So, the first point of interest here are the garage doors! They are not a late modification, they were built to keep the Precentor's carriage out of the weather, and there is a smal room off to the side which may have been a stable. It was a carriage garage!
Also of interest is, in my opinion, what Nigel Tranter saw when he came here in the 1950s or 60s and wrote that this L-planned building was built with a gabled watch chamber, reached by a turret-stair, corbelled out in the re-entrant angle, nearly one hundred and fifty years before the north wing (on the left) was built.
You can often spot differences, in parts of a building built at different times, in the style of masonry, or the stone used for the facings round the windows, or the style of crow-steps etc. To my eye, everything about the north wing matches the stair tower, implying it was all built at the same time. I note the information sign attached to the wall facing the street states "the north wing may be an addition."
As progress continues on my layout, I have moved on to building the small storage yard at the back of the layout. If I built the yard lead switches using a totally "legal" configuration of switches and track elements, the resulting arrangement to yield 3x sidings would occupy 144 studs. However, by modifying the track elements into a more compact and prototypical arrangement, the same lead arrangement can be achieved in just 96 studs. The resulting arrangement is still compliant with an overall 16-stud interval geometry and offers a much smoother path for rolling stock to navigate in and out of the yard. This arrangement has a repetitive pattern of appending a "stub switch" (truncated diverging road) with alternating full and 1/2 straights in the diverging road. The eagle-eyed will notice that I messed up one siding by cutting the 1/2 straight 1-stud too long--a error easily corrected at the baseboard end! The final road has a full curve + half curve + 1/4 straight to maintain alignment with 16-stud centreline geometry. I chose to build this track arrangement as a monolithic complete assembly because I could build the entire assembly within a alignment jig. The jig (built on baseplates) held the track elements in place whilst I solvent welded plastic reinforcement bonds between adjacent track elements. These are hidden within the rail channels. It also served to hold the track in place whilst soldering the bonds between the new spliced metal rail tops--I step avoided if you're building out of RC track elements. I must admit to being relatively "comfortable" with hacking Lego track elements in order to yield track configurations which are both more prototypical and more flexible.
p.s. obviously the the switch "stand" part of the switch has to be cut back in order to fit within this compact arrangement. In my case, I'm not concerned since I remove the switch bar and operate the switch with Tortoise point motors mounted below the layout.

España - Ciudad Real - Viso del Marqués - Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz
***
ENGLISH:
It was built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It is currently the headquarters of the General Archive of the Navy.
It is one of the two palaces built by this sailor, knight of the Order of Santiago, captain of the Ocean Sea and admiral of the Spanish Navy. It is located next to the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and since 1948 it has been rented by its owners, the Marquises of Santa Cruz, to the Spanish Navy, who first used it as a Museum of the Spanish Navy and later expanded its functions by also establishing the General Archive of the Navy.
The building was frequented by the first marquis thanks to its location, halfway between Madrid, where the Court was, and Seville, whose port he often went to as the Spanish Navy was anchored there, of which he was admiral during the reign of Philip II.
The palace was nearly destroyed by the Austrian troops of Edward Hamilton during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, but was saved by the actions of the Marquis's chaplain, the poet Carlos de Praves, thanks to whom we can admire it today. It suffered some damage due to the Lisbon earthquake in 1755, which collapsed the ceiling of the hall of honour, where the great fresco depicting the Battle of Lepanto had been painted, and toppled the four corner towers, which the chronicles of Philip II described as magnificent.
In it we can find maritime objects from the period. A figurehead belonging to a ship commanded by the Marquis is noteworthy. During the War of Independence, the French razed it, and by the time the Civil War came it had served as a granary, school, stable, prison and hospital, until in 1948 and at the request of Julio Guillén Tato, director of the Naval Museum, Mrs. Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendant of Álvaro de Bazán, rented it to the Navy for 90 years as a museum-archive, which is its current function. Also, in the adjoining parish church there is a 4m long stuffed crocodile attached to one of the vaults, which was offered by the Marquis as a votive offering upon his return from one of his voyages.
Between March and April 1823, King Ferdinand VII spent the night there, after leaving Madrid for Seville, before the entry of the French contingent called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, about whose stay Ferdinand VII did not write a word in his travel diary. The palace was declared a National Monument in 1931 and was restored from 1948 by the Navy under the direction of Admiral Guillén.
The palace was built between 1564 and 1586 with subsequent modifications. It is a square-shaped building in the Renaissance style, built around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes with two themes: mythological scenes on the one hand and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family on the other. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Péroli family. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned them to do work for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.
For its construction, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters and decorators who worked on the building from 1564 to 1586. For some, the design of the building was due to the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as the Bergamasco, who later worked in El Escorial; for others, it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas el Mozo.
The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, without Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically mannerist ensemble understood as an elegant and courtly style that goes beyond the merely architectural framework.

