My LGMS reverse loop module!
I started work on this massive undertaking back in early 2020, and it was finally completed in July of 2021. My intention was for it to showcase the full potential of this LGMS module type in order to promote its adoption. It features a rural landscape with a massive forested hillside, crop fields, a lake, a farmhouse, a small town main street, a grain elevator and feed mill served by the railroad, and a small Catholic church based on one I attend in real life! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
Eastbourne Buses has just placed eleven brand new Alexander Dennis Enviro 200s into service on the 'Loop', a circular service taking in key residential areas, shopping centres and the hospital. Most are route branded, with only discrete Stagecoach logos but these distinctive plum coloured fronts which seem to work quite well, as per 36908 (GN13 HHZ), the last of the batch. This is a busy service and whilst these buses are being trumpeted as (marginally) larger than their predecessors (DAF SB120s in the main), it is perhaps a little surprising that E300s weren't chosen both for their size and fleet standardisation as the E200 is yet another new model for Eastbourne's diverse fleet.

Wk 17 - Technical (Loop Lighting) Loop lighting is one of the most used portrait lighting techniques. Shoot a portrait using loop lighting. If you don't have an off camera flash setup, get creative with how you light your subject. #dogwood2017 #dogwood52 #dogwoodweek17
On Wednesday, I realized I still had trip photos on a roll of film in my Holga and decided to finish it off on the way down to the lab.
This is the first stop on the way, the corner of Lansdowne & St Clair, where the 47 Lansdowne bus picks up passengers. If only it was that simple though. This stop is also the worst example of TTC efficiency I've ever known... and has been for years.
The problem here is that you have the 47 bus and the 47B/C. The 47 comes up from Queen and goes into the loop at St Clair. The 47B/C continues north to Yorkdale, bypassing the loop. If you are waiting at St Clair to head south, both busses will pass the streetside stop on their identical way down, BUT the 47 will not pick up passengers on the street. You have to get on it in the loop - a half block over. If you are at the street stop it will keep its doors shut, no matter how hard you knock at the door.
Commuters not from this area always get left behind. Locals who understand the ridiculous setup have developed a silent system whereby we wait ALL OVER THE STREET. As you can see in the pic, some people are waiting by me -- at the stop, while some with kids are hovering in the middle of the block, and others, like the lady in the white hooded coat are even futher along, looking into the loop. If I see the bus, I'll walk up the curb and those near the loop will see me and run over. If I see the loop people head into the loop, I'll run over there (and watch for that ice, eh). Today, the loop driver blazed through the loop making no stop and then pulled over on the street, let us in, lecturing everyone that he isn't really supposed to stop here but is being 'nice'.
Thankfully, there are a few 'nice' drivers... I'm thinking it's more that they just have some kind of heart. The early morning bastard who leaves all the little old ladies freezing in his dust because they can't run between stops... well, he can't possibly last long, 'cause you know they are all just throwing him their meanest evil eye... and I'll bet those things can add up over the course of a career, y'know?

I spent the day at one of the Valleys that make up the Mach Loop in North Wales.
It was a painful walk up to here, but well worth it to see military aeroplanes bombing through the valley at eye-level!!

Taken from outside the boundaries of Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the infamous Olympia Looping! The biggest travelling coaster in existence and the first time outside of mainland Europe.
For some reason though, it is called Munchen Looping over here, where it is actually known as Olympia Looping in mainland Europe

The "Loop Job" aka Redlands Loop Job works on the last day of 1979. Freshly outshopped GP20 3051 has the duty for the day working the remnants of the Redlands Branch. When this was taken the branch still extended beyond Redlands up to Mentone. At one time it went beyond Mentone north to Highland and headed back west to make a connection with the mainline in the northern part of San Bernardino. Thus it made a loop back to San Bernardino, hence the name. It also had the nickname of the "kite shaped track" due to the vague shape of a kite the branch portrayed on a map.

This afternoon, Grady and I teamed up with Matthew Harrell and we went out for a few hours. The PC Heritage unit was up at Beardstown but I didn't think we'd have much chance before heading back to Springfield for dinner.
We drove over to Jacksonville and checked out the new grain facility on the south side of town and the then empty grain loop. We heard a KCS 4602 on some scratchy radio transmissions but dismissed it as something on the mainline around Roodhouse. We were wrong! We came back later and found that a grain empty had arrived. In this view looking north from I-72, we can see the train is completely on the loop.
The KCS branch - former GM&O "Jack Line" is out of view to the right. The Jack Line and Air Line from Jacksonville down to Roodhouse has been rebuilt. Bartlett Grain might ship as many as 14-21 grain trains a month out of this facility. Excellent traffic for a 2 day a week branchline!

Loop Rd. Everglades (This is from 2006, just found it in the archives, I remember it was extremely dark under the bushes that line the canal along the road. Those of you who have been to Loop Rd, will know the spot: it is about 25 yards east of the Sweatwater Strand Bridge and there always seem to be Otter in that area.
The loop make these much easier to use... as a gift embellishment.. strung onto a chain... so sweet!!

Locomotive 99 7232-4 comes off the loop at Stiege with two empty coaches. The line in the distance goes off to Hasselfelde.
The loop at Stiege is like a big circle of tight radius Hornby train set curves. It was used for turning trains delivering coal to a nearby power station. Nowadays it is only used for turning stock and occasional specials.
Our party was on a service train from Eisfelder Talmuhle to Quedlinburg via Stiege (where the train has to reverse). However, the HSB decided to attach two empty coaches at Eisfelder Talmuhle which then had to be kept at the front of the train at Stiege. All this extra shunting to an already late train meant we had to change our plans.
Instead of returning from Quedlinburg to Wernigerode by standard gauge, we had back track from Stiege to Eisfelder by rail car and then take another railcar from Eisfelder to Wernigerode. After we left the steam train at Stiege it departed without hardly any passengers on it.
The upside to this was that we did get to see the Stiege loop in use.
