A pair of Southern Pacific SD45T-2s in full “Speed Lettering”, muscle a 68-car merchandise train through a tree lined curve east of Springville, Utah the afternoon of Oct. 27, 1996.
A few months ago, I obtained some lovely pieces of vintage and antique haberdashery notions from a contact of mine in Dorset who seems to always find me interesting pieces. Amongst the items that caught my eye were this wonderful Edwardian era Celebrated Elephant Machine Silk spool, lovely needle packet and a selection of cobalt buttons.
Those attached to their original card are hard plastic, but the latticed ones and the other stylised Art Deco one are glass and date from the 1920s. The buttons all matched cobalt blue of the silk on the spool that I had to put them together! The grey and blue marbleised buckle you can see in the background is Bakelite and also dates from the 1920s.
I'm afraid that after a thorough search, the only thing I could establish about "Celebrated Elephant Machine Silk" is that at one time it was produced by Perivale Sewing Silks. They had a number of different elephant lines including Black Label, Red Label (which consisted of two tone spools of thread) and Blue Label. In addition I know they also made coloured thread for fishing lines. The Perivale Sewing Company had a factory in the Perivale Industrial Estate in Perivale, and that it burnt to the ground around 1968 and was replaced by Perivale Gütermann (an amalgam of the Perivale Sewing Company with Gütermann Cottons).

In March of 1991, Southern Pacific introduced a new logo, called "speed lettering", inspired by the stacked Rio Grande logo. It was first applied to a group of rebuilt GP40M-2s by MK in Boise, Idaho. Initially, a smaller version of the logo was applied to SP 7107-7111, later adopting a larger version with SP 7112 on April 15, 1991.
Doug was on hand to catch the first two units with the officially adopted logo leading an EUCHX train through Ogden, Utah.
In total, SP applied speed lettering to 1,035 locomotives including new acquisitions from EMD, GE, rebuilt MK, and Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, and St. Louis Southwestern repaints.
Letters and number found on the box my granddaughter brought along with some activity in it yesterday. Pastel lettering and number.
For Macro Mondays, theme Pastel.
This shot shows the shadow of some peeling lettering on a shop window cast onto a letter L that was part of the window display.

An ex-Pennsy SD-45 leads a westbound freight through Canton for "Flare Friday", with the assistance of a Santa Fe GE and a blue CR EMD. This CR patch job is actually "more" of a PRR patch job than a PC one. While the unit had been patched with complete PC lettering and herald, it still wears it's PRR number, and I'm pretty sure it's also still wearing the PRR Brunswick Green for the most part. That engine is really that not dirty and I noticed numerous ex-PRR units where the Brunswick Green weathered into that brownish olive color that looks like dirt.

Please do not steal my photos. These pictures are here to represent my work as a professional tattoo artist, and most of these designs were drawn specifically for each client.
That said, i cannot email you pictures of my clients' custom work so that you can take it to another artist to have it done. It's not fair to the people who pay to get tattooed by me.
Tattooing is a personal decision, and should you decide to get tattooed, put thought into what you want and find an artist who is willing and able to draw and tattoo exactly what you desire.
Do not leave comments about my clients' bodies ("she's sexy" or "damn, she's fat ",or choice of subject matter. )
Such comments are annoying and will be deleted immediately.
Union Pacific DD35A No. 71 rests between assignments on the ready track in Provo, Utah the morning of May 15, 1977. The 5000 HP double diesel (still wearing its factory applied paint job and lettering) was built by EMD for the UP in April 1965 and retired in August 1981.
from M Parker's library: "look at the rich blacks!" esteemed as the most gorgeously printed book ever (poorly photographed here), from post war Germany. Zapf did all lettering. i've forgotten the punch cutter's name. bad form.
This is the canopy tomb in the chancel to Hugh Luttrell, who died in 1522 and his son Andrew, who died in 1538. It bears coats of arms on the canopy and the chest, and engraved lettering all round the top of the chest. Many tombs of this type also have an effigy on top, but this seems never to have been the plan. Instead, there is a suggestion that it was also used as an altar. This is a short section of the engraving, and try as I might, I can't even work out whether it's in English or Latin. Many scratches and scrawls have been added in the centuries since.
Sign outside an old-school tobacconist in the southern German town of Ladenburg.
The place has everything: Roman ruins, medieval half-timber houses, baroque churches, the automobile museum Dr. Carl Benz...
The problem is the town is just down the road from Heidelberg, where all the tourists throng.
Ladenburg is well worth a visit, if only to avoid the madding crowd.
