Notes: A plate from Palais du Louvre et des Tuileries. Motifs d'architecture et de decoration ensembles et details tires des constructions executees au nouveau Louvre et au Palais des Tuileries, sous la direction de M. Lefuel. Paris: J.E. Ogier, 1869 (in three parts). This was Baldus first pubication of his own photographic work in photogravure form. Originally trained as a painter and having also worked as a draughtsman and lithographer before switching to photography in 1849, Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), became a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.

A location now consigned to the mess of electrification knitting so one from the archives for a long overdue processing.
The chase was on with a mad dash from Denchworth to double stamp 60065 "Spirit of Jaguar" thudding nicely past the gallery at Shrivenham with the 6b33 Theale-Robeston empties.
Une allée où l'on a aucun mal à respecter la distanciation des personnes, des manèges qui tournent à vide ou peu s'en faut, des forains qui guettent les rares touristes, des consignes covid omniprésentes : une Fête bien particulière cet été. Triste !
Railtours of the 1980s
After arrival at Weymouth Town station behind Class 46 Peak 46026 'Leicestershire & Derbyshire Yeomanry' on the 'Class 46 Tribute' railtour, I lost no time in getting down to the Weymouth Quay branch to capture this rare opportunity - a Class 33 taking the Waterloo-Weymouth Quay Boat Train down the branch :) A sight that has now sadly been consigned to history.
A basher can be seen enjoying the experience in Mark 1 coach S3923.

Locomotive History
D6519 / 33106 entered traffic in August 1960 as D6519 allocated to Hither Green MPD. In April 1966 D6519 was transferred to Eastleigh which would become its home depot for the next twenty three years before a final transfer to Stewarts Lane in February 1989. In March 1967 it received push-pull apparatus and high-level brake pipes and jumper cables and became part of the class 33/1 sub class. 33106 survived in traffic for thirty years until withdrawn in November 1990. Following withdrawal it was broken up by Coopers Metals on site at Eastleigh MPD in September 1992.
Push-pull Class 33s - During the mid 1960’s third-rail electrification was expanding on the Southern Region, however it was not considered to be justified to extend beyond Bournemouth on the South West Main Line, and so in 1966, D6580 was fitted with experimental push-pull apparatus and high-level brake pipes and jumper cables to make it compatible with Southern Region Electric Multiple Unit stock. Tests were carried out on the Oxted Line using a 6-coach rake of unpowered EMU coaches (designated TC, the T standing for Trailer). Following successful completion of trials, D6580 and eighteen other members of the class entered Eastleigh works in 1967 to be converted Class 33/1, fitted with a modified version of the push-pull apparatus (fully compatible with Class 73 Electro-Diesels) and painted in the new BR corporate blue with full yellow ends. With the advent of the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme, these modified locomotives were numbered 33101–33119. At one time class 34 was earmarked for these modified Class 33 locomotives but in the end was never used.
The above fascinating information courtesy of John Woolley Photos :)
Class 33 - in December 1957 British Railways ordered forty-five Type 3 diesel-electric locomotives from the Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company (BRCW) for Southern Region duties. They were required as part of the general modernisation resulting from Phase I of the Kent Coast Electrification scheme. The number was later increased to a total of ninety-eight including twelve special ’slim line’ locomotives for use on the width-restricted Tonbridge-Hastings line. Based on the BRCW type 2’s (Class 26/27) of the Scottish Region, the Southern locomotives were more powerful with eight cylinder Sulzer engines and Crompton-Parkinson electrical equipment. All were delivered new to Hither Green MPD, beginning in 1959, and were allocated the numbers D6500-97.
All 86 of the first delivery were built as standard locomotives, numbered D6500 to D6585. Under TOPS they became class 33/0 and the surviving locomotives, excluding the 19 that were converted for push-pull operation (33101 to 33119), were renumbered 33001–33065. The 12 narrow-bodied locomotives were originally numbered D6586 to D6597, and later renumbered 33201 to 33212. More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_33

