Just another hawk. Modification of agile hawk by tokyo tag team. His agile hawk was my way out of my dark ages (look at my first pics). In 2016 I build a first modified hawk, now same model but other color theme.
That one was a gift for Meisterschnorrer
By the spring of 1984 the pressure of a young family considerably curtailed my railway photography. Another aspect that also suffered was my record keeping of what I had actually taken and here is a case in point, a Kodachrome 64 transparency of 40060 undertaking what appears to be a light engine shunt move at the east end of Manchester Victoria. The transparency mount has a date of January 1985 stamped on it so dating the shot to probably late 1984.
Whilst looking for something else today (28th January 2025) I came across an old notebook detailing work related things I had been looking at on various trackside visits around 1982 – 1984. On flipping through the notebook full of signalling notes, circuit details, location profiles etc I suddenly came across a page recording the details of a roll of Kodachrome 64 film taken in the autumn of 1984 and therefore can now date this photograph as being taken on the 3rd October 1984.
Locomotive History
40060 was originally D260 and was built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry works in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire. D260 entered traffic in February 1960, allocated to Haymarket MPD and would remain a Haymarket engine for the next twenty one years. Although built with gangway doors and train headcode discs D260 was, along with all of the Haymarket early allocation of Class 40’s (D260 – D266) modified during the mid 1960’s to the final class 40 nose end design fitted to D345 onwards. This entailed having the disc indicators removed, nose end doors plated over, and a four character centre headcode panel installed. Why this modification was only fitted to these seven locomotives at this time I do not know. Its final few years were spent in the North West, transferred to Carlisle Kingmoor in May 1981 and it was withdrawn in January 1985, just over five years after its last classified repair at Crewe Works in December 1979.
However that was not the end of the road and 40060 was one of four class 40's (40012/60, 40118/35) which were reinstated during April and May 1985 and 'patched up' for departmental duties with restricted working associated with the Crewe re-modelling works. For these duties 40060 was renumbered 97405 and allocated to Crewe. Despite the general lack of maintenance and attention, these four locomotives continued in service after the work at Crewe had been completed, hauling local ballast and freight trains and 97405 remained in service until withdrawn in March 1987, the last of the quartet to be withdrawn. It was broken up by Vic Berry, Leicester in March 1988.
Canon AT1, Kodachrome 64
The palace dates from as far back as XV century, although it has been fully re-shaped since then. Home to a Valencian noble family, the Marquis de Dos Aguas, it was originally a Gothic building. In 1740 it was re-shaped to Baroque by Hipolito Rovira, and it is then that the famous entrance was added. The last modification took place in 1850s-60s, when the entire facade was redesigned to a hybrid of newer elements. In 1949 the palace was bought by the Ministry of Education to house the collection of ceramics donated by Dr. Gonzalez Marti.
In the composition of this magnificent entrance made in 1745 reference to the two largest rivers of the Valencian community is: the Turia and Júcar, represented by two naked human figures (Atlanteans); under these two buckets pour water in clear reference to the title of the Marquises.
On the right side of the entrance it see represented two heads of crocodile, a quiver of arrows and a vessel by whose mouth pour the water. On this set one of the two great figures referred to above and higher up decoration of ivy whose trunk it curls a snake.
On the left side, a reclining lion, another vessel pouring water into and other quiver of arrows. On the back of the lion resting the foot on the other giant. Complete the set diverse decoration of plant type and a palm tree.
In the doorpost the complicated shield of the Marquises, the shield of the Rabassa de Perellós family and its various noble junctions. Embrace or rather protect the shield, the figures of two savages with maces. So between its quarters it can find the surnames Perellós (represented by some pears), Rabassa, the lineage of the Lanuza, Rocafull, Boil, Hijar and Maza de Lizana among others.
In the upper body of the entrance, in a niche artistic, the image to natural size of the Virgin of the Rosary, chosen as special patron saint by the House of Dos Aguas. At the foot of the Virgin two matrons kneeling, one with a cornucopia (the horn of Almatea) from which it spilling fruits (allegory of Agriculture and Prosperity) and the other with a vessel at its feet from out coins (allegory of Justice and Magnanimity). Flank the Virgin of the Rosary two pairs of small winged sirens. Throughout the entrance the overflowing voluptuousness of the Rococo style. Above the niche where the Virgin, it see represented the image of an angel with a trumpet, is "la Fama" trumpeter that proclaims the greatness of the Marquisate of Dos Aguas also wears a laurel wreath. The Virgin of the Rosary is work in polychrome wood by Ignacio Vergara in 1740 but it disappeared, it now see is a plaster copy made in 1866 by Francisco Cano Molineli. The niche has a lid that allows the concealment of the image; when the Marquises were outside the palace the image of the Virgin was hidden, and if they were inside the palace the image appeared in full view to the people.

