This is just an excuse to use that ridiculous pun more than anything :D But its always nice to do some 'Lego arranging' rather than building for a change ;) (plus I'm secretly very proud of my use of a traffic cone haha!)
I'm not sure how 'legal' using paper-cut landing markings is considered but I think it looks more interesting than the plain black card my similar posts have had. I'm interested to know what people think on that though, obviously I'd rather use a full blown Lego hangar but the amount of parts/time that would use up doesn't justify its use in the occasional photo IMO :)

Thanks for all your views, *** and (critical) kind review :))
sorry for my short visits in Your streams
Irgendwie fehlt mir leider die Zeit und Ruhe für längere Besuche, Kommentare bei Euren tollen Fotos
This tool is an extendable magnetic hand tool designed to help you get to small things that fall into tough spaces...very convenient when you drop a screw. Macro Monday theme "Hand Tool"
For MacroMondays.
This tool is about 2cm in diameter. My car has locking wheel nuts for security, & this tool is used to unlock them when necessary. HMM!
I like to think of myself as a steel mill train aficionado, though one facet of the subject I've never managed to frame up before are ore trains - the start of the entire process. This is mostly because all of the steel plants near me have direct lake access - and thus receive most bulk materials by boat. There are quite a few ore trains that still run in the United States, especially in Minnesota and Northern Michigan - two regions I have yet to visit - but none directly around me. EXCEPT Canadian National's as needed runs from Minnesota down to the Gulf, U724 and empty counterpart U723.
These trains were the subject of a recent conversation I had with a buddy from up north, which reminded me that I had, in fact, caught one last winter on the IC. This is an empty northbound, rolling thru Pesotum, Il. I hadn't yet heard about these trains at the time, and initially mistook it for a unit stone train - evidently it's quite hard to distinguish the modern ore jenny from rock hoppers. Nevertheless, I attempted to chase it for the simple fact that it had neat rolling stock - but, already running out of light, that dream came to a swift end when, in Tolono (the next town north of here), the train would be stopped at the NS as the day met a swift end.
It was still a two hour drive home from here, and about 30 minutes into it we drove straight into a blizzard - heavy snow and winds, whiteout conditions, freezing highway. It was rough! It seemed like every time I visited the IC (which was quite frequently last winter) it would end driving into similar snowy conditions.
The CN still runs these ore trains, and I would absolutely KILL to do another one of my 100+ mile chases of one down (or up) the IC sometime this winter. But as 90% of all unit trains go, they run as needed, so I will need quite a bit of luck and then some...
An aside on the title, for those who care. I absolutely fell in love with the IC around this time last year - and from a photographic standpoint, the line really only works in dead-of-winter January gloom. Bark Psychosis' (my favorite music artist, as some of you may know) album Independency was playing on every single trip, and every track on the album shares a similar sort of vibe with the line. Tooled Up is the particular track I was listening to when I was editing this, take a listen if you can:
I got asked what tools I use.
Pencil: stubble
Glue:glues
Toothpick: shaping
Red etching tool: I use this for pretty much everything. I paint stubble and shape lines.
Brushes: I have these super fine brushes which I use a ton. I use the yellow one most
These are part of a large selection of tools that all fit into a small cylindrical handle for storage. Many of them, such as the screwdriver, can be used by fixing into the end of the handle. I believe they were used for watch or clock repairs. The longest piece is just under 3 inches (7.5 cm) long.
This little TOOL gets me through my day. As a Type 2 diabetic I need my glucose meter to make sure I stay healthy. A poke (or 3) a day keeps the doctor away!
Thanks in advance for all that have and are stopping by .... I am enjoying looking at your images, but injured tendon in right hand means I'm not supposed to be typing. Shhh ... don't tell my doc!

Each specialty has its own special tools, which must have been conceived and made out of experience?
Bettering the tools all the time for the job?
Here, two specialists, Willem Vermandere and his woodcuts and Vincent Flachet, a luthier...
We had the honour to visit their workplace.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)
