Waking up on a Saturday morning to the sound of drills, hammers and chisels as the next door neighbour has a new orangery built. Yes, I wondered what it was as well ā¦ itās a conservatory with brick walls. Itās a SATURDAY for Godās sake ā¦ have the weekend off!! Anyway, to escape the racket for an hour, I found a quiet country lane with a bridge ā¦ and the one freight of the day (and the Hull Trains Paragon set, the passing of which releases it).

The PGA aggregate wagons were introduced in the early 1970s and leased by Procor to several users such as Foster Yeoman. The PGA was fully air-braked and has appeared through its life is a wide variety of liveries.
This Lego version is somewhat of a "draft" since I am not completely convinced about its height/length ratio and the "impression" of ladder/handrails with various "pipe" Lego bits. I apologize in advance for the gratuitous use of "stickers" but I approach this hobby with a similar attitude as my OO scale railway modelling; Lego is simply a different scale in which to scratchbuild. Nonetheless, I like the way the MOC comes to life with the appropriate use of stickers.
Since I seem to be on a bit of a "Foster Yeoman" theme, I am currently working on a PHA hopper wagon as well (I think they call this a slippery slope). Once again, stay tuned! As an aside, I hooked up a rake of these wagons (virtually) in LDD to the Class 59 and it looked amazing--really tempted to build in real brick now!

Making a very rare appearance on the Sea Wall and indeed Devon itself is Bardon Aggregates liveried Class 59/0 number 59005 'Kenneth J. Painter', seen working the especially early (179 minutes to be precise!) 7Z27 Burngullow to Exeter Riverside empty aggregate hoppers past Parson's Tunnel between Teignmouth and Dawlish, whilst the sea gets in one of its more choppy moods.
The Class 59's were ordered by Foster Yeoman in order to create a privately owned fleet of high powered diesel locomotives so as not to rely on the slew of unreliable British designs such as the Class 56 and 37. Built by the General Motors Corporation in Canada and using an engine derived from an American EMD SD40-2, the first batch was delivered in 1985 and began working in the Southern areas of England, primarily transporting aggregate trains from Merehead Quarry in Somerset to Acton Yard in West London.
59005 was the last of the original batch to be built for Foster Yeoman, entering service in 1989. It is one of 4 locomotives still in use with the company, with 59003 being transferred to Germany in 1997 in preparation for that country's introduction of the Class 66s.

