Just a little headsup to those of you who couldn't make it to L-Doll. I recently had a wonderful chance to work with the lovely Mishi's Doll ( www.facebook.com/mishisdoll/) and made some wigs for their full set dolls. They are absolutely precious little sculpts in person so I highly recommend going to have a peek over on their FB as there are a limited few available. There are also just a couple of blank dolls left as well.
73119 "Battle of Britain 80th Anniversary" & 201 "Broadlands" - 6E59 (0631 WFO "Q" from Tonbridge West Yard to Peterborough North Yard, which was formed of 15 empty IKA twin wagons) - Bayford - 1043 (77 minutes late, after a 95 minutes late start) - 27/05/26.
Not surprisingly trying to run a pair of Electro Diesel locomotives, using their 650hp diesel engines on a warm day didn't go well & the train expired at Stevenage, eventually reaching Peterborough 228 minutes late, after being rescued by the Colas "Thunderbirds" 67023 & 67027.
Many thanks to Ian at Denmark Hill for the headsup on this working (nice to get some gen & not requests for wagon numbers on Se-Gen).
This is the closest call I have ever seen in eight years of rocketry.
When the yellow two-stage rocket was coming in ballistic, the LCO announcer sounded out the “heads up” alarm across the playa. The fellow on the right was biking on the playa behind the flight line and slowed down to look up, and by an incredible stroke of freak alignment, the rocket struck the exposed portion of his rear wheel, as he was biking!
He described it as a silent event; he was perplexed to feel himself leaning backward as the rear end of the bike collapsed.
It was a borrowed bike, but wow, what a souvenir!
(P.S. and lest anyone conclude that this is a dangerous activity, please keep in mind that it’s much safer than golf =)
United's Continental retro 737-900 is on final into O'Hare. Thanks to Steve Bauer for the headsup and the tracking of this guy.

This was going to be a play on light with some added colour but i pressed the colorize button instead of preview and this was the result, it was quite a coincidence the light was in the right place to look like an old glossy photograph! Wish it wasn't so grainy but hey ho, im too tired to take it again. Unfortunitely i had to cancel this saturdays meetup due to a variety of factors, (long story) but i plan on rescheduling it as it would be cool to meet up with the girls and guys of flickr! Ill keep you posted, and a headsup im away again this weekend so i may not upload until monday! Don't worry im not going anywhere!
37884 & 56098 (0Z37) Leicester L.I.P. to St Philips Mrsh H S T D light engine movement is seen approaching Pirton Road crossing, caught this thanks to me old mate VillaDeano who gave me the headsup that it was running over three hours early...
When they come in hot, you hear the sonic boom after it hits.
I spent much of this weekend tracking incoming rockets or pieces of rockets. Most common cause of lawn dart failures is a lack of chute deployment at apogee. Second most: fin shreds at Mach 1 or 2, which are spectacular to witness. Lastly, the unstable multi-stage pinwheels in the sky are the scariest, as they might ignite the second stage while the nose is pointing down, with the rocket screaming back at you under full thrust. I have done that at home, and it takes the cake for raising the pulse rate.
I saw a high power 2 stage rocket do such a pinwheel loop, but end up point straight up when the 2nd stage ignited. The cheers on the video are a real treat.

NET 204 passes over the viaduct at Middle Hill on the last day this viewpoint was available, from the top of the doomed Broadmarsh car park. Many thanks to Jason Cross for the headsup on the impending closure.. Taken with a pole to get the running gear clear of the fence.
66784 "Keighley & Worth Valley Railway" t&t 776 "Joanne" - 6T72 (1700 TO STP Whitemoor Yd LDC - Rye House, which was formed of 30 Coalfish loaded with new ballast) - Hertford East (in possession & opposite the site of the site of the old signalbox) - c1030 - 12/04/22.
At the time of the photo, the train was being un-loaded by two road-rail diggers & this photo was possible without a pole, as the recently created pile (of ballast) had damaged the fence!
Thanks Darren for the headsup on this working.

...is what I was thinking as I stood there and snapped this shot. This is from Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Bahamas. I made it to this area before anyone, so I kind of had this whole area to myself. Pictured in the background is the bar - Heads Up.

