5407 approaches the road crossing at Weston Rhyn with a Crewe Chester Circular, not sure, but the chap looking out of the support coach wearing a cap could well be Paddy Smith, the then owner of the engine.
Although the signalman turned a blind eye to the large gallery for this, you would never get away with it now.
Yet another location consigned to the history books.

"Le Gué" avait changé d'aspect ce samedi : fini la quasi invisibilité voulue par l'artiste Amman, mais sécurité avant tout.
Irrespect des consignes ou simple inattention (comme pour cette jeune femme), le risque de chute était trop grand, notamment pour les enfants, avec les seules balises à ras de l'eau pour matérialiser les bords du passage. Les maitres-nageurs qui assurent la surveillance ont exigé les cordes qui ont été installées pour ce week-end. Et j'ai pu constater tout le temps que j'étais présente combien il était difficile de faire respecter les consignes par les enfants mais aussi par des parents : tenir les jeunes enfants par la main, ne pas courir, se baigner, s'approcher des bords, s'appuyer après ou tenir les cordes... Un papa a même voulu assoir ses deux jeunes enfants sur la corde pour les prendre en photo !
La sauveteuse qui assurait l'accueil-surveillance l'après-midi devait être épuisée le soir : elle n'a cessé de siffler ou crier pour faire des rappels à l'ordre aux contrevenants. Certes, on ne chuterait pas directement dans les 1,50 cm de d'eau du canal mais les 80 cm de chaque côté de la passerelle immergée sont néanmoins dangereux pour des enfants.

Another spot consigned to history, this British Airways 744 taxies out to Runway 27R at London's Heathrow Airport, five years ago today.
– Bonjour. Pourquoi viens-tu d’éteindre ton réverbère ?
– C’est la consigne, répondit l’allumeur. Bonjour.
– Qu’est-ce que la consigne ?
– C’est d’éteindre mon réverbère. Bonsoir. Et il le ralluma.
– Mais pourquoi viens-tu de le rallumer ?
– C’est la consigne, répondit l’allumeur.

Sunrise pushes the night away and spreads light on the new day. It's one of the few certainties in life. The birds serenade as dawn consigns the night into the memories of yesterdays. Another night gone and another day born. Our beauiful world, pass it on.
This shot should have been consigned to the bin but thanks to Sliders Sunday it's been saved; Hurrah!
Hand-held & shutter inadvertently triggered as the camera was swung up for stowage preparation. HSS!

Wasnt happy with the previous version of this so have consigned it to history, I usually just process in lightroom, but a barn in the distance was too much of a distraction so have given it the heave ho in photoshop. This is different composition with the scarecrow on the left which works better too I think.
23.11.15 - 646 is pictured here at the Greendykes terminus of service 14. This terminus will soon be consigned to the history books once the housing developers release the new road slightly further up Greendykes Road to the council.
At first glance this picture was nearly consigned to the archives but after some processing it is fast becoming one of my favourites of the year.
I don't know what Flickr does to pictures once uploaded but there is a real softness and quality to the light when viewed in Lightroom which is lost on Flickr. Don't know if it's jpeg resizing or Flickr auto sharpening but it looses some of it's impact on here.

A glorious spring morning in the Dales finds a class 40 rolling down the grade from Ais Gill Summit to Appleby with a train comprised almost entirely of coal in 16 tonners in a scene that will become consigned to history by the following year.

The Hangar 11 Collections Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX,PT879,'The Russian Spitfire' prepares to depart Turweston after a short visit with Peter Teichman at the controls.
This is the very first Spitfire to return from Russia, having been consigned as part of the wartime ‘Lend Lease‘ process to the Russian Airforce.
She left the Vickers Armstrongs factory at Castle Bromwich on 4th August 1944 and was shipped via Murmansk to the 2nd squadron, 767th Regiment, 122nd Division of the Russian Airforce, a Spitfire Squadron. She crashed during a dogfight in Spring 1945 with just 29 hours on the airframe and was recovered off the Tundra as a complete aircraft by a capitalist -socialist farmer who must have realised that she would perhaps have value in time.
The Mechanical Signalboxes down here will soon be consigned to History. A class 153 single car unit pauses on a service from Norwich to Lowestorft
Long before it became a celebrity repaint in its original BR blue colours the Romanian Grid is still spotless in original paint as it carries out the duties it was built for - colliery to power station coal traffic - now all but consigned to history. No one could have predicted the end of king coal 40 years later for power generation in the UK.

