GBRf 'Shed' unit 66734 'Platinum Jubilee' rolls slowly into Carlisle station for the scheduled crew change on the 7.11am Mossend - Clitheroe Castle (4M01) discharged cement tanks.
The exceptionally fine roof here was the subject of a £14.5m renovation 5-6 years ago where the traditional glass panes (which would occasionally fall to the platform due to distortion in the roof trusses) were replaced by polymer material, and the roofing structure generally strengthened.
The result is remarkable to say the least with a much brighter and more pleasant environment than the one I remember from previous visits. Formerly known as Carlisle Citadel station, it was built between 1846 and 1848 at a cost of £53,000 and, externally at least, was designed by William Tite to be sympathetic to the Citadel located close by.
Comments off for this one, thanks.

This is another one of my favourites. Each disk is completely hollow like a little box. The wire is inside and cannot be seen on the reverse. The outside on both sides are completely textured.

In other words, this is one of the places where some of the world plastic comes from...
Naphtha (oil derivate) is the precursor and production facts are as flollows:
- PEBD (low-density polyethylene) 145 Kton/y = plastic bags
- PEAD (high-density polyethylene) 150 Kton/y = plastic jugs

Polymer Clay Pendant (diameter 40mm) is made with circle cutter from leftovers I had from an other project.
Polymer Clay - black base and silver frame with Lazertran Silk transfers on polymer clay tiles. Wheel with recycled star.
This is straight off the bench - part of my American Crewel series. Polished and buffed on the wheel. No glaze. Still perfecting this series.
Polymer Clay Beads
I've made a folded cane, which I like very much, and combined the beads with some textured beads.
Polymer clay elephant brooch pretending to be vintage laces. Looking at him, a have a "home sweet home" feeling. And you?
My hubby said these reminded him of Alladdin's lamp - so that's what I'm calling them.
They all get a thin coating of liquid polymer and then shined up even more on the wheel.
The big ones are about the size of a regular spool of thead.
Some silly animal pins..."Mini-Lizzie" , "Catlets" , "Painted Lady" , "Silly Fish", and "Kookaburras, the birds." The Kookaburras still need their little headresses.
Remember that old song from when we were kids: "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree. Merry, merry king of the bushes, he. Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, gay your life must be."
Always loved that ditty - still sing it all the time.
