The twilight of the day and of the season. Hibernation is near. Time to gather the color and tuck it away. Just remember where you put it so you can nourish your soul come mid February.
In 2023 zocht het opkomende Certus Rail Solutions krachtige elektrische locomotieven om goederentreinen en bijzondere transporten van A naar B te brengen. Ze kozen ervoor om drie locomotieven van de NMBS over te nemen, afkomstig uit de iconische reeks 27. De locs droegen de nummers 2707, 2731 en 2753AA. Enkel de 2707 en 2731 waren bedoeld om effectief diensten te verzekeren; de 2753AA werd gebruikt als onderdelenleverancier.
De twee 27’ers werden drie jaar lang intensief ingezet voor talloze transporten, waaronder hun bekende wekelijkse Sinterodolimiet-trein vanuit Roosendaal naar Gent en Ghlin, het trekken van de European Sleeper in februari, en een TSP fotorit.
Nu de NMBS na bijna 44 jaar afscheid neemt van dit type locomotieven, met nog amper zes exemplaren in dienst, leefde de hoop om in 2026 nog te kunnen genieten van de 2707 en 2731, ditmaal in goederendienst. Helaas kregen ze de afgelopen maanden steeds vaker te maken met technische problemen, waardoor hun betrouwbaarheid in vraag werd gesteld. In september 2025 namen DBC en SETG de Sinterodolimiet over en werden de reeks 27-locs nog maar zelden ingezet, wat duidelijk maakte dat het einde nabij was.
Op 6 oktober 2025 werd officieel bekendgemaakt dat Certus de 2707 en 2731 uit dienst heeft genomen. Om afscheid te nemen keren we even terug naar april 2025: twee dagen na de TSP-fotorit mocht het duo opnieuw de Sinterodolimiet trekken naar Saint-Ghislain, uitzonderlijk via een omleiding langs Wetteren en verder naar Vorst. Na een mislukte poging in Nispen gingen we meteen in de achtervolging; na wat vloeken en bidden kon ik deze bekende samenstelling eindelijk eens in de zon op foto vastleggen!
Het is 11:45 als de Certus 2707 in treinschakeling met de 2731 de sinterdolimiet door Wetteren trekken op hun weg naar Vorst en Saint Ghislain. Vaaarwel!
Wish you wonderful spring time!
This is my last picture for the next 5 weeks.
I will be back mid April.
Please don't give comments meanwhile!
Thank you all!

You’re looking at a 1938 Cadillac 75 2-Door Convertible which just about didn’t make it off the drawing boards, as far as this composite goes. Both, the picture of the large barn-like structure in the background and the picture of this ’38 Caddy were recorded at the Grand Experience classic auto show at the Gilmore Museum in 2014 ……….but at different times, different locations and under slightly different lighting condition. The “time and place” posed no particular problem but the lighting conditions were the challenge which, quite frankly, I believe I have not fully overcome. Shadow, shadow……everywhere a shadow,
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you do the shadow?
I told myself I would never attempt to place a car into a mixed lighting area (part sunlight, part in shadow) but as you see I did and although I attempted using about fifty different mixed shadow effects (as reflected on a portion of the car’s body by the tree on the far right), nothing looked right or believable. At somewhere around fifty, I threw up my hands and said - well, you don’t really want to hear what I said so let’s just say, I was at my wits end. I am sure if one looks at this scene critically, one will spot the inconsistencies, so don’t look at this scene critically. Just squint your eyes and imagine that everything in the picture is hunky-dory.
I believe the following, which was obtained from the conceptcarz web site pertains to ‘this particular car’ but without having the chassis number, I can’t be positive. Here is what conceptcarz/Daniel Vaughn writes I believe about, this car.
Coachwork: Fleetwood
Chassis Num: 3271250
High bid of $65,000 at 2008 RM Sothebys. (did not sell)
For 1938, Cadillac moved the headlamps into the front fenders for the up-market Series 65 and Fleetwood Series 75 models. The bodies became more curvaceous than that of the prior models, particularly from the rear. Optional dual sidemounts covers were hinged to the fenders. Quarter windows were sliding rather than hinged construction. Technical innovations for 1938 included column shift, a transverse muffler just behind the fuel tank, new wheels, a hypoid rear axle, horns hidden behind the grille, and a Synchro-Flex flywheel.
The Series 75 was given an increase in compression which lifted horsepower to 140. * Sporty looking but certainly not a speed demon.
This particular example wears an older restoration and painted in a soft yellow color. There are wide whitewall tires, a tan cloth top and refinished chrome accents. The interior upholstery is dark brown leather, and the dashboard is dark chocolate brown.
In 2008 this 1938 Cadillac Series 75 Convertible Coupe was brought to RM Auctions 'Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook' where it was estimated to sell for $75,000-$100,000. A high bid of $65,000 failed to satisfy the reserve and the car was left unsold.

PS: I know who the current owner is and where he lives but I would rather not say under this format. Actually, it’s immaterial since I know that I don’t! (own it, that is ;)
Hope ya’all enjoy…………………..
Tomorrow my daughter Mara moves to Massachusetts. I will miss not having her close.
I wish I could return to the time when the four of us all lived under the same roof.

The Stellar's Jays here are endlessly great to watch.
They started coming to this table many months ago. They discovered that my Thai Spirit House was supplied daily by me with rice water and fresh flowers for the local gods.