A39-005 (Royal Australian Air Force KC-30A / Airbus A330-203 MRTT) - Flight ASY484 from Charleston (USA) to London Stansted - Great Hallingbury - 1308 - 08/04/23.
Thanks Bill for the headsup on this flight, which was more accurate than FR24.
Shame ACT's "Jumbo" (ER-BAJ) arrived at 0755, as I could have done a third consecutive trip to the Airport, if it had been 4 hours later & the mist / fog / low cloud cleared!
66762 (GBRF) "t&t" 104 (DBC).
6L37 : 0954 Hoo Jn Up Yd - Whitemoor Up Yd (1e MLA).
Bayford - 1316 - 20/12/19.
Thanks to Ian at the "Hill" for the headsup on this working. I assume the MLA had defective brakes, which is why it has "Sheds" on both sides (104 for brakeforce), but why it wasn't marshalled in another 6L37 earlier this week, rather than run it on it's own, is anybodies guess!
Nice to see 387101 being used instead of the Royal Train, to convey the Queen from London Kings Cross to Kings Lynn today!
I really enjoyed this challenge and creating this mosiac (thank you for the headsup everyone :) )

With Mississippi River Flooding happening again, the NS Springfield-Hannibal District was flooded out at Hannibal. That forces all through traffic to run via St. Louis and the TRRA Merchants Bridge - including the two remaining Triple Crown Roadrailer trains. 255 & 256 still run 6 days a week between Detroit and KC and are still neat to see in my book.
I'd seen a headsup that 255 was rolling through Litchfield, IL and 256 was by Clark, MO. As the Mrs had to go to work, it was time to go trackside for a couple o hours. The TRRA was choking on detour traffic from both NS and BNSF and the SH / WR corridor was the place to be to watch everything creep by. 256 is shown slowly turning the corner at East SH and was crossing over in the background. Headlight is on dim as a BNSF Machens coal load was coming the other way. Both 256 and the BNSF train needed to get as close to the signals as they could as they were both nearly too long to fit between West SH and WR Tower to clear each other! That was a LOT of roadrailers!

