There was a "dead calm" in the early morning at Merritt Island National Wildlife Reserve. A slight mist was burning off, and the air was still. I learned that these conditions are perfect for no-see-ums and other nasty biting insects to rise up and feed voraciously (on me) ; -))
The mangroves were mini-islands in this picture, and a large mixed flock of birds were in distance.
Merritt Island NWR and Canaveral National Seashore are a vast natural area (over 140,000 acres) that serve as a "buffer zone" for the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island. Much of the NWR and seashore are closed during rocket launches. This NWR provides an important sanctuary for migrating birds, and for several endangered plants and animals.

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

Fence Friday
This not only keeps the animals off the road, but it also buffers the sound of the traffic.
Tsuboniwa (坪庭 mini garden) is a Japanese architectural gimmick to get light, ventilation, and some nature into a merchant house in town as it tends to be built with few buffer space between the neighbours.
The planted tree is Shakunage (石楠花 Rhododendron japonoheptamerum). It is often chosen for Tsuboniwa as it prefers shady area. It blooms in spring.

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.
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.

4 hoppers are acting as buffer cars, including a MoPac Screaming Eagle logo and a former Chicago & Eastern Illinois in the 3rd and 4th spot.
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.