This is really good WabiSabi! I LOVE these old New Balance shoes but they are finally starting to break down. They are now consigned to the back door for gardening! Still darned comfortable though! HMM
The images that never was, a heavily cropped image from a a throw-a-way shot that was consigned to the photographers bin.
Several weeks if not months later and a fresh approach to processing, finally delivered an image that i'm more than pleased with considering the start point.
All the details of this grand adventure in London and the other fantastic photographers I met, can be read on my Landscape Photography Adventure blog. > Please share on Twitter/Facebook etc.
Only five to six on an early November evening and it feels like the middle of night. Time for some 'steady hand' photography using headlights and street lighting to their best effect.
With the 29 storey Meridian Tower looking on, First Cymru Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC 67092 is captured using the West Way bus stops, adjacent to Swansea City Bus Station, picking up a load of students heading for the University Campus and Hendrefoilan Student Village.
"Metro" Service 4 moved from West Way into the Bus Station from 1st November, and the remaining services (8, 501 and 503) are due to follow suit in the New Year, meaning that this will be another scenic location that will soon be consigned to history.
8135 and 48201 lead 8835, a Pacific National empty Manildra to Parkes grain train.
While Pacific National grain trains have been a common scene in Central West NSW, upcoming changes to the Manildra Group rail contract may consign this scene to history. From 1 November 2024, Southern Shorthaul Railroad will take over the operation of Manildra Group grain services from Pacific National. The new operating model will utilise locomotives and rollingstock owned by Manildra Group. Pacific National will continue to operate Graincorp trains in NSW and Victoria.

Sorry for another Black Tern but it seems a shame to consign these to the file of obscurity by not uploading. This one shows the diagnostic shoulder patch which separates it from all other juvenile or non-breeding plumaged terns apart from the recently split American Black Tern (which has smoky flanks, unlike the clean white flanks on this bird). It has doing so many twists and turns that most of my photos show its tail spread wide, but they closed tail shows the "chip fork" shape. This young bird spent a few days at Pugney's Country Park near Wakefield in West Yorkshire recently.
Backlit and dark, but now consigned to history, another branchline that’s just a memory. The Picola Branch was made famous by author Patsy Adam Smith who grew up in Waaia, one of the stations along the line.
It’s not up to my usual photographic standards for this site, and took a lot of restoration to get it this far, but it has significance in my railway “experience”.

St. Anne's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Vilnius' Old Town, on the right bank of the Vilnia River built in 1495-1500 on a wooden house of worship on this spot in honour of Ona, the wife of Vytautas the Great. Behind it stands the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernard.
Napoleon Bonaparte, who was fascinated by the beauty of the church, wanted to take it back to Paris in the palm of his hand. Unfortunately, the reality is not that romantic: during the march of the Napoleonic army through Lithuania, the church was consigned to the French cavalry forces. However, Napoleon did mention in a letter to his wife that „Vilnius is a very beautiful city“.
Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.

RECETA ÚNICA
Tiempo al tiempo debiera ser la consigna
para quienes destilamos desamor
por heridas aun lacerantes
tras certeras puñaladas de burla,
engaños y trampas seductoras
gestadas por persona mal nacida.
Tiempo al tiempo es la receta prescrita
que no se encuentra ni en farmacia ni herbolarios,
sino que en los aconteceres propios de la vida.
Tiempo, al tiempo.
Al tiempo, su tiempo.
Paciente
Espera en la fluidez de las horas que afanan;
no tarde será el día,
que tras remembranzas
te habrás de dar cuenta
que todo es historia,
y, que, finalmente ,
¡ jamás debió doler tanto. ¡
For a change, a few black and white images. Whilst I spent my 2 odd months getting rid of a large quantity of books, I made time to purge external drives and memory sticks for photos either to post or consign to the trash box.

