Today’s sewing class was meh mostly cuz the heater was broken and I was too cold to work on many intricate things with numb fingers lol.
Noseless Francie got a dress based on Fresh as a Daisy but based on my own pattern instead of a bodice with darts since I like the shape of my pattern more lol.
Ken got a new shirt, pants and a cardigan made from a sock, while I tried making a houndstooth cat for my vintage sized dolls…
Yes I know, it's another AI photo. But Bob www.flickr.com/photos/bobslivemodels/ did something for me.

A little fantasy per se.
Back in the day I flew a lot, especially on Delta. So, over time, flying one end of the country to the other, I became a 2 Million Miler with them and a majority of the time got bumped up to first class.
One look at this photo and I wanted to be her. I love the satin dress, the shiny black nylons and black high heeled CFM stilettos.
It would be one hell of a fantasy to be in first class like this. Every man on the flight would be fantasizing about me and how it would be with me.
By the way, please pay no attention to my right hand. It's cramped up from letting the pilot experience my fellatrix skills before takeoff.
I wonder where the fight attendant is? I need a stiff drink! No pun intended... well maybe... yes, definitely!
Brand newish British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755328 working the 2W20 15:20 (15:34 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Ipswich- Cambridge service train at Stowmarket Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Suffolk (UK).
Note the 25kV pick up pantograph is down and the train is running under diesel power despite running from Ipswich under OHLE. The train will head off the electrified Great Eastern Main Line just north of Stowmarket were the line to Cambridge is unelectrified.
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
755403 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.

An unidentified BR (Derby) Class 127 4-car suburban dmu consisting of Class 127 & 186 in Rail Blue with all-yellow front ends leaving St Pancras on a Bedford service on a very wet day in August, 1982. These dmu's should have been replaced by then new Class 316 emu's by that time but an industrial dispute over 1-man operation delayed their introduction.

Will take better photos later to add to groups but here’s the finished product for you guys. Might go back and change some small details later because that’s what usually ends up happening; I’m happy with how it is now though. I’d say it’s my best mech so far.
Avanti West Coast 390 020 at Blackpool North Station. A few minutes before starting the 9.47 a.m. service to London Euston Station, with me on board.
The Class 390 high speed tilting trains were built between 2001 and 2004, coming in to service during 2002. Fifty-seven units were originally made,mostly in the UK but the later ones were manufactured in Italy where the technology for the design came from. A few have already been scrapped.
Avanti West Coast is jointly owned by First Group and Trenitalia.

The Taigei class submarines are the newest class of conventionally powered Attack submarines of the JMSDF (Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force). With a planned number of 7 (with 4 already in operation), they are the quite possibly the most advanced convenional submarines in the world.
With a crew of 70, a length of 84meters (275ft) and a displacement on the surface of 3000 tons, these subs are equipped with an advanced Air-independent propulsion system (AIP) which gives them considerable range efficiency and noise reduction underwater compared to older submarines.

Class 1144 locomotive No. 1144 232 with a CityShuttle train at Innsbruck Railway Station in Austria.
Opera Class sailing boat during a race off Hoylake.
Opera Class History.
It was in 1899 that the decision was first made to adopt a new class of boat for Hoylake Sailing Club.
The gaff rigged, 16 foot clinker boats were developed from a design by Captain Winchester, a club member, and built by Alex Latta, also a club member and owner of a busy boat building yard. ‘Opera’ class racing commenced at Hoylake in June 1902.
The fleet grew quickly to 17 and has raced regularly since then. In 1909 ‘Orchid’ sailed from Hoylake to Ardrossan and on to Ballycastle in Northern Ireland. 14 boats of the ‘Opera’ class remain today in Hoylake with another ‘La Poupee’ on display in the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
The class has therefore stood the test of time although some boats have been inevitably been lost over intervening years. John Hale, Owner of ‘Country Girl’ comments “They need a great deal of care and attention but thanks to enthusiastic owners, remain in good condition.”

BREL (York) Class 508/2 (refurbished from Merseyrail 508/1) Standard Mk.II 750v dc 3rd rail 3-car emu No.508 203 (ex-508 106) freshly painted in South Eastern livery (which had actually been the new Connex South Eastern livery shortly before Connex lost their franchise) at London Bridge 11/08 on a Redhill and Tonbridge service, in the last days before this service was transferred from SE to Southern, so the newly painted livery became inappropriate for this unit almost immediately! The unit was then transferred to Merseyrail.
Class 47 47403 is pictured at Newcastle Central on December 22nd 1977. Originally D1502, it has survived into preservation.
Another local High School Building that is no longer with us... I try to document buildings and other artifacts while they are still here... before they disappear forever.

40 year old British Rail Class 315 4 car 25kV EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) 315837 leads the 8 car 2W90 10:42 (10:49 RT) TfL Rail London Liverpool Street- Shenfield service train northbound at Stratford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in East London (UK).
Class 315 EMU's were built by BREL (British Rail Engineering Ltd) in 1980/1 and were based on the then new 1972 British Rail 'standard' EMU design.
315837 is one of the last 315 units still in service as most have been withdrawn/scrapped and replaced by the Class 345 Aventra Elizabeth 'Crossrail' Line EMU's which of course the TfL Rail London- Shenfield Metro GEML will form a part of.
