A Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company Guest Engineer enjoys his 90 minutes of "fame" at the throttle of the 20-ton Monson #4.
On this day, the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company & Museum was running it's Guest Engineer Program, in which patrons can purchase a ticket allowing them to run the locomotive under supervision, for an hour and a half.

sorry i haven't uploaded for a while, here are some simple figures i have made. Do you like the background?
i have been playing BF3 and MW3, so they have contributed to the inspiration, but these are mainly inspired by saint zvlkx (or Kalon)
On a cold, sunny March afternoon, I chanced upon an Army Leyland DAF truck on the Lee on Solent slipway (below the Hovercraft Museum). A short wait revealed that it was waiting to recover a Combat Support Boat which had been exercising on the Solent. There was some difficulty with the grab on the launching and recovery trailer and it took several attempts to get the boat on to it. It was fascinating to watch the team of Royal Engineers at work and have an opportunity to see the equipment.
The sapper on the shore is operating the winch as recovery continues.

Neoclassical architectural monument. It was constructed in 1797-1801 (architects V.I. Bazhenov, V. F. Brenna) at the behest of Emperor Pavel I on the location of the demolished wooden Summer Palace of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna. It was named in honour of archangel Michael. The square building with an octagonal inner yard was enclosed with canals (filled over in 1823).
On 1 February 1801, Mikhailovsky Castle became a residence of the Imperial family and remained as such until conspirators assassinated Emperor Pavel I on the night of 12 March 1801.
The Northern facade, facing the Summer Garden, is emphasised with a high attic, an open terrace on paired Doric marble columns and wide granite staircases with bronze statues of Hercules and Flora (copies of antique sculptures).

In the 1820's an engineer's school went in- hence the new name. Obviously the Romanovs wanted nothing more to do with such a grim place.

FEARLESS COALITION BUILDER
Visualizing a roadmap for Washington
For a transportation engineer and planner, Lynn Peterson's path to Washington Secretary of Transportation has been unplanned, forged by her interest in both the engineering and community aspects of transportation systems.
"Transportation is a tool," says Peterson, who earned two master's degrees at Portland State University. "You don't do a project for project's sake; you are working to accomplish an overall community goal."
After earning her Master in Urban and Regional Planning in 1995, Peterson worked in the public sector and as a transportation consultant until she was elected to the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners. In 2008 she earned a second master's degree in civil and environmental engineering and was elected at-large as Clackamas County's first-ever board chairperson. The post set her on a path through the Oregon governor's office and to a top appointment in Washington.
"I have this need to work with communities to problem-solve," she says. "Every community is unique and every solution is unique; there's no one-size-fits-all."
"It's not glamorous," she adds. As a 12-year-old who dreamed of being a civil engineer, she didn't imagine her two proudest accomplishments "would be a mobile home park fairness issue and coming to a consensus on sewer issues in Clackamas County."
With her urban planning education, she doesn't approach issues considering what type of concrete to use, but rather considering the conversations required to find the project that makes sense for stakeholders in a community.
"If a conversation on transportation starts with, 'this is the product we offer,' you will lose people," she says. "I like to start with, 'what outcomes do we need for this community to be successful in accomplishing their goals?'"
Another view of the engineers sidings as class 37s pass by. Its still early days for the layout, just track testing and running locos that I have not had a chance to run for years at the moment. One day I hope to get all the track ballasted and get some buildings and stuff on and a road along the front to put some of my model buses on.

I spent today way down under the earth near Geneva, visiting CERN's big particle detectors (still being built but expecting data in 2008.)
I'm told the engineer in charge of the scaffolding that helps other engineers clamber around building the big ATLAS detector is this woman, said to be from Finland.

Joseph Bell, the Chief Engineer on the RMS Titanic was born in Farlam, near Brampton, Cumbria.
This is the service of commemoration that took place on Sunday 15th April 2012 marking 100 years since the loss
First years and training
Firstborn Son of John Bell, Sr. and Margaret Watson, both agricultural entrepreneurs, Joseph Bell grew up in Farlam, a small village belonging to the Rural District of Brampton, in the county of Cumberland; he had three siblings: Jane (1864), Richard (1865) and John jr. (1868).[1] His mother Margaret died shortly after giving birth to her last child.
Joseph Bell, initially, attended as a child a private elementary school in the village of Farlam and, after the death of his mother, he moved with his father and his brothers to Carlisle, between the districts of Edentown and Stanwix; Joseph and the brothers attended Carlisle's Academy William Harrison. In time, the younger brother John decided to migrate to Australia, embarking on the transatlantic SS Great Britain, while the rest of the family remained in Carlisle.
After leaving Carlisle, Joseph Bell moved to Newcastle, doing apprenticeship as an engine editor at Robert Stephenson and Company.[1] In 1885, Bell was hired by the White Star Line and worked on many ships that traded with New Zealand and the United States. In 1891 he was promoted to chief mechanical engineer.
Sister Jane married William Hugh Lowthian in 1886 and spent many years living in Ripley, Derbyshire, where he was a bank manager. It was probably at this time that Joseph met Maud Bates, whom he married in 1893; the couple had 4 children: Frances John, called Frank (1896), Marjorie Clare (1899), Eileen Maud (1901), and Ralph Douglas (1908).
In 1911, Joseph found lodging in Belfast, along with his wife and younger son. The two daughters remained at Ripley, cared for by both a housekeeper and her uncles (Bell's sister and brother-in-law), while the then fifteen-year-old Frank was studying at the Grosvenor College in Carlisle and later an apprenticeship at the Harland and Wolff shipyards.
On the Titanic
After serving on the Olympic, he transferred to the Titanic, where he was given the post of chief engineer. On the night of April 14, shortly before the Titanic hit an iceberg, Bell received an order from the bridge to either stop or reverse the engines (accounts vary), in an attempt to slow the ship. Despite the crew's best efforts, the Titanic could not avoid the immense block of ice. As the ship began to sink, Bell and the engineers remained in the engine room, urging the stokers and firemen to keep the boilers active, allowing the pumps to continue their work and ensuring the electricity remained on as long as possible. According to legend, Bell and his men worked to keep the lights and the power on in order for distress signals to get out and they all died in the bowels of the Titanic. However, according to the historical record, when it became obvious that nothing more could be done, and the flooding was too severe for the pumps to cope, they all came up onto Titanic's open well deck, but by this time all the lifeboats had already left. Greaser Frederick Scott testified to seeing all the engineers gathered at the aft end of the starboard Boat Deck at the end.[2][3] Bell's body was never recovered.
After Bell's death, the wife and the brother-in-law, William Ralph, inherited the farm of Farlam, of which Joseph had become its full owner since 1904, after his father's death; the farm was immediately sold because both Bell's wife and children never went to Farlam.
At the Church of the Holy Faith in Waterloo, near Liverpool, a plate has been affixed to commemorate Bell; an epitaph was also erected in his memory in the small cemetery of Farlam.

Another reverse-engineering job. This wasn't as easy as it looks-- there are absolutely no references, and the proportions are vital to the success of the model. as you can see from the extra fold lines, I had to redo the head several times.