The sun sets over MK.IX Spitfire PT879, one of around 1300 Spitfires consigned to Russia as part of a wartime Lend-Lease program. Constructed at the Vickers Armstrong factory in Castle Bromwich in August 1944, PT879 was shipped via Murmansk to the 2nd Squadron, 767th regiment, 122nd Division of the Russian airforce. PT879 crashed during a dogfight over the Kola peninsula in spring 1945 with just 29 hours on the airframe and was abandoned. The freezing environment preserved the aircraft well, and PT879 was recovered to the UK in 1998, the only Spitfire transferred to Russia to have returned. Much of the original aircraft has been salvaged despite the high speed crash and hundreds of the original parts including the wings reused in the restoration to flying condition making this one of the most original Spitfires from WW2.
An absolute gem and a pleasure to photograph.

"Creinch" is the little isle doing "thirds" duty (good job there isn't a flickr-tax on inverted commas!).
I've somehow managed to shoe-horn The Cobbler into this composition; although it rather a sulks a little, consigned to the far right & - for once - not dominating proceedings.
Go-Ahead London PVL405 (LX54GZT) on route 87 at Wandsworth on 18/06/2018
With Stockwell's new Enviro400 MMC hybrids delivered and entering service, the Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President has become almost extinct.
At one point, the fleet consisted of 419 examples making it at the time the most common type in the fleet.
By June 2018, just 18 examples were left, 15 at Stockwell for the 77 which are being replaced with new Enviro400s and three at Merton as general spares.
PVL405 is seen on the 87, one of three routes they still see service on until they are withdrawn.
*EDIT* - After PVL417 did the N87 on the night of the 22nd June, the PVLs at Stockwell were consigned to the history books. Now just a couple or so remain at Merton.

En 1985, Arman reçoit une commande de l’État pour la création de deux sculptures. L’artiste propose, sur le thème de la gare et du voyage, deux œuvres monumentales qu’il souhaite immédiatement accessibles: "L’Heure de tous" et "Consigne à vie".
"L’Heure de tous" et "Consigne à vie" occupent un emplacement symétrique sur le parvis de la Gare Saint Lazare - 'Consigne à vie' du côté de la Cour de Rome et 'L’Heure de tous' du côté de la Cour du Havre.
"Consigne à vie" est une accumulation de valises. Objets usuels, attributs par excellence du voyage, les valises empilées par l’artiste, sont élevées ici, par la noblesse du bronze, au rang de la statuaire classique.