A route that TfL are planning to consign to the dustbin of history. Route 10 is to be scrapped and half of its length tagged on to half of route 23. Somehow I don't think the future amended route will be carrying as many people as London United's LT84 is as it heads up Park Lane towards Oxford St and Kings Cross.
Another lunatic decision from TfL.
In a time honoured scene played-out daily at the Midland Railway's magnificent London terminus, and now consigned to history, Class 45 45134 with its Mk.2 air-conditioned stock, was stood in the evening sunshine at St Pancras with the 17.50 departure to Nottingham on April 12th 1980.
The loco was a product of Crewe Works, emerging new as D126 in November 1961. It was renumbered to 45134 in August 1974, and spent the majority of its working life on Midland Mainline Class 1 duties. It was withdrawn in September 1987, but was not scrapped until May 1994.
A location and photographic spot that has been consigned to the history books unless there is a major gardening clearance which is unlikely in the present climate, being Brooksbottom Viaduct on the East Lancashire Railway. Crossing the viaduct on a cold winter's day is GWR 4-6-0 'Castle' No 5029 Nunney Castle on the 13.30hrs Bury to Rawtenstall 'Santa' train. 20th December 1992.

When this picture was taken on 17 July 1984, PVS had just been awarded the contract for taking scrap RM`s and this had commenced on the previous day with the phased removal of several such buses that had gathered at Aldenham. It would be a couple more days before a big clear out of buses at AEC began and that`s why neither of these two have PVS chalked on their windscreens - the top portion of which on Leyland RM 62 is so new that it hasn`t been painted. Not that there would have been any point after the front end shunt that consigned it to scrap. It departed on 7 August. RM 390, an AEC, was listed as a wear and tear withdrawal and it departed on 3 August.
Consignes de sécurité lors de l'observation des phoques :
- Ne les dérangez pas en faisant des bruits forts ou en jetant des objets.
- Éloignez les chiens et les enfants.
- Ne les nourrissez pas et n'essayez jamais de les toucher.
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.
Give thanks for a little, and you will find a lot. 😊
Remerciez un peu, et T’en trouveras beaucoup.🙏

...its back to the archives, luckily in my endevour to learn about photography i take copious amounts of frames and hopefully the ones that did not jump out immediately will sustain me in this enforced camera drought (probably the wrong term lol)
Yet another classic locomotive consigned to the history books! Direct Rail Services 37682 stands at Derby shortly after arriving from Derby RTC. From here, it worked 1Q27 to Didcot T.C, with 37402 on the rear. By all accounts, 37682 is now sat in Booths Scrapyard, Rotherham. 29/09/13.
Positioning for a narrow valley in the UKLFS.....Great sight..BUT soon to be consigned to the history books sadly?
47 486 pauses at Dawlish with 1E37 the 10.54 Paignton to Leeds City. A Bescot allocated machine at the time but an early ETH fitted withdrawal too as the loco caught fire in May 1987 and was deemed beyond economic repair being withdrawn on 06/07/1987. It was eventually consigned to Vic Berry's at Leicester and met its certain fate at the hands of the gas axe on 16/06/1989.
Peu avant sa mort, le vieil homme lui confia une malle dans laquelle Oswald découvrit un grand nombre de grimoires dans lesquels était consigné tout ce qu’il fallait pour détruire et désespérer les créatures vivantes.
Mais le vieux sorcier avait mis une condition à son cadeau :
- Oswald, tu es le dernier enfant de la dynastie de Merlin. Si tu veux véritablement entrer en possession de ces livres, tu dois me promettre de trouver une épouse digne de toi. Et de lui faire un enfant, un enfant qui continuera ton œuvre et la mienne.
- Mais comment, grand-père ? Je ne connais personne. Et encore moins les femmes.
- Je sais, je sais, Oswald. Mais écoute donc. Il y a près de quinze ans, j’ai affronté dans le royaume de Kalamine, un seigneur redoutable, le comte Smiroff. Il était si valeureux au combat, qu’il força mon admiration. Et qu’exceptionnellement, j’ai décidé de lui laisser la vie sauve. Mais à une condition : qu’il me donne en mariage la première femme qu’il croiserait en rentrant chez lui. Le comte accepta mon marché et le signa de son sang sur le parchemin que voici. Il pensait qu’il ne croiserait qu’une domestique, que sa promesse ne l’engagerait pas...mais ce fut son épouse, enceinte de huit mois, qui vint à sa rencontre. Tu imagines aisément à quel point il fut bouleversé. Hélas,la pauvre femme mourut en mettant leur enfant au monde. Je ne pus donc obtenir l’épouse que je convoitais. Mais l’enfant du comte était une fille, toujours en vie. A l’heure qu’il est, la petite est presque en âge de se marier. Alors, c’est toi qui ira de ma part, la chercher. Son père ne pourra pas te la refuser. Ainsi, grâce à moi, descendance te sera assurée.
Oswald promit. Plus pour obtenir les grimoires qu’il convoitait que pour respecter les dernières volontés du vieux sorcier. Il ne voulait pas se marier. Ce qui le passionnait, c’était le pouvoir, les richesses qu’il pouvait encore obtenir grâce aux formules de ses ancêtres.
Depuis cet héritage, dans son laboratoire secret, il ne cessait de fabriquer les potions et les sortilèges les plus maléfiques, et bientôt, il commença à tester leurs effets sur tous ceux et celles qu’il rencontrait, afin de les dominer, de les réduire en esclavage ou de s’en servir comme légion zélée à sa cause.
C’est ainsi qu’il gagna en terres et en pouvoir, et qu’il transforma peu à peu les curieux et les étourdis qui s’approchaient un peu trop de son domicile, qui en vampire, qui en balai, qui en seau, qui en statuette de pierre ou de métal…Ce genre de sort l’amusait beaucoup.
La forêt où il vivait s’était donc peu à peu vidée de ses habitants...à l’exception d’un domaine secret, protégé des anges et des fées, la vallée heureuse.

