Always look at the Outer Harbour Marina from Tommy Thompson Park - now get to see the Park from the marina. Boats will soon shed their winter covers and the slips will be full.
CLP16 at Outer Harbor - taken just on sunset, Wednesday 10 February 2016.
The former Commonwealth Railways took delivery of 17 EMD-powered CL class locomotives from Clyde Engineering between 1970-1972.
Ownership was transferred to Australian National in 1978 and fifteen years later the class was re-manufactured by Morrison Knudsen Australia into two sub-classes - CLP/CLF.
In the privatisation era ownership of the class was ultimately split between Genesee & Wyoming Australia and Aurizon. The Aurizon units are all stored, unlikely to run again, while six remain in service with GWA.

“This is artist’s concept of ion rocket vehicle for flight in outer space. As big as present missiles, vehicle would be propelled through vacuum of space at thousands of miles an hour by a few pounds of thrust. Discharge of ionized particles--rather than gas as in conventional rockets--would provide propulsive force. Nuclear reactor would generate power for ionization. Wing-shaped attachments to vehicle are radiators to reject excess heat. Direction would be controlled by swiveling rockets.”
A ca. 1959 Rocketdyne ad depicts the same rendition of the spacecraft nearing the planet Mars.
Beautiful artwork by the amazing yet unheralded Sol Dember:
“Artist Sol Dember died July 23, 2011 in a car accident, however, his passing just recently became known within the SF community.
He began as a scientific illustrator, specializing in astronomical paintings. When Dember was an art director for Rockwell Scientific he drew over 500 illustrations of space vehicles, machinery and surfaces of imaginary planets.
He did SF art for Galaxy, IF and Worlds of Tomorrow in the 1950s and 1960s.
His work also appeared in encyclopedias, dictionaries, books, magazines, greeting cards and record jackets.”

Again, if the above is anywhere near accurate, then the following is sad & very disappointing, unless intentional. Maybe not my place then, however, an immensely talented, prolific & CONTRIBUTING artist over many years, and this is it???
If not intentional, this is wrong, especially since his death was the result of an accident:

Rest in Peace Mr. Dember. THANK YOU.
The Outer Banks is a 200-mile-long string of narrow peninsulas and barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina and a small portion of Virginia, beginning in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east coast of the United States. They cover most of the North Carolina coastline, separating the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.
