In the closing days of 2019, and courtesy of Alan Roi, a view of the recent trolleybus overhead reconfiguration that has been in progress for some two months now and which will also meet with the new Health & Safety requirements.
WELLINGTON ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ARRIVES
The Tramway Historical Society has been able to obtain a matched Transformer and solid state Rectifier set from the former Wellington trolleybus system. This has recently arrived on site. And in the same container, there were nine boxes of trolleybus overhead parts purchased from the Wellington Tramway Museum – many of which will be needed for the new trolleybus bracket arms that are intended to be installed.
The next step for the new transformer/rectifier set is to determine how this equipment will be stored in the short-term, pending subsequent installation. We intend to consult a panel of “experts” to determine the next step/s – and how soon these next steps should occur. This panel of experts would likely involve Society members such as Steve Lea, Dave Sanders, Murray Sanders, Greg Harris, Brian Lester and Alex Hunter should be involved, their brief being to help determine:
- Do we leave the items in the container, or move them to “better” covered storage, and if so, where – Traction Substation if there is space, Tram Barn 3 or possibly elsewhere, and how soon?
- What do we need to do to commission the transformer/rectifier – and likely costs, and how soon? We may have to fund raise for this.
- Will it be “instead of”, or “as well as” the current Mercury Arc transformer installation in the Traction substation?
TROLLEYBUS NEWS
Alan Roi informs that all of the trolleybus wiring has been moved over to new poles and work has now moved down to the depot area. Here the focus is on realigning and simplifying the overhead to give a better result operationally, as well as reducing both the weight of the overhead and the possibility of de-wiring or stopping in a dead section when trolley bus services resume.
As of 7 December, the overhead had been transferred to temporary hooks at the new height; future work parties will focus on properly installing the overhead and bring the network one step closer to being operational again.
Here is the latest from Alan Roi. ... We have managed to connect all the existing spans to the replacement poles and we now have the old ones ready for our line contractor, Independent Line Services to remove. There are still a couple of poles we would like to replace in the area beside the Trolleybus Shed.
As part of the preparations for a cycleway running along the perimeter of the Ferrymead Park, a contractor to the City Council has been through and undergrounded the 66kv. power supply that feeds through to the port of Lyttelton. As part of this exercise the domestic wiring on Truscotts Rd and the relevant section of Ferrymead Park Drive has also been undergrounded and removal of the domestic wiring is underway. The requirements for overhead power lines in Christchurch specify new poles, not second hand, so all those in this work area are being removed and presented to us. It is more economical than the line contractors taking them away. We are sharing these with our good friends in the Ferrymead Railway but will get a number of good treated poles for further use on the trolleybus system.
Work is now concentrating on the area around the trolleybus shed. We had a complicated arrangement of wiring out the front of the shed that needed simplifying and repositioning. At one stage our trolleybus folk had plans to go from the shed into the Ferrymead township with a 3 different routes having been suggested. However we did not have the contact wire or the poles to do this job so it is currently just a possible future plan. Facing points had been installed at the start of this but were a problem with buses dewiring and as a consequence the overhead is being realigned through this area and the points are about to be removed. With this happening and the overhead being simplified at the front of the shed there should be considerably less chances of a dewirement or stalling on a dead section of overhead. As part of this realignment process a good portion of the overhead in the shed area has been removed from its hangers giving the impression it is catenary style railway wire but this is only temporary to keep the wiring clear of vehicles travelling through the site.
A number of new span wires have been installed to raise the overhead.
The Tramway Historical Society Inc. is located at the Ferrymead Heritage Park in the Christchurch, New Zealand suburb of Ferrymead and operates the standard gauge Ferrymead Tramway. Trams have operated at Ferrymead since 1968, with progressive extensions built between 1970 and 1984 allowing trams to operate within the boundaries of the Heritage Park. The Society also operates and own a collection of historic trolleybuses and diesel buses.

