My 4 years old brother gives me idea to make pliers. When I customing my figures, my brother saw the BrickArms bipod, and said "It's pliers". I explained him there isn't pliers, there is bipod. After that I want make german engineer, and I use my brothers design, so here it is.
Engineer (Young) Will Lovelace calls for permission through a work authority on the Philly Sub from the cab of Q032. Will's dad was an Erie, and later NJT conductor. Will was the first CSX-era hire on the former RF&P out of Richmond.
When I was occasionally cut back to conductor, I would go to the UPS train pool to work with the top-dog engineers; John Stone, Jim Stevens, and Will Lovelace. All great to work with.
Mr. Lovelace retired in late 2021.
At 13.30 on 23rd November 1983, 20030 passes southbound through York on an engineers ballast train. 20061 was also seen on one of these workings on this date. Both locomotives had been stored at Swindon, but were resuscitated in the summer of 1983 and allocated to Tinsley. 20030 went to the scrapman in 1991.

Great location for this superb lighthouse and its adjoining buildings - it was designed by engineer Robert Stevenson. This was taken on a bitterly cold, very windy March day.
A Saturday in the Warrington area. Red Bank for 66754 and 66760 on 1Z24. Got done by cloud. 66155 followed it and of course that was in full sun! Then a move to Winwick for the rest of the day. 66620 came on an engineers train, 56087 came light from Carnforth - Carnforth which terminated at Crewe. There was a 5Z07 Crewe Gresty Bridge - Kingmoor. Expected 68001. Came with 66429! Anyway, here is 66620 working the 11:42 Euxton Jn - Crewe Basford Hall past Winwick 30/7/16
As he was arriving at the station, Eric gives me a huge wave and smile. It's nice to catch him at the throttle doing what he does best. He's a great friend, mentor, and overall nice guy that loves what he does. Ottumwa, IA 2/2/2016.

The Road train from Mullins meets a work train with new rail to deliver to the section between Chadbourn and Whiteville, NC.
The former Georgia-Pacific Paper mill outside of Whiteville is coming back online, however with a different purpose: to build, rebuild, and repair railcars. As a result the line is getting new ties and rails.
As this photo was being taken, the engineer on the road train was bringing it to a stop and boarding the work train in order to bring the locomotive in for servicing that night.

Bangalore is undisputedly the software hub for the IT industry from where India churns out billions of dollars worth of backend work for corporations located abroad. It is a thriving metropolis gone to seed already. The infrastructure just can not cope up.
Flickr is dotted with a rather large number of software and allied engineers who work in Bangalore. This post is to them and their lives.
On the Bangalore Mysore highway, about 50 kms out is a place called Ramadevaraya which is a hill rising up on the right hand side of the road. This is just before the town of Ramanagaram.
A small narrow road snakes up passing the ubiquitous schools of higher professional learning that come up at the oddest of places in India as commercial education mongers / monsters set up their shops anywhere and everywhere they can find a place. So once you have passed the College of Pharmacy and climbed up a smaller hill you come to a small meadow with a lake and barred gates of red blue and white set up by the temple organisers. The stairs about 300 of them leading up to the temple repeat the same color scheme of blue red and white.
There were children raising up a merry din and you could hear that from afar. I thought there was a school group out on a jaunt but there were only 6 of them from the village nearby and it looked that the local schools and colleges would never see these young ones in their classrooms anytime soon. The merry bunch was blissfully unaware of attending a school and what education could or could not give them.
Portrayed here is Sita with a flawless dark skin and she sports a fearless red bindi and possesses an elegant jaw line, high cheekbones and collagen full luscious lips and an inborn grace and poise that was amazing to see and remember the lack of it in the so called professional models that one tends to bump into ever so often. No tutoring what so ever was required. She is a born natural.
This was shot in May 2010 and Poonam Parihar, a fellow Flickr and a software person was also there along with Pooja Prabhu from the LSE, In fact you can find more details of the trip on Poonam's blog.
Poonam says she lost all her footage from the shoot due to a wrong press of a button. I hope the software guys and girls do not delete / format this nation.
This then is as much from her as from me.

TOPS Code : ZCA.
CCE Code : SEA URCHIN.
Lot No. : 3908.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
In an effort to eliminate vacuum braked and unfitted engineers stock in the early 1990's BR set about converting surplus 41ton GLW opens and vans into a new fleet of engineers Ballast/Spoil wagons. There were two distinct fleets called 'Seahare' and 'Sea Urchin' the later batch were by far the largest encompassing former OBA open wagons and numerous Van types. The conversions were undertaken at various BR wagon shops resulting in several body types. The vehicle seen here was originally a VDA 41t Box Van. EWS inherited this fleet on privatisation but the low capacity and aging underframes has resulted in the 'Seahare' fleet becoming extinct and what few 'Sea Urchins' still exist are mostly stored waiting disposal.