Thanks to my buddy Vic for the headsup re. the lightning apparently concentrated on the trailing edge of last night's storm, and well North of home. I don't know that the road trip was worth only a single "keeper" (maybe getting spoiled), but at least there's something to show for the effort.
Comments and feedback welcome.
Air India 787-8 Dreamliner on short final at O'Hare. First time I've ever seen on of these. Thanks Roger for the Headsup!
German postcard by Ross Verlag in the Luxus series, no. 540. Photo: Paramount. Charles Rogers in Heads Up (Victor Schertzinger, 1930).
Charles 'Buddy' Rogers (1904-1999) was an American film actor and musician. During the peak of his popularity in the late 1920s and early 1930s, he was publicised as "America's Boy Friend". Rogers starred in such films as Wings (1927) and My Best Girl (1927), opposite his later wife Mary Pickford. He also found success as a bandleader and a musician.
Charles Edward 'Buddy' Rogers was born in 1904 in Olathe, Kansas, to Maude and Bert Henry Rogers. His father was a newsman who later became a probate judge in Johnson County. Charles He attended Olathe high school and studied at the University of Kansas where he became an active member of Phi Kappa Psi. In the mid-1920s, he trained at the Paramount Picture School and began acting professionally in Hollywood films. His film debut was a starring role in the silent romantic comedy Fascinating Youth (Sam Wood, 1926), along with Thelma Todd and Josephine Dunn in supporting roles. That year, he also appeared in the comedy So's Your Old Man (Gregory La Cava, 1926) starring W. C. Fields and Alice Joyce. Nicknamed "Buddy", his most-remembered film performance was opposite Clara Bow and Gary Cooper in the Oscar-winning war film Wings (William A. Wellman, 1927), the first film ever honored as Best Picture. Hundreds of extras and some 300 pilots were involved in the filming, including pilots and planes of the United States Army Air Corps which were brought in for the filming and to provide assistance and supervision. Wellman extensively rehearsed the scenes for the Battle of Saint-Mihiel over ten days with some 3500 infantrymen on a battlefield made for the production on location. Although the cast and crew had much spare time during the filming because of weather delays, shooting conditions were intense, and Wings took approximately nine months to complete in total. Acclaimed for its technical prowess and realism upon release, the film became the yardstick against which future aviation films were measured, mainly because of its realistic air-combat sequences. According to Wikipedia, Wings was one of the first films to show two men kissing, and also one of the first widely released films to show nudity. In the enlistment office are nude men undergoing physical exams, who can be seen from behind through a door that is opened and closed. Bow's breasts are revealed for a second during the Paris bedroom scene when military police barge in as she is changing her clothes. In the scene in which Rogers becomes drunk, the intoxication displayed on the screen was genuine, as although 22 years of age, he had never tasted liquor before, and quickly became inebriated from drinking champagne. A boom was built with the camera mounted on an extension to shoot the Café de Paris scene. For many years, Wings was considered a lost film until 1992 when a print was found in the Cinémathèque Française film archive in Paris and quickly copied from nitrate film to safety film stock. It was again shown in theaters, including some theaters where the film was accompanied by Wurlitzer pipe organs. In 1997, Wings was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Rogers then appeared in the silent romantic comedy My Best Girl (Sam Taylor, 1927) opposite his future wife Mary Pickford. Charles Rosher received an Academy Award nomination for his cinematography of this film in 1928. He co-starred again with Clara Bow in the romantic comedy Get Your Man (Dorothy Arzner, 1927). His first part-talkie was Abie's Irish Rose (Victor Fleming, 1928) with Nancy Carroll. They co-starred again in the musical Close Harmony (John Cromwell, A. Edward Sutherland, 1929).
Charles 'Buddy' Rogers was a talented trombonist skilled on several other musical instruments. He performed with his own dance band in films and on the radio. He performed in such musicals as the all-star American revue Paramount on Parade (Edmund Gouldin, and ten other directors, 1930), and the British musical Dance Band (Marcel Varnel, 1935). In 1930, he recorded two records for Columbia as a solo singer with a small jazz band accompanying. In 1932, he signed with Victor and recorded four sweet dance band records with a group organized by drummer, and later actor, Jess Kirkpatrick. In 1933–1934 Rogers took over the popular Joe Haymes orchestra, to which he added drummer Gene Krupa. His later bands were organised by Milt Shaw. In 1938, he signed with Vocalion and recorded six swing records. During World War II, he served in the United States Navy as a flight training instructor. After making An Innocent Affair (Lloyd Bacon, 1948), he retired from the screen for nine years, concentrating on television and radio work. His final screen appearance before his retirement from films was in the Western The Parson and the Outlaw (Oliver Drake, 1957). It was produced by Charles 'Buddy' Rogers Productions and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film stars Anthony Dexter as Billy the Kid, along with Buddy Rogers, Sonny Tufts, Marie Windsor, and Jean Parker. In 1960, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was dedicated to Rogers at 6135 Hollywood Blvd, for his contribution to the motion picture industry. In 1986, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Rogers with The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and in 1993, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars was dedicated to him. In 1937, Rogers became the third husband of silent film actress Mary Pickford. Their romance had begun in 1927 when they co-starred in My Best Girl, but they kept it on ice until Pickford's separation and 1936 divorce from Douglas Fairbanks. According to IMDb, he reported that Clark Gable "once told Mary [Mary Pickford] when we got married, that it wouldn't last six months" because he was 11 years younger than her. They remained married for 42 years until Pickford's death in 1979. The couple adopted two children — Roxanne (born 1944, adopted in 1944) and Ronald Charles (born 1937, adopted in 1943). He became estranged from daughter Roxanne when, at age 18, she ran off to marry a man her parents did not approve of. In 1982, Rogers married Beverly Ricono, a well-regarded philanthropist in the Palm Desert area, and the couple remained together till his death. According to Wikipedia, Rogers was reportedly bisexual and had an affair with Gene Raymond who was married to Jeanette MacDonald. IMDb: "Jeanette MacDonald and Gene Raymond were married on June 16, 1937. Nine days later, Mary Pickford and Charles 'Buddy' Rogers were wed. That same night, both couples left aboard the liner Lurline to honeymoon in Honolulu. Their respective cabins were adjacent, and Raymond and Rogers seem to have already been quite well acquainted. According to reliable sources, the two wives found the two grooms commencing a honeymoon of their own." Charles 'Buddy' Rogers died in Rancho Mirage, California, in 1999, at the age of 94 of natural causes, and was interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Cathedral City, near Palm Springs.
