Well this is all a bit last minute (late like second class post I guess!!) I had a lone idea this week, an american style postbox someone in the village has - when I actually got up close it was a very uninteresting tin box too far into his garden to take a macro of ~ urrh! Nearly gave up but decided to have a play using two letters that came through my 'mailbox' today, put back in for some tie in to the theme! HMM
S-3 class, 261, sits quietly on a peaceful morning in Minneapolis as the Sun begins to rise. In a few hours it'll power the Gourmet Express to Glencoe to the delight of many. The crew has graciously allowed me to climb aboard, into the immaculately kept cab. Note the nice tribute to the late Judy Sandberg, a pivotal figure throughout 261's excursion history. Also note the mini 261 on the control stand.

The ELR's Class 105 DMU waits to leave Ramsbottom with the final full-line southbound service of the ELR's Scenic Railcar Day. 9/11/2019.
I seem to be going through a diesel faze recently, so to complete my set of favourite types the class 37 it had to be and especially in BR Scottish region livery which adds to these locos powerful and gruff appearance in my view.
I've used an idea I saw on YouTube recently for the windscreens as I feel the part looks right though obviously I'm unable to glaze them.

Sized for Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit, a Lego based tabletop tactical game. Based on the Salamis Kai Class from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.
The Salamis Kai is a modified version of the lackluster but dependable Salamis class, and as such is also a frigate sized at 12 studs long. In order to bring the Salamis class into the modern era of frame focused combat, the Kai's forward bow has been modified to fit a hangar bay with a vertical lift elevator and topside launch catapult, necessitating the removal of one of the main guns. In order to increase the weight of the attacks the Kai could throw in medium range anti ship bombardments, the secondary bridges were replaced with duel main gun mounts, effectively increasing the total number of barrels to 9. Between the additional weapons and the widening of the bow for the hangar which also necessitated the removal of the missile pods, the Kai's role in combat is more definitely defined to medium range where it might better support the frames it launches. Finally, boosters were added to the engine to improve its overall speed.
The Kai represents a focused effort to improve the Salamis overall, but doesn't quite replace the original's role in the navy. Instead, the Kai is mostly likely to be seen serving as the lead vessel in a small task force comprised of several additional normal Salamis class ships operating in areas deemed less important or dangerous enough to warrant a true capital ship. Alternatively a ship or two of the Kai class may be attached to an existing task force to supplement the frame squads available for duty.

A featherweight load of 27.5t is no match for a 3,100hp Class 60 (no wonder it was running early!)

Last night was the first time I've made something in pottery class that did not make me think, "Wow. That looks really horrible."
It still has many stages to go through (drying, firing, glazing, firing again), but I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about this one.
Visiting Class 37 No. 37263, on loan from Telford Steam Railway, at Kidderminster station during Severn Valley Railway’s Spring Diesel Festival on 19th May 2024. A total of 309 Class 37 locomotives were built by English Electric between 1960 and 1966.
