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.

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

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

For the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle and alternative railway photography, follow the link:
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.
Si l'on regarde l'offre actuelle des différents constructeurs en matière de boîtiers photo, tous les modèles affichent une fiche technique particulièrement fournie. Dès lors, une question récurrente se pose : est-il possible de tomber sur un "mauvais" boîtier ?
En fait, tout dépend de ce dont on parle. En termes de qualité d'image, tous les boîtiers, même en entrée de gamme, sont capables de livrer des clichés très qualitatifs, avec un bon niveau de détails et une excellente restitution des couleurs. De même, tous les boîtiers vendus aujourd'hui dépassent (et de très loin) les performances de leurs aînés sur les photos en basse lumière. Il y a quelques années, capturer des clichés à 6400 ISO était presque impensable ; aujourd'hui, c'est devenu quelque chose de "presque" banal.
En fait, la différence entre deux boîtiers va se jouer sur d'autres critères. Je pense notamment à l'autofocus : non seulement en termes de vitesse d'accroche du sujet, mais aussi d'efficacité de la détection et du suivi du sujet et de son œil (humain, animaux, véhicules, etc).
De même, la vitesse en rafale – mais aussi la capacité de la mémoire tampon (buffer) – sont deux aspects importants.
Enfin, l'ergonomie va être un point assez intéressant à étudier : même au sein d'une même marque, certains appareils s'avèrent plus agréables à prendre en main et à utiliser que d'autres.
En définitive et dans mon cas de figure, j’ai décidé de ne plus faire l’acquisition de nouveaux boîtiers même, si je dois vous l’avouer avoir été très intéressé par le nouveau Nikon Z9 après l’avoir eu en mains pendant quelques temps et prêté gratuitement par l’importateur de l’enseigne en Belgique !
Ma conclusion est qu’avec ma collection relativement importante de boîtiers et d’objectifs Nikon, j’ai décidé de continuer de shooter avec mes deux boîtiers phares à savoir le D500 et le D4s et d’utilisés les autres qu’occasionnellement !
Pour les objectifs le problème est évidemment différent puisqu’ils resteront toujours fonctionnels avec n’importe quel boîtier choisi !
Bonne journée et à bientôt les artistes :D

If we look at the current offer of the various manufacturers in terms of photo cameras, all the models display a particularly extensive technical sheet. Therefore, a recurring question arises: is it possible to come across a "bad" box?
In fact, it all depends on what we are talking about. In terms of image quality, all cameras, even entry-level, are capable of delivering high-quality shots, with a good level of detail and excellent color reproduction. Similarly, all cameras sold today exceed (by far) the performance of their elders in low-light photos. A few years ago, capturing shots at ISO 6400 was almost unthinkable; today, it has become something "almost" commonplace.
In fact, the difference between two boxes will be played on other criteria. I'm thinking in particular of the autofocus: not only in terms of the speed of capturing the subject, but also of the effectiveness of the detection and tracking of the subject and its eye (human, animals, vehicles, etc.).
Likewise, burst speed – but also buffer capacity – are two important aspects.
Finally, ergonomics will be a rather interesting point to study: even within the same brand, some devices are more pleasant to handle and use than others.
In the end and in my case, I decided not to acquire new cameras even, if I must admit to you that I was very interested in the new Nikon Z9 after having had it in my hands for a few time and loaned free of charge by the importer of the sign in Belgium!
My conclusion is that with my relatively large collection of Nikon cameras and lenses, I decided to continue shooting with my two flagship cameras, the D500 and the D4s and only used the others occasionally!
For the lenses the problem is obviously different since they will always remain functional with any chosen case!
Have a nice day and see you soon artists :D

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.

BR AM4 'Western Lines' A/C units at Crewe, in 1964. Unit 008 on the right, at Platform 4A, and the unit on the left seems to have had some repairs to its cable connector..
Some of these units were temporarily redeployed to the GE Suburban lines in the early-1960s, due to reliability issues with the local AM5s, and were easily recognisable with their wide yellow lining along each side..
The last unit was withdrawn from service in 1996, and one car was purchased for preservation in 1998, but was stored in the open, and vandalised, and later scrapped.
Today (2018) these platforms are 9 (on the right) and 10, and the hydraulic buffers have been refurbished, and are resplendent in bright red and blue, with yellow handrails..
Restored from a grainy fungus-marked original..