The Austin Healey Sprite was produced 1958-71, and announced to the press in Monte Carlo, May 1958 after the Frand Prix. Intended as a low cost sports car for the enthusiast and spiritual successor to the sporting Austin Sevens. When the Mk. II Sprite was introduced in 1961 it was joined by a badge-engineered MG version, the Midget, reviving a model name used by MG from the late 1920s through to the mid 1950s. Enthusiasts often refer to these later Sprites and Midgets collectively as "Spridgets."
The Mark IV version was presented at the 1966 Earls Court Motorshow. With its BMC A Series engine upgraded from 1098cc to 1275cc in a lower state of tune than the same capacity engine in the Mini Cooper S. There were several cosmetic cxhanges most noteable change being a fixed soft top rather the previous incarnation which when lowered was removed and stowed in the boot, reclining seats, separate brake and clutch master cylinders were fitted,. From 1969 reversing lights became standard and the electrical system switched from positive to negative earth powered by an alternator rather than a dynamo. In 1970 a further cosmetic facelift unified the appearances on the Midget and Sprite leaving the only different badges.
Engine is basically the same as a mini Cooper, though set longitudinally and detuned to65bhp. The first Sprite with a permanently attached hood, Slightly faster than the 1098cc Mk.III with similar acceleration figures.

The Royal Military Canal is a canal running for 28 miles (45 km) between Seabrook near Folkestone and Cliff End near Hastings, following the old cliff line bordering Romney Marsh, which was constructed as a defence against the possible invasion of England during the Napoleonic Wars.
The canal was conceived by Lieutenant-Colonel John Brown of the Royal Staff Corps of field engineers in 1804, during anti-invasion preparations, as a defensible barrier to ensure that a French force could not use the Romney Marsh as a bridgehead. It had previously been assumed that the marsh could be inundated in the event of an invasion, but Brown argued that this would take ten days to implement and would cause massive disruption in the event of a false alarm. At a meeting on 26 September 1804, the Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces, the Duke of York, both enthusiastically endorsed the scheme. John Rennie was appointed consultant engineer, and Pitt personally persuaded the local landowners to agree to the new canal.
Construction was started at Seabrook, near Hythe in Kent on 30 October 1804. By May 1805 only six miles of the canal had been completed; William Pitt intervened and the contractors and Rennie were dismissed. The work was resumed by the Quartermaster-General’s department with Lt-Col. Brown in command. Civilian navvies dug the canal itself, while soldiers built the ramparts; up to 1,500 men were employed in the project.[1] It was constructed in two sections: the longer section starts at Hythe and ends at Iden Lock in East Sussex; the second, smaller section, runs from the foot of Winchelsea Hill to Cliff End. The two sections are linked by the River Rother (Eastern) and River Brede. Artillery batteries were generally located every 500 yards (460 m), where the canal was staggered to create a salient, allowing the guns to enfilade the next stretch of water. A military road was built on the inland side of the canal, and crossings consisted of moveable wooden bridges.[2] Any troops stationed or moving along the military road would have been protected by the earthen bank of the parapet, which was piled up with excavated soil. The canal was completed in April 1809 at a total cost of £234,000;[3] it was hoped that tolls for use of the waterway and road would help to defray the cost. In addition to these works, a number of Martello towers were built to protect the vulnerable sluices that controlled the water level in the canal, being towers numbers 22 to 27 and 30, three of which are still standing
A view northwards taken from between the platforms at Oberoderwitz in July 1993. The original line to Löbau is visible at the extreme right, with the later route towards Ebersbach out of view behind the building to the left. The engineers’ vehicle is traversing the single line connection between the two routes.
Cpl. David Merrifield, assigned to 8th Engineer Support Battalion, puts the finishing touches on an obstacle course the U.S. Marines built at Price Barracks in Belize June 30, 2014. The Marines are in Belize as part of Southern Partnership Station 2014. Southern Partnership Station 2014 is a U.S. Navy and Marine Corps deployment focused on subject matter expert exchanges with partner nation militaries and security forces in Central and South America and the Caribbean. U.S. military teams work with partner nation forces during naval maritime-focused training exercises, military-to-military engagements and community relations projects in an effort to enhance partnerships with regional maritime activities and improve the operational readiness of participants.
