Small Prairie tank loco No 5542 joins forces with Large Prairie tank No5199 for a Russ Hillier Photo charter on the Churnet Valley Railway in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
This is a different photo of the lost dog Tank that showed up at my gate one day. This was shot the same day as the last photo but processed a bit different. Such a sweet dog. His soul was so kind and loving. I'll never forget that.
With the willow-herb going to seed and some leaves just starting to turn for autumn, DB Cargo Shed 66139 pulls away from Northwich following a reversal stop with what I think is the 10.58am Folly Lane ICI - Arpley Sidings (6F82).
The shot was taken back in 2017 when train intel from the usual sources no longer seems to be available. I opted to snap this early on exiting the loop to catch the sun on the side of the tanks.
Going off to the right is the single track to Sandbach, via Middlewich, and behind me is the other side of the triangle.

GWR 2-8-0 tank number 4270 working hard as it climbs Eardington Bank on a Matt Fielding photo charter.
The Canon T90, introduced in 1986, was the top of the line in Canon's T series of 35 mm Single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. It is the last professional-level manual-focus camera from Canon, and the last professional camera to use the Canon FD lens mount. Although it was overtaken by the autofocus revolution and Canon's new, incompatible EOS (Electro-Optical System) after only a year in production, the T90 pioneered many concepts seen in high-end Canon cameras up to the present day, particularly the user interface, industrial design, and the high level of automation.
Due to its ruggedness, the T90 was nicknamed "the tank" by Japanese photojournalists. Many have still rated it highly even 30+ years after its introduction. (Source: Wikipedia)
Am 8. April fuhren die zwei EGP Dieselloks 225 002 + 218 002 den vollen Autozug DGS 95291 von Glauchau nach München. Wir hatten Glück das der Zug keinen Stop zum Tanken eingelegt hat, sonst hätten wir kein Bild mehr mache können. Hier passierte der Zug die 6 Fotografen, schönen Gruß an alle getroffene. :)
Demersus MKVIII
Quasi-rhomboidal Heavy Tank of Holy Preceannesia
Based on an early tank model from a previous war, Demersus was a large yet respectably maneuverable heavy tank, outfitted with seven machine guns and two sponson-mounted cannons. Despite being notoriously unreliable, the MKVIII was a symbol of power sure to turn the tide in trench warfare.
Crew: 12-13
Armament: 7x 7.915mm machine guns, 2x 57mm cannons
Mass: 34 tons
Length: 36’
Height: 9’8”
Engine: V-12 Motrax 300hp engine
Years produced: 1918-21
Max speed: 6.2 mph
This was a surprisingly quick build; the outer sides are identical and the central section with the superstructure is pretty simple.

Clervaux Castle (Luxembourgish: Schlass Klierf, German: Schloss Clerf, French: Château de Clervaux) in the town of Clervaux in northern Luxembourg dates back to the 12th century. Destroyed by fire in the Second World War during the Battle of the Bulge, the castle has now been fully rebuilt. It houses the commune's administrative offices as well as a museum containing an exhibition of photographs collected by Edward Steichen. (The Family of Man).
The Family of Man was a photography exhibition curated by Edward Steichen first shown in 1955 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
After its initial showing at The Museum of Modern Art in 1955, the exhibition toured the world for eight years, making stops in thirty-seven countries on six continents. More than 9 million people viewed the exhibit. The only surviving edition was presented to Luxembourg, the country of Steichen's birth, and is on permanent display in Clervaux. In 2003 the Family of Man photographic collection was added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register in recognition of its historical value.

This tank is so similar to the Renault FT which is probably one of my favorite looking tanks due to its size. I think it turned out well. My only issues are that the front sloping is slightly too large, the track section bothers me a little. This is all mine and Greg's design.
Let me know what you think!