Fourth picture of my series My Dreamed Sunset. (This time an extraction of a pair of the nets, just at an atypical blue hour, as more than the blues in the sky still prevailed as powerful red sunset.)
I leave you today with this photograph of the last Saturday, the most intense sunset in the Albufera of Valencia Natural Park than i have contemplated in all my life. A dream come true.
They were about ten minutes in which the red flooded everything, creating an incredible atmosphere, with red, orange, yellow, pink and blue colors. Just incredible. What do you think about it???
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Thursday. :)

I was testing another camera / lens setup in my backyard a few days ago and encountered this tiny jumping spider (Maevia inclemens?), preparing to "balloon" from the end of a pine needle at the top of a foot tall pine sapling. These events usually happen very quickly and I could see that it was very close to paying out line and floating away. On this occasion I was stuck with no time to run to the house to get a "normal" macro set-up. The rig I was testing was my D40 with the lens and shutter assembly from a Number 1 Eastman Folding Pocket Kodak, made from 1905 to 1915. The shutter assembly and lens board were mounted on the front of a Spiratone Bellow-Dupliscope bellows using rubber bands. The magnification used to get these images was provided by shooting through the objective lens from a damaged beyond repair Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 ED auto focus lens, standing on edge, hose clamped to the end of the bellows rail. The Kodak lens was racked forward to where it was nearly in contact with the objective's barrel. The rubber bands allowed for positioning the Kodak lens in the center of the objective. This crude air-spaced arrangement works surprisingly well, but focusing hand-held, even with a stick to provide a bit of stability, is difficult. The Kodak shutter was left open on "T", the exposure being made by the D40. The Kodak's lens has three apertures... 1, 2, and 3, with 2 being used. The viewfinder image was very dim and trying to achieve maximum depth of field by using 3, the smallest, was impossible.
I often encounter ballooning spiders and sometimes get some interesting shots. The image on the left was taken as it was backing out to the very tip, the right pic showing it ready to extrude a line of silk. A light breeze was moving the needle up and down, so in this frontal image the eyes fell just outside the focus "sweet spot", with its front legs being a bit sharper. The side view had the needle moving parallel with the camera back, so focus wasn't an
issue... it's a bit sharper. Hoping to get a shot that might show a bit of loose silk behind the spider, I shot once more, the screen image then showing an unoccupied needle... no spider.

Whilst looking for something on an external hard driver I discovered this image that had not been processed. Not one of my best efforts by far but I thought I would tackle it anyway.
Not got a half decent result from the image.
60049 is seen on its own waiting to to be struck up into life to carry out its job as the "Wood Yard Pilot" at this time the loco had a 20mph restriction on her as she needed new wheel sets that was never forthcoming and sadly she was not chosen for the "Super 60" Overhaul and modification program and she languishes at Toton TMD.
Triumph Vitesse 2 litre (Mk.1) (1966-68) Engine 1998cc S6 OHV Production 19921 *(all Vitesse Mk.1 + Mk.2 = 12977 Saloon + 6944 Convertible)

The Vitesse was styled by Giovanni Michelotti, and launched as a six cylinder 1600cc model in 1962 as a Saloon and Convertible, along simular lines as the smaller Triumph Herald. With twin slanting head lights, giving an instant identity separate to the single lights of the Herals.
In 1966 the Vitesse was upgraded to 2 litre with the in line engine of the Triumph GT6, giving 95bhp, and relaunched as a seperate model.
here were detail modifications for the 2-litre, including a stronger all synchromesh gearbox and uprated brakes, and an improved stronger differential than the Vitesse 1.6. But the increased power highlighted the deficiencies of the rear suspension.
A problem addressed with the launch of the Mk.2 Vitesse in 1968.

