Many of the trackside trees and shrubs have now been removed as the new shopping development takes shape alongside the approach to Rawtenstall station on the ELR. They used to provide an attractive backdrop to photos taken in either direction on that stretch.
Hughes/Fowler 'Crab' 2-6-0 No. 13065 drifts towards Rawtenstall on 3 April 2017.
Hey Guys!
It's been a long time since I last posted, I've been incredibly busy. Recently things started to calm down, so I can finally do Lego related stuff again!
Please leave your thoughts and any suggestions in the comments!
Thanks!

Man and nature's work in progress, or something profound like that. The trees are in their autumn beauty, as my mate Bill used to observe. A quick play with my Sony Xperia Z5, still testing it out. This was the first proper sunlight since I got it.
since i had my power out the last couple days i had some time to sit by the fireplace and work on paper piecing the double wedding ring!! only one more section!

In 1986 a twin-car set consisting of trailer no 682 and motor car no 672 reverses in the centre road at North Pier. The conductor has just re-positioned the trolley pole.
This set is now part of Blackpool's heritage fleet and the cars have regained their original numbers - 272 and T2 - and original cream livery.
I have been making some journals and little books lately ,here is a pic of some in various stages of progress.
I've been taking pictures of myself to see my weight loss & keep me motivated. Week 1 picture is very embarrassing & I stopped wearing clothes like this when I got to this weight.

1872
"This depiction of American Progress captured a common belief in the 'manifest destiny' of Anglo Americans to rule and civlize the New World. Commissioned in 1872 from a New York artist, it appeared in a popular magazine that celebrated the railroads. The central figure wears the 'Star of Empire' and carries a book symbolizing education and enlightenment. From her other hand, telegraph wires 'flash intelligence [information] through the land.' Peace reigns, the years of civi war are over. The partially completed Brooklyn Bridge represents the powerful cities in the East as white Americans and railroads bring progress to the West. The conquest of the American Indians seems assured, though the wars still raged."
From "Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion" at the Oregon Historical Society.
It's important to note that to get to the west coast, Ms. Manifest Destiny is going to have to trot across an enormous* amount of land that was part of Mexico until 1848, when the United States took it in a base act of territorial expansion through war. And before that, the land had belonged to Native Americans.
*The United States contains 900,000 square miles of land that used to be Mexico, about equal in size to Western Europe, according to Wikipedia.
I made some progress yesterday and it is actually looking like the pattern!! yahooo!! I still can't believe I am really knitting...ha ha!

I made some good progress the last week. the upper part of the ship also needs to have LEDs installed.
After a few days' work (on and off, not constant!), this is how far I've progressed on the bargain Michèle Wilson wooden jigsaw puzzle . As you can see, I've more or less completed the aviary and now have the greenery to assemble. I have a feeling that the hardest part is yet to come...
The push fit makes it slow going: every time I insert a piece it dislodges all the ones around it.
So far it seems to be complete, but only time will tell.
I downloaded a copy of the image which has helped enormously, if only so I can check that I'm on the right track.
I can understand why this puzzle ended up in a charity shop, it's a stinker!
Mike's working on a 1000pc (cardboard) mini-puzzle while I'm assembling this one, I have a feeling he'll finish first!
Some of you may recall me posting a couple of shots this time last year of the Solido model of a bus with so much wrong with how it was finished? As bought second hand, it purported to be RT3224 in the livery of London Country, who never ran it, on a mixture of Green Line route 704 and Country route 406, neither of which it ever ran on. Well, here’s the model outshopped as RT3183, in correct LT Country Area finish, bearing blinds for route 409 which that vehicle could have run on since it was allocated to Godstone garage. There is indeed an RT in preservation outshopped like this. Still work to do - e.g. indicators - but at least it’s now more authentic. This (if it works) is a link to last January’s posting: flic.kr/p/2eiTui2
in progress, about 6" x 16"
i'm pretty much finished with the face, but what should i do with the rest of it?!
All that's left is track belts and a couple more parts to fill gaps. Nearly done, and ready for an improved script.
