The Token Grebe: Pied-billed Grebes are very common throughout America. They can be seen anywhere there is fresh water: marshes, lakes, slow-moving rivers, etc. And I personally have seen them everywhere that I have been where there is open water. Although this image is from Florida, I have even seen them occasionally at Brick Pond. I will be photographing Wood Ducks and suddenly a Grebe will appear behind one of the ducks. It will surface, look around and then dive back down, typically not resurfacing again until it has moved out of view. It's fun to see them peek out and announce their presence. On the day that I got this photo there was a large group of them, more than I've ever seen in one place. Possibly some are on the move to their summer homes in the northern US. However many will stay in the south all year. March 2016

Which is your preferred "token of love" on Valentines Day ... a carefully selected and presented dandelion or an expensive bunch of red roses?
I hope everyone takes cares of my shy little Frogs, they need plenty of attention and wuv. If you got one then you were kind to me, or I liked your build or you’re awesome.
Special thanks to @millionprints for quick turn around of my silly idea.
I wanted to mark my @brickcon_official keynote with a special token. which of course was designed, procured, printed and completed during #FROGust.
Here’s the instructions for anyone that wanted to make their own shy little Frogs.
Trams/trains travelling from a to b along a single line track.
A ‘Token’, the name given to an object that is passed from the signalman (a), to the tram/train driver on a single line track used for two way traffic. The driver is then allowed to proceed along the single track; he then passes the ‘Token’ to a signalman (b), at the other end. If there are two trams/trains to go in the same direction (a to b), the ‘Token’ is shown by the signalman (a), to the first driver, and then given to the second driver, who then hands it to the signalman (b), at the other end of the single section of track. Signalman (b), now has control of the said section of track. Further trams/trains following in the same direction (a to b) are halted until the signalman (a), has control of the track once again by having the ‘Token’; which has been returned to him by the driver of a tram/train travelling in the opposite direction (b to a). The ‘Token’ can then be passed to the driver of the halted tram/train for him to proceed. This method ensures there is only one tram/train on that section of track at any one time. If there was a collision of two trams/trains on this section of track then the driver without the ‘Token’ is at fault.
This temporary track is in Mosley Street, Manchester as part of the Second City Crossing construction, leading to the new St. Peter's Square tram station.
I hope this isn't too confusing!
6960 was out-shopped from Swindon in March 1944 as the second member of Lot 350. The locomotive initially operated without cab side windows as part of wartime blackout regulations. In June 1947 it received the name Raveningham Hall after a stately home in East Anglia.[1]. The locomotive worked out of London’s Old Oak Common in the 1940s, Reading in the 1950s and latterly Oxford until being withdrawn from service by BR in June 1964.

A guest locomotive at the East Lancashire Railway gala was Class 20 loco 20303, one of two provided by Swietelsky Rail. The 'Chopper' approaches Ramsbottom station with a train for Heywood, as the one of the loco's crew hands over the token for the line north to Rawtenstall to the signalman
Taken on the Keighley Worth Valley railway at Damems signalbox. I didn't notice the driver looking my direction nor that his head within the handle of the token ring!
Following my previous photo, today, I’ll give another clue. For now, I show you a fully functional ‘Token booth'.
*I don’t know if ‘Token booth' is the correct designation :p

Token got a new face-up! :D
He looks even more girly now... But isn't he pretty??? I especially love the eyes! °3°
Also, he finally got a decent wig in the right colour and eyes that don't gap like hell! Now, after a whole year (this month was his "bday"), he's finally complete! Weee~ \^0^/
Face-up is by the wonderful Smaug on DoA.
It's been a pretty sad week for Aussies, losing a number of our young diggers. Lest we forget their sacrifice and service to our nation and the world.

Despite a promising start by the time 66736 had meandered a mile or so up the coast to Freemans Crossing box, the weather had definitely taken a dull turn. I've never taken a shot of the box from the oft used the A189 over-bridge, having looked at it a few times and rejected it for more interesting beach-side fare in better weather conditions.
Freemans box is the most modern still in operation on the B&T. Built in the British Rail era around 1956 it was installed to to control the lines to the power station, coal staithes and Cambois depot, that diverged to the right of the train (behind the box in this shot).
The driver and signaller prepare to exchange the token as 6S45 comes off the single track section between Freemans and North Blyth.

So I usually don’t post my tokens - but why not?
It’s not that I’m trying to hide who made them - I generally try to make it pretty obvious - but incase someone’s broke or you couldn’t figure out - surprise it’s me!
I built a few different ones this years cause I’m an overachiever, and was going to spread them out between BW and BFVA -
The Classic FrogPod - but in ATLAS colour scheme to match my SHIP.
Smash Bros - (wrong) Simon character - for SBC stage guys - apparently most people didn’t think it was funny... but I did.
Chonkey Mech - ... what more can I say? it’s so cute and awesome - for cute and awesome builds and builders
Stuffed Hobbes- goes with the my replica Stuffed Hobbes - originally was going to be my only Token this year... but you know - I like making Tokens :D
Sorry for the delay - I actually got really distracted building for BFVA (cause I didn’t start till after BW) and didn’t finish up all my BW recaps.
