Quatre tours et batteries, près des Ponts Couverts : classement par arrêté du 6 juillet 1928
The Soviet Lada and the Czechoslovakian Škoda were very popular buys for the budget motorist in the 1980s. He or she could buy a rugged, well-equiped (for the money) and, despite the jokes, reliable brand-new family car for very little money. The Škoda - known as the Estelle in the UK market - was a rear-engined car, whilst the Lada, which was derived from a Fiat design, and in many ways actually improved, had a 1200cc front engine.
Seen here on the SALT Area 7 tour, March 24th, 2013. The SALT Rallies are for vehicles built in the Cold War period, and the events tour Cold-War related venues. Most of the participating vehicles come from the Soviet Bloc, but there is no political element, implied or actual in the SALT ethos. This one-day event took place in East Yorkshire, and culminated in a visit in the until-recently top secret AREA 7 of the underground bunker at RAF Holmpton.

Similar in form to my chromium specimen, this piece consists entirely of a plumose/botryoidal formation of nickel "crystals". It was most definitely grown in a laboratory, but think that it is still an intriguing and attractive piece - it makes me think of a volcanic ash cloud.
A detail of the small bridge at the entrance to Kansa-gu Shrine, near Lake Tazawa in Senboku-shi, Akita Prefecture, Japan. The decorative element of the railing structure is called giboju or giboshi, which comprises the newel, an upright post structure of oyabashira, on top of which sits a jewel shape, known as hōju, hōju-no-tama or nyoi houju. It resembles the onion domes seen in Western or Baltic cultures, but it is mostly likely the form of the peach, which is the fruit symbolic of immortality and healing, as it signifies the bestowal of blessings on all who suffer, granting wishes, pacifying desires and bringing clear understanding of the Dharma (Buddhist law).

Somewhat under whelmed by this Gala. At 4 1/2 mile long there hamstrung by the length of the line and only one passing loop to allow trains to pass.
The steep incline from Keighley station provides excellent demonstration of steam power.

Our Winter Steam Gala is returning for 2017, Friday 3rd March – Sunday 5th March. With the bridge difficulties well and truly behind us and a successful Autumn Steam Spectacular in October including two guest locomotives, ‘Battle of Britain’ class 34053 ‘Sir Keith Park’ and Manor Class 7822 ‘Foxcote Manor’, we are delighted that once again we will be welcoming TWO visiting locomotives to the Railway – LNER B1 Class 4-6-0 61264, courtesy of the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust, and LMS ‘Crab’ 2-6-0 13065, courtesy of the East Lancashire Railway.
LNER B1 Class 4-6-0 61264
Designed by Edward Thompson, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London North Eastern Railway (LNER), the B1 class was a wartime utility mixed-traffic locomotive for general passenger and freight duties. 61264 was built at the Glasgow works of the North British Locomotive Company and entered traffic at Parkeston Quay, Harwich in 1947 as 1264 in LNER Apple Green livery. During 13 years in Suffolk, hauling express passenger trains to and from London Liverpool Street station.
Withdrawn in 1965 and after use as a stationary boiler, 61264 found itself in Barry scrapyard, the only ex-LNER engine to reside there, and one of only 2 B1s to survive. Purchased by the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust in 1976. It was to be 21 years before the engine returned to action on the Great Central Railway.
Today the 61264’s home is on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway as a mainline certified engine and regularly works onto the national network to Whitby with occasional railtours across the UK. Thanks to its mainline credentials, 61264 will arrive via our connection with Network Rail at Keighley.
(The photograph below depicts 61264 approaching Mytholmes when it appeared at the 2003 Autumn Gala masquerading as long lost classmate 61244 ‘Strang Steel’.)

LMS Hughes ‘Crab’ 2-6-0 13065
Designed by George Hughes, Chief Mechanical Engineer these mixed traffic locomotives were the first purely LMS design to be introduced at the grouping, and built at the ex-L&YR works at Horwich and the ex-LNWR works at Crewe.
Having been built at Crewe, 13065 entered service in 1927 at Kentish Town shed in north west London resplendent in LMS crimson lake livery with its number carried on the tender. During the next 39 years it received the number 2765 by the LMS, becoming 42765 under BR and after being based at various sheds throughout the London Midland region was withdrawn from Birkenhead in December 1966.
Barry scrapyard beckoned and it was in 1978 that the locomotive was rescued and moved to Ingrow on the KWVR for restoration. This visit will therefore be somewhat of a home coming. Although some work was undertaken in the Worth Valley, 42765 moved to the East Lancashire Railway and was returned to traffic in 1994. After a second overhaul the engine was unveiled in 2014 in its original livery as 13065.
13065-161106-jc 13065-1612041-ii
Although not fully confirmed, in addition to these visiting locomotives, for 2 days, it is anticipated that we will also have two “old” LMS ‘Black 5’ stalwarts, our own 45212 and 45407 from Ian Riley’s fleet at Bury.
If the visit comes to fruition, and our organisers are working hard to make this happen, both 45407 & 45212 will operate full diagrams on Saturday and Sunday before setting off for mainline railtour duties on the ‘big’ railway.

Guided tours of the Haworth Locomotive Works
Once again we will be running our unique tour behind the scenes in our engine shed and workshop at Haworth, the tours being led by our experienced and knowledgeable volunteer tour guides,. The tours are organised to raise funds to restore the Ivatt 2-6-2T 41241 and although the tours are free, we do ask our guests to consider making a Gift Aided donation, usually in the region of £5 to the KWVR Charity (no 1136853).
Tour times will connect with trains from Keighley arriving at Haworth where you will meet your guide at Haworth Station for your 45/60 minute tour.
Inside the shed you will see Standard 2 78022, Ivatt 41241 and Lancashire and Yorkshire ‘Ironclad’ 0-6-0 no. 957, The Green Dragon in the film The Railway Children, undergoing restoration and investigation – and maybe more.
A bit of lovely sunset reflected on my barbeque grill. It's not terribly clean at the moment due to rain last night, but it had a nice texture in the sunset.
Single in October 24, 2013 Super Takumar 50mm 1.4 8-Element
Would work like a regular 1x1 tile, but would fit over a 1x1 round brick and act as a cap. I guess it would be better with a grove along the bottom, but my art skillz aren't that good.
A macro shot of a light bulb.
Taken @ 1/1000 Sec Exposure - f/10, to get the coil element of the globe.
Taken for the Pix weekly challenge, Theme: "MACRO - Images of everyday objects."(not flowers nor insects).
I'll be painting products for my business (armor, helmets, guns, etc...)
I want to know what is the best type of paint out there (Not for camo, but for painting armor, specifically brickwarriors and minifigcat and brickforge armor).
Also, I want to know how to get a "battle" damaged look on the armor, not too damaged, but I don't want it to look "brand new" if you know what I mean. How would I do this sort of thing?
And should I paint with a toothpick, or very thin paint brush?
I added you if I wanted your opinion. Opinions from other people that aren't added are also welcome.
