An Image as a small status report about my current projects. In 2016 I participated at the Octrainber competition of the BrickModelRailroader Site but have heard nothing from them. So I decided to reuse my large loco MOCs for a planned garden railway inspired by the YouTubers Bananenbuurman and Valthornet. The fish belly bridge has a span of 1.70 m, the arc bridge 1,04 m. Progress is very slow but continuous ...

I am soon beginning a new project, based on a long walk, in a series of small sections, from the city of Wolverhampton to the city of Coventry, and back, as close to the railway that joins the cities as possible.
An outline, probably unnecessarily long, is, here, on my new website.
UPDATE MAY 2022: Website is offline, I wasn't happy with the format, nor entirely with the text. I may one day attempt a website again.
The twilight glow beneath Kentucky Dam last Friday evening (9-13-2013) found the US Army Corps of Engineers Iroquois moored just downstream of the lock, apparently in support of maintenance work upon the lock that will keep it closed until the 24th of this month. The Iroquois was built by Quality Shipyards LLC in Houma, Louisiana in 2005, with twin screws and 2000hp Cat 3508 diesel engines (per Dick's Towboat Gallery: www.towboatgallery.com/Iroquois(USACE).php?mnu=6 ).

One once drove directly across the top of the Kentucky Dam but now US62/US641 and the P&L Railroad cross these new spans opened in 2009 across the Tennessee River just downstream of the dam. One may still drive across the top of the dam to access this new recreation area/fishing pier location on the east bank (there is a similar area on the west bank, as well), and there is also a bike/pedestrian lane that is well-protected/separated from vehicle traffic.
I missed the sunset after getting caught in traffic this past Friday evening but still enjoyed the calm atmosphere and glow afterward (9-13-2013).

This is how I've been spending much of my time lately, building up inventory to take back to the States in July to sell! It's fun and challenging!
Kentucky Dam's lock is closed until 9-24-2013 for scheduled maintenance by the Corps of Engineers, as evidenced by the barge at the downstream end of the lock last Friday evening (9-13-2013) and the navigation notice posted on the Corp's website: www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Media/PublicNotices/tabid/6993/Art... .
The existing lock is only 110'x600', thus the ongoing construction of a second (110'x1200') lock that the two Liebherr cranes in the background are apparently supporting. The new lock construction began in 1998 and has resulted in the relocation of four of TVA's towers, as well as the new highway and P&L bridges.

One of the rainwater pillows that we installed is full after the first rain event of 1.5 to 2 inches of rain in Austin, Texas.

The rainwater pillows have been installed in series so that they share volume. This pump system pulls rainwater from the manifold pipe and sends it to hose bibbs.

A small bit of painted PVC was installed at the bottom of the downspout in order to provide a bit of head pressure to help get the rainwater into the rainwater pillows.
