Pushing coal from the Huangcunjin mine at Shibanxi, Sichuan Province, China. The mine has now shut, the steam hauled coal trains are no more, but the narrow gauge railway has re-invented itself as a tourist line, with brightly coloured locomotives. So now it's probably best to shoot your pictures in black and white. December 2008. © Photo - David Hill.
The changing face of Cardiff city centre. The area around Central station is in the process of being totally transformed. Marland House in Central Square is now boarded up, and one by one the other shops and businesses that form part of the building are closing.
I've been visiting Tested.com for a few months now and I thoroughly enjoy watching Adam Savage and company build all manner of geeky goodness. Imagine my surprise when I log on and find a video of Adam building Jason Allemann's breathtaking Sisyphus Kinetic Sculpture! I had a perma-grin. Until he said "Legos" and used a tiny handsaw on it. The Horror!
Long Story, Short. It inspired me to try my hand at building an automata. Initially, I was going to build a scene with a hapless jungle explorer being eaten by a crocodile. That one ended up being a bit too complex for my current skill level. So I settled for a much simpler design.
The model is powered by either the hand crank or the built-in motor. Just like Jason's, switching between the motor and the crank is as simple as sliding a gear out.
Eagle-eyed FOL's may have noticed that Patrick bears a striking resemblance to Jason's Sisyphus figure. That is because I'm rubbish at building characters. So I borrowed the design and made the needed modifications and aesthetic changes. Hopefully Jason won't mind!
Edit: As promised, here is the LDD file for the model. Enjoy!

On the 29th April 2019 the 'Svitzer Ferriby' (2005) assists the 'CMA CGM Jules Verne' from Southampton. Svitzer try to give tugs names local to the first port of operation but fleet moves mean tugs often end up a long way from the local feature they were named after.
CA: Una de les peculiritats dels InterCity's alemanys és l'ús de llargues composicions Push-pull en molts serveis. En aquest cas, un IC, la ruta del qual desconec, entra a Heidelberg Hbf.
Sometimes a little people power is required to get the job done. When the two boxcars wouldn't roll far enough to complete the run-around move the conductor had to step in and provide the muscle.
