mug created by the BRCW LTD to fund the rebuild of Hs4000 kestrel
kestrel was built by Brush Traction in 1967 as a technology demonstrator, featuring a 4,000hp Sulzer 16LVA24 and an alternator. The loco was designed to show the benefits of a single high power engine over the twin engine designs then in use on BR. The high power output also meant that Kestrel would be able to haul trains that previously had to be double headed.
As well as using an alternator in place of the usual genetator the loco also featured Dynamic Braking, using electric resistance to slow the train from high speed before the conventional vacuum or air systems took over. The loco also featured solid state systems in place of the usual control cubicle.
In service the loco suffered from a high axle load which Brush tried to correct by fitting bogies from a Class 47. The result was still too high for it to continue on passenger duties so Kestrel moved to freight. At the same time the decision was taken to sell the loco on.
In 1971 Kestrel was overhauled and had its original bogies refitted. There then followed a trip to Cardiff Docks, loading on to the MV Krasnokamsk and of to its new life at the Russian Railway Institute at Scherbinka. After re gauging Kestrel spent its days being tested and examined . The design wasn't suitable for the Russian style of operation, but all wasn't lost as the bogies and internals were copied for use in what has become the most popular loco produced, the Tep70 and its successor the Tep70BS which is still built today.
With everything stripped from the loco the body shell was turned into a load test vehicle with a large block of contrete taking the place of the engine. By the early 90's the institute had lost interest in Kestrel and it was dumped in a courtyard in Kolomna , rusting away. The date the loco finally met its end isn't known, but is believed to be 1994.
In 2014 BRCW included Kestrel as one of its projects, hoping to use the advances in materials and technology since it was designed to bring down the weight towards the desired 21.5 tonnes per axle. The hunt began for information about the fate of the body shell and its contents, along with the drawings and the location of any surviving engines. Anyone who has tried this kind of research will know that for every step forward you are lucky if you only take one back. There is a lot of contradicting information around and it has taken time to work through everything to discover which bits are true and which aren't.

An image I made today using Adobe Illustrator CS3.
The circles were placed by hand, in a random fashion. I tried later to make this again more "perfectly" (mathematically), and found it defeated the purpose. There is a place for mathematical perfection, and a place for art, and while oft they do intertwine, always separate must they be as well.
By over-thinking it, I staunch my creativity. By letting myself go, I achieve this.
Create a crumpled, torn paper effect with any image in Photoshop. The tutorial is here : photoshopper27.blogspot.com/2011/02/crumpled-and-torn-pap...
Created this baptism cake which dawned a replica of the baby's christening dress and bracelet she was going to wear. It was simple and dainty which is just what the customer wanted.

Raven_in_mythology from Wikipedia
Raven creates the world
A raven story from the Puget Sound region describes the "Raven" as having originally lived in the land of spirits (literally bird land) that existed before the world of humans. One day the Raven became so bored with bird land that he flew away, carrying a stone in his beak. When the Raven became tired of carrying the stone and dropped it, the stone fell into the ocean and expanded until it formed the firmament on which humans now live.
In the creator role, and in the Raven's role as the totem and ancestor of one of the four northwest clan houses, the Raven is often addressed as Grandfather Raven. It is not clear whether this form of address is intended to refer to a creator Raven who is different from the trickster Raven, or if it is just a vain attempt to encourage the trickster spirit to act respectably.
Bill Reid created the sculpture of The Raven and The First Men depicting a scene from a Haida myth that unifies the Raven as both the trickster and the creator. According to this myth, the raven who was both bored and well fed, found and freed some creatures trapped in a clam. These scared and timid beings were the first men of the world, and they were coaxed out of the clam shell by the raven. Soon the raven was bored with these creatures and planned to return them to their shell. Instead, the raven decided to search for the female counterparts of these male beings. The raven found some female humans trapped in a chiton, freed them, and was entertained as the two sexes met and began to interact. The raven, always known as a trickster, was responsible for the pairing of humans and felt very protective of them. With the Raven perceived as the creator, many Haida myths and legends often suggest the raven as a provider to mankind. Is based on the learchetypes of The outcast archetypes.