The original model felt very flimsy to me so I decided to change it up and put it on a base plate. The result is more sturdy and a cool display piece compared to the original set

Man is a playing being.
Initiated by the discussions in this group I have startet to play again with 2nd pass lith and it is damn difficult to stop it.
You may have seen, that I have discovered the charme of „faults“, like this uncompleted bleach. In the past I would have thrown away results like this immediately due to technical shortcomings. Today I am exploring all these additional possibilities for further works. Great prospects are opening up. Sometimes it may be nice and funny to play around without a profound knowlege, but to obtain reproducible results, one should plan each individual step in every detail and keep notes about any slightest modification.
This one for example, came out almost as expected. In my eyes only one step is still suboptimal, the grade of overexposure. A 2/10 stop less exposure would have been better for the contrast.

Commuter DC electric trainsets of the ED2T (Electric train Demikhovskiy 2-th modification with dynamic brake) project were being built by the JSC DMZ (Demikhovo Machinebuilding Plant; Russian: ОАО ДМЗ, Демиховский машиностроительный завод) in 1993-1999 yy with total production of 54 (549 cars). Then they were replaced by new project - ED4 with all russian electric equipment. ED2T design was in general based on the ER24 original project of the perspective improved trainset developed but never built in Soviet Latvia by the RVR (Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca, Riga, Latvia) with some new electric equipment but main electric equipment was still made in Latvia. ET2 project from Torzhok of Tver based on more archaic ER2 design of Latvian RVR competed for the leadership. Really the ED2T presented in Saint Petersburg at August of 1993 was the first electric trainset built in Russia with ET2 prototype was made slightly later. Ironically in The October Railway ET2 and its improved ET2M version dominates. On the base of DC electric ED2T DMZ developed AC electric trainset ED9T built from 1995 till 2016.
(Just another day of previous photoshoot, I tryed another time for take longer exposures. For this shot I wanted to guide with the light of dawn on the boats)
Magical sunrise in this beautiful place that is the Albufera of Valencia.
The image title is because during the photoshoot, surrounded by all this beauty, calm water, boat, reeds, mud, tranquility, flying birds ... every moment reminded me a lot to the great novel "Cañas y Barro" of the great Valencian writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, set in rural Valencia (Albufera) of the early twentieth century, the novel observes and portrays the social reality of the time and place with absolute precision.
On the technical side, say that I only used a ND soft gradient three steps filter combined with one four steps ND filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

made a few modifications to my cobbled lens and sorted out a light leak..I've got the min focusing distance down to 2cm now and I.think I'll call it finished.., i'm quite pleased with the magnification i;m getting, this flies head is at about 50% size, the sharpness is surprisingly not too shabby either..
The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete. The aircraft's performance has been upgraded with the E-2B, and E-2C versions, where most of the changes were made to the radar and radio communications due to advances in electronic integrated circuits and other electronics. The fourth version of the Hawkeye is the E-2D, which first flew in 2007. The E-2 was the first aircraft designed specifically for its role, as opposed to a modification of an existing airframe, such as the Boeing E-3 Sentry. Variants of the Hawkeye have been in continuous production since 1960, giving it the longest production run of any carrier-based aircraft. Photographed in Victoria BC Canada.
Modifications: new brown eyelashes, brown eyeballs, new make up, marrone obitsu sbh L, new curly wig from Leekeworld (brown), ixtee shoes, handmade outfit.
I hope you enjoy it. ^^

