with 6 buffer cars in tow, FXE's TMXTEQ is headed for the Bojay yard to pick up a loaded chemical train bound for Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz.
A zebra ACe and 2 regular ES44's are the power.

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.
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.
Identifiable by its missing number above the front buffer on the front end Colas Rail Class 70802 approaches Hagg Hill, Tupton working 6E29 Longport Colas to Dewsbury Colas.
Had a nice walk around Holme Pierrepont Country Park here in Nottingham. Not much activity this time of the year and parts of it was flooded due to recent high rainfall. Aside from that, there are plenty of photographic opportunities.
Holme Pierrepont Country Park. Home of The National Water Sports Centre.
Nestled amongst 270 acres of the beautiful Holme Pierrepont Country Park, we welcome athletes of all levels and abilities from all over the world. It offers water and land based activities. The centre is made up of three pieces of water.
The centre was constructed during 1970 and 1971 on a former gravel works and required the excavation of one and a half million cubic yards of material. The centre opened in 1971. Until 2009 the centre was operated on behalf of Sport England however control was returned to Nottinghamshire County Council due to priority changes around the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Holme Pierrepont Whitewater Course is located between the weir on the canalised River Trent and the regatta lake.

The SV Local needed a buffer car to take empty propane tanks to the NS interchange at Pleasant Valley. Their C&O painted extended vision caboose got elected for the task. On the way up it was next to the power. But on the return trip it was in the proper position at the rear of the train.

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.

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.

90002 Wolf of Badenoch crawls past the gallery at Chelmscote, working 1Z86 09.50 Liverpool Lime Street - Wembley Central. This was a football special for the Carabao (League) Cup Final between Liverpool and Chelsea, which Liverpool won after a penalty shoot-out.
47810 is on the rear, having worked the empty stock from Crewe to Liverpool. It then hauled the return working (with 90002 dead on rear). The train had apparently originally been booked to be worked by 47501 and 47810, but it was reported that 47501 had failed and had to be replaced, resulting in the empty stock arriving half an hour late at Lime Street - with the train to London setting off twenty minutes late. However, this was all made up by the time the train was speeding south from Crewe, and it was nearly quarter of an hour early as it passed Nuneaton.
1Z86 was booked to cross over to the Up Slow at Hanslope Jn., but remained on the Up Fast and ended up very close behind two Avanti West Coast "Pendolinos" which had caught up a London Northwestern service which was eight minutes late and called at Leighton Buzzard... So 90002 came round the corner very slowly, allowing a long burst of shots to be taken.
Of the best frames, none were perfect in terms of the relative positions of the locos, the OHL stanchions and the shadows of the OHL gantries! In this frame, the shadow is between the first two coaches, but the rear loco is partly obscured by an OHL stanchion. In an earlier frame, before 90002 gets to the OHL stanchion on the far side (and with the green 47 completely visible), the shadow is quite noticeable on the front coach; in the frame with the shadow between the loco and first coach, there's a relay cabinet growing out of the far buffer of the 90!
This was the first time I'd seen either of the Locomotive Services class 90s since their transfer from Greater Anglia (and, indeed, the first time I'd seen any of the LSL electric fleet).

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
