He has a body now! But still no hair...
Peverell "Papa" Paloux asks Henri how he is progressing with his skills at Cafe Paloux, under the supervison of Pierre as Danielle lends a supportive hand on Peverell's shoulder.
95% of the body repairs required have now been completed on Stockport 403, though there's still a little more painstaking work left removing blisters from the recessed steel window pans and paint removal from window rubbers. Flatting work has commenced to the panels which aren't to be replaced and a re-paint isn't far off. A replacement engine supplied with the bus has now been fitted and hopefully an MoT will soon be booked...
The bus last worked at Weston Super Mare on a sea front heritage service for Rexquote Heritage from Taunton, (which later became Quantock Motor Services.)
Cob walls require a wide foundation, and solid ground, hence the trench for the foundation is so wide. A high fly ash (40%) concrete was used to limit the amount of Portland Cement.

My traveling letterpress printshop is starting to take shape!
Currently housing Sigwalt Chicago #9, an unidentified 8pt all-caps serif font, silver and bronze powder, boxed roller (courtesy of Fedir Shulga), a tube of black ink (Dave Robinson rocks), some spaces and furniture.
Still to be done: more restrains for the cast-iron press, an imposing stone, place for a hand brayer, a recess for securing the inkdisk, a carrying harness, small composing stick, oil and kerosene bottles.
Tramping in style!
To help keep myself motivated, a visual of where I am, and where I have to go.
I also wanted to reassure myself of my color choices for Rosette Two.
Now as Christian was walking solitary by himself, he espied one afar off come crossing over the field to meet him; and their hap was to meet just as they were crossing the way of each other. The gentleman’s name that met him was Mr. Worldly Wiseman: he dwelt in the town of Carnal Policy, a very great town, and also hard by from whence Christian came. This man then, meeting with Christian, and having some inkling of him, (for Christian’s setting forth from the city of Destruction was much noised abroad, not only in the town where he dwelt, but also it began to be the town-talk in some other places)—Mr. Worldly Wiseman, therefore, having some guess of him, by beholding his laborious going, by observing his sighs and groans, and the like, began thus to enter into some talk with Christian.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: How now, good fellow, whither away after this burdened manner?
Christian: A burdened manner indeed, as ever I think poor creature had! And whereas you ask me, Whither away? I tell you, sir, I am going to yonder wicket-gate before me; for there, as I am informed, I shall be put into a way to be rid of my heavy burden.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: Hast thou a wife and children?
Christian: Yes; but I am so laden with this burden, that I cannot take that pleasure in them as formerly: methinks I am as if I had none.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: Wilt thou hearken to me, if I give thee counsel?
Christian: If it be good, I will; for I stand in need of good counsel.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: I would advise thee, then, that thou with all speed get thyself rid of thy burden; for thou wilt never be settled in thy mind till then: nor canst thou enjoy the benefits of the blessings which God hath bestowed upon thee till then.
Christian: That is that which I seek for, even to be rid of this heavy burden: but get it off myself I cannot, nor is there any man in our country that can take it off my shoulders; therefore am I going this way, as I told you, that I may be rid of my burden.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: Who bid thee go this way to be rid of thy burden?
Christian: A man that appeared to me to be a very great and honorable person: his name, as I remember, is Evangelist.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: I beshrew him for his counsel! there is not a more dangerous and troublesome way in the world than is that into which he hath directed thee; and that thou shalt find, if thou wilt be ruled by his counsel. Thou hast met with something, as I perceive, already; for I see the dirt of the Slough of Despond is upon thee: but that slough is the beginning of the sorrows that do attend those that go on in that way. Hear me; I am older than thou: thou art like to meet with, in the way which thou goest, wearisomeness, painfulness, hunger, perils, nakedness, sword, lions, dragons, darkness, and, in a word, death, and what not. These things are certainly true, having been confirmed by many testimonies. And should a man so carelessly cast away himself, by giving heed to a stranger?
Christian: Why, sir, this burden on my back is more terrible to me than are all these things which you have mentioned: nay, methinks I care not what I meet with in the way, if so be I can also meet with deliverance from my burden.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: How camest thou by thy burden at first?
Christian: By reading this book in my hand.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: I thought so; and it has happened unto thee as to other weak men, who, meddling with things too high for them, do suddenly fall into thy distractions; which distractions do not only unman men, as thine I perceive have done thee, but they run them upon desperate ventures, to obtain they know not what.
Christian: I know what I would obtain; it is ease from my heavy burden.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: But why wilt thou seek for ease this way, seeing so many dangers attend it? especially since (hadst thou but patience to hear me) I could direct thee to the obtaining of what thou desirest, without the dangers that thou in this way wilt run thyself into. Yea, and the remedy is at hand. Besides, I will add, that instead of those dangers, thou shalt meet with much safety, friendship, and content.
Christian: Sir, I pray open this secret to me.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: Why, in yonder village (the village is named Morality) there dwells a gentleman whose name is Legality, a very judicious man, and a man of a very good name, that has skill to help men off with such burdens as thine is from their shoulders; yea to my knowledge, he hath done a great deal of good this way; aye, and besides, he hath skill to cure those that are somewhat crazed in their wits with their burdens. To him, as I said, thou mayest go, and be helped presently. His house is not quite a mile from this place; and if he should not be at home himself, he hath a pretty young man to his son, whose name is Civility, that can do it (to speak on) as well as the old gentleman himself: there, I say, thou mayest be eased of thy burden; and if thou art not minded to go back to thy former habitation, (as indeed I would not wish thee,) thou mayest send for thy wife and children to this village, where there are houses now standing empty, one of which thou mayest have at a reasonable rate: provision is there also cheap and good; and that which will make thy life the more happy is, to be sure there thou shalt live by honest neighbors, in credit and good fashion.
Now was Christian somewhat at a stand; but presently he concluded, If this be true which this gentleman hath said, my wisest course is to take his advice: and with that he thus farther spake.
Christian: Sir, which is my way to this honest man’s house?
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: Do you see yonder high hill?
Christian: Yes, very well.
Mr. Worldly Wiseman: By that hill you must go, and the first house you come at is his.

