Locomotive 943 was built by the Mitsubishi Company of Japan in 1950 and was installed at the park after retirement in 1987 to signifify the friendly relations between Thailand and Japan. It also reminds visitors that the park was once an active railway yard.
Remnants left behind from winter storms several days prior melts back into the earth as a Sunday extra Silvis to Bureau Junction turn scoots by at 40 per past the bins at Mineral over ex-Route Rock rails, heading back west toward home underneath the bluest of February skies. Recently plucked from their spot out of the railroad's line of lifeless storage equipment, half of Iowa Interstate's rostered, six-axle SD38-2s begin to get their wheels back under them again, tag teaming this short, nine-car train consisting of a singular buffer and eight loaded potash hoppers for Geneseo's River Valley Co-Op facilty. The eastbound leg of their trip was a tad more beefy for these two with the addition of a couple DIT Geeps and a healthy block of chemical traffic for the plants Henry, set-out out there at Bureau for the week's BUSW to handle. Since the addition of three, new General Electric ES44ACs to the property back in early 2020, these aging EMDs have been cycled in and out of storage ever since, only coming out to play to help combat seasonal rushes in traffic.

After a favourable result to numerous tests, VIA Rail stainless steel consists no longer require a buffer car at each end, as had been the case since the end of last year. Here VIA 69 has five of these cars, all carrying passengers.

Some 20 years ago I bought a cheap (£20 GBP / 32 USD) OO gauge 'Peak' Class 45 diesel made by Mainline
D49 was named 'The Manchester Regiment' and featured an old Ringfield motor based on Analogue 12v power
As I'm gradually migrating to Digital Control I decided to do a trial conversion by adding a DCC Encoder
Not as easy as it sounds as with this old Loco there is no way of just plugging in the new 'chip' as not being 'DCC ready' you have to do some alterations to the original wiring along with some soldering
Studying various Youtube tutorials I took the plunge and I'm happy to say having wired in an 8 pin decoder, it worked first time
However, the loco itself is very basic so I've replaced the buffer beams with plasticard and 3D printed buffers, 3D printed hook and chain link dummy couplings then added various home-made hoses using wire and paper clips
Following these basic upgrades I replaced the various windows with 'Flush Glaze' ones cut to size and glued in using 'Glue n Glaze' liquid and then added scratch-built wind-screen wipers
Finally the 'Yellow ends' and Buffer Beams were repainted plus a good overall 'weathering' was done using brush and cotton bud applications of acrylic and enamel washes
These locos have 8 wheeled bogies so a quick tweak of the wheel 'back to backs' to correct the gauge makes it now a reasonable runner at number 16 in my growing digital fleet

Fence Friday
This not only keeps the animals off the road, but it also buffers the sound of the traffic.

The Sheringham end of the North Norfolk Railway, a privately operated heritage line which operates both steam and diesel-hauled services. It is one of the longest established heritage lines, having been founded in 1965 about a year after the line was closed by British Railways. It once formed part of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway and runs 5 miles to Holt.
Behind me, rails continue through a level crossing to the modern Sheringham station a short distance away, from which trains can be caught to Norwich on the national rail network. The buffer can be removed to allow occasional through trains, e.g. special steam services from Norwich.

Class 318 electric multiple unit No. 318270 has recently arrived at Glasgow Central station with 2I35, the 13:15 Glasgow Central to Glasgow Central service via the Cathcart Circle on Wednesday 24th September 2025.
This started out as a low angle shot of openings in a closet door vent. I experimented with color and texture and ended up with this abstract.

The 12.39 Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen service (1A63) passes through Arbroath with 43143 up front (43139 on the rear). A difficult shot through the pallisade fencing! Wednesday, 5.6.19.
What looks to be buffer fitted 43013 is seen heading a Virgin Cross Country service past Newport ADJ Yard as the evening shadows lengthen. Yard shunters 09203 and 09105 can just be seen taking a break from their duties. The yard looked full on this day, taken circa 1998.

"deg yew kno howda get pee stains outta suede?" Santa slurrs, badly to anyone nearby who will listen. He goes on for another half hour straight chattering away to the bottom of his scotch glass.
Flit sits at the end of the diner near the thermal heaters watching the barkeep pour him one more for the road; they talk like old friends, she overhears that he always stops in a few days before the big event to relieve a little stress.
He's a lot buffer than she imagined, in fact they always portray him as being overweight...
looks like Cookies and 'Milk does a body good'.

Heyo, back from the Smokies, still alive, not a block of ice or eaten by a bear, all's well~
This is from one of the two times I turned my phone on last week at the top of one of the mts, I think like the second highest peak on the east side of the Mississippi or something. It was a pretty damn hard climb is all I know. I mean totally worth it though obviously.
I'm so sorry I've still been a little awol and haven't gotten around to answering emails and messages and things, I don't know what's up with me. It's just really hard to feel like social networking again if that makes sense, after not thinking about it for a while.
I don't know, there was one night after our group separated and three of us had to wade through streams all day and almost froze to death and ever since then posting things online's not been such a priority. It just sort of feels like such a shallow form of communication. Not that I'm trying to be patronizing or put the internet down, like, I love it and need it if I want to stay in touch with friends, but at the same time I wish I could just sit and actually look and talk to the people I love in person. Like what you post online isn't even a fraction of the whole story, you know. I want to know how everyone actually is but then it's not like any of us have the time to call or visit each other anymore. So much frustration aaaa
But anyway I was trying to watch a video on YouTube after I got home and it kept buffering and I found myself getting really frustrated and then I felt dumb because it seriously wasn't important. Our society is so obsessed with instant satisfaction which is funny since the things we make are the things that do all the buffering.
Just missn the natural world is all. So grateful to have walls and a pillow and a shower and all my limbs but definitely missn the simplicity.
Love yall, happy Sunday! Hope you guys have a wonderful week <3
