A cosy box, Crewe Steel Works still has a good number of working levers, with its crossover and access to and from the Electric Traction Depot.
It's a 1935 built LMS type.
11th November 1620, Provincetown Harbour, near Cape Cod, passengers on board the Mayflower sign "The Compact". The Compact was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony and was written by the male passengers of the voyage, consisting of separatist Puritans, adventurers, and tradesmen.
This build is based on by the painting of the Mayflower Compact by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris.

Too little sunlight and poor processing of jpg.
The theme for today in the Kerrisdale Cameras daily photo challenge is “Compact”. I struggled with this one until I saw one of my daughters CD’s (Compact Disc) sitting on the table reflecting light from a nearby window #kcphotochallenge

These tiny leaves are sort of peculiar. I don't know if the plant is dehydrated or if it's just a part of the physiology of the plant, but the stem of the leaf looks rather flat, doesn't it? Plants are such bizarre creatures in the first place when you compare them to animals.
Almost exclusively do they not rely on other animals for direct nutrition. Almost all of them are rooted in one way or another to a substrate. Their gross anatomy is so unlike ours.
Then again. Earth teems with plants. Maybe we're the odd ones.
This Hubble Space Telescope image of the Hickson Compact Group 31 (HCG 31) of galaxies highlights streams of star-formation as four dwarf galaxies interact. The bright, distorted clump of young blue-white stars (top-right of center) is NGC 1741. Although it appears to be a single galaxy, NGC 1741 is actually a pair of colliding dwarf galaxies. Another dwarf, cigar-shaped galaxy to the pair’s right joins their dance with a thin, blue stream of stars that connects the trio. HGC 31’s fourth member is revealed by a stream of young blue stars that point to the galaxy (bottom-left of center) and indicate its interaction with the other three. The bright object in the center of the image is a star situated between Earth and HCG 31.
Dwarf galaxy encounters are normally seen billions of light-years away, and therefore occurred billions of years ago, but HCG 31 is located some 166 million light-years from Earth, relatively close by cosmic standards. This image emphasizes star-forming regions spurred by the quartet’s gravitational dance. The color blue represents visible blue light and showcases young, hot, blue stars, while the color red represents near-infrared light.

The small size of the Black Hills Central's Baldwin 2-6-6-2 tank locomotives--38 foot wheelbase-- can really be seen from above--in this aerial view, #108 has topped the steep initial climb out of Hill City and is now winding between the hills on a light downgrade before the drop into Keystone.
To those collecting Fashion Royalty from the beginning....can anyone tell me the story of this compact?
Convention Gift?
W Club Luncheon?
Edition Size?
Thank you in advance!

When I featured the Fujica Compact this time, I also introduced the Compact S and Compact D. I mentioned that since both the S and D I own are in perfect working condition, I wouldn’t be modifying them. However, to my (perhaps happy?) surprise, the D turned out to have a faulty shutter. So, I immediately took out the lens. Since it’s equipped with a large-aperture Fujinon 45mm f/1.8, I just couldn’t resist getting my hands on it.
Fujica’s rangefinder/leafshutter cameras with large-aperture lenses include the following:
Fujica 35 SE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 EE ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.9
Fujica 35 VⅡ ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
And now, this one:
Fujica Compact D ... Fujinon 45mm f/1.8
All of these lenses are truly outstanding performers — that’s Fujinon for you!!!

My daughter and I ordered two sets of these Sailor Moon gashapon compacts back in October and they arrived yesterday! We love them!
It started with the LC-A, that I got in a 2nd hand shop in Budapest 2 years ago, I took it to test it the next days on my way by train across Bulgaria/Romania to Istambul, and I finally figured out that P&S were the way to travel without worries. always ready, and in a simple pocket. SET
Eventually the lc-a fell and so I could try to fix the frame counter it had to get a new dress.
Also, missing some shots because of the zone focus it was not ideal, so I started looking for some cheep AF ones, and they had to be as pocketable as the lc-a, on that area the mju II is the winner.
I don't think this collection will grow much more, unless I stumble upon some expensive models or so, for very cheap (ricohs gr, minolta TC-1 etc...) I'm happy with these ones for now, let's see what comes next.
(1 week after)
I just came back from the fleamarket with some more P&S cameras, Mju I (another),
Ricoh FF70(it's a DOA after all), Fuji HD-M, Konica EU-min and a Porst 135AE
#2 UPDATE
additions : Olympus XA2, Ricoh FF-1, Leica C2-zoom, Nikon AF600, Rollei 35B
An early stalwart of the Great Central Railway was Norwegian 2-6-0 377 King Haakon VII and it is seen here at Loughborough Central sometime in 1974.
Locomotive History
377 was built by Nydqvist and Holm AB, Trollhattan, Sweden in 1919 and arrived in the UK at Quainton in May 1971 This was followed by a spell at the Ashford Steam Centre from January 1972 before moving to the Great Central Railway, Loughborough, in March 1973, where it operated for a number of years before being withdrawn from traffic for boiler repairs. It was purchased by the Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk leaving the Great Central Railway on the 21st April 1981and had an extensive overhaul prior to returning to operation in 2006.

The news of the passing of the Dutch engineer who invented the audio Compact Cassette, Lou Ottens, got me to thinking how useful and handy these were back in the day and efficient - even a provision to prevent accidental ereasure. The quality of the audio wasn't up there with reel-to-reel, but they paved they way for portable music. Even after portable compact disc (which Mr. Ottens was involved in the development of) players came out, portable cassette players were the best way to go - easier to fit into a pocket and slower battery drain - though it took many years to get the player down to the size of the cassette itself. Until at least MP3 players came out, which like everything else digital revolutionized everything.
RD18468. The Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn is a standard gauge rack railway that runs up the 5897ft / 1798m high Rigi, a popular mountain in Central Switzerland near Luzern. As it approaches the summit, it meets another standard gauge rack railway, the Arth-Rigi-Bahn, that comes up from Arth-Goldau on the other side of the mountain.
This is a shot from a train on the Vitznau-Rigi-Bahn as it approaches Vitznau on the way down from the summit station.
Vitznau is situated on the shores of the Vierwaldstättersee (Lake Lucerne) which can be seen in the distance. From Vitznau, there are boat connections on the lake to Luzern, and some of these are paddle steamers.
