Independent Rail's 4488 leads Greentrains locomotive 603 past Mascot with T280 container trip train from Yennora to Mascot.
This mascot mysteriously appeared along the east side of the Mammette Lake Road, just by the north end of the lake. Not sure who made it, or what (s)he represents, but it does make you smile.

No Japanese event is complete without people in suits. I can't even comprehend how hot they must have been.
Spider in it's web on the back door of my Freelander. In camera focus stack 8 shots. I'll call him Boris.
4488 leads the second CFCLA 44 under the footbridge at Mascot, heading for the eventual destination of Port Botany
it reminds me of my old school Mascot so I folded another one with the necessary color changes. :D
It's still Riccardo Foschi's gryphon. Just a much more clean fold
Pictured is The Mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland (Lance Corporal Cruachan IV, the Shetland Pony)
The use of mascots in the British Army began in the 18th century when regiments used animals to work with them, bringing luck, strength and moral. Now they are treated in many ways like any other soldier and share the camaraderie and danger of their human colleagues.
The British Army has both official and unofficial mascots. Unofficial mascots are fed and housed at regimental expense or taken ‘on the strength’. Official mascots are entitled to the services of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps and looked after with public money.
Official mascots also have a regimental number and rank. As with human soldiers, they can even be promoted and demoted!
Some of these mascots have connections to their regiment's home county. Others symbolise part of their unit's history.
