On our way home from Cambridge NZ over Christmas I made Mike stop so I could take a photo of this delightful old building. It has seen better days which is always why I love capturing them, they are part of our history.

It must be Spring as nests are popping up all over. This Great White Egret is bringing a finely selected stick back with him. I wonder if that is for the Living room or one of the Bedrooms...

 

Have a great weekend Everyone!

Contractors have begun to clear the rubble, weeds and new grown trees from behind the fences in preparation for restoration on 41 arches to begin.

Two views of the pier at Achnacroish on the island of Lismore. This was built on 1880, but modified and added to over the years before replacement of the ferry by ro-ro craft that only require a slipway. The island lies in Loch Linnhe, although the waters on the east side (seen here) is usually known as the Lynn of Lorn. A plaque on the structure gives the date 1880, John Strainge - Engineer, M&K McDonald & J Goodwin & Coy Contractors.

 

Lismore is a fairly small island, less than ten miles long and just over a mile wide, in 2022 supporting a population of around two hundred, an increase on ten years earlier, although a century or so earlier still the number had exceeded a thousand, whilst in 1841 it was recorded as 1399.

Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). Since this was the preferred style of the Rothschild's it became also known as the Goût Rothschild. The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors. The Baron wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley. The Baron, a member of the Viennese branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty, chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy. Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord. However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate. The structural design of Waddesdon, however, was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors. The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son. The towers were modelled on the staircase towers of Château de Chambord. One of the twin staircase-towers inspired by those at the Château de Maintenon. Once his château was complete, Baron Ferdinand installed his extensive collections of French 18th-century tapestries, boiseries, furniture and ceramics, English and Dutch paintings and Renaissance works of art. Extensive landscaping was carried out and the gardens enhanced with statuary, pavilions and an aviary. The Proserpina fountain was brought to the manor at the end of the 19th Century from the Palace of the Dukes of Parma in northern Italy: the Ducal Palace of Colorno. The gardens and landscape park were laid out by the French landscape architect Elie Lainé. An attempt was made to transplant full-grown trees by chloroforming their roots, to limit the shock. While this novel idea was unsuccessful, many very large trees were successfully transplanted, causing the grounds to be such a wonder of their day that, in 1890, Queen Victoria invited herself to view them. The Queen was, however, more impressed by the electric lighting in the house than the wonders of the park. Fascinated by the invention she had not seen before, she is reported to have spent ten minutes switching a newly electrified 18th-century chandelier on and off. When Baron Ferdinand died in 1898, the house passed to his sister Alice de Rothschild, who further developed the collections. Baron Ferdinand's collection of Renaissance works and a collection of arms were both bequeathed to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest". During World War II, children under the age of five were evacuated from London and lived at Waddesdon Manor. Following Alice de Rothschild's death in 1922, the property and collections passed to her great-nephew James A. "Jimmy" de Rothschild of the French branch of the family, who further enriched it with objects from the collections of his late father Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. When James de Rothschild died in 1957, he bequeathed Waddesdon Manor, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of grounds and its contents to the National Trust, to be preserved for posterity. The Trust also received their largest ever endowment from him: £750,000 (£15,310,270 as of 2014).

“. . . one of the Navy’s most useful helpers in fighting the U-boats is a recently perfected Diesel engine called a ‘pancake’ because its cylinders are stacked one above the other. Combined with GM-developed controllable pitch propellers, this engine has made possible a new-type subchaser with more speed, wider range, increased maneuverability – and therefore greater effectiveness. . .” [From the ad copy]

 

This WWII-era ad highlights a significant leap in naval engineering. While General Motors’ marketing language focused on the "pancake" moniker, the combination of the GM 16-184A Diesel engine and controllable pitch propellers fundamentally changed the performance of subchasers (specifically the PC-461 and SC classes). The engine’s vertical design saved 80% in weight, allowing for more weaponry and fuel, and it occupied only one-third the space of traditional diesels. This allowed subchasers to be faster with more range without increasing the ship’s overall size.

 

The controllable pitch propeller was the "secret sauce" for effectiveness against U-boats. Unlike standard propellers, these allowed the ship to change direction (forward to reverse) or speed almost instantly by tilting the propeller blades rather than waiting for the engine to change RPMs. This allowed subchasers to stay directly over a submerged U-boat during depth charge runs, a task that required precise, slow-speed handling that older engines struggled to maintain.

 

By optimizing the power-to-weight ratio, these subchasers could reach speeds of approximately 20–22 knots, allowing them to outrun surfaced U-boats and close the distance quickly once a sonar contact was made. Because the engines were so efficient and light, the ships could carry enough fuel to escort convoys across vast stretches of the Atlantic, whereas previous smaller craft were often tethered to coastal operations. The ship’s compact size also enabled its mass production, the “splinter fleet” that patrolled the coasts.

2021 STONHAM BARNS SWEDEFEST TWO TRIBES TRUCK SHOW

One of the two former Montana Rail Link SW1200's recently acquired by Railway Service Contractors, Inc. was spotted outside the shop for an impromptu photo shoot on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Though all MRL and Washington Companies logos have been patched out since being sold, MRL blue is still a welcome sight here.

 

This was built in July of 1957 for the Northern Pacific as the NP No. 161. Later, it was passed to the Burlington Northern as the BN No. 220 before coming to the Montana Rail Link as the MRL No. 13. As a result of the fallout from the BNSF takeover of the MRL at the beginning of this year, Mike Roberts of Railway Service Contractors, Inc. purchased a pair of SW1200's, the former MRL No. 13 & 17. Both are now patched out with MJRX reporting marks. 3/10/24.

Another tough guy....!

Have a great time,thank you for visit.

I said, I did. The daedric version of the Contractor Mask was done.

 

Also, I'm using the Wintage version of the Somber ENB now. I loved it!! =D

Ken at www.customminifig.co.uk suggested redoing this guy with the Hazel ISA M4. The result looks cool IMO, however I do like my Brickarms assault rifle / shotgun hybrid.

  

Scammell Contractor I spotted sitting around Wingfield. Looks like it was a prime mover, and it's running a Cummins NTA400 under the hood.

The new Navarre Beach Pier opened on June 5, 2010 after five years of patience and hard work by Santa Rosa County citizens, staff and contractors after Hurricanes Ivan and Dennis destroyed the existing pier in 2004 and 2005. An extension to the original 1,500 ft pier design by 45 feet makes the this version the longest pier in Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Some of the features include:

- Concrete piles: 150- two foot square concrete piles totaling over 10,000 feet in length combined

- An octagonal end design with a surface area of approximately 3,800 square feet

Deck: over 800 breakaway wood panels, which will detach during heavy wave action and help preserve integrity of the structure, reducing possible storm repair costs

- Seven potable water spigots

- Deck height- 30 feet above the water

- Surface: over 32,000 square feet of accessible surface

- Railing: more than 3,000 feet of handrail with no obstructions located above the railing which would interfere with fishing

- Attendant building with stair and handicap accessible ramp access to pier

- Over 90 low wattage lights and concrete bollards to protect sea turtle nesting

- Sixteen handicap accessible railing locations

 

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