Despues de bajar las cisternas de Cepsa (Las que estan a la derecha del MABI) Y de bajar un Irun desde Abroñigal, el cual no saldra hasta el domingo. Nos toco formar un tren de 15 plataformas y 3 cisternas inutiles, normalmente se manda este material a Vicalvaro donde se repara. El material estaba etiquetado con el modelo “K”, “NO VOLVER A CARGAR”.
Por si quereis saber mas de este modelo:
MODELO “K”, NO VOLVER A CARGAR. Ordena la Baja en Destino (B.D) y es de color azul. (Recogido en la IG Nº1) Esta formado por 4 ejemplares autocalcables, con identica numeracion situados en un talonario numerado en una serie continua creciente y llevando el mismo numero por grupos de 4.
El 1er y 2º ejemplar son para colocar a uno y otro lado del vehiculo, no sustituyendo en ningun caso al resto de las etiquetas comerciales que pudiera llevar.
El 3er ejemplar se entregara debidamente cumplimentado al Jefe de Circulacion para que lo firme y de las ordenes oportunas para su introduccion en el SACIM con clave “Y”. Posteriormente lo entrega al Maquinista del tren par que forme parte de la documentacion del mismo.
El 4º ejemplar se quedara en el talonario como matriz.
Se establecera para aquellos vehiculos que presente una anomalia que no impida su circulacion hasta destino, pero que debe ser dado de baja para su reparacion ya que, de no ser asi, esta averia podria degenerar en un peligro para la circulacion o mercancia transportada, en el caso de vagones.
Cuando el modelo “K” se establezca para sustituir a otro “1” (Reparar In-Situ) Como se dijo en el punto 4, y caso de tratarse de coche, vagon cargado facturado o vacio consignado, el destino a figurar sera el del Taller Reparador, siendo el tercer ejemplar del mismo el que acompañara a la documentacion de dicho vehiculo, en el caso de vagones.
Se cumplimentara y firmara por el personal de Material Remolcado, o personal especializado, asi como por el Jefe de Circulacion en el caso considerado en el apartado siguiente ( “vagon cargado o coche en servicio”).
En todos los casos, el Jefe de Circulacion debera firmar y sellar el modelo y lo establecera cuando un vehiculo que ha producido una incidencia continue en su tren, por haber sido reparado provisionalmente por el Maquinista u otro personal ajeno a Material Remolcado.
Si el vehiculo estuviera vacio y sin consignar, el destino del mismo sera la estación donde está ubicado el Taller Reparador.
Se indicara, si procede porque asi lo aconseje la averia del vehiculo, las condiciones especiales de circulacion.
In a scene now firmly consigned to the history books, ex-Eastern Counties Wright Axcess Floline-bodied L94 65593 takes on a very healthy load on West George St (Queen St Station) with a early evening 38C to Chryston in mid October 2015, with native Eclipse-bodied B7L 61656 tailing behind with a Easterhouse-bound 41. Bonus points for catching two interesting 'via' points on both vehicles (Alexandra Parade or Alex' Parade on 593 and Edinburgh Road on 656; would have preferred Carntyne Square in hindsight lol); this was no doubt deliberate on my part. ;)
The former was one of a number of ex-Eastern Counties L94s transferred north to Glasgow in the early 2000s and was, if memory serves, the last to remain in service with the division by this late stage. It would be transferred west to Dumbarton shortly after this shot was taken as part of a round of service changes, where it would spend the last 2 months of it's service life before being displaced entirely by ex-Lanarkshire B10BLEs by the end of the year.
If one were to try and recreate this shot now, not only does Queen St's frontage look completely different (the station underwent a massive rebuilding programme starting in March 2016; lengthened platforms, massively expanded concourse/new frontage, full electrification etc) & route-branded E400MMCs have taken both 593 & 656's places.

