Two thirds of the way through the tunnel is this wooden structure made from old railway sleepers. It was installed in the 1960's as it was perceived that there was a weakness in the tunnel here. This led to the untimely closure of the tunnel. However the structure is free standing and doesn't contact the walls at any point, showing that there has never been any movement of the tunnel walls, which are basically sound throughout.

Cog or Kogge
A cog is a type of ship that first appeared in the 10th century, and was widely used from around the 12th century on. Eventually, around the 14th century, the cog reached its structural limits. This model is a somewhat generic version of this ship. However, some features narrows it down to being from around 1300, +-50 years.
The ship type was a northern European brake from the sleek Viking ship. The need for spacious and relatively inexpensive ships led to the development of this trader workhorse. Fore and stern castles would be added for defense against pirates, or to enable use of these vessels as warships.
It is in minifig-scale or 1:40’ish.
The model will have the dimensions Length: 68 cm, Height: 75 cm (with stand), Width: 19 cm (Beam)
There is approx. 4300 bricks in the model.
The Cog is Starfall Enterprises basic soldier frame. Build from the ground up to support the incorporation A.I. The frame is easy to maintain and versatile. It is able to be equipped with numerous different load outs. Starfall makes quite a hefty sum off of the royalties for these things. Which are deployed through explored space.
Made for Mobile Frame Zero.
5/2024 - My second visit to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway was unfortunately a few days before steam began running for the season. Upon my arrival, the cog diesels were making moves at Marshfield Station.

10/2022 - Manitou Springs, CO
Moving on now, back to the Pike's Peak Cog Railroad, I'm about to board a train for a ride to the top. The station and the trains have been rebuilt/added to. I had hopes of riding one of the new trains, but my time slot was on one of the rebuilt older trains.
I have been thinking about building the Cog train that goes up Mount Washington ever since I saw it climb the peak. This is the first step in developing the design.
You can see a video of it in action on Youtube

One of the many cogs from a watchmakers cast offs. Stacked 50mm macro on 105mm Micro.
Strobist info: SB-28 on 1/64 power fitted with an omnibounce sitting about 2 inches in front of the cog (cog was on the table, camera pointing straight down, flash lying on the table pointing at the cog). Triggered with eBay remote.

My #pcswapas partner, Carla, made this just for me and sent all the way from Austraila. You can check her out on Instagram as @grannymaudsgirl. I am so tickled by all of her generosity and killer sewing/design skills!

Pilatus Bahnen AG: the Pilatus rack railway connects Alpnachstadt (440 meters above sea level) to the summit of Mount Pilatus (2,073 meters above sea level), with a 800 mm gauge single track and a length of 4.8 km. This is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48%, and has some features that make it unique. It uses the Locher rack system with side pinions, since conventional rack-and-pinion systems with vertical pinions did not provide the safety of the gears tracing the rack on the strongest ramps. Due to the use of the Locher rack system, the wheels of the original steam railcars did not have flanges on the wheels at first, although later all the wheels were endowed with external flanges, and not inside flanges as is usual on all railways. Therefore, the switches are also not conventional, and instead of having moving parts, are enormous devices that move laterally, or are turned over.
The line was put into service on June 4, 1889, and electrification at 1550 V DC was put into service on May 15, 1937.
The service is currently provided with twelve railcars. In 1937 SLM and MFO built eight electric passengers railcars (numbers Beh 1/2 21-28). In 1954, SLM built a freight electric railcar (Ohe 1/2 31), although it is normally used as a passenger car after the construction of a body with the number 29 in 1962. In 1968 SLM built the last electric passengers railcar, the number Beh 1/2 30. Finally, in 1981 Stadler built the diesel departmental railcar Xhm 1/2 32.
The railway is operated by means of the "train package" system: two convoys are formed of several railcars that run in driving on sight mode between them. At the intermediate station of Ämsigen cross the ascending and descending convoys.

No. 1, "Peppersass", at the Base Station on August 15, 1970. "Peppersass" is a 0-2-2T steam locomotive it was built by Campbell & Whittier in Roxbury, MA, in 1866. She was wrecked in a run away but her boiler did not explode so they put the pieces back together as a display. Her boiler has a tilting mechanism so it always stayed vertical. "Peppersass" is a type of cookie made with hot sauce.

Here's one from the somewhat recent archives, a shot of the Cog Railway climbing Mt. Washington, with the Lakes of the Clouds hut visible just below the cone of Mt. Monroe on the left side of the image. I took this photo on my descent from the Great Gulf headwall, which is just below the summit of Mt. Washington. This was the morning after I hiked up to the headwall in the middle of the night for some star trails and sunrise photography with Luke Barton in late September.
Some big gears laying on the ground at the Rural Life Museum in Baton Rouge. If you look closely you will see Christmas lights on them.
Could this be part of a big Doodlebug like the one shot by Lawrencium_103?
Two more images from the beautiful ancient cottage north of Benenden. I love the untamed and natural beauty of the garden.

Cog railway from Rheineck to Walzenhausen, part of the Appenzell Railways. The entry into the station from below goes through this 65 m long access tunnel. In Wikipedia the length of the tunnel is specified with 70 m, but then this squared part at the upper end is included with. In the cadastral plans this part belongs to the building.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting a new set of Gears of War customs that I've been working on. I've been a big fan of the games since GOW was first released and still play horde in GOW2 a couple times a week. Of course, Hazel's awesome custom armor and weapons really make it possible to do these sort of builds.
I've been slowly collecting a few of Hazel's GOW pieces for awhile now, so I figured it was time for me to get the paint out and incorporate my own ideas to kind of personalize the look of the items and create some unique characters. I know a lot of others have already done Gears customs over the past couple years - for me, better late than never I guess!
Let me know what you think as the series progresses.