Aggregate Industries liveried class 59 locomotive 59005 'Kenneth J Painter' is seen here rounding the curve at New Mill as it heads for the capital with another load of Somerset limestone. The working is the daily (Monday to Friday) 7A09 07:12 Merehead to Acton train of aggregate wagons. 27/04/16.
A shot I have done multiple times, however with the crud only clearing a short while beforehand, a hasty visit to the local spot was made. DB Schenker liveried 59201 is seen heading along the Melksham single line as it passes Monkton, Broughton Gifford, with a 7C66 17:50 Wootton Bassett to Merehead train of empty aggregate hopper wagons. The former National Power owned locomotive is hauling a train of mostly former coal carrying wagons, both now at home on Mendip Rail traffic. 03/06/16.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rose is a perennial flowering shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. [1]
The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plants fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from tiny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.
The name originates from Latin rosa, borrowed through Oscan from colonial Greek in southern Italy: rhodon (Aeolic form: wrodon), from Aramaic wurrdÄ, from Assyrian wurtinnu, from Old Iranian *warda (cf. Armenian vard, Avestan warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wĆ¢r).[2][3]
Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products.
The leaves of most species are 5ā15 centimetres long, pinnate, with (3ā) 5ā9 (ā13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. The vast majority of roses are deciduous, but a few (particularly in Southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species roses have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. The ovary is inferior, developing below the petals and sepals.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Rose species that produce open-faced flowers are attractive to pollinating bees and other insects, thus more apt to produce hips. Many of the domestic cultivars are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5ā160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are actually prickles ā outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and R. pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight spines, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses only have vestigial prickles that have no points.
Roses are popular garden shrubs, as well as the most popular and commonly sold florists' flowers. In addition to their great economic importance as a florists crop, roses are also of great value to the perfume industry.
Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use; most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having mutated into additional petals. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
Twentieth-century rose breeders generally emphasized size and colour, producing large, attractive blooms with little or no scent. Many wild and "old-fashioned" roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet scent.
Roses thrive in temperate climates, though certain species and cultivars can flourish in sub-tropical and even tropical climates, especially when grafted onto appropriate rootstock.
Rose pruning, sometimes regarded as a horticultural art form, is largely dependent on the type of rose to be pruned, the reason for pruning, and the time of year it is at the time of the desired pruning.
Most Old Garden Roses of strict European heritage (albas, damasks, gallicas, etc.) are shrubs that bloom once yearly, in late spring or early summer, on two-year-old (or older) canes. As such, their pruning requirements are quite minimal, and are overall similar to any other analogous shrub, such as lilac or forsythia. Generally, only old, spindly canes should be pruned away, to make room for new canes. One-year-old canes should never be pruned because doing so will remove next year's flower buds. The shrubs can also be pruned back lightly, immediately after the blooms fade, to reduce the overall height or width of the plant. In general, pruning requirements for OGRs are much less laborious and regimented than for Modern hybrids.
Modern hybrids, including the hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, modern miniatures, and English roses, have a complex genetic background that almost always includes China roses (R. chinensis). China roses were evergrowing, everblooming roses from humid subtropical regions that bloomed constantly on any new vegetative growth produced during the growing season. Their modern hybrid descendants exhibit similar habits: Unlike Old Garden Roses, modern hybrids bloom continuously (until stopped by frost) on any new canes produced during the growing season. They therefore require pruning away of any spent flowering stem, in order to divert the plant's energy into producing new growth and thence new flowers.
Additionally, Modern Hybrids planted in cold-winter climates will almost universally require a "hard" annual pruning (reducing all canes to 8"ā12" in height) in early spring. Again, because of their complex China rose background, Modern Hybrids are typically not as cold-hardy as European OGRs, and low winter temperatures often desiccate or kill exposed canes. In spring, if left unpruned, these damanged canes will often die back all the way to the shrub's root zone, resulting in a weakened, disfigured plant. The annual "hard" pruning of hybrid teas, floribundas, etc. should generally be done in early spring; most gardeners coincide this pruning with the blooming of forsythia shrubs. Canes should be cut about 1/2" above a vegetative bud (identifiable as a point on a cane where a leaf once grew).
For both Old Garden Roses and Modern Hybrids, any weak, damaged or diseased growth should be pruned away completely, regardless of the time of year. Any pruning of any rose should also be done so that the cut is made at a forty five degree angle above a vegetative bud. This helps the pruned stem callus over more quickly, and also mitigates moisture buildup over the cut, which can lead to disease problems.
For all general rose pruning (including cutting flowers for arrangements), sharp secateurs (hand-held, sickle-bladed pruners) should be used to cut any growth 1/2" or less in diameter. For canes of a thickness greater than 1/2", pole loppers or a small handsaw are generally more effective; secateurs may be damaged or broken in such instances.
Deadheading is the simple practice of manually removing any spent, faded, withered, or discoloured flowers from rose shrubs over the course of the blooming season. The purpose of deadheading is to encourage the plant to focus its energy and resources on forming new offshoots and blooms, rather than in fruit production. Deadheading may also be perfomed, if spent flowers are unsightly, for aethestic purposes. Roses are particularly responsive to deadheading.
Deadheading causes different effects on different varieties of roses. For continual blooming varieties, whether Old Garden roses or more modern hybrid varieties, deadheading allows the rose plant to continue forming new shoots, leaves, and blooms. For "once-blooming" varieties (that bloom only once each season), deadheading has the effect of causing the plant to form new green growth, even though new blooms will not form until the next blooming season.
For most rose gardeners, deadheading is used to refresh the growth of the rose plants to keep the rose plants strong, vibrant, and productive.
The rose has always been valued for its beauty and has a long history of symbolism. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with their goddesses of love referred to as Aphrodite and Venus. In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase sub rosa, or "under the rose", means to keep a secret ā derived from this ancient Roman practice.
Early Christians identified the five petals of the rose with the five wounds of Christ. Despite this interpretation, their leaders were hesitant to adopt it because of its association with Roman excesses and pagan ritual. The red rose was eventually adopted as a symbol of the blood of the Christian martyrs. Roses also later came to be associated with the Virgin Mary.
Rose culture came into its own in Europe in the 1800s with the introduction of perpetual blooming roses from China. There are currently thousands of varieties of roses developed for bloom shape, size, fragrance and even for lack of prickles.
Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses (including Isis and Aphrodite), and is often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary. 'Rose' means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as Romance languages, Greek, and Polish).
The rose is the national flower of England and the United States[4], as well as being the symbol of England Rugby, and of the Rugby Football Union. It is also the provincial flower of Yorkshire and Lancashire in England (the white rose and red rose respectively) and of Alberta (the wild rose), and the state flower of four US states: Iowa and North Dakota (R. arkansana), Georgia (R. laevigata), and New York[5] (Rosa generally). Portland, Oregon counts "City of Roses" among its nicknames, and holds an annual Rose Festival.
Roses are occasionally the basis of design for rose windows, such windows comprising five or ten segments (the five petals and five sepals of a rose) or multiples thereof; however most Gothic rose windows are much more elaborate and were probably based originally on the wheel and other symbolism.
A red rose (often held in a hand) is a symbol of socialism or social democracy; it is also used as a symbol by the British and Irish Labour Parties, as well as by the French, Spanish (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party), Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Brazilian, Dutch (Partij van de Arbeid) and European socialist parties. This originated when the red rose was used as a badge by the marchers in the May 1968 street protests in Paris. White Rose was a World War II non violent resistance group in Germany.
Roses are often portrayed by artists. The French artist Pierre-Joseph RedoutƩ produced some of the most detailed paintings of roses.
Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The Rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.
Other impressionists including Claude Monet and Paul CĆ©zanne have paintings of roses among their works.
Rose perfumes are made from attar of roses or rose oil, which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. The technique originated in Persia (the word Rose itself is from Persian) then spread through Arabia and India, but nowadays about 70% to 80% of production is in the Rose Valley near Kazanluk in Bulgaria, with some production in Qamsar in Iran and Germany.[citation needed]
The Kaaba in Mecca is annually washed by the Iranian rose water from Qamsar. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In the French rose oil industry Rosa centifolia is used. The oil, pale yellow or yellow-grey in color, is sometimes called 'Rose Absolute' oil to distinguish it from diluted versions. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
The main constituents of attar of roses are the fragrant alcohols geraniol and l-citronellol; and rose camphor, an odourless paraffin. Ī²-Damascenone is also a significant contributor to the scent.

