Long time no see! Warming up myself by doing some simple builds, and this is one of the projects I always wanted to do: a bucket loader to complete my construction site series! It is a challenge to redo everything on my own, and I took some inspiration from others on the cockpit part. The loader arm is not easy at all, taking me nearly 2 weeks to make it right and work like the real life loader with the same mechanism.
Beefing up the dump truck a little bit from 60075, now the bucket loader has a match work partner. As a bonus, a little red digger to speed up the site progress!

An empty Weston hopper train crosses over the Kinnickinnic River as a loaded Weston coal passes on the adjacent track.
Finally finished! After 10+ hours of work and about $65 worth of ordering the Blackhawk is finished. I'd like to thank Lego Junkie and Lego Haulic for their amazing Blackhawks, which I based mine off of (mostly the nose). When I started building this model I started out with the nose, then cabin, then rotor system and finally the tail (which was a bitch to get right, the angle for it is quite hard to achieve). The wheels are a little delicate but overall pretty stable. My favorite build I've done in a long-while. Decals by Roaglaan

Isaiah 22:25

It has been agreed by those at hand that Elmer's pumpkin could indeed be loaded. In expediency an old boxcar was sourced and loading commenced. An engine hoist was sourced from a nearby mechanic and with enough rope, straps and chain the job could be completed. Lifting bit by bit and supporting with pallets and hay bales the cargo was secured. By morning the great pumpkin was in downtown Milwaukee. And, yes it won the contest. Easily.

After using my car rarely during the lockdowns, it was time for me to load up the tank with petrol once more, going into the shop to pay afterwards, of course (you can watch the video here: youtu.be/tkj9a3lOG7k). Then off to Bluewater for a quick road crossing before continuing with the other fun of the evening.
A visit was made to the opencast coal processing and distribution centre at Onllwyn in the upper Dulais Valley back in 2006, where we were granted permission to enter the site and take some images. EWS 60004 had arrived from Swansea Burrows S.S. with 36 HAA hoppers and loading had not long commenced. Once the loading was completed, the wagons would be taken to Margam and would later form the 7E10 TTHO 18:51 Margam T.C. to Immingham S.S..