In 1985, French artist Arman received a commission from the State for the creation of two sculptures. The artist poposed, on the theme of the station and travel, two monumental works that he wished to be immediately accessible: "L'Heure de tous" and "Consigne à vie".
"L'Heure de tous" and "Consigne à vie" occupy a symmetrical location on the forecourt of Gare Saint Lazare - "Consigne à vie" on the side of the Cour de Rome and 'L'Heure de tous' on the side of the Court of Le Havre.
"Consigne à vie/Lifetime deposit" is an accumulation of suitcases. Usual objects, attributes par excellence of travel, the suitcases piled up by the artist, are elevated here, by the nobility of bronze, to the rank of classical statuary.
A rewind to June 2022 sees First Cymru partial open-top Alexander ALX400-bodied Volvo B7TL 32001 arriving at Rest Bay when operating Service 99 (Trecco Bay-Porthcawl-Rest Bay)..
After operating during both the 2021 and 2022 Summer seasons, the service hasn't resumed in 2023 and 32001 is currently parked at Port Talbot depot with a seemingly uncertain future.
2 types d'hôtellerie très différents
Un hôtel charmant dans un grand parc , avec des cases typiques ( petite suite ) pour les chambres et une très grande pour la restauration....A l'intérieur un nombre important de serveurs ..... qui doivent avoir la consigne d'être toujours au travail... un vrai tourbillon....mais sympa
Construit en 1966, l'hôtel Los Caneyes est entouré d'eucalyptus, de cocotiers et de palmiers. Sa construction recrée un village de Tainos aborigènes à la forme de caneyes (genre de cases ou cabanes) d'où le nom de l'hôtel.
Santa Clara est la capitale de la province de Villa Clara. Elle est située à 260 km (298 km par la route) au sud-est de La Havane. Sa population était estimée à 207 963 habitants en 2007. Elle fut fondée en 1689 par les habitants de Remedios qui, par peur des attaques de pirates, avaient fui la côte Pendant la révolution cubaine, le 28 décembre 1958, accompagné de seulement 300 hommes, Che Guevara parvint à prendre la ville avec l'aide d'une partie de la population et à vaincre les quelque 3 000 soldats du dictateur Batista qui la défendaient.C'est aussi là que le Che a été inhumé en 1997
Varadero ... Sur la route qui nous ramène vers le nord , après avoir découvert quelques cayos ( ilots , presqu'ile , reliés entre eux par une belle route qui épargne les mangroves , une petite halte ( 2 nuits ) pour quand même profiter des belles plages et fonds sous marins poissonneux de Varadero .
A 40 km de Matanzas,et 145 km de la Havane avec laquelle Varadero est relié par une route (à l'époque ,sans doute la meilleure de Cuba)
Varadero est un village devenu une station balnéaire réputée dans le monde entier sur les bords de l'atlantique. C'est ici que fut construit le premier hôtel balnéaire de l'île, en 1940. Aujourd'hui, Varadero est le coin le plus touristique de Cuba. L'endroit s'est un peu transformé en station organisée à l'américaine, avec ses complexes hôteliers pharaoniques... Les avis sont partagés ici, pour certains c'est le paradis cubain, pour d'autres Varadero manque vraiment d'authenticité...

Another railway scene very soon to be consigned to the history books - the Bord na Móna's 3-ft gauge railway serving the ESB Lanesborough power station. On Friday 8th November 2019, Bord na Móna 2002-built 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic LM427 (rebuilt in 2017) rounds a curve on the Mountdillon system, nearing the end of its long journey from the peat bog, along the scenic double-track 'main line' section.

After a working life of 45 years, 43924, was consigned to the scrapyard of Woodham Bros. in Barry, South Wales. It secured its place in preservation folklore in 1970 becoming the very first of over 200 locomotives to leave the scrapyard for a life in preservation when a small band of enthusiasts, operating under the name of ‘The 4F Society’, finally gained permission to purchase and remove it. kwvr.co.uk/locos/43924/
Truly 'The one that got away!' The sole remaining example of the early D600 series of 'Warships' of which 5 were originally built by North-British. D601 'Ark Royal' stands un-loved and forgotten at Woodhams-Yard in Barry South-Wales.Considering what has been achieved in the decades that followed in restoration work on many 'Project Impossibles' this would have been an easy reconstruction.However the focal point of the presevationists then was just steam-steam-steam+more steam and this locomotive, if available in 2013 would be scooped up in a matter of days no matter what the cost! It did last until 1980 but was then consigned to scrap..(9 years in service and 13 in this scrapyard.) ...................A pity.................

Resplendent in her grey/green camouflage, pristine looking Royal Air Force No.57 Squadron Handley Page Victor K.2 XL231 seen on display at the 1981 International Air Tattoo, RAF Greenham Common
Designed as one of the V-Bomber Force, Victors were eventually consigned to tanker duties once the British Nuclear deterrent was handed to the Royal Navy.
A year after this photo was taken, in their latter role they excelled themselves supporting the infamous 'Black Buck' bombing missions during the Falklands War and then again several years later, sporting overall hemp colours, the Victors came into their own again with the coalition forces out in the Middle East during the two Gulf Wars.