ESPAÑOL:
Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.
Se trata de uno de los dos palacios construidos este marino, caballero de la Orden de Santiago, capitán del Mar Océano y almirante de la Marina española. Está situado al lado de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, y desde el año 1948 es alquilado por parte de sus propietarios, los marqueses de Santa Cruz, a la Armada Española, quien primero lo destinó a Museo de la Marina Española y más tarde amplió sus funciones estableciendo también el Archivo General de la Marina.
El edificio era frecuentado por el primer marqués gracias a su ubicación, a medio camino entre Madrid, donde estaba la Corte, y Sevilla, a cuyo puerto acudía a menudo al mantener allí anclada la Armada Española, de la cual fue almirante durante el reinado de Felipe II.
El palacio estuvo a punto de ser destruido por las tropas austracistas de Edward Hamilton durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española a principios del siglo XVIII, salvándose por la actuación del capellán del marqués, el poeta Carlos de Praves, gracias a lo cual hoy podemos admirarlo. Sufrió algunos daños a causa del terremoto de Lisboa en 1755: el cual hundió el techo del salón de honor, donde se había pintado el gran fresco que representaba la batalla de Lepanto, y desmochó las cuatro torres de las esquinas, que las crónicas de Felipe II describían como magníficas.
En él podemos encontrar objetos marineros de la época. Llama la atención un mascarón de proa perteneciente a una nave que dirigió el marqués. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia, los franceses lo arrasaron, y para cuando llegó la Guerra Civil había servido de granero, colegio, establo, cárcel y hospital, hasta que en 1948 y a instancias de Julio Guillén Tato, director del Museo Naval, doña Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendiente de Álvaro de Bazán se lo rentó a la Armada por 90 años como museo-archivo, que es en la actualidad su función. Asimismo, en la iglesia parroquial aledaña hay un cocodrilo disecado de 4m de largo adosado a una de las bóvedas, que fue ofrecido por el marqués como exvoto al regreso de uno de sus viajes.
Entre marzo y abril de 1823, el rey Fernando VII pernoctó allí, tras abandonar Madrid rumbo a Sevilla, ante la entrada del contingente francés llamado los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, de cuya estancia Fernando VII no escribió ni una palabra en su diario del viaje. El palacio fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 1931 siendo restaurado a partir de 1948 por la Armada bajo la dirección del Almirante Guillén.
El palacio fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.
Para su construcción, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.
La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico.

Following modifications to the 'Kings' blastpipe a series of 'steaming tests' were performed on the SVR on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
On Tuesday 6023 'King Edward II' is seen tnt 50031 'Hood' on Eardington Bank heading what I believe was the sixth steam test of the day - all of which ran between Highley - Bridgnorth. The '50' was used to haul the 'King' and rolling stock between Bridgnorth - Highley.
Of all the railways that ever existed in Britain, the Cromford &
High Peak Railway (C&HPR) is by far the most interesting. While the line was in full use by 1831, the line saw plenty of changes during it's lifetime.
I have already covered Hurdlow incline being bypassed and closed in 1869 on my page and have recently turned my attention to Dowlow.
At the bottom of the image we see the current line going up to Dowlow quarry. The embankment higher up was the original alignment of the line.
The C&HPR was predominantly constructed by Canal engineers and featured long flat straights and sharp turns with steep inclines in lieu of Locks with winching engines. By the 1890's, the Ashbourne line was under construction by the LNWR, one of the later lines to be added to Britain's vast network of railways.
The late construction of this line meant more advanced construction techniques from experienced railway engineers were used; long sweeping turns and long shallow gradients (relatively!) that steam locos of the era could easily climb.
The line was envisaged to carry passengers so speed was an important factor on the line. By 1887, the LNWR had also taken over the operation of the C&HPR. The old alignment of C&HPR, which was serving the quarries near Dowlow, were inadequate for running passenger trains on and the LNWR had constructed a new line climbing out of Buxton from their terminus station, which would bypass the old alignment. This is what is seen in this image.
My assumptions is that the old alignment would have closed completely as the Ashbourne line opened in 1899.
I will next cover a tri-junction off to right of this image on my side of the line where this picture was taken. It has incredibly sharp turns and amazingly stone sleepers still in the place they were when presumably put down nearly 200 years ago!

