The pillow boxes were recycled pages from a photography book. Baubcat wanted each of these cameras. Too bad I didn't have any for him. I bet they are still great cameras.
As I had not photographed a train locally for over 2 months, I thought it would be rude not to wait for a few minutes after the test train for 4M34, despite the fact I have photographed the exact working probably hundreds of times at this spot alone! However, yet more changes to the landscape can be seen here, as Dirft is literally creeping over the county border into Warwickshire!!! The mound of earth above the second box is where I think the border lies. This is 4M34 Coatbridge-Crick, and nears it`s final destination behind 66427. 19th December 2014
It's a work in progress... I still need to sew it together, finish the edges, add a lining and maybe handles. It started out as a bag... but HEY... I have never made a box before!
See it finished here.

I learned quickly with Ami that if I cut holes in a cardboard box and then put some of her toys inside it she will play for hours with it! She really wears herself out with it. But at the same time she has so much fun. It's just so funny watching her playing with it.
Small box with a vintage advertisement for Champagne Taittinger from Reims, France. I bought this at a garage sale for 25 cents. At the time I bought this, I had no idea what I was going to do with it, and as always, I found a use for it after I brought it home. This often happens when I buy things at garage sales. I found this picture online when I googled "Champagne Taittinger advertisement", and learned that the woman in the black dress is Grace Kelly, the American actress who became the Princess of Monaco.

When people ask me if I'm Matt, and assume "Unpacking" is some kind of thinly-veiled autobiography, I can prove it's fiction by pointing to the fact that unpacking my boxes is one of the first things I do whenever I move.
Also: I am not nearly as sarcastic.
Swinderby signal-box a listed Midland Railway Type 3b box opened on 6th January 1901, and fitted with a 16 lever frame the same as most boxes on this line. The signal-box looks to be in a much more original condition that Fiskerton an identical box seen in the the previous photo, the windows are in the original style but look to be modern replacements, also you do not see many signal-boxes these days with a veranda complete with handrails.

Swirled Mountain Box (José Meeusen)

I found this old wooden box with metal studs just sitting on the bed. It was square, and it spoke to me of an interesting history and being treasured & loved by its owner
In 1942 the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy modified some of their 50' automobile boxcars to carry wings of B-26 Marauder bombers to an Army Air Corps assembly plant near Omaha. The CB&Q shops built 26" high side extensions and reattached the old roof to the raised sides. The wings were loaded and unloaded through the hinged doors on the 'A' end of the boxcar.
After the war these cars were used for high cube, lightweight loads such as appliances and furniture. The cars fared poorly in their new assignment — those types of loads weren't as robust as airplane wings — with cargo damage often the result of excess sway. Eventually the boxcars were put into general service alongside normal-height 50' cars.
Ted Richardson built this "Bomber Box" from a Sunshine Models resin kit. He also painted, decaled, and weathered the model. Photo by Mark Mathu.

This is a box for a 3-D Dimension Viewer made by View-Master. This is a device for viewing 3-D images on a paper disk. It was originally marketed as a way for viewers to enjoy stereograms of tourist attractions.
“Carry On Collecting” is a project set up by the Museum of Hartlepool to collect objects which represent everyday life in the town and beyond, from the 1950s through to the present day. The collection also attempts to represent the diversity of the people of Hartlepool over the past 60 years
This deserted signal box once controlled traffic at the intersection of the STEFER narrow-gauge line to Grotte Celoni and ATAC urban tramways at Porta Maggiore in Rome - picture taken in 1977
This box was still in use when we lived in Attleborough, including staff coming out to manually close the level crossing gates.
Sometime in the last ten years, the signalling moved to Cambridge and the gates were automated. I am not sure of the plans for the box.

The War of the Roses was largely a 19th century thing, a sentimental look back at a brutal, stupid series of battles in the 15th century, partially obscured by rose-tinted editions of Shakespeare plays. The warring parties used several different emblems. York was really big on boar imagery. But, you know, there was this persistent theme of how Henry VII combined the roses into one, the Tudor rose, which has the red and the white united. Everybody loves a happy ending. "Hey, look over there, you guys -- it's the renaissance!"
This is from two regular pentagons, one going clockwise and the other counterclockwise. The swirl is formed from the pentagle's center.
The substantial Caledonian Railway type N3 signal box at Fouldubs Junction was built in 1908 with a 77 lever frame that was increased to 80 levers in 1951 before being reduced to 40 levers in 1972 after the locking was overhauled. It stands at the junction of the one time Orchardhall branch which wasn't actually a branch but a through line to Falkirk via Bainsford Junction. It was the fact either end belonged to different companies the North British and the Caledonian which got it the designation a branch line. It closed in 1968 as a through route although the eastern end between the British Aluminium Plant at Orchardhall and here at Fouldubs Junction remained operational until 1991. The box is located on the freight only Grangemouth branch and now just controls movements towards Grangemouth Docks and Grangemouth Oil Refinery as well as adjacent freight terminal sidings.
Being a freight line I guess there was plenty of spare time between trains hence the signalman's splendid array of Geraniums in the box windows and the raised bed veg plot at the foot of the box steps.
I really like how these photos look like collector's. They are wearing some of the newest fashion packs. Also, notice Asha/AA doll is there--still hope for her being produced! Maybe we'll get a wave 2?!
