position A would rise up and would be on top of the weave at this point. However, let's say you want to keep the colour blue at this point and not red. There are TWO ways to do this.
Firstly, you can flip the card about its vertical axis, which would take you from diagram 3 to diagram 4. Notice that the direction of threading of the card has changed - this is generally OK and won't matter, but it's worth noticing. Now if you continue to rotate this card forwards (diagram 5) you can see that a blue thread that was in position A in diagram 4 rises up. If you have a whole pack of cards and are turning them all forwards, but just want to change the colour of some of them, then this method is really good. Flip the cards where you want the colour to change, then carry on rotating the whole pack forwards.
The second way to keep the blue thread on top of the weave from diagram 3 is to turn the card backwards...as shown in diagram 6. This time, the thread in position D rises up and is on top of the weave - so the weave will be blue at this point. If you are changing the colour of the whole pack, then this is a really quick way to do it. Simply change the direction in which you turn the whole pack.
