I decided to build a new 'locomotive' for Brickvention, and thought a railmotor would be a quicker and easier build than another steam loco.
Built from 1948, the 102hp and 153hp railmotors consisted of a 4 wheel driving unit with a trailing passenger unit mounted on a single bogie.
The model has a PF train motor under the trailing unit, with the wheels on the motor unit unpowered. The motor and trailing units can slide apart by ~1 stud allowing the railmotor to handle standard Lego curves, but close up on straights and wide-radius curves.
Back in the good old days (well from the enthusiast point of view) you could even find a gaggle of VRs in Devon away from the masses which were still in use in Cornwall.
This is Tavistock outstation in the morning after the school runs.
1201 was a Torpoint VR but was covering for shortages especially as that day it was working the 185 to Bere Alston normally the haunt of the Merc Minis!
Sadly 1201 was written off by a new Torpoint driver a few months later when it hit a low wall.
The other two VRs 1155 and 1262 survived for a good few more years the latter being one of my personal favourites.
With the annual Torbay half marathon taking place on 26th June this year, the usual diversions were in place, with buses routing via Preston Down, Ring Road & Fleet Street.
Pictured heading up Fleet Street we see Rail River Link's Bristol VR, UWV614S, with the daily 100 Torquay-Totnes service. With the fleet's Bristol VRs in their final summer this could well be the final time we see one of their fine machines making their way through Torquay town center.

Love how sharp this turned out. I'm having more success with the close-up lens on my new Lomo' Instant Wide +. Fuji Instax Wide film + bulb setting.
Antique lock and key...a gift from my daughter. Added to a few bits of pieced-together chain, this is now a favorite necklace.

This former Tees Bristol VR was identified as former West Riding NWR 508P. One of a batch of four this one numbered 759 was new in May 1976. It too was languishing at Norths, Sherburn in Elmet on December 5th 1994.
T R Coaches of Treorchy was still operating two Bristol VRs on school contracts for Rhondda Cynon Taf CBC as late as 2012- ECW-bodied JMB 401T, new to Crosville, and former Cardiff Bus Alexander AL-bodied CTX 396V.
The latter had been acquired in 1999 and was to see service until 2014, whereupon she was sold to the Cardiff Transport Preservation Group. I believe that this was only for spares, though I'm happy to be corrected.
This shot from June 2012 shows her sedately leaving the depot on her way to Treorchy Comprehensive School to take up an afternoon run.
A photo of JMB 401T can be seen here:

I had an hour this morning on my way to show the new camera off at Samy's Camera in LA. So, a trip to the studio was in order.
I had arranged to meet a model at the studio. But that didn't work, so plan "B"! I had this peacock feather laying around and with an addition of an over sized drop of water...
The lighting was left over from the shot with my dog, Oliver. I killed the rim light and went with the single flash in the Orb.
The ISO was pushed up to 400 ISO so that the flashes were more efficient at the ƒ/18 setting. ƒ/18 was selected for the added depth of field I wanted when working this close and handheld.

The National day of Qatar ( 18 December)
Every December 18th, we celebrate Qatar National Day in commemoration of the historic day in 1878 when Sheikh Jassem, the founder of the State of Qatar, succeeded his father, Sheikh Muhammad Bin Thani, as the ruler and led the country towards unity.
December 18th is the day we remember how Qatari national unity was achieved and how Qatar became a distinct and respected nation out of a society torn apart by conflicting tribal loyalties, devoid of security and order, and overrun by invaders.
Qatar's National Day is about honoring the heroes, leaders and people who built this country.
It's also a chance to reflect on the principles on which Qatar was founded - truth, justice, friendship and brotherhood and to remember the values of generosity, loyalty responsibility and sacrifice which are key to Qatar's success today.
Qatar nation has proved in the past, present, and God willing, the future, to be capable of bringing prosperity and building good relationships, both internally and throughout the Arab and Islamic world.
Qatar has proved that it's more than just oil, gas and commerce, but also a guiding light for education, knowledge, innovation and freedom.
Sheik Jassem died on July 17the 1913 ending a fruitful and memorable life.
He was succeeded by his son Sheikh Abdulla bin Jassem Al Thani.
MEANING OF THE FLAG : The white portion of the Qatar flag symbolizes peace and the maroon, which was formerly red, represents the Kharijite Muslims of Qatar and the bloodshed in Qatar's many wars. The serrated edge represents Qatar as the 9th member of the 'reconciled Emirates' of the Arabian Gulf at the conclusion of the Qatari-British treaty in 1916.
