YJ04 LYK was one of 4 vehicles taken out of the Yorkshire Coastliner fleet after the conclusion of the summer 2010 timetable, in order to go to Harrogate.
The move was necessary on order for Harrogate to send off 2 of it's own 2003 reg Wright Eclipse Gemini's to Blackburn for a complete overhaul of the engine, drivetrain, and other components - new seats and exterior panels have been installed to the H&D buses to make them look like Gemini 2's whilst also delivering similar emissions.
Meanwhile, the four former Yorkshire Coastliner Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 1's would help to operate route 36 between Ripon, Harrogate, and Leeds and deliver a slight improvement in service frequency. Because putting them into a new livery would have taken time and money, new vinyls were applied instead explaining why these buses wee being used - and they got the local nickname of the "red cog buses" for obvious reasons. The front of the bus was given the tag "Yes! it is a 36" as people would not be familiar with the livery.
As Yorkshire Coastliner got four new Gemini 2's in April 2011, these Gemini 1's were supposed to go across to Lancashire to boost services over there. However, instead 403 has come back across for Coastliner services, and would seem to be based at the York depot for the time being. Still in the 'cross dress' bit-of-both livery, YJ04LYK is seen leaving York station on a service 844 to Leeds... despite the front saying "yes! it is a 36"!

5/2024 - Peppersass was on display on a trailer at the entrance to the parking area. This ancient engine was built in 1866 by Campbell, Whittier and Company. World's first cog locomotive, originally named Hero. Retired in 1878. Reconditioned in 1929 and wrecked 20 July 1929. Reassembled after the wreck and placed on display at Marshfield Station.
Assignment 2. Industry. Cybergabi had this wonderful idea. I leave it to you how you want to show us industry, I'm hoping for the comically creative to the sublime. Tag with cwd312.
en días impares es siempre más complicado.

“Stern accuracy in inquiring, bold imagination in describing, these are the cogs on which history soars or flutters and wobbles.”

This is an old picture from some years back taken with my point & Shoot Camera. We were not expecting snow in September, but was amazing... I wish I had my D7000 back then :)
Cogs of industry.
In the early 1870's The Inveresk Railway Workshops, Launceston began work servicing steam locomotives and rolling stock.
At that point in time a railway line was in operation from Launceston to Deloraine.
The workshops were involved of every aspect associated with the maintenance and building of carriages and wagons.
The workshops remained in full operation until 1994 when the decision was made to close the facility in favour of a new facility at Newstead.
As you step inside the now defunct workshops you immediately get the overwhelming sense that all the workers have downed tools and have taken a much deserved break.
That impression is in fact the situation as the workers did lay down their tools and walked out of the workshops on its final day of operation.
Fortunately it has never been gutted or has any material been removed, it remains locked in time on that day in 1994 when the last shift whistle sounded.
The workshops now house the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, the University of Tasmania School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Royal Launceston Show Society.

The original Cog was part of the 1987 Fortress Maximus set and this 2018 update, a fine figure on its own, has been described as DLC for the recent Generations Fortress Maximus. To lend credence to that, the new Cog's guns bear a strong resemblance to the original Cerebros gun and were probably meant for Generations Cerebros.
Given the plethora of pegs and ports on Siege Cog and the way it can be dismembered, however, it's plain the figure was designed primarily as an accessory set for other figures. Once disassembled, Cog's parts do indeed function as stylish accoutrements for the discerning Autobot warrior. While platform shoes might seem a questionable fashion choice for the battlefield, this type of fighting footwear was once in vogue in Japan. (See God Ginrai, Victory Saber, Super Fire Convoy, etc.)
The Cybertronian Omnifunctional Modular Battlefield Assault Tech System is clearly Hasbro's studious attempt to avoid saying "Takara's 5mm joint system" but marketing dissembling aside, this makes Siege figures compatible with 5mm parts going back four decades. This includes non-Transformers Takara SF Land classics like Henshin Cyborg, Microman, Diaclone and Blockman so you could grab some wings from a three-decade-old Blockman set, attach the 5mm pegs on the parts to the 5mm ports on Sideswipe to turn him into a flying car. "How droll," you say? Well, the sky's the limit when it comes to 5mm connectivity.
There are, as always, minor quibbles. The pegs on the Cerebros guns are a tad small for Cog's fists, moving the figure's slightly-loose legs at the too-tight hips might end up dislodging the legs and the "battle damage" is less suggestive of a mortal struggle with a Decepticon than an unfortunate encounter with a soused artist going Jackson Pollock with silver paint.
Siege as a whole, however, is shaping up to be a sensational line by Hasbro and Takara Tomy. Who could have foreseen the designers would be attempting a tetrajet Seeker 35 years later? Who would have guessed the Soundwave figure would include an easter egg based on a feature with only a few seconds of screen time?
It only goes to show you don't always have to discard old ideas; you just need to understand why they worked then, update them to meet raised expectations and restate the case for them today.

I am surprised that Eddie the slug has any arms left after the twisting to get him down to the Colorado RailRoad Museum in Golden, Colorado. I figured we could hit the Christmas steam up over at the Colorado Rail Road Museum in Golden, As it worked, the staff said Sunday would be more sane, barely any more. Everyone at the place got three loops. Only those with sharp elbows got the rides in the cupola in the caboose or the cab. They also do railroad modeling over here but they prefer modeling at a 12 inches to the foot scale. Area and other fans ought to make the trek; take your camera, empty and ready to go! I had to call out all the turns on I-25 and I-70 to get to the place. He started to believe we might be on the right route when he spotted the first CRRM highway signs. He assumed we were there when I pointed out Coors but I suggested Coors was at least 5 miles long. You'd have thought I would not have to call out the route home but I did. I think I could call Eddie "Old Cog Bottom."
As fate would have it Eddie held off until the annual Christmas steam up but I afforded him some extra time on the drive down and we arrived before the Museum opened. Fortunately, we spotted #346 steaming up at the new engine house and snuck in like we was impotant folk. I had to work hard to get Eddie in cheap even he tried not too. The guest book is a log of all nations in the world. Some arrive with pencils, sketchbooks and tape measures.
After ogling #346 at the engine house turntable, Eddie and I made our way to the Richardson station to actually pay to get in even though we already were. I passed the old Manitou & Pikes Peak cog road steam engine.and decided to take a snap; I never fully loaded the card with shots anyway. The old engine has had home at the CRRM for a long time, perhaps it looks like it. The builder's plate relates it's a Baldwin saddle tanker built apparently in 1883 and is 700 days newer then #346. It is at least a curious critter. Note the high and low pressure tandem cylinders and action reversing lever that operate the drivers. It must have looked funny trying to ascent the cog rail. It's squat appearance is due to the water tank that saddles the boiler and has a come-along coal bin instead of tender. It's a wonder it carried enough to ascent Pikes Peak.

Moving on now, back to the Pike's Peak Cog Railroad, I'm about to board a train for a ride to the top.