Arriving into London Heathrow, 25th August 2019 wearing "A Big Virgin Atlantic Thank you" decals in recognition of the airlines then 9000+ employees worldwide.
Named Sleeping Beauty the airline also added "Rejuvenated", as the A340 had been parked pending disposal but delays to the arrival of newer aircraft lead to the carrier returning the type to serivce. Sadly, seven months later as the Covid pandemic took a firm hold, Virgin Atlantic like all other carriers were forced to cull their workforce and fleet alike in order to survive. The A340 is now consigned to Virgin Atlantic's history books.
With the sun vanishing, and the Bonner local already in the yard, it was decided to do one last pass by the yard just in case anything was going on. Rolling towards the tank farms, we ended up with one last catch as MRL 252 shuffled cars around the massive facility. Much like the rest of the SD40-2XR fleet, 252’s on its second life as it was built for the Union Pacific in April of 1966 where it served as SD40 number 3024, before around 1966 ending up on the MRL who rebuilt it into an SD40-2XR. It’s unknown what will be happing to these motors once BNSF completes its takeover of the Montana Rail Link in the not too distant future, but one can only hope these motors find a good home instead of being consigned to the scrap piles.
Tel un automate sans réelle consigne,
je reste planté là dans l'attente d'un signe,
à jamais me libèrerait de ma tristesse,
perdue dans les dédales de mon ivresse

(Loreena McKennitt - "Cymbeline" )
"Fear no more the heat o’ the sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o’ 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-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finish’d joy and moan:
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust."
- William Shakespeare, Cymbeline Act IV, Scene 2

I am indebted to the Southern Electric Group for the following historical information:
Between November 1965 and April 1966 the best of the Pul and Pan vehicles were put together as ten 6 Cor. units, numbered 3041-3050 and formed motor brake second, trailer second, trailer composite, trailer first, trailer second and motor brake second. Initially they were spare on the Central Division but were all transferred to the South Eastern Division in July 1967 for use on rush hour and excursion services. The trailer composites were then downgraded to all second class. Their working life on the South Eastern lasted only a few months and the units were put into semi-retirement at the end of the year. They were all withdrawn and scrapped between 1968 and 1971.

The presence of RM 420 over a pit in Peckham Garage on 21 August 1982 would possibly have discovered a reason - such as a cracked B frame - to consign it to withdrawal in advance of two hundred RM`s being taken out of service a couple of weeks later. Being only a year out of last overhaul and not on the `hit list` of likely RM`s to be withdrawn, something caused it to be in the first batch of RM`s for parts reclaim and eventual scrapping.

