Bagnall 0-6-0 No.2740 built in 1944 is seen at Ackton Hall Colliery,Featherstone on 15th April 1969. It carried the NCB no.143.
No.2740 was built by Bagnall in 1944 and arrived at Ackton Hall Colliery between September 1965 and May 1966, it would remain at Ackton Hall for the remainder of its career and would be scrapped on site by Wakefield Metal Traders Ltd in July 1976.
In this image 2740 is pictured i n the headshunt which crossed Station Lane via an overbridge, running on the north side of the Wakefield-Goole line which crossed the same road via a level crossing. This headshunt featured a considerable gradient, some of which is evident in this image as 2740 is seen with a rake of HAA hoppers, which would access the screens before working back down to the sidings for a BR loco to take the rake onwards.
Ackton Hall Colliery was located on the north side of the Wakefield-Goole line, on the north west edge of Featherstone, with connections facing in both directions onto the aforementioned line. An interesting feature of the steam fleet kept at Ackton Hall was that they would frequently travel on BR metals, albeit only for a few hundred yards, this was so that they could carry out work at Snydale. Ackton Hall would remain open until 1985 and demolition would take place in the two years following.
My day spent time with the crew on this day as is evidenced by this set of images.

Experimental Color gradients generated using cosine waves for Red, Green and Blue color components.
Parameters for cosine wave Offset, Amplitude, Frequency and Phase have been animated for every RGB component.

dustycat tiger asking how I made that kind gradient backgrounds and this reason why I made this tutorial. I hope this help others too.
Inspired by the "Striped" photo I posted at the beginning of the year I decided I would cap off the year with a similar photo. Happy New Year!
Standing just before the crest of the hill at Bricker Rd. on CN's Flint Subdivision presents a golden dawn.
I've been very busy with work lately. I started a new web design agency, theDesk.se (www.thedesk.se) and got work straight away!
But in the end, Flickr is still important to me and I thought I'd share this snap of late Autumn in Stockholm.
It's normal practice to ease a gradient through a station (usually to level), so that trains are easier to control when braking for the stop. Historically, train braking was not so reliable that it could not be guaranteed that they would not roll away at stations with gradients. However, it's not always the case, and here, at Box Hill and Westhumble in Surrey, the grade actually increases through the station, from 1 in 300 to 1 in 237.
Extra credit: I did this picture as a gradient, because i loved the motion of the trees and wanted to use this picture, plus get extra credit :p
I think it looks awesome, both the original and with the rainbow gradient.
