If you really really want it; look as disinterested as possible. One of the nations largest car shows began this weekend on the gulf coast and goes through Friday. cruisinthecoast.com/event-info/
Following the former Milwaukee Road from Montana into South Dakota the next day seemed to yield a couple dead trains and crew transport vehicles looking for them. And some country that looked pretty desolate even for the High Plains. I think that once the ranchers quit shipping their cattle on the railroad, local business was pretty much finished on this part of the Milwaukee, but anyone who knows differently is welcome to enlighten me. Finally I stumbled into a LIVE one here in the southwest corner of North Dakota: a local from Hettinger came into town behind these three units, set out some cars, parked the train in the siding and - you guessed it - the crew tied down the train and hopped into a crew transport van. This is just after the cars were set out and they were going back to their train (in the siding to the right of the shot), so I just enjoyed the views of that classy rebuilt GP30 on the point and headed east again.

Second in line of "purdy" vehicles. :) We had been wanting to do this for a while now as well. My brick built version is solid "as a tank." Not that this one is less solid. I kept my chassis that I had used before, so still pretty solid. :) I can get 2 gunners and 6 Marines, or 8 Marines, or PA's jeep and misc in the rear area. Austin is already gathering the pieces. Credit to PA for the "purdy" parts. :)
What to do when you have a spare PS type B10M sitting around? Well, you chop a bit off here, weld a panel in here, relocate the fuel tanks, add some weight to the back do various other jobs that no sane person would dream of doing and then you have a unique recovery vehicle.
New to Cumberland and latterly with Merseyside within the Stagecoach group, K748DAO is now Howards Travel's wrecker. All the work has been done in house by the owners Father and incorporates a kitchen and seating area, TV/DVD player as well as a work station for on the road repairs. What started out as a project is now reality, and boy does it look good!

While Long Rock Depot is being upgraded the resident class 08 and the spare Night Riviera vehicles often find themselves in Slopers Siding out of the way. There are currently parts of the depot with the track removed while new maintenance facilities are installed.
Tailgating is the act of driving on a road too close to the vehicle in front, such that the distance between the two vehicles does not guarantee that stopping to avoid collision is possible.
The safe distance for following another vehicle varies depending on various factors including vehicle speed, weather, visibility and other road conditions. Some jurisdictions may require a minimal gap of a specified distance or time interval. When following heavy vehicles or in less than ideal conditions (e.g. low light or rain), a longer distance is recommended.
Tailgating can occur because of a lack of perceived risk in so doing. Thus, it is done unconsciously or negligently, very often by people who consider themselves safe drivers and generally obey the other rules of the road. Evidence shows that more experienced drivers are more likely to be involved in rear-end collisions, possibly because they overestimate their skill and become complacent about allowing sufficient distance to avoid an accident.
In its most uncivic form, it can be a case of road rage and/or intimidation. An example would be where the tailgating driver (the driver in the following vehicle) threatens damage to the leading vehicle and its occupants by driving aggressively — perhaps also with use of headlights and horn — to bully the leading vehicle's driver to get out of the way. The driver being tailgated might not wish to comply, especially if doing so would involve breaking the law, such as by increasing speed beyond the speed limit or changing lanes without due regard for safety. Note, however, that in some jurisdictions flashing high beams is a normal and polite method used to signal the intention to overtake. Tailgating can also be dangerous to the tailgater, especially if they are driving closely behind a large vehicle (such as a tractor-trailer, or gas tanker). If the leading vehicle decelerates suddenly (such as when encountering a traffic jam, traffic lights, avoiding pedestrians, etc.), the tailgater has a high risk of causing a rear-end collision.
A form of deliberate tailgating known as slipstreaming, "draft-assisted forced stop", or "draft-assisted forced auto stop" (D-FAS) is a technique which has been used by people known as hypermilers to achieve greater fuel economy. D-FAS involves turning off the engine and gliding in neutral while tailgating a larger vehicle, in order to take advantage of the reduced wind resistance in its immediate wake. Note that this practice is extremely dangerous: while tailgating itself is inherently risky, the danger of collision is increased with D-FAS as power for power brakes can be lost after a few applications of the brake pedal and, with older cars, the pressure that causes power steering to function can be lost as well.

For sale on eBay at the moment, for £1,500. I would love to own this car, but those horrid black plates would be going straight in the bin. I saw this car on eBay and decided to go looking for it on my Thursday off work. This design of Audi is one of my favourites, and I really would be interested if I had the means.
67014 stands on the Redditch branch platform at Barnt Green after terminating here.The loco was booked to run fom Kings Norton to Hereford but finished here and went back. All the interest today was light engine moves!
