Driven from the front; powered from the rear… A Network Rail test train, comprising Driving Trailer Coach No. 9714, coach No. 62384 and Colas Rail Freight Class 37 diesel-electric locomotive No. 37175, trundles through Kemble en route from Bristol High Level Siding to Swindon on 20th July 2018.
Opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1882, Kemble served as a busy country junction until the 1960s, serving two branch lines to Cirencester Town and Tetbury. Both lines were closed in April 1964. Today the station offers services to Swindon, London Paddington, Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa.

In 1976, Amtrak tested French and Swedish locomotives on the Northeast Corridor in an attempt to find a replacement for the aging GG-1 locomotives originally built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Swedish model, a R4c locomotive designed by Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA), was designated the X995 during its testing phase. The X995 wears the Amtrak Phase II livery introduced in 1975. EMD eventually built 65 AEM7 motors based on this design and they proved their worth on the Northeast Corridor into the 21st Century.
The test model X995 was approaching Washington Union Station with train 111 at Ivy City, passing an Amtrak P30CH and a Southern E8. Good times in the past.
Not bad for a seven year old, eh?
*I had to do a LOT of tweaking on this as the composition was terrible with lots of foreground clutter.
This is a parting shot and Argosy reality story of Smith Lake, no need for TV tales. Here is the exact shot proving what we found at Smith Lake where we settled to breathe in the fall. We just popped over to the camp and fire ring when we found the ripples left by the Sasquatch startled by our arrival! Usually, ripples mean trout are rising for bugs but there are no fish in this pond. It is not deep and probably freezes solid in winter. What more photographic proof of Sasquatch's existence can possibly be needed? I snapped the bold tones found in the saturated reflections of the rippled pond here in this detail shot. I don't understand why a Sasquatch, covered with such thick hair, would need a camp fire. On the other hand, I do understand why a Sasquatch would find this pool so very inviting and soothing.
Autumn was at it's fall-end struggle at Smith Lake. We mounted yet another foray into the high country on that day past. The pond reflections tolled fall's end near the Great Divide where the Sasquatch likes to bathe. Phil and I were sniffing the perfumes and surrendering to this copse of pond, pine and aspen from the camp at the fire ring, atop the Smith Lake trail off Taylor Mountain Road. We sniffed the pungent odors of the latent Sasquach. We squeezed off Taylor Road to park. The one thing we didn't encounter was Sasquatch himself. We traveled the Peak to Peak Highway north toward Allenspark and turned right onto Taylor Mountain Road. Here, east of Allenspark and west of Taylor Road, we found semi-flat rocks for perches by the oft-used fire ring. You may want to camp here, and why the heck wouldn't you, but beware of the Sasquatch family. It's wise to bring a large supply of M&Ms for them should you want to garner them as friends. Heck, they could carry you back to your car should you twist your ankle. The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over here is nearly apparent but yet requires a degree of imagination.

Here, east of Allenspark and west of Taylor Road, we found semi-flat rocks for perches by the fire ring at the pond. The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over to here is nearly apparent and skimpy. Egad... Smith Lake, what a spot to get resouled.
Those rocks scattered across the pond propped up the Smith lake terrain and created terrific reflections. Great views abound everywhere along the trek and especially from the camp fire ring, the spot of my accidental pano. Taylor Road is an access to wonderful treks in the high country to magnificent views of much higher country. We are paralleling the Rocky Mountain National Park and Indian Peaks Wilderness Area off to the west. Atop Taylor, one should be able to spot climbers in colorful jackets on their final leg up the south pitch of Longs Peak. Sometimes climbers founder on the big notch between Meeker and Longs and on the ledge traverse around the back of Longs. A fellow recently slipped on ice and met his master there in the last week. That particular master skipped a full level of logic.

Testing of the Class 800 IET units on the ECML is ramping up with regular outings for the new trains.
Full introduction is planned from December this year. For the moment, however, the new trains still have some novelty value.
9 car unit 800101 heads through Sunderland Bridge, south of Durham, with an Edinburgh to Doncaster Carr working.

I have a new toy. A 22inch beauty dish for my bowens.
I was using it to take some shots of a local artist. but as he was trying on his clothes for his shot, Nicky who was helping me jumped in front to test the light for the set up. Trust her. lol. I ended up getting this cracking shot of her. What is she like. lol
Can't wait to use this more. :-)
Strobist info: GM400 using a 22" Beauty Dish @ 1.4 power in front of subject high and facing at 45 degree down to create classic shadowing.
Another test shot from this mornings walk, it was good to see a Painted Lady there, first I've seen on my home patch this season :-)
A Network Rail test train out and about this afternoon, passing Fox Street with 150V 0950 Welwyn G.C. F.D. to Cambridge Reception Sdgs.
Test the Sony A7m3 with Zeiss FE 55mm F1,8 ZA and Leica V-Lux 5. Both cameras ISO 125 f4 1/125s auto WB - neutral
A test shot of the Brenzier Method outside of my office building. I used a 50mm 1.4 at 1.4. There are 24 shots here stitched together in CS3. I'm gonna try with the 70-200 for the next one.
I just received by mail from Germany a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots outdoors (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
Make your very own Test Chamber out of LEGO, in any way that you want! First build the modular frame to the dimensions you choose, and then fill the walls and floor with tiles, platforms, buttons and more! Finally, add accessories such as turrets, cubes, small buttons, signs, cameras and most importantly, test subjects!
Includes four minifigures, Chell and 3 Aperture Science Sentry Turrets.
Completely modular design allows you to redesign the chamber for different tests.
Solve button puzzles with the Weighted Storage Cube, or dodge the laser sights of an array of turrets!
Use the 4 different pattern tiles to create any 2 digit number for the level sign.
Discover a hidden Ratman den behind the testing chamber walls.
Standard Testing Chamber arrangement is over 10" (25cm) long, 5" (12cm) deep and 6" (15cm) tall!
Combine multiple Modular Testing Chamber sets and your own module designs for unlimited variations. The possibilities are endless!
Parts Count: ???
