I kind of miss the old days of Macro Monday’s where you could post a couple of ideas!

HTT!

Mysterious sci-fi weapon, also based on an early design of mine.

Threw some spikes on that bitch for good measure.

Possibly one of the most photographed cars I have seen locally. Have been wondering about posting this one for sometime. My first car was a sedan version of this. Had planned to restore, but soon found other things to spend my money on.

Citroen XM series two 2.0CT VSX auto finished in the very attractive Silver Moss Metallic. Photo taken en route to the East Midlands Citroen meeting at Burghley House.

For sale at 1,800 Euros with no CT, a bit of a risk?.....

Here are some Missouri Pacific rolling stock shots. This T&P boxcar in MoW service was sitting in the Putnam team track.

Camera Nikon D700

Lens 16-35, f4 VR

Exposure 0.033 sec (1/30)

Aperture f/7.1

Focal Length 24 mm

ISO Speed 200

I took this picture without tripod at Ex = 1/30s, how i love nikon's VR-2 technic :))

Act 10

When the last round in the front mag is chambered a switch is flipped with a one shot delay so the next round fired will be using the gas tube instead of the direct blowback. (NOTE: The order shown in the picture has been deemed backwards, there would be more pressure from the gas system so the gas system shall be used for the rear mag. Just move the lil gas port explosions to the right spot in your head ;) Thank you Ryan for helping me with that)

The switch is needed to keep fire rate roughly the same between the mags as the bolt will require more force to retract to the second mag.

I will be doing a part two showing how the GL works as well ^.^

And yes I realize there are no sights. The user may attach w.e type he/she wishes :)

These three XM voitures are all from the first generation. The XM was launched in May 1989. It was designed by Studio Bertone.

In September 1991 an attractive estate version was launched.

The XM received a minor facelift in July 1994.

Found at the yard in front of the empty shop window of Auto Garage Franz-Joseph Servais in a small suburb west from Sankt-Vith.

I had not the impression that this garage company was still active.

All license plates were removed.

1995.

Since Aurizon’s take over of the One Rail Australia business, it’s become increasingly uncommon to see two CLF/CLP class locomotives paired up without other motive power outside of local transfers and intrastate grain traffic, so seeing two CL’s on an Intermodal service was a welcomed change as CLP16/CLF6 run Aurizon’s 6MX1 from North Dynon to Spencer Jct via Port Pirie through the locality of Calomba on Saturday the 21st of December 2024.

After arrival in Port Pirie, this train will shunt to enable fellow Aurizon Intermodal service 6SP1 to arrive and add the In-Line Fuelling wagon, the Crew Car and the loading for the journey West to Forrestfield. The Streamliners and a sole flat wagon containing ILF tanks will then run to Spencer Jct and stable to form 4114S back to Adelaide with 7PS1’s loading on Monday.

Hired power from Railfirst Asset Management dominates this train on most services however reliability issues with the GL and CM classes has seen Aurizon’s locomotives featured more regularly in the month since I photographed this service last. It’s expected that further orders of ACD class units due to arrive during 2025 will enable the two GL class locomotives to be dehired while the CM’s will remain, further Aurizon locomotives from the Eastern Bulk business unit are rumoured to arrive during the new year for traffic such as MX/XM services.

Citroën XM 30 V6 Tecnic at the Techno Classica In Essen.

Xiamen, China, 2015.

Sorry for the quality, this was rather hastily taken. I'd seen it on the road a few weeks beforehand so was pleased to find it parked-up.

Quite an early example, although they apparently came out on a G-reg.

Seems to have been off-road for a few years, with no MoTs online until 2019. It'd covered 133,201 miles at its MoT in 2020.