The Dachs CEV isa development of the Leopard tank in Voightländische service. It utilises the same basic chassis, but with modifications to allow for more room inside. Again, the “Pullover” package is installed, with ERA blocks added to the upper glacis, and the side skirts were lined with rubber layers, just like on the Leopard 1b.
More of an APC than a real CEV, the Dachs is a combat engineer section carrier, capable of carrying 8 operators, of which 7 can deploy via the large roof hatch on the rear, or the two other smaller hatches. It is armed with a variety of machine guns, ranging from a manually-controlled 7.62mm to a remotely-controlled 12.7mm OWS. Smoke grenade launchers are also present on the four corners.
For mine-clearing duties, the Dachs can be equipped with mine rollers and the Carpet mine-clearing system, consisting of 18 rockets that can be fired separately or all at once. These contain a fuel-air explosive warhead which spreads a cloud of fuel fumes that are then detonated. The overpressure from the explosion destroys most mines. There is also electronic equipment inside the vehicle for detonating roadside bombs or jamming detonation signals.
Other options include a dozer blade, and an A-frame crane, capable of lifting 35 tons when the spades are deployed. The winch is installed where the large hatch was, and has a 45 tons direct pull capacity.

My friend Devon putts with great power and precision. :)
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now. As golf courses worldwide close down for lack of patronage, disc golf courses are popping up everywhere. While ball golf courses require clear-cut swaths of land, constant watering, fertilizing and maintenance, disc golf course are inexpensive to build, require minimal modifications to the environment, minimal maintenance and can be built almost anywhere. Where golf is often viewed as an elitist activity for it's expensive equipment, fancy golf clubs and wealthy, snooty patrons, disc golf equipment is inexpensive, the courses are by and large free, or nearly free to play, and as many will attest, is equally as fun and challenging as ball golf.

No chains were harmed in the making of this image. Though Devon has a very solid putt, it doesn't usually break chains. To create the broken chain illusion, I isolated the chains from the background, removed the original chains, and then rebuilt them from pieces of the original chains in this configuration. I used a little motion blur on the broken chains. I hand painted in the little swish, just to emphasize that the disc came from Devon's hand.

After three months of the modification project, we are finally starting the last phase. The subject’s immune system is no longer fighting the medication and his muscles have been dissolved from the bones. According to Professor Rosenfeld’s calculations, they will easily reattach to the carbon skeleton after the procedure. Our head engineer Mr. Gordon and his team finished the prototype ten days ago and produced the first usable version. We are now making the final calibrations. The subject has been sedated and the observation team has arrived. The insertion procedure will start at 3pm, after the gouvernment‘s permission is given.
As you might noticed, this small but IMO really cool Vignette was built by N-11 Ordo, Mr Grievous and me together in the year 2011. But we never uploaded it for some reason so we came up with the idea of doing it now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I still do. Old School ftw!

