How long has it been since I did one of these? Uh... Too long. :P
So, I got another picture and another story, once again about the LEGO Gallery. (If you guys get tired of hearing about that, just let me know. xP Maybe I'll do a throwback Thursday thing that isn't LEGO related sometime.)
Anyway, if you were on the Gallery it didn't take you long to hear about a little MMO called LEGO Universe. It was so popular there you wouldn't even believe. There were all kinds of veterans and even people who never got the chance to play! I can't tell you how many petitions to bring back the game I saw. (Probably somewhere around 6, actually. :P) Now, you probably already tell by the picture that I too was a fan of the game. (Even if I never played it.)
I made this picture back in January of 2017 to show off my MOC. Looking back, it seems I've improved my editing skills a bit. Like, the erasing could've been a tad smoother and I added one too many lense flares. But I still like how it turned out.
If you are unaware that shadowy dude there is the Darkitect, the most feared Villain on the gallery. (Who got taken down in multiple fan stories. :P) And my sig-fig is manning an imaginite cannon in the middle of a mealstrom storm! (Maelstrom was evil purple smoke stuff, I'm not just being redundant.)
So yeah, that's that. Tune in next week to see if I remember this is a thing I do. :P
Throwing it back to seven years ago with my first Mavic Pro camera drone and my first trip to Goblin Valley. What an amazing place to visit!
This week we are going back fifteen years to 2010, and to VG 24 on Ardlea Road with a service on route 27B to Eden Quay.
Route 27B started operating between the city centre and Castletimon (going via Artane and Kilmore) in 1971. In 2004 it was extended to Harristown, going via Santry.
VG 24 was new to Dublin Bus in 2008, and is still in service. In 2025 it lost its Dublin Bus livery for the Transport for Ireland livery.

Throwback to July 2015.
When I was making holiday and went to the beach and saw a wreckage airplane, lucky this beach is known to use as a film set.
I have no idea which film was shoot. Do some know?
For my first post of 2026, I thought I’d take a look back to one year ago today at the Tanfield Railway’s Whistle Off, which kick-started the Railway 200 celebrations.
More images from the event can be found here >> www.mattditch.photography/rail#/tanfield-railway-railway2...
Back when we were younger, wow baby look at how young we were.. Imajica Vemo-Flow we just get better with age..
I had this idea earlier today. This ginger boi is the "Classic" version of my sig-fig!
This is actually a little nostalgic even though I only changed him back in December. Probably because he was my sig-fig for somewhere around four-five years...
Anyway, this is the third "Throwback Thursday" I've done. Do you guys enjoy them? Because I think that would be something I would like to make a semi-regular thing. Let me know! Like, in the comments. Well, where else? :P
This week we are going back twenty-one years to 2004 and to RA 320 parked on Hawkins Street, dressed for route 38.
Route 38 has a bit of a complicated history. From 1939 to 1973 it ran between the City Centre and Ashtown, and from 1958 to 1972 it also ran between the City Centre and Kinvara Park. Services continued to run between the City Centre and Ashtown until 1977, but these were part of the 38A and 39 timetable. In the 1990s the 38 returned, this time between the City Centre and Lady's Well. From around 1994 to around 1998 it ran to Tyrrelstown before reverting back to Lady's Well. In 2002 it was extended to Damastown and the western terminus has remained there since. Also from 2002 until 2010 the city centre terminus was on Hawkins Street, as seen here. It then moved to the Burlington Road area. The route was never part of the CitySwift network.
RA 320 was new to Dublin Bus in 1996. It was withdrawn in 2007 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.

GP60's used to roam the Lurgan pretty regularly, often running in threes or fours on hotshot intermodal trains between Altanta and Northern New Jersey. Since I started shooting the Lurgan regularly I've only managed to nab one up front, with most of the type running trains down south over the last six years. Thanks to a bad horn on the SD70ACe leading NS 747, NS 7120 had to be put on the front between Shenandoah, VA and Harrisburg, PA.
Messing around with different lantern looks. I used the Aquatic Ironman suit for most of him... tried re-creating his hover glider too. I'll post a full pic of what that looks like soon.
It's 90s all over again!
I was lucky enough to obtain both Roboforce figs from a local seller (try finding them in Europe!). All three Hydronauts were also there so I did not hesitate even for a second - turned the latter into a female crew as I've been itching to use those hair pieces. Also BW guns for everyone!
I think I will use most of these parts for some custom characters, but I thought they are worthy of a post for nostalgia's sake.
Remembering when there was lots of colour around!

I feel like uploading to be honest. I have had this shot for the best part of 4 years and I think it finally deserves the light of day.
At the time this was a rather shiny repaint which looked pretty excellent. It did though only last in the coat 2 and a bit years as it bowed out mid 2021 due to less activity after the pandemic.
So, here we see Lothian buses 308 doing service 44 duties to Wallyford while on Princes Street.
Yesterday's post shows this rail fan extra with Erie Lackawanna E8's 816 and 823 crossing RT17K in Montgomery, NY. Today we are a couple of hundred yards to the south at Clinton St. where the station was. It appears the extra has paused for a bit. Maybe for a fan photo line. It also appears a few chasers were on hand.
I could be wrong, but in front of the station, it appears to have some sort of tilt order board signal.
I myself had several of my early chases as a passenger in a 1963 2 door Plymouth Fury like the one in the photo. It had 318 "big block" and push a button transmission. It was fast and rode as smooth as glass.

Whether you're into old cars, black & white or trains, this photo should grab some sort of interest.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois GP-7 #230 pauses on the house track at Momence, Illinois in April of 1965. Switchman Del Sommers is seen walking through the shot. The depot is at right.
C&EI GP7 #230 was built by EMD in August of 1951. Was later renumbered as MP #1634 and then later #634.
