76084 at Weybourne station on the North Norfolk Railway.
From 1951, British Railways started to build steam locomotives to its own ‘standard’ designs, which were largely based on London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) practice but incorporating ideas and modifications from the other constituent companies, and America. The class was designed at Doncaster which was also responsible for building 25 of the 115 strong class. The remaining 90 were split between the Horwich (45) and Derby (45) Works. The last in the series, No.76114, was also the final steam engine to be constructed at the ‘Plant’ as the Doncaster works was known.
The Standard Four Mogul was primarily intended for freight use. Batches were allocated to every BR region except the Western.
The 1955 Modernisation Plan called for the phasing out of steam engines. Major withdrawals occurred during the period 1962 to 1966, and the steam era ended in early August 1968, coinciding with the Beeching Axe.
76084
76084 was outshopped from the Horwich Works on 28th. March 1957 at a cost of £22,082 and with an expected working life of 40 years but the Modernisation Plan of 1955 curtailed this drastically. 76084 was one of the last batch of locomotives to be built at Horwich, finishing with 76099 in November 1957.
Records show that 76084 initially went to Lower Darwen (24D) along with her sisters 76080/1/2 and 3. They were then transferred to Sutton Oak, St. Helens, before Lower Darwen closed with 76084 leaving Lower Darwen on 5th. March 1965. All but one, 76082 which was scrapped in 1966, were subsequently transferred to Springs Branch, Wigan on the closure of Sutton Oak in June 1967.
After 10 years and eight months of service, 76084 was the last BR Mogul to be withdrawn from capital stock in December 1967 and was sentenced to languish at Woodham Brother’s Scrap Yard in Barry, Wales.
In mid October 1974, five members of the Hallamshire Railway Preservation Society from Sheffield spent a working weekend at Barry with a view to a purchase, and to prevent further decay painted her with red lead primer. However, it was in 1982 that Phil Rollin concluded his negotiations to buy 76084 for £7,500 and she left Woodham’s for a new life in South Leverton near Retford, Nottinghamshire. Phil placed 76084 in his back garden and gave her a cosmetic makeover. Sadly, Phil died in the early 1990's and the future of the locomotive became a little uncertain. She was bought from Phil's daughter by the 76084 Locomotive Company Limited and moved to Morpeth in Northumberland.
76084 was returned to steam in May 2013 and to traffic in July 2013 after a 16 year restoration programme. One of only four of this class to be restored, 111 having been scrapped, 76084 is Mainline Certified and has a boiler ticket that expires in 2023.

Nope, I'm not tearing down my Volvo NL12 unit. I did cut the chassis some time ago but just to give it another look. The chassis was still raised with Technic beam and I want to get rid of the Technic look of it. The axles will be renewed as well and will be much better detailed. No, this model is still a stayer. Have no reason to say goodbye to it yet!
Well he is kinda finished. I see a lot of things I could've done better. But I will alter him when I have time again.
I will sand his eyes a tad better for example. They are a tad bit grainy now. So it needs to be smoother.
But in the end I am happy with the result. He is the little snarling guy I wanted him to be, haha.

This is a very simple manipulation, but I am recently beginning to figure out that sometimes, less is more. I kind of wish I added more to this, but whenever I tried, it just didn't look the way I wanted it to. So this is what I settled with and I am very happy with how it turned out.
Model is the beautiful doll-faced Nina, with the hands (literally) of Mikolaj and Nina's twin sister, Emily. Also, a big thank-you to my friend Allie for letting me use her syringe.
*quick note: no model/hands were harmed in the making of this photograph. :)

Third mod; fewf!
Finally got his guy posted (long day of work), and glad to announce my third, and second-to-last mod.. so far. ;) This is another simpler mod, but still I think its' one of my favorites, nonetheless.
Let me know what you think! Once again I added inspiration, and I am very thankful of constructive criticism and thought-through feedback! Love to hear from everyone who's modded in the past!
Thanks, and let me know what you think!
Let the games begin...
In fact, I "hate" those classical landmarks (too crowded)...but I couldn't miss this special one. A couple of weeks ago, my son david learned about the Romans in school and he knew a lot more about the Colosseum than me or my wife did. So it was quite a big deal for him.
The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus, with further modifications being made during Domitian's reign (81–96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined because of damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.
The Colosseum's original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium, often anglicized as Flavian Amphitheater. The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, hence its original name, after the reign of Emperor Nero. This name is still used in modern English, but generally the structure is better known as the Colosseum. In antiquity, Romans may have referred to the Colosseum by the unofficial name Amphitheatrum Caesareum; this name could have been strictly poetic as it was not exclusive to the Colosseum; Vespasian and Titus, builders of the Colosseum, also constructed an amphitheater of the same name in Puteoli (modern Pozzuoli).
The name Colosseum has long been believed to be derived from a colossal statue of Nero nearby (the statue of Nero was named after the Colossus of Rhodes). This statue was later remodeled by Nero's successors into the likeness of Helios (Sol) or Apollo, the sun god, by adding the appropriate solar crown. Nero's head was also replaced several times with the heads of succeeding emperors. Despite its pagan links, the statue remained standing well into the medieval era and was credited with magical powers. It came to be seen as an iconic symbol of the permanence of Rome.
In the 8th century, a famous epigram attributed to the Venerable Bede celebrated the symbolic significance of the statue in a prophecy that is variously quoted: Quamdiu stat Colisæus, stat et Roma; quando cadet colisæus, cadet et Roma; quando cadet Roma, cadet et mundus ("as long as the Colossus stands, so shall Rome; when the Colossus falls, Rome shall fall; when Rome falls, so falls the world"). This is often mistranslated to refer to the Colosseum rather than the Colossus (as in, for instance, Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage). However, at the time that the Pseudo-Bede wrote, the masculine noun coliseus was applied to the statue rather than to what was still known as the Flavian amphitheatre.
The Colossus did eventually fall, possibly being pulled down to reuse its bronze. By the year 1000 the name "Colosseum" had been coined to refer to the amphitheatre. The statue itself was largely forgotten and only its base survives, situated between the Colosseum and the nearby Temple of Venus and Roma.
The name further evolved to Coliseum during the Middle Ages. In Italy, the amphitheatre is still known as il Colosseo, and other Romance languages have come to use similar forms such as le Colisée (French), el Coliseo (Spanish) and o Coliseu (Portuguese).

