Utah Railway engineer Stu Turner eases the RUT311 local into a cut of cars at Becks in Salt Lake City, Utah on March 22, 2012.
These are two fabulous images - the range of cars on view is extraordinary really, and in one image it's clear that Broadmayne Motors were Yugo dealers. The forecourt here survived up to quite recently, its last brand sold was Texaco and by then it was run by Olds who had a few sites in this area including quite a big one in nearby Yeovil.
Working my way through all the amazing different things to notice in this image from right to left, starting with the Land Rover recovery vehicle with Broadmayne Motor Engineers branding and a rounded caravan behind with the same name on it. Tucked in an MGB GT in I think British racing green. Then the Yugos - the red 45 one looks quite stylish, but I'm sure it was horrible to drive, and on the podium, a less attractive looking 45 model. There's a third one in beige at the far end which looks most unattractive! A fourth in a much better Maroon colour is just to its right and a fifth white one in between. I think the white small van is also a Yugo, must have been very rare - and crap!
In the background I see a Capri, and possibly a Jaguar/Daimler in white. It's a really amazing mix of fine old classic cars and Yugos.
Luckily I did manage to pass through here in 2018 and capture the abandoned site just before its demolition, photo added below. It's all gone now and modern housing has replaced it.
An article here from the Dorset Echo in 2015 tells the story of the garage closure.

On the last flight of Concorde, when the flight was at full speed that little gap expands to be able to put your whole fist in. The Flight engineer stuck his hat in there before they were landing and it is stuck there forever more.
On a mild early spring afternoon Amtrak GE P42DC number 97 leads on time train number 54 (the northbound Vermonter to St. Albans, VT from Washington, D.C.) across the historic stone arch bridge over the Fall River on modern day Berkshire and Eastern Railroad's (ex Pan Am) Conn River mainline which is now owned by the state of Massachusetts.
This 4-arch span at Milepost 42.81 (measuredcfrom Springfield) on the former Boston and Maine Railroad Conn River mainline was designed and built in 1846 by none other than Theodore Judah who later became Chief Engineer of the Sacramento Valley Railroad and the greatest proponent of the Transcontinental Railroad. He personally lobbied Abraham Lincoln for the passage of the Pacific Railroad Act and brought together the 'Big Four' to found the Central Pacific Railroad. As Chief Engineer of the CPRR he surveyed the route along which it would be ultimately built, but he died in 1863 not living to see his dream become a reality more than 150 years ago in 1869.
As for the railroad itself, it was once a major north south heavy duty mainline until it fell out of favor as a thru route by B&M successor Guilford Transportation, and for most of my lifetime was little more than a 10 mph secondary the domain of short locals headed to the few remaining customers north to White River Junction.
From 1972 to 1987 Amtrak's Montrealer traversed this route until discontinued due to poor track conditions and shifted to an all Central Vermont routing from New London leaving this stretch of the Conn River main devoid of passenger trains until 2014. On August 20 of that year, the state finalized a $17 million deal to purchase the line from Pan Am, successor to the B&M and Guilford.
The subsequent rebuilding of the route (including this bridge) to modern passenger train standards with a combination of federal and state money led to the return of Amtrak's Vermonter to the line, dubbed by the state as the 'Knowledge Corridor' in December 2014 with new stops added at Holyoke, Northampton, and Greenfield.
Wanting to capitalize on their investment, in February 2016, Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack said that MassDOT was looking at starting a pilot commuter service as early as 2017. In June 2018, Governor Charlie Baker announced that two Amtrak New Haven to Springfield shuttle round trips would be extended to Greenfield in 2019 as a pilot program. The service began August 31, 2019 operated under the Valley Flyer moniker. It was operated on a trial basis through fall 2021 with a goal of 24,000 riders a year which has been met, and consequently the state just announced that the trains will be permanent. Alas, they travel no further than Greenfield, so for now this train and its northbound counterpart are the only daily passenger trains that cross this magnificent historic structure.

Construction date: 1905
The site of today’s Victoria Park Markets was once the central refuse collection area for Auckland City. Disposal of refuse was a pungent city issue throughout the latter part of the 19th century. In the 1870s collection was contracted out and dumping occurred ‘out of the sight and smell of citizens’. In the 1890s however, citizens were required to dispose of their own rubbish and vacant allotments became convenient, informal tips. Fear of the bubonic plague in 1900 prompted the council to consider a municipal refuse destruction plant and in 1904 a tender of £16,840 was accepted from J Barre Johnston Ltd of Sydney for the construction of a Meldrum destructor, completed in 1905.
The complex of polychromatic brick construction included the council’s Works’ Depot, blacksmith’s and carpenter’s shops, stables and a 38m high chimney. Alfred Wrigg (City Engineer from 1899 to 1906) probably supervised construction. He was also responsible for supervising the Auckland electric trams and for paving Queen Street with asphalt.
The capacity of the destructor was increased during the 1920s and 1930s, but by 1960, as controlled dumping grew in popularity, it was disposing of a mere 10% of the city’s rubbish. The plant was closed in 1972 and it was subsequently converted into the Victoria Park Markets.
As Auckland grew, so did its requirement for electricity. The council was vested with the public supply of electricity by the Auckland City Electric Lighting Act 1900 and an Australian engineer, W T G Goodman, was employed to report on the feasibility of using the destructor to generate electricity in 1906. His proposals were accepted, although he criticised the council for failing to incorporate a generating plant in the original design, despite a series of earlier reports endorsing the potential of electricity.
The electrical contract was won by Turnbull & Jones for £11,808. The cost subsequently escalated with revisions in potential demand and the provision of additional boilers and new feeders. In 1908, electricity was provided to the first 12 customers. Within four months demand exceeded supply and coal was used to supplement the burning of rubbish. It was replaced in 1913 by the Kings Wharf coal fired power station, again built by the council.