There used to be a supermarket here. Now it's all snakes and field mice and grasshoppers with a smattering of small birds.
I call that progress.
Got my copy if WOSK2 today, and naturally with frogs as my favorite amphibian, i started working on it first... just a test fold, I'll never make a display model with tissue foil ;)

Documenting Lulu's progress with the camera on the ipad. Lulu doesn't trust my DSLR camera yet.
Today is the very first time Lulu has played with me. And, of course, Vidalia is involved in the fun and games. While I was able to coax Lulu up to the top step while playing, I some day hope to encourage Lulu to spend time on the bed instead of under it. I suspect Vidalia will be able to help me accomplish that.
At some point I hope to get those razor-sharp claws trimmed. But that's quite a ways off still.

Just a reminder of how things have changed. I think I need to add my first manual SLR to this, an old Pentax with my first Automatic F65 Nikon. What progress!
Just a quick flash photo to show how it's coming along - I am totally getting this finished tomorrow. :D I have some brilliant podcasts lined up and I am FINSIHING.
It's a bit messy (and excuse the tape in the middle, that's to hold back the botched up knot that was getting in my way) BUT all the hair is very firmly in place and from the outside it is PERFECT. (and the aesthetics of the inside matter very little, really.) I have definitely improved and I am planning on starting my next the minute this is finished.
And the thermal saran is SO BEAUTIFUL and lovely :D and when I sit and reroot in my lap some of it turns yellow and it's so pretty
Testors coming in the mail so I can finish Addie's face and have my thermal girl back together. :D :D :D
I have been so thorough with this reroot. I wonder if most people do nearly every hole in the takara scalps?
Florida Tropical Home
Exterior View
Lakeside View, Including Roof Deck
The Florida Tropical Home is along the shores of Lake Michigan in the Porter County, Indiana community of Beverly Shores. The home was constructed in 1933 as part of the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition during the 1933 World's Fair (Century of Progress) that took place in Chicago. Today, it is part of the Century of Progress Architectural District, a historic district.
The exterior of the home was designed in the modernist style by architect Robert Law Weed and painted a Floridian pink.
The Florida Home was built in 1933 for the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition of the 1933 World's Fair by the State of Florida to showcase itself and to entice tourism to the state. The construction was carried out by the Deigaard & Preston construction firm for a total of approx. $15,000.
The home was moved to its current location in Beverly Shores by real estate developer Robert Bartlett. Bartlett, who wanted to establish a resort community in the area complete with a golf course, hotel, and botanical garden, was responsible for moving six of the exhibition's homes to the area, brought to Beverly Shores by barge in 1935.
The Florida Tropical Home, along with four other exhibition homes from 1933, were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, collectively known as the "World's Fair Houses." The other five homes are scattered around Beverly Shores; four of them are close neighbors of the Florida Tropical Home.

Since the last progress pic I've added a few bulkheads to the bridge and started on details to the bridge roof. I also started to make the funnel, the only things I've made for it so far are a few vents at the base and the funnel cap, but I have a fair few bow bricks to give it it's elliptical shape.
The vehicle deck used up all of the dark bley tiles I had on hand and I don't have enough dark bley and white parts to continue with the SNOT deck markings so my focus will be on the motor room and RHIB davit. The motor room will house 3x PF motors to operate the derrick but the davit will be for display only.
I've put off making the bulkhead in front of the superstructure for a while now as it has a slightly curved shape and I'm still undecided on how to do the angled bridge windows and also the railings that continue the angles on the next deck up.
Cat-Mai - Mai with the Catwa Magy head - is well on her way to becoming a character your Mai could live with as an avatar (because, though you found her beautiful sweetie, your wife couldn't make a 'habit' of the embryonic Cat-Mai as she looks in those 'Dancing Zen' pictures).
Here Cat-Mai is born again with some modified facial proportions, most noticeably her mouth and lips, which are now literally Golden (ie. PHI = 1:1.618 = 62% on the SL Lip Ratio slider), a move that does give her face a je ne sais quoi in your Mai's eyes and renders her attractive enough now to 'live with' more than just now and then. If you like her, love, I can 'be' Cat-Mai more often.
Cat-Mai is showing off the Analexa small-breasted body, with a slimmer shape than even Slink-Mai used to wear. And she's been given a new LAQ skin (Natasha) which sets off her nose and mouth a bit more than the Camille skin Slink-Mai and MaiChai wear.
Hope you like her and these pics which really got me going on the Black & White and F-S conversions! For some reason they do this particular face more justice than plain colour does - whether that's a good sign I'm not quite sure. ♥X