Consigna: Compartir un desayuno - cotidiano - regalarte un poquito de nuestra intimidad.
Yo hice mi foto hoy, el día de tu cumpleaños. Literalmente, desayune con vos! Mi desayuno es el mate. El mate es compartir, y yo quiero compartir con vos algo que escribió Lalo, un periodista Argentino, que siempre me saca una sonrisa cuando lo leo.
"Un mate y un amor"
El mate no es una bebida. Bueno, sí. Es un líquido y entra por la boca.
Pero no es una bebida. En este país nadie toma mate porque tenga sed.
Es más bien una costumbre, como rascarse.
El mate es exactamente lo contrario que la televisión: te hace conversar si estás con alguien, y te hace pensar cuando estás solo. Cuando llega alguien a tu casa la primera frase es ´hola´ y la segunda
´¿unos mates?´.
Esto pasa en todas las casas. En la de los ricos y en la de los pobres.
Pasa entre mujeres charlatanas y chismosas, y pasa entre hombres serios o inmaduros.
Pasa entre los viejos de un geriátrico y entre los adolescentes mientras estudian o se drogan.
Es lo único que comparten los padres y los hijos sin discutir ni echarse en cara.
Peronistas y radicales ceban mate sin preguntar.
En verano y en invierno.
Es lo único en lo que nos parecemos las víctimas y los verdugos los buenos y los malos.
Cuando tenés un hijo, le empezás a dar mate cuando te pide.. Se lo das tibiecito, con mucha azúcar, y se sienten grandes. Sentís un orgullo enorme cuando un esquenuncito de tu sangre empieza a chupar mate. Se te sale el
corazón del cuerpo.
Después ellos, con los años, elegirán si tomarlo amargo, dulce, muy caliente, tereré, con cáscara de naranja, con yuyos, con un chorrito de limón.
Cuando conocés a alguien por primera vez, te tomás unos mates. La gente
pregunta, cuando no hay confianza: ´¿Dulce o amargo?´. El otro responde:
´Como tomes vos´.
Los teclados de Argentina tienen las letras llenas de yerba.
La yerba es lo único que hay siempre, en todas las
casas. Siempre. Con inflación, con hambre, con militares, con democracia, con cualquiera de nuestras pestes y maldiciones eternas. Y si un día no hay yerba, un vecino
tiene y te da. La yerba no se le niega a nadie.
Éste es el único país del mundo en donde la decisión de dejar de ser un chico y empezar a ser un hombre ocurre un día en particular.
Nada de pantalones largos, circuncisión, universidad o vivir lejos de los padres.
Acá empezamos a ser grandes el día que tenemos la necesidad de tomar por primera vez unos mates, solos. No es casualidad. No es porque sí.
El día que un chico pone la pava al fuego y toma su primer mate sin que haya nadie en casa, en ese minuto, es que ha descubierto que tiene alma..
O está muerto de miedo, o está muerto de amor, o algo: pero no es un día cualquiera.
Ninguno de nosotros nos acordamos del día en que tomamos por primera vez un mate solo. Pero debe haber sido un día importante para cada uno.
Por adentro hay revoluciones.
El sencillo mate es nada más y nada menos que una demostración de valores...
Es la solidaridad de bancar esos mates lavados porque la charla es buena.
La charla, no el mate.
Es el respeto por los tiempos para hablar y escuchar,
vos hablás mientras el otro toma y es la sinceridad para decir: ¡Basta, cambiá la yerba!´.
Es el compañerismo hecho momento.
Es la sensibilidad al agua hirviendo.
Es el cariño para preguntar, estúpidamente, ´¿está caliente, no?´.
Es la modestia de quien ceba el mejor mate.
Es la generosidad de dar hasta el final.
Es la hospitalidad de la invitación.
Es la justicia de uno por uno.
Es la obligación de decir ´gracias´, al menos una vez al día.
Es la actitud ética, franca y leal de encontrarse sin mayores pretensiones que compartir.
Este mate, cebado con todo el cariño del que soy capaz, es para meterlo en una ronda enorme que de la vuelta al mundo, y decirte muy feliz cumple!!!!
Almost ready to be consigned to the compost....
Decided it was time to try some of my other lensbaby lenses and gizmos
With the Barrhead electrification project now complete and energised the focus will soon turn to the East Kilbride project and this scene of a Class 156 arriving at the routes terminus will eventually be consigned to history.
The East Kilbride project was to be a comprehensive upgrade to one of Glasgow's main commuter routes with full doubling of the line, extended platforms as well as new ones but budgetary pressures have led to a descoping of some elements. In it's current form the project will bring about electrification of the entire route from Busby Junction to East Kilbride, the extension of Hairmyres loop and the relocation of Hairmyres station alongside platform works at other stations.
While the work that remains in scope is still a significant upgrade for this route it remains to be seen whether descoping those other elements will come back to bite in the future.

Chacune était décrite et dessinée avec minutie! Il a été le fondateur du Jardin Botanique de Montréal! Il a découvert que le lys, notre plante nationale, à l'époque, n'existait pas à l'état naturel, dans nos forets. Par contre l' Iris Versicolore abondait, partout! Il en a fait l'emblème floral national du Québec!

Bröderna Ivansson's scrapyard has gone from being a destruction site for cars to a cultural meeting place.
A different attraction
Båstnäs is truly a different attraction, northern Europe's only car scrapyard of its kind. If you travel from Töcksfors via Västra Fågelvik for approximately 25 kilometers on winding dirt roads, you will come to a signpost where it says Här lüttar allmn väg, then you will find yourself in Båstnäs and the car cemetery, and immediately existence feels a little surreal.
Cultural meeting place
The car cemetery is a monument to a time that has moved. Now the cars in Båstnäs can be seen as an installation where nature is the most important actor. Over the years, Båstnäs has become a cultural meeting place for artists and especially photographers from all over the world.