Slight modifications to Umarak. Moved his shoulders up, fiddled with the legs a bit, and gave him a bow that can both be "drawn back" with clicky joints, and be stored on his back. Easily my favourite Bionicle character so far (G1 included!).
A few more pictures of the rebuilt CB-95 - with the proper camera settings this time.
This is the most altered section of the Rockfish, with a fully closed command bridge, larger lower crew compartment and rebuilt upper deck and gun turret.
Last night I had some airbrushing to do for another doll, so I thought it would be quite easy to work on Marcus as well.
His face is still shiny. The paint isn't wet anymore, but it has a gloss of its own.
He needs a face-up next.
And I am going to work on his teeth and see if I can smoothen them some more.

Former Buchan Link Panther 54066 has returned to Buchan perhaps as cover for the impending program of works to modify the Interdecks to make them more friendly to less mobile passengers. The first interdeck, 54256 has now come off service with Buchan presumably for modification work.
Sister 54244 is seen here alongside First Enviro500 38223 which gives an idea of how high the seating is compared to the upperdeck of the decker.
One of the Buchan Express deckers recently worked the X17 and a passenger was told they would have to get off and catch the next bus because they were struggling to get up the stairs after the seats behind the driver were occupied.

You know what they say - If you can't solve the problem, use more guns. Sometimes the only thing that matters is the number. Sometimes the maths speak. For this, we push the limits, to make the cheapest possible guns, but without sacrificing quality.
Mk.63 Mod.0 ECARS - One rifle, one world
You know... Soldiers would never actually want a so-called, super-accurate rifle that could jam if one small piece of sand could get into their rifles, and would give him/her a lot of trouble even when disassembling. They would want to do less of that shit. They would prefer to have more fun in the battefield than cleaning their shit up. For this, Boskord got your back!
The Mark 63 is a wonderful weapon. It almost never overheats (if it does, that is YOUR fault)! Its barrel is easily-changeable thanks to the relatively simple gas system. Just hold the foregip, push it juuuust a little forward, and there ya go, barrel is free! Homever, you cannot fit it with any fancy RIS now. You just have only one rail, and that is for optics! Though you don't really need them anyway.
One of the biggest advantages of the rifle is that the user can actually carry and use more than one barrels! If your barrel overheats (which almost never happens), just swap a new one out from your backpack and replace your heated one with the fresh one! Easily done, also!
It is also unparalalled in reliability - Not even the AKs could hold out as long as this!
It can be also converted to several calibers. While standard modifications allow for only 7.92x39, 7.62x45 and unrimmed 7.62x54mm rounds, your master gunsmith should be able to fit it with any sort of cartridge (that is smaller than 7.62x54mm).
The stock is not replacable, as it holds the major recoil buffers. This allows you to fire almost any round with relative ease! It can be used as a sniper rifle, battle rifle, carbine AND a sniper rifle, all at the same time! Provided you have the necessary gear of course.
It is one of the cheapest, most efficient, most outperforming rifles to be known in the history. It is ordered by almost every single nation in the earth. It is a rifle that is even greater than the AK-series!
Our weapons are known to be made of cheap, easily-available and reliable material. With the swift, accurate and incredibly cheap power of the Boskord, you will rule the battlefield - All by the Turkish power!

Frustrated by the expensive and dangerous snow-travel machines produced by Llwyngwril Space Systems, spacemen started to improvise their own vehicles. They took the chassis from an 886 Space Buggy, spare manoeuvring thrusters from an LL918 Spaceship and attached them to a roughly welded frame. The resulting 886 Sledge Modification proved to be a cheap and popular form of transport, whilst the moon was covered in snow. It was safer than some of the other vehicles, as its thrusters could be used as brakes. Unfortunately steering was hampered by the law requiring all 886 drivers to hold a "definitely not a gun thing" in one hand, whilst piloting their vehicles.
Good friend silver-brazing on some modifications to a Tubus Tara rack of mine so the bags will actually stay on.
taken on the 21 dec 2012 in wiltshire uk...... Im not sure what these lines in the sky are but as you can see from the pictures they seemed to be pulling the spray left by the aircraft across the sky. As much as i dont like to believe it, i think weather modification is real and poses a great threat to all of us and life on earth in general as we all have to breathe the same air !.. The reason i post these pictures is to try and raise awareness as i feel that the more people that know about this, the more chance there is of putting an end to this complete madness !!! For those of you who have not heard of this before please research geo engineering, chemtrails, solar radiation management... Anyway thanks for looking at my pictures and thanks to all you guys who continue to post great pictures here on flickr.....