Having made significant progress on AFOLhood, I have a hard time building a "normal" LEGO set as it is. When I got a 10242 from a good friend in the summer the wheels immediately started ticking, wondering about what I should do with it.
This is supposed to be a very rare type of Imperial Knight, I mean a legendary being like that infamous Obsidian Knight or such. Armed with a turbo laser, a doubled Knight-class flamer and additionally equipped with a couple of autocannons, grenade launchers and advanced ion shields, this Knight is almost as capable as a Warhound titan, but way faster and far more agile being a much more difficult target.
This model, even though it's obviously WH40K-related, isn't based off of some particular miniature, nor of a fan-made conversion. I can say it was heavily influenced by UNL-1 and UNL-2 cyborgs, toys produced in Russia since nineties. They (especially the earliest ones) were hideous pieces of plastic, but now they are stuff of legends and really precious items for many collectors (like myself). The interesting thing here is that those UNL-1 cyborgs were inspired by Warhammer Epic titans and bore some distinctive features like weapons or decorative elements. UNL-2 in their turn were more of a reinvention of those original Rogue Trader "MK" dreadnoughts. I really like both series and I really like how this model turned out. It is original and yet its Warhammer roots are quite evident. Hope you guys enjoy!
I just got to realize that I recently passed the "2K followers" millstone! Thanks for checking my works! Thanks for leaving your comments! I have lots of stuff to share and I promise to post more often! Cheers!
The modules are the same as my earlier modification but folded from 2x1 rectangles instead of squares - www.flickr.com/photos/61236172@N08/9669619953/
After assembling the modules, a mountain fold is added to each of the 6 arms to form the coaster. Two 45 degrees Mountain folds are applied to the other end of the modules to complete the model.

St. Margaret's Church: The fortified church was built in gothic style in 1488, with time it went through different modifications. The feeble ground structure made its tower, built in 1460, incline. 1550 the church was raised with three storeys and in 1551 four smaller towers were added to show that the city had a court. It was at that time that it gained its 68.5 meters height. In 1783 the roof-structure was changed and the small towers renovated, it was also then that the golden globe, dating from 1550, was brought down from the tower and according to tradition its content was read aloud. The tower proved to be a good spotting post. In those times the trumpeter in the tower had a great function, alerting about the approaching danger. If he made a mistake, he would've been thrown out from the top of the tower. From this does the towers name derive, Trumpeters tower. In this tower was ordered to be locked Vlad Ţepeş, a.k.a. Dracula, by King Matyas in 1476. On the inside walls of the church you can see 14th- or 15th-century frescoes. The altar was made in 1480 in gothic style, and portrays the sufferings of Jesus. On the portrait, below the crucified Jesus' arm, a Wien panorama can be observed, this indicates the portray origin. The church walls are also decorated with eastern wall carpets given to the church by Christians, some date back to the 16th century. In the church there is the oldest brazen baptistry of the country made at the beginning of the 19th century.The canopy of the pulpit was made in 1679 by master Sigismund Moess. Its pipe-organ, from 1755, is appropriate for symphony concerts. While these concerts last the church benches are turned to face the pipe-organ.
The 1927 Duesenberg Model X Boat Roadster in its new home. This exquisitely restored Model X Duesenberg donated to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum by current owner, University of Michigan English professor Dr. Peter Heydon. Photos courtesy of (The) Appleman
Duesenberg is most often associated with its later Model J automobiles, but it was the Model A, built from 1922-’26, that gave the company its start as an automaker. In between came the Model X, of which 13 were initially planned and just four were built. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Peter Heydon and his late wife, Rita, the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum has been gifted what many have called “the rarest of Duesenbergs,” a one-of-one built 1927 Model X Boat Roadster that would play an influential role in Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg history.
The Duesenberg brothers proved more adept at racing cars than at running businesses, but their Model A line did feature innovative designs like an overhead camshaft eight-cylinder engine and hydraulic brakes. Sales started in late 1921, and by 1926 the company had built an estimated 600 examples; unfortunately it had also gone through a reorganization, officially changing its name from the Duesenberg Automobiles and Motors Company to the Duesenberg Motor Company in 1925. Production continued in the same Indiana factory, but sales had fallen to dismal levels and another bankruptcy loomed.
To reverse the company’s fortunes, Fred Duesenberg began work on a new automobile to replace the Model A. To cut development costs, the chassis would be based upon the one used in the Model A, with modifications that included additional reinforcement and leaf springs mounted above the frame rails for a lower center of gravity. The engine would be derived from the Model A as well, but the 260-cu.in. inline eight-cylinder would receive a revised intake, a new valvetrain, different pistons and a new crankshaft, all of which raised output from 88 horsepower to 100 horsepower, reportedly enough to give the Model X a 100 MPH top speed.
Working with materials at hand, Duesenberg built 13 Model X chassis, sending one example off to Connorsville, Indiana, coachbuilder McFarlan for an aluminum “boat roadster” body. The attention-getting car would be displayed at the 1927 New York Auto Salon, and the Duesenberg brothers hoped the custom-bodied roadster would generate interest in other variants planned for the Model X line.
Except that’s not quite what happened.

