Someone mentioned the other day about the difficulties of recording the action on the West Sumatran rack railway centered on Padang Panjang.
Lack of trains, failures, high light, no light, rain and lineside access to the better locations were all issues to contend with. But it was fun.
In September 1978, one of seven 0-10-0T rack tanks that were serviceable slogs uphill between Kayutanam and Padang Panjang with empty coal hoppers.
The rack bag for this bike is being made by Swift Industries, here in Seattle. I'm looking forward to picking it up when it's done. It'll be way better than the ratty 15 year old Timbuk2 I've been using.
The rack is intended for lighter loads so I thought I'd experiment with struts running to braze on's halfway up the blades, instead of struts to the front dropouts, which is how I do it for the heavier duty racks that I make.
This is antique billiards table on display at Needful Things Antique Mall in Hendersonville, NC. I was more attracted to the vibrant colors in the felt and the balls than I was in the table itself. Thus the fairly tight composition.
Sunday early morning brings fog to Deshler, Oh., as CSXT 4748 leads a rack train north from Lima, Oh, and past classic B&O CPL's as it turns eastbound around the southeast wye bound for Walbrige, Oh.

ROCK YOUR RACK 2022

10th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
This year's sponsors include Blue Rose Creations, Cute N Cuddly Breedables, BOSLArts, Dark Star Radio, Designs by Soosy, Kultivate Music Management, LOPO District, and Fire Within.
Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, Equalizer Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, and XRadio SL.
This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.
Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure. And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 50+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
Break? Well yes, it was a bit shorter than anticipated....
This week I have a fence for you which is cunningly disguised as a bike rack. HFF to all and best wishes for a great weekend.

Remember when railroads liked their power to look clean? MILW 2005 and a sibling are being put through the wash rack at Savanna, IL in 1979.

I think I spent a major part of my college life in billiard halls... happy times.

A CSX auto rack train leans into the curve in downtown Beaver, Pennsylvania and prepares to cross the Ohio River on ex-P&LE rails.
I found this perfect garment rack for the dolls at a shop selling home decor items. I think it was intended to be a jewelry organizer but I thought it would be a perfect dolly sized garment rack! Apparently Agnes thinks so too! I made some hangers for her and voilà !!!!
These racks were powder coated. Wear marks after first 120 mile ride. Verdict: looks good, not so durable. It hasn't worn all the way through yet, that seems to be a long ways off. The powder coat was done by UV Metal Arts. UV did a great job.
Pilatus Bahnen AG: the Pilatus rack railway connects Alpnachstadt (440 meters above sea level) to the summit of Mount Pilatus (2,073 meters above sea level), with a 800 mm gauge single track and a length of 4.8 km. This is the steepest rack railway in the world, with a maximum gradient of 48%, and has some features that make it unique. It uses the Locher rack system with side pinions, since conventional rack-and-pinion systems with vertical pinions did not provide the safety of the gears tracing the rack on the strongest ramps. Due to the use of the Locher rack system, the wheels of the original steam railcars did not have flanges on the wheels at first, although later all the wheels were endowed with external flanges, and not inside flanges as is usual on all railways. Therefore, the switches are also not conventional, and instead of having moving parts, are enormous devices that move laterally, or are turned over.
The line was put into service on June 4, 1889, and electrification at 1550 V DC was put into service on May 15, 1937.
The service is currently provided with twelve railcars. In 1937 SLM and MFO built eight electric passengers railcars (numbers Beh 1/2 21-28). In 1954, SLM built a freight electric railcar (Ohe 1/2 31), although it is normally used as a passenger car after the construction of a body with the number 29 in 1962. In 1968 SLM built the last electric passengers railcar, the number Beh 1/2 30. Finally, in 1981 Stadler built the diesel departmental railcar Xhm 1/2 32.
The railway is operated by means of the "train package" system: two convoys are formed of several railcars that run in driving on sight mode between them. At the intermediate station of Ämsigen cross the ascending and descending convoys.
____________________________________________________
After crossing with the ascending convoy, and the change of position of the traverser, the first electric railcar of a downbound convoy continues their travel.
One of my proudest moments on a pool table was when I sunk all my balls in a row without giving my opponent a turn. Tina can vouch for me...she was there ;-) hehe!
This was obviously built as some sort of big box store, but I don't know what. The Nordstrom Rack store was a Filene's Basement right beforehand.
Sun Center was built in the mid-1990s and was anchored at the time by a Big Bear store, a Sun TV store, and some other store I am unsure of. The shopping center was named after the Sun Television and Appliance chain that went out of business in 1998.
