Back from the east coast, it was a much shorter trip from Oakland to Hercules and Pinole for a little walkabout near Bayfront Park.

I started thinking about building Track Pans recently for use on our club's train layouts. A steam heavy RR like the PennLUG needs to get it's water from somewhere and with my PRR steam fleet and Nate being suduced by the New York Central (two big users of pans) they just seem right for us. So I spent the better part of my Saturday researching Pennsylvania RR style track pans (fortunately I have a few books on the Pennsy) and then did my best to translate into LEGO.

This isn't perfect but should still be a good representation of Pennsylvania RR style practice. The pans themselves were pretty narrow (only about 19inches) so I wanted to keep mine to 2 studs wide. Along each side of the track for the length of the pans the Pennsy would typically have cobble stone lined runoff channels to manage spillage and keep erosion of the roadbed to a minimum. A locomotive moving at speed while scooping could throw up a lot of water.

Actual track pans would be quite a bit longer than this (and when PennLUG eventually builds ours they will be) but this should give some idea of what I'm going for.

Now I need to design a pump house for the water pumps and to provide steam heat to keep the pans from freezing in winter.

Not built for looking pretty, just to be brutally fast around a track.

The Sorocco observatory consists of 27 independent antennas, each of which has a dish diameter of 25 meters. The antennas are arrayed along the three arms of a Y-shape (each measuring 13 miles long). This cleverly engineered setup means that the huge radio dishes can be moved around and shifted into various positions, all acting in unison to create one huge virtual antenna. Each configuration gives a different directional bearing, opening a window to the distant universe above.

These bear tracks were really fresh, we saw them during today's hike. We didn't miss this black bear by much.
