Bryrup Vrads, Denmark on a Triangle Railcar, 18 Aug 1984
In August and September 1984, the California Air National Guard gave me a paid working vacation to Karup, Denmark, with time in Wiesbaden, Germany before and after our time in Denmark.
Karup is about dead center of Jutland, the peninsula that sticks up like a thumb from northern Germany.
Jutland has an extensive railway network by US standards and in years past had an even more extensive net. An old atlas that I have shows lines going seemingly everywhere, including a route that ran through Karup. By 1984, that was abandoned and replaced with an hourly bus service and the rail grade was a bike/hike trail.
Another abandoned line was the Horsens-Bryrup-Silkeborg Railway, a bit east of Karup. 5 km of that line through a scenic stretch of lakes, hills and forests is preserved as the Veteranbaner Bryrup-Vrads. Bryrup is a town of about 1500 people which the operational base of the railway. Vrads has all of 200 inhabitants, but if you just ride the railway to end of track and back, you might not see them, as the station is situated a bit out of town.
I took the bus from Karup to Herning, and an MR DMU to Vjele, which is situated on a fjord on Jutland's east coast. If you think a a spectacular mountain valley when you hear fjord, well, in Danish it means "inlet" or "bay" and a Danish fjord does not look like a Norwegian fjord.
I had a bit of time to kill in Vjele before the bus to Bryrup, and did a quick look around the town including some trackside time, where I got MZs on freight and passenger trains.
The bus to Bryrup dropped me off near the veteran railway. I got there before operations started and saw another couple looking around at the Triangle rail car set and Class F 0-6-0T.
"Kein Dampf", said the man. "Ja, kein Dampf, aber ein sehr interestant benzinmekanische Triebwagen." Having established that we spoke German and I spoke it with an American accent, I think we switched to English. (If you don't speak German, he said, "No steam" and I replied, "Yes, no steam, but a very interesting gasoline-mechanical rail car.")
In a short time, railway volunteers arrived, fired up the railcar, a 1929 Triangle (See veteranbanen.dk/index.html for information about the line and its equipment. The site is in Danish, but Google translate will help if you are using Chrome.), sold us tickets, and away went our time machine through the woods and past lakes to Vrads station. Perhaps Vrads was supposed to grow, as its station is far more impressive than you would expect for a town of 200 people.
I stopped in Vrads for a while and photographed a couple of Scandia railcars from the 1950s as well as other equipmetn the line had stored there. The website shows that the Scandias are in far better shape today than when I saw them 34 years ago.
The Triangles came back and I photographed their arrival, then rode them back to Bryrup. The crew allowed people to ride in the cab and the German couple and I did so.
I noticed a rustic halt along Kvindso, one of the lakes and walked to that to catch the Triangles after photographing their departure from Bryrup.
Google Maps today shows more houses along the ROW in Bryrup, along with what might be a new building for the railway. The website mentions another Class F 0-6-0T as well as a 2-6-0T that I did not see in 1984.
From my photos, it looks like I left Bryrup toward sundown on the bus back to Vejle. I arrived back at Herning after dark in time to see an MZ on IC 171 from Copenhagen.
A good day out.
Looking from the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company's Triangle railway station through Stansfield Mill Road bridge towards Sowerby Bridge (Down direction)
the reverse side of the "tiled" triangle fold. each triangle vertice makes a pretty cool hexagon on the bottom. it's a bit of a tricky fold, but not too bad once you get used to it.
This is made from a frosty plastic paper material that I was told is some sort of drafting paper. I cut out the shape: four equilateral triangles with side length equal to the width of the light box frame, all sharing a common vertex, plus a flange along the base of each, to tuck into light box frame. Fold and crease along triangle edges, and install.
The facade of a building just down the road from the Aga Khan Centre is covered in a mesh of triangles. The harsh, bright sunlight of last Saturday made it an interesting challenge...

The original Corn Exchange Building, so badly damaged in the bombing of 1996, has been wonderfully ressurrected as the Triangle - the exterior of the old building faithfully preserved and can be seen best from Exchange Square, in the newly designated Millennium Quarter, while inside a new state-of-the-art shopping mall has been created.
Despite its reputation as "Cottonopolis", Manchester's wealth was not only built on cotton, but also as a distribution centre of foodstuffs and many other raw materials to the surrounding region. The Manchester Ship Canal and Manchester Docks (more properly in Salford) had obviated the need to rely on materials from Liverpool, and by 1879 Manchester was attracting thousands of dealers every week to its various food and material exchanges.
In 1903 the new Corn & Produce Exchange was designed to handle regional trading in agricultural produce. Its vast hall with innumerable tiered side offices is dominated by a central glass dome. Despite suffering heavy bombing during World War II, many of its original fittings survive including its several imposing entrances and porches with their bronze and wrought ironwork.
For many year's, (up to the time of the bombing), the building acted as a covered market hall, a Mecca for students and specialising in "alternative" produce - vegetarian foods, numerous "New Age" and Occult shops, palmists, tarot readers, books, aromatherapy prerequisites, music and clothing. Well worth a browse, even if nothing took your fancy.
It now serves as office space around the outer sides of the building, with the interior space used as an upmarket shopping precinct. The modern feel of the shopping area contrasts with a lot of hidden original tiling and staircases that are found in the rest of the building, unfortunately not open to the public, but just seen by the office workers.

Old-fashioned No Smoking sign. Unfortunately I've completely forgotten which stock this was on- possibly Q stock? Upminster depot open day. From the archives.
The top is finished. Now I can think about the quilting. However, I do not t
hink that I can finish it before the QAL deadline.
One square sheet. Designed and folded by John Montroll.

This is a peyote stitched bracelet, using Miyuki Delica beads, sewn around a cuff form; black fabric lines the other side.
The peyote stitch is great for creating geometric patterns like this.
Benefits of Trikonasana(Triangle pose)
Reduces blood pressure, stress and anxiety.
Cure indigestion.
Gives flexibility to genitals, hamstrings and hips.
Transactional calm the mind.
Stimulate the function of the kidney.
This is the setup I used for my penrose triangle shot.
Having set up the two horizontal and one vertical rows of dice (die?) I then shot this configuration from direcly in front of the front corner of the vertical row. You will need to play with this angle and the height of your tripod to get the right angle.
Once I was happy with the angle I took 2 dice from the top of the vertical row and re-shot the configuration.
The 2 images were then combined in (in my case) GIMP. I'm sure there are many different ways to photog this... just play with configurations and angles until you are happy.
