Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!
Having done at least 500 noisy laps around my living room on Wednesday, this pesky house fly suddenly experienced catastrophic engine failure, and plummeted to the carpet! Having been quite irritated by its constant buzzing earlier, I now felt a bit sorry for it, so picked it up and placed it on the table. It was quite lethargic and stayed put for this long exposure (1.3 seconds!), before I popped it in a safe place outside.
I took this image with my MP-E 65mm lens, at around 1x magnification, f/14. It's only had a slight crop.
Shot on Minolta X-700 with an MD Rokkor f/3.5 35-70mm Zoom lens, along with a half-motion filter by Spketreme.

Intentional light leaks.

Best shot of the engine I could take from this side of the wreckage. An exhaust pipe can be seen heading up - either through a borehole or crack in the rock.
Engine braking... driving down a long and steep slope with the gears in low ratios to slow the descent. In manual drive, that would be 2nd and 3rd gear. In auto drive, that's D2 or D3. If you keep stepping on the brakes, the pads and discs are going to be totally toasted!
This photo was taken at dusk on a descent from more than 4,000 feet. The blue colour is the product of imagination!

This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.
Another engine plate at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Not originally a steam railway, it was used to transport sand from the local quarry. When closed, enthusiasts re-opened with engines bought or donated to the railway from all over the world.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railroad locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, it moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete as demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.
On steam there's a program called Wallpaper engine and you can have animated wallpapers. This is one that I have uploaded to the workshop now and it's also set on my desktop.

Sneaking inside a long-abandoned factory in Northern Italy.
Ex Garzificio Sanitaria Ceschina (vedi tutte le foto)
The factory was built in 1907 and had great success during the two world wars, when it mainly produced medical goods for the Italian Army. The infamous "guncotton" (aka nitrocellulose), a highly flammable material used for assembling bombs and explosives, was also produced here. As of now, the badly decayed buildings have been abandoned for many decades.

La fabbrica è stata costruita nel 1907 ed ebbe grande successo durante le due guerre mondiali, quando la produzione consisteva principalmente in materiale medico per l'esercito italiano. Anche il famigerato "fulmicotone" (alias nitrocellulosa), materiale altamente infiammabile utilizzato per bombe ed esplosivi, era prodotto in questo luogo. Ad oggi gli edifici pericolanti risultano abbandonati da svariati decenni.
The other day, I decided to return to the basics of what rekindled my love of photography... The Engine Bridge. I have shot this bridge from almost every conceivable angle... This is one of a few images that got me interested in playing with the angles of the bridge once again.
In theory I don't usually bother with light engine moves but never came across a 92 on HS1 during my previous visits so I thought it was worth a go. I didn't realise at the time that the following Monday was the last day of freight on HS1 with the recent contract with presuming Transfesa coming to an end. So the chances of a DB 92 north of Dollands Moor now are really slim. So for the record which I'm glad I made the effort now, sees 92029 working the 0L22 1606 Dollands Moor sidings - Ripple Lane sidings. Funny enough the 92 ended up failing at Singlewell loop, meaning the southbound freight didn't run that evening. Shame they don't seem to be any hope of further freight traffic along here. 19/7/24.
Hope you enjoy my recent shot. please if you have time leave a small comment. like to hear all your feedback. Thanks for stopping by.
BTW ... New FLICKR layout..or more like old layout with improvements. Finally!
