But No Replacement Bus Service !!
During the week I was in Scarborough , the Central Cliff Lift ( Tramway ) was closed because of work on the tracks .
Regrettably I had to walk up the adjacent stairs . It took me over 15 minutes , and two squirts of my Angina spray .
Scarborough , North Yorkshire .
Thursday lunchtime 07th-November-2024.
Well, it's been a busy month - apologies again for a lack of uploads lately! I took a trip to Manchester at the weekend, with a nice mixture of travelling and photographing - enjoy!
First off, and some tram services were replaced by buses owing to the ongoing engineering works around Victoria. I was under the impression it was wholly older Enviro400's being used on tram replacement services, so I got a very big surprise when I walked off of the stop at Crumpsall and found Enviro400MMC 10415 sat on Crumpsall Lane, waiting time before departing to Piccadilly Station.
Manchester have recently taken delivery of a number of these new vehicles, which are the first to enter service within Stagecoach UK Bus. Hopefully you'll forgive me for only photographing two during my time there - I didn't want to spend too much time on one thing!
It was completely full from front to back, top to bottom on departure!
The new Engineering 5 building on campus. Taken at a UW Photo Club meeting.
Velvia 100, 4x5 processed at home. No post-processing at all - just as scanned.
Taken with a Schneider 90mm, f/8
It was hard to decide which to enter the contest with, but I went with this shot instead.
Was lucky enough to visit the McLaren showroom for a second time! Lovely red spider was the feature car!

Engineering work taking place from 31st January to 3rd February 2023 closed the line between Malton and Scarborough. Freightliner class 66/5 no. 66514 passes Copmanthorpe on 1st February 2023 heading 6Y22, a ballast working from Doncaster Belmont yard to Malton. Sister loco no. 66501 was on the rear of the train.
When its too cold for me out there with a camera I spend time in my nice warm workshop doing stuff like this. The model is to 1/6 scale and based on a machine I have. Model length 6 inches. Materials used are true to the origional.

Taken at about 5.15pm, this is actually a sunset. Once again D80 in my backpack proves worthy. I was going to attend a lecture, when I simulated this composition in my mind and couldn't resist taking this shot.
* Looks superb in black background.
THANK YOU for the appreciation, this picture got into Flickr Interestingness on March 2, 2007 :)
37609 has been detached from the head of the train (6X23, the 0625 Sellafield – Barrow Marine Terminal) and run into the spur to allow the tail locomotive (37218) to propel the flask train into the Barrow Marine terminal.
This picture - taken on 6 October 2016 - offers a good opportunity to marvel at the beautiful engineering on display, particularly the graceful curves of the W H Davis built KXA-C wagon, both longitudinally and in its cross sections. One can see that the wagon has a narrow bed (broadened only in the centre to support the flask) allowing it to meet the network loading gauge despite its length. It has a tare weight of 53.5t and is capable of carrying a 126.5t payload, (I make that 180t gross without the use of a calculator!) and its eight axles maintain the 22.5t axle loading.
Mounted on the wagon is a Castor HAW 28M type flask weighing in around 102te (116t fully loaded) though its shock absorbers and frame would increase the payload almost to the the maximum 126.5te.
We built some great piers, the Germans built some great cars..

These pictures were taken with my brand new Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 wide angle lens and I was just having some fun. The location for these pics is the University of Illinois, particularly the Main and Engineering Quad.

Some photos while waiting around on set filming this week. Took up the opportunity to play with my Sony RX100 M3. Very pleased with this little camera. I also had my Canon 7D with me and the Sony holds up very well when comparing similar images taken with each camera.

This is part of the Department of Engineering at the local University. Cambridge is full of these grand old scholarly buildings and has its share of modern glass/metal buildings too, but nestled between them is this part of the engineering department from a time between. Presumably from a time when researching engineering meant big heavy machines - alas my little bit of research failed to turn up a construction date, just that it was named after a significant former head of the department.
I like this photo as the building is somewhat lost in context with its older or shinier siblings. Here, in isolation, you get to see it has a beauty of its own with the strong lines and geometry. Also, despite presumably getting on for a century (if not already) it looks remarkably clean and well kept for a building of this style.
Update: Turns out that, thanks to my partner who is an alumni of the Department of Engineering, we have a copy of "Cambridge Engineering: The First 150 years" by Haroon Ahmed, from which I learned that the Inglis building was constructed in 1922, making it almost exactly a century old.
On the buildings functional design, apparently Charles Inglis wrote when planning the building that would later be renamed in his honour, because the site was screened from the town side by a row of fancy terrace houses "the new buildings can be simple in character and no money need be uselessly expended in architectural elaboration" - function then did indeed dictate the form.

A few moments after seeing the large trucks loading material by the dockside, I was walking further along and saw this crane doing the same, but this time with a cargo vessel. So again I used the zoom to get a closer pic, then let the video run to capture the crane's claw hand droppping material into the hold.