Had this portrait been taken in 1964 rather than 2014, this indeed would have been Western Progress. By 1964, the ex-GW system north of Aynho Junction was firmly in the grasp of the rival London Midland region, but the Western had left it's mark.
Banbury's ramshackle wooden station had been replaced by a spanking new brick, concrete and glass structure in 1958, the King class locomotives were ousted from duty by Westerns and Warships, mark 1's and 2's were taking over from Great Western Clerestory stock.
50 years on and Banbury thrives. Chiltern Railways have considerable presence in the town as the Birmingham Mainline gains ever more traffic and riders. Even the locomotive hauled train survives with more to come as Chiltern increases it's use of the 67 hauled mk3 Silver sets on Birmingham services.
Still, it can never harm to review what's been and gone. And what better way than riding in a PV early mk2 with twin Maybach's providing the power?
The Chiltern Champion waits to head back to Marylebone with D1015 at the helm. Champion? I'll say...

And before anyone starts, I'm aware the Turbo unit behind wouldn't be there in 1964. It's a class 117 DMU really. Just use your imagination eh? :D
ISS030-E-047156 (23 Jan. 2012) --- The unpiloted ISS Progress 45 supply vehicle departs from the International Space Station at 5:10 p.m. (EST) on Jan. 23, 2012. Filled with trash and discarded items, Progress 45 was later deorbited, subsequently burning up in Earth's atmosphere. The departure of Progress 45 clears the way for the next unpiloted supply ship, Progress 46, which is set to launch at 6:06 p.m. (EST) on Jan. 25 (5:06 a.m. Baikonur time Jan. 26) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan bringing 2.9 tons of food, fuel and supplies for the residents of the space station.
