Generally I'm not one to promote shops very often, but my friend Funky makes some pretty freaking gorgeous tattoos.

One Rail Australia locomotives CLF6/CLP8/G535/CLP17/G533 lift #2182 loaded Tailem Bend to Port Adelaide grain train upgrade between Callington and Kanmantoo, South Australia, on 28 April 2022.
The orange locos are Morrison Knudsen CLF/CLP rebuilds dating back to 1993 - originally built by Clyde Engineering for the Commonwealth Railways in 1970-72. The two green and yellow 'boxes' were also built by Clyde in 1988 for Victorian state operator V/Line. Eventually they ended up with Freightliner Australia before passing to Genesee & Wyoming Australia and then One Rail.

The Runcorn Folly Lane branch ran from Runcorn station to serve multiple terminals around Folly Lane and Weston Point. Originally the sidings were not connected to the mainline but the connection, known as the Weston Point light railway was built by Colonel Stevens and opened in 1922.
In the 1990s the last traffic was salt from Salt Union at Weston Point, which was railed by Transrail's Enterprise network to Dalry.
In the late 1990s Warrington was one of the few remaining 'hotspots' for class 31s, with multiple 'trips' operated by the veteran locomotives to various terminals in the North West. 31434 retained it's BR blue livery, albeit without the BR double arrow symbol.
The Folly Lane branch was unusual in that it was electrified, with electric operation through to the exchange sidings on the branch. However, the line was de-electrified in the early 1990s.
One of my favorite meals for a cold night. Tastes great to me, though Ruth cannot find an exact duplicate of her preferred English sausages ..

1985 was about the last year that plain blue locos and full matching sets of blue/grey stock were the norm. From 1986 onwards, the new liveries proliferated and messy mixed rakes became commonplace
Sometimes the unexpected comes along – such as this old banger, which parked up in front of the house for a couple of days and then moved on.
And just to think... many years ago this was a shiny, smart, gleaming MGB, someone's pride and joy. But what it is now is anyone’s guess; it’s certainly a hybrid.
Because it’s seemingly a rusty tin can falling to bits, a neighbour checked it out on the DVLC database – and to his astonishment discovered that it’s taxed, insured and in possession of a valid MoT certificate. How did that happen?!

I decided some weeks ago that I wanted to try my hand at some firework pictures. So on Guy Fawkes night Nov 5th I took myself down to Worthing pier and managed to capture the local display. I was happy with what I got but it was all with the plan in mind to go and capture the fireworks at the Spinnaker tower a week later.
So on Thursday 10th I rushed through my day at work as best I could. Got home walked the dogs and then made the 45 mile trip to Gosport where I had decided I wanted to capture the fireworks from.
Traffic wasnt good, being rush hour it took me two and a half hours to get there. On arrival I parked up and checked my phone. My partner had text to say that I had left a camera bag at home. My heart skipped a beat, no, please no. I had packed my bags the day before as I knew it would be a rush on the day. I even double, triple checked to make sure i had everything. The only trouble was I took a bag out of a bag and sadly never replaced it. I couldnt believe that I had just driven all this way and my plans had been shot down in flames.
Calm down, calm down. You brought a spare camera and an alternative lens. You can do this just relax compose yourself. So I started assembling my secondary kit only to realise my tripod head was still attached to my camera of choice. Thats it then. Game over, go home with your head hung in shame. How could you be so stupid???
Hang on, you have another head from another tripod in your bag. That surely cant fit this tripod though? It did. Omg am I still on???? No your remote shutter release is with your other camera. Aggghhhhhh
Wait, you packed another spare one of those as well.
I eventually sorted myself out and made the walk down to beside the Gosport ferry where I had already decided would be best to get my pictures.
I arrived there with around 90 minutes to spare. I immediately got chatting to a nice couple of guys who had tucked themselves away in the corner who were also going to snap the fireworks. They had been there the previous year and talked about the previous display. Great I thought things are finally looking up.
I took plenty of test shots and soon saw the tug boats come out with the fireworks on. I only had my 24-105 lens which I really wasnt convinced would be wide enough. I wanted to use my 16-35 but there was no chance of that now. I would have to make the best of a bad job.
Once the fireworks started I soon realised that my lens was no where near wide enough so I made the decision to not try and photograph the Spinnaker tower and the fireworks but just get the fireworks and try and make a panorama later.
This is what you see here. 2 shots put together in Lightroom.
I managed to salvage something from the day.
Next year it will be mine, o yes it will be mine.
As always many thanks to everyone who takes the time to look, like and comment on my pictures its much appreciated.