I don't know why I took the back end of a Scammell tipper body - anyway - in the background are the trailers for Artics - I think they have donkey engines on ; i vaguely recall the use of hired [ Seddon Atkinson ] artic units probably for the supply to of aggregate to Balfour Beatty for the M25 [ they had batching plants at Chertsey , Byfleet and around about Stoke D Abernon ].
I also recall that for a while HALL AGGS THAMES VALLEY had at one time 2 or 3 FIAT artics which had a payload of about 15 tonne [ keep in mind at the time the payload of other artics was just about 21 tonne ] - they had come from another part of RMC

The CPWS Aggregate General is a Type-F warpship designed for sustained ship-ship combat as well as extended warpspace travel. Often times Type-F warpships are seen on the fringes of Coalition space where they will conduct reconnaissance or smuggling missions far beyond Imperial borders.

Description:
Tarsin shipyards have long been famous for being the only suppliers of warpships to the Imperial armadas. Each ship is assembled with the utmost care in the zero-G shipyards of Tarsis' outlying moon. There, every warship undergoes a lengthy construction period, often spanning many years with more complex vessels being constructed with only estimates on launch dates.
The time and care taken when constructing a warpship are absolutely necessary to ensure the ship's drives and sensors are in perfect tune. Sometimes warpships are completed but stay in drydock for several months as their systems undergo the most extreme of tests. Thousands of warpjumps are then required for the ships to be considered combat ready, and often a captain will retire before he has seen the enemy.
Warpships, unlike other Coalition vessels, travel almost exclusively through Warpspace and will communicate with the material universe in short bursts relayed via automated Warpspace beacons. In combat warpships are unpredictable opponents and will emerge into the material for only a moment to loose a deadly volley of fire onto an unsuspecting enemy. Though captains rely heavily on this hit and run tactic, warships are capable aggressors in open combat and each deck bristles with hundreds of ship-ship cannons, missile bays and countermeasures.
I'm back in the game. This is the first Coalition ship to be officialy* released in just over three years. Enjoy!