Description in English
About shooting location:
Passenger train №425 from Chelyabinsk to Kaliningrad is on the stretch Tupik - Kozel'sk of Moscow Railway (the branch of JSC "Russian Railways"). Historically this stretch is a part of the railway line from Ranenburg to Smolensk, which was completed in 1899, was part of the Ryazan-Ural Railway. This railway line from the time of construction and to this day its entire length is single track and not electrified. The movement here is not very rich: some freight trains passes a day, 2 pair (two trains in one direction and two in the opposite) of suburban trains, as well as two passenger trains (pictured in the photo Chelyabinsk - Kaliningrad and Baranovichi - Karaganda), each which runs once a week in both directions. The train The train goes inside the notches within the boundaries of the ancient Russian city of Kozel’sk, founded in 1146 (a year older than Moscow), which in 1238 earned it the nickname "Angry City" because the Mongol-Tatar troops seven weeks could not take it by assault.
About locomotive:
2M62U is Soviet and Ukrainian two-piece twelve-axles mainline freight diesel-electric locomotive maximum power of 4000 hp and a maximum speed of 100 km/h, manufactured by Voroshilovogradsky named the October Revolution plant (later - "Luganskteplovoz") from 1987 to 2001. It is one of the modifications of the diesel locomotive M62, exported in the socialist countries of Europe. M62 was designed for 1435 mm gauge and for the European dimensions (smaller than in the Soviet Union), but caught on Soviet railways, but because of the need to drive heavier trains than in Europe, have been developed to the two- and three-section modification. Originally designed as a cargo and passenger locomotive is turned out to be universal: this line of locomotives using with freight and passenger trains, as well as with repairing trains or sometimes as a shunter. 2M62U is a minor upgrade of 2M62 (two-section modification of M62), which is to install a high-capacity fuel tank and jawless carts.
It is necessary to decipher the notation 2M62U. 2 means two-section, M means the Hungarian «motormozdony» (diesel locomotive), 6 means six-axle and 2 means type 2 (before Hungary was purchased from Sweden locomotive M61, which was the last case of purchase of locomotives from capitalist countries). The fact that the diesel locomotive M62 was originally delivered to Hungary and the Hungarian designation the Soviet its designation sounds like TE112, but found no use. 2M62U were built 394 units, and now most of them are in operation. Diesel locomotive 2M62U is spread in Central Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and in the Baltic states, and separate locomotives can occur anywhere in the former Soviet Union, including in the property industry.
Railwaymen and railway enthusiasts giving to the locomotive 2M62U for example the following nicknames: "Mashka", ‘Double Mashka”, ’"Smart Mashka", "The Fly", "Maroussia", "Moped".
In this photo represented 2M62U- 0168, built in 1989 home depot TCHE-36 Novomoskovsk of Moscow railway. The locomotive and cars are painted in a corporate color of JSC "Russian Railways".
Описание на русском
О месте съемки:
Пассажирский поезд №425 Челябинск – Калининград идет по перегону Тупик – Козельск Московской железной дороги (филиала ОАО «РЖД»). Исторически этот перегон является частью железнодорожной линии Раненбург – Смоленск, строительство которой было завершено в 1899 г., входившей в состав Рязано-Уральской железной дороги. Эта железнодорожная линия с момента постройки и по сей день на всем своем протяжении является однопутной и неэлектрифицированной. Движение здесь не очень насыщенное: за сутки проходит несколько грузовых поездов, 2 пары (два поезда в одном направлении и два – в противоположном) пригородных поездов, а также два пассажирских поезда (запечатленный на фото Челябинск – Калининград и Барановичи – Караганды), каждый из которых ходит один раз в неделю в обоих направлениях. Поезд идет внутри выемки в черте древнего русского города Козельск, основанного в 1146 г. (на год старше Москвы), который в 1238 г. получил прозвище «Злой город» за то, что монголо-татарские войска семь недель не могли взять его штурмом.
О локомотиве:
2М62У - советский и украинский двухсекционный двенадцатиосный грузовой магистральный тепловоз с электрической передачей максимальной мощностью 4000 л.с. и максимальной конструкционной скоростью 100 км/ч, выпускавшийся Ворошиловоградским заводом Октябрьской революции (позднее – «Лугансктепловоз») с 1987 по 2001 гг. Является одной из модификаций тепловоза М62, поставлявшегося в соцстраны Европы. М62 разрабатывался для колеи 1435 мм и для европейского габарита (меньших, чем в СССР), однако прижился и на советских железных дорогах, но в связи с необходимостью водить более тяжелые поезда, нежели в Европе, были разработаны двух- и трехсекционные модификации. Тепловоз, изначально разрабатывавшийся в качестве грузопассажирского, оказался универсальным: локомотивы данного семейства используются и в грузовом, и в пассажирском движении, а также с хозяйственными поездами и иногда на маневрах. 2М62У является незначительной модернизацией 2М62 (двухсекционной модификации тепловоза, предназначенного для Европы), которая заключается в установке топливного бака повышенной емкости и бесчелюстных тележек.
Стоит расшифровать обозначение 2М62У. 2 - двухсекционный, М – от венгерского «motormozdony» (тепловоз), 6 – шестиосный, 2 – тип 2 (до этого Венгрией был закуплен у Швеции тепловоз М61, что являлось последним случаем закупки локомотивов у капиталистических стран). Дело в том, что тепловоз М62 изначально поставлялся в Венгрию, а венгерское его обозначение впоследствии прижилось и в СССР, советское же его обозначение звучит как ТЭ112, однако не нашло применения. Что же касается 2М62У, то их было построено 394 единицы, и в настоящее время большинство из них находится в работе. Тепловоз 2М62У распространен в Центральной России, Беларуси, Украине и Прибалтике, а отдельные экземпляры могут встречаться в любой точке бывшего СССР, в том числе в собственности промышленных предприятий.
Железнодорожники и любители железной дороги за наименование наделяют тепловоз 2М62У например следующими прозвищами: «Машка», «Двойная Машка», «Умная Машка», «Муха», «Маруся», «Мопед».
На данном фото представлен тепловоз 2М62У-0168, построенный в 1989 г. Депо приписки – ТЧЭ-36 Новомосковск Московской железной дороги. Тепловоз и вагоны окрашены в корпоративный окрас ОАО «РЖД».
"CLK LM, which was conceived with the 24 Hours of Le Mans in mind. Race regulations and conditions at Le Mans required that Mercedes’ entry receive certain upgrades in preparation for the world’s most famous endurance race. Unfortunately, the race-proven M120 V-12 was replaced by another naturally aspirated engine, the M119 V-8. Surprisingly, the V-8 produced equal amounts of horsepower and was believed to be better suited for long-distance racing. Additional aerodynamic modifications were made in the way of a lowered roofline and nose and redesigned air intakes. Ironically, the two CLK LMs retired early in the race due to engine failure..."