The engineer on this eastbound oil train is offering up a peace sign for the shot as the train rolls slowly out of the east end of Eisele (Clay). Just ahead, the train will wrap around Big Ten Curve and head down to Rocky, continuing east toward Denver. UP 6737 started life in December 1994 as CNW 8837!

So I've had this one done for awhile. It's like a mashup of the BF3 and BF4 engineer class. I'll have a separate picture of his gun as well. Inspirations will be added. Comments and Criticism are welcome. Kthxbai

Collioure is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France
There is a record of the castle at "Castrum Caucoliberi" having been mentioned as early as 673, indicating that the settlement here was of strategic and commercial importance during the Visigoth ascendancy.
Collioure was taken in 1642 by the French troops of Maréchal de la Meilleraye. A decade later, the town was officially surrendered to France by the 1659 Treaty of Pyrenees. Because of its highly strategic importance, the town's fortifications, the Château Royal de Collioure and the Fort Saint-Elme stronghold, were improved by the military engineer Vauban during the reign of Louis XIV. Nevertheless, Collioure was besieged and occupied by the Spanish troops in 1793, marking the last Spanish attempt to take the city. The blockade was broken a year later by general Jacques François Dugommier.
I have shown pictures of this little lighthouse before this is Chanonry Point Lighthouse and it was designed and engineered by Alan Stevenson, 1846. This marvellous lighthouse is situated on the Moray Firth at the narrows between Chanonry Point and Fort George. The light was first exhibited on 15th May 1846 the light is now automatic. This is one of the best places to see dolphins but the day I visited I never saw any.

59004"P A Hammond" passes Shrivenham on 28/Jan/2006 with 6W12 10.43 Westbury to Swindon engineers,routed via Newbury.
66748 West Burton 50 runs alongside the river at Ely, working 6T76 04.12 Broxbourne Jn. - Whitemoor Yard LDC. This had run via Temple Mills to reverse, and 66713 Forest City is on the rear. [Pole, 6/6 sections (~8m)]
This was the Monday morning in the middle of a two-week possession of the Hertford East branch, for platform extension work (prior to the introduction of pairs of five-car class 720 EMUs, which are about the same length as a twelve-car 317 or 379) and track relaying. 6T76 was the second engineers' train to go back to Whitemoor this morning, and I phototraphed all except the first.
As it was a still morning, I tried using the pole at full height (the railway is slightly elevated). It's true that practice makes perfect - I'm getting better at holding it still, even if there is a very gentle breeze.

here they are! my WWII mechanics. I did the same style photo as my WWII tank crew figs. mainly because I like the style haha.
Photography skillz sux, i know.
OMFG. FINALLY DONE. I planned to give him an AKS but ended up with a PP-2000 because my Ak shipment went missing XD
The partizan is, supposed to break the stereotypical Dark green base , which is the Gorka Summer Uniform, this ( brown base) is the Gorka Autumn Uniform, which appears in-game as Premium Camo 1. The vest is supposed to be the M37 Tarzan with some AR mags and utility pouches thrown on them! ( Totally from Jon)
The gloves are sculpted to look like what I get when I search "RUSSIAN MILITARY GLOVES" on google images XD.
The gasmask, vest, pouches and boots are completely sculpted, but the light makes the gas mask looks like shit, but it looks 10 times better irl.
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially 2 weeks of hard work. Especially the C4s which you can see on the left.
Thanks to Joel and Jon for the advice!
And I won't be uploading as frequently nowadays as I don't really have time to work on customs cuz it's my streaming year, exams bruh,
And note: Moar ppl will be tagged in this pic because I really want advice on the camo before I move on to other RU classes!
-Enjoy! And holeh moleh. 6 moar followers to 300?

The engineers (yes the conductor is a qualified engineer) on Amtrak 207 give *very* enthusiastic waves from the cab as they begin the assault up Raton Pass.
66014 "EMD Longport" passes Worting Junction on 19/Sept/25 with the evening 6Y42 14.14 Hoo Junction to Eastleigh Engineers.
Engineer Pass is a beautiful drive. The first 7 miles on the Ouray side is really rough. This is where he gets easy. This is highway driving in the mountains. This is unusual for the road to be this wide, but it's a nice relaxing drive.
An easier way to get to the to the top of Engineer Pass is to go to Animas forks and take the North Cutoff road that bypasses the rougher sections of Engineer.
