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.

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.
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.

Recent putting ideas into a sketchbook and rediscovery of them. I feel as if this is about to become something but it is as if there is a word on the tip of my tongue - it won't quite happen.
Pastels.
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.

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
Another image from the GCR Winter Gala Weekend in 2013 that might have more appeal this time around.......
Detail from Ivatt Mogul 46521 - perhaps one for the rivet counters.

The boring, dull, numbing grey of the buffer's mark.

Op het front van motorwagen T33 van de metersporige Härtsfeldbahn is dubbel stoot- en trekwerk aangebracht. Onderaan de kop zien we tussen de slangen van de luchtrem de centrale middenbuffer met trekhaak en oog voor het koppelen van smalspoormaterieel. Hoog op het front zijn spoorbuffers voor normaalspoormaterieel gemonteerd. Op die manier kunnen goederenwagens op rolbokken vervoerd worden zonder tussenplaatsing van een koppelwagen. Als buffers zijn antieke exemplaren met open veerhuis gekozen. Midden op het front zit de trekhaak voor het koppelen van de normaalsporige goederenwagens. Een horizontale handgreep op de buffer en een verticale op de hoek van de kop vergemakkelijken het werk van de rangeerder. Grappig is de ronde elektrische bel die tussen koplamp en luchtslang is aangebracht. Door de hoge plaatsing van de spoorbuffers was men genoodzaakt om de koplampen op een lage positie aan te brengen. Al deze zaken geven de motorwagen een karakteristiek front.
