'32 Ford Coupe | Need For Speed 2015
Im not going to lie... 7282 is hands down my favorite loco - she is an absolute rocket-ship!
Sure... the EF class electrics are nothing short of superb, and yes, I have many fond memories yahooing milk trains through the Taranaki badlands with our GE C30-7 varients on the point... but nothing hits quite like sending 7282 full cry through the suburbs at max line speed while doing my best to keep scheduled time!
I have had the pleasure of driving 7282 all week this week hauling the Palmerston North to Wellington regional passenger train, the "Capital Connection", and she has performed flawlessly.
7282 is also the same loco that I spent 99% of my time driving while training for my passenger certification, and is the same loco that I completed my passenger ticket "sign off" runs in, so there is also a certain level of sentiment there too..
We have several DFB class locos in our region, but IMHO - 7282 is unquestionably the best of the fleet!
I wont bore you all with the details of how good she rides, how responsive her throttle is or how well her brake gear reacts - you will just have to trust me on that...
My hotrod...
Today's story and sketch "by me", started this morning the usual way enjoying a cup of coffee sitting at my drawing table in the Man Cave looking at the overnight intergalactic faxes, when I noticed a Bolo Alert "be on the lookout" addressed most urgent to JB the greatest bounty hunter in the Cosmos, an Rescue Randy the most interesting living tissue crash test dummy in the galaxy, and the number one expert on identifying the many hundreds of varieties of Beaked Beings from the Aves Constellation. This morning's Bolo was for Ace and Slim, two Tropicinian Beaked Beings from the Planet Phatondi who hijacked a intergalactic freighter full of Moon Pies on route to "WHI1", Worm Hole Interchange One" the largest Space Portal and food court in this part of the Cosmos. The Tropicinian hijackers were just spotted in Pasadena California where they have opened a moon pie take away on Foothill boulevard. And sure enough the two Greb tourists that spotted Ace called the hijacker reward hot line and are talking to them, just as you see JB'S chopper and Randy's glider arriving to arrest them, pay the tourists Five thousand dollars and as a bonus Randy will give them the thirty nine Ford coupe to take back to Podicipidi their home Planet, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog.

A view of a 1941 Willys Coupe hot rod.
The car itself was a baby-blue color. Given the vintage of the subject, I wanted to do something in monochrome. However, I gave it a light blue tone in honor of its original color.
This photo is part of my effort to effectively use wide angle lenses. I'm still learning that aspect of photography.

The hose that is connedted to the engine is not original LEGO, but I like it's color. ;)
Hope you like it ;)