Ok that was done just for fun with an extra CAM head I’ve got :DDD
It could be a random minbari warrior girl if/when I’ll finish with headbone and find a way to bake it without destroyng the head… does anybody know if aerogrill is ok for monsters’ heads? I’m afraid it’s not T__T
I have attended a photography workshop today. We have been shooting with two models down in a secret passage towards the Nymphenburg Castle in Munich. Outside it was 35°C, in this cellar, it was probably around 20°C, so it was a pretty good way to spend this day. Great location, great models, great crew, big time fun.

This is something I wanted to upload for years now ! In 2011, n7mereel, Mr. Grievous and me built this, but never came around to uploading it for several reasons. Now I finally found the photos on my PC, reedited them and we decided to uploade them.
I still like it very much, even though it is a bit old.
Hope you agree !
A side view of the unusual Morris Minor that you see at local car shows near me in Scunthorpe. Here you can see the 5th wheel that I mentioned in the previous image. Parked up here in front of an electricity/gas station.
Pictures taken with a Kolarivision Thin Filter modified Canon RP, Konica hexanon 50mm F2 rangefinder lens, wide open.
I adore the rendition of this lens, both with film in my Leica M3 and Zeiss ZI cameras and now with proper digital body.
The thin filter modification improved the corners very much, with no significant color cast. absolutely sweet bokeh transition.
A lens with character, prefer it to the pre APO Leica Summicron, with much better bokeh, and similar sharpness.
This sample was Cla'd by Kanto Camera in Japan and registered to Leica flange distance standard.
I will enjoy this lens/camera combo...

A minor modification I did for the LEGO Speed Champions 76895 Ferrari F8 Tributo. I decided to replace the sticker headlights to the transparent pieces. Looks even better, but not accurate as like the real model. This modification is just for the looks, nothing particularly follow the real replica model. For those of you who doesn't like stickers here's an option for you.
Feel free to spread the idea and don't forget to tag me 😉
Have you ever found your LEGO switch has lost its spring?!? This might be an answer....
Apologies for the video presentation in places, it's my first 'instruction' piece.
Any comments welcome.
Alright, here is my second mod. I did not make this yesterday/today if that's what you're wondering. I actually created 3 mods together and finished them all roughly the same time. This was just one of the smaller modifications. It includes a red-dot, and an extra magazine. Not comparable to my RPK, i'd say.
I've really started to like modding, and i think that I will do a lot more of it. The only thing I don't like is cutting up my brickarms. :3 I need to buy extras! I actually have two more mods that I'll show the next two days.
The weapon was not inspired by anyone specifically, but those added have inspired me to mod in general. I love their modding, and I think that at some time, I may be able to mod as good as them!
On a totally different note, Bricks Cascade is in 8 days! :D Can't wait to see a lot of you guys there!
Feedback on all of my mods are appreciated more than you could imagine. I actually use the feedback on my future mods. Thanks again fellas!