· Myself in brickheadz shows where I live.
· Make Lion Rock Hill in Hong Kong as background. It represents the core spirit of HK people.
· QR code links to your travel blog pages.
LEGO is awesome!!
Modifications were originally by Vodnik on Eurobricks. So I copied them onto mine. It makes the Transport look more proportional.
Versailles, France.
Versalles es una comuna francesa, capital del departamento de Yvelines en la región Ile-de-France, mundialmente famosa por su castillo y sus jardines, sitios clasificados bajo los auspicios de la UNESCO en la lista del patrimonio mundial de la humanidad. Según el censo de 2015, la población de la ciudad es de 85.771.
Una nueva ciudad creada por la voluntad del rey Luis XIV, fue la sede del poder político francés durante un siglo, de 1682 a 1789, y se convirtió en la cuna de la Revolución Francesa.
Después de perder su condición de ciudad real, se convirtió en la capital del departamento de Seine-et-Oise en 1790, y de Yvelines en 1968, y en un obispado.
Versalles también es históricamente conocido por ser el lugar de firma de dos tratados: el Tratado de París (1783), que puso fin a la Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos, el Tratado de Versalles firmado después del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial.
Ubicada en los suburbios occidentales de la capital francesa, a 17,1 km del centro de París, Versalles es en el siglo XXI una ciudad residencial rica con una economía principalmente terciaria y es un destino turístico internacional líder. Siempre en Versalles se celebran congresos en el castillo, diputados y senadores, para ratificar cualquier modificación de la constitución. Sede de la Universidad de Versalles-Saint-Quentin (UVSQ) y acoge a muchas empresas, la ciudad forma parte del proyecto del clúster de competitividad tecnológica París-Saclay.
Versailles is a French commune, capital of the department of Yvelines in the Ile-de-France region, world famous for its castle and gardens, classified sites under the auspices of UNESCO on the world heritage list. According to the 2015 census, the population of the city is 85,771.
A new city created by the will of King Louis XIV, was the seat of French political power for a century, from 1682 to 1789, and became the cradle of the French Revolution.
After losing its status as a royal city, it became the capital of the department of Seine-et-Oise in 1790, and Yvelines in 1968, and a bishopric.
Versailles is also historically known for being the place of signing of two treaties: the Treaty of Paris (1783), which ended the United States War of Independence, the Treaty of Versailles signed after the end of the First World War.
Located in the western suburbs of the French capital, 17.1 km from the center of Paris, Versailles is in the 21st century a rich residential city with a mainly tertiary economy and is a leading international tourist destination. In Versailles always congresses are held in the castle, deputies and senators, to ratify any modification of the constitution. Headquarters of the University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin (UVSQ) and hosts many companies, the city is part of the Paris-Saclay technology competitiveness cluster project.
I made a few modifications to my imperial Hovertank. Now, this is part one of three so keep an eye out.
In this shot you can see a few of the changes I made. The overall body of the tank is the same as original. It was a good design so I tried not to change it too much.
Some of the changes in this picture are:
- Headlights
- Minor modifications to the front
- Minor changes to the cabin (I'll go into more detail in the next one)
- Room for Stormtroopers at the back
So, like I said, this is part one of three, so keep a probe droid out and stay kept up.
