The new rake of "Model Coaches" <3
Stunning coaches are made by the Rail Coach Factory, Nishatpura, Bhopal (WCR) are now ready to serve us and trials were completed today, ET WAP-4 #22885 was the power :-)
Benefits of these coaches are as follows :-
1) Fit for doing 130 kmph,
2) Jerk-Less seats,
3) Beautiful interiors,
4) LED lights for reading,
5) Bio-Toilets,
6) Charging points for mobile and laptop,
7) LED Display at destination boards.
This rake also contains old coaches from different zones like SE, CR, SW, NWR, ECoR, EC etc.
Let's see which train gets these coaches :-)
The commuter rake I debuted at Brickvention. I'll try to get better photos soon.
Thanks to talltim for help and James Mathis for the swivel wheels.

At the Nittany Antique Machinery Association Fall show at Penns Cave, PA on September 11, 2015.
Field stone is roughly 2 1/2 feet square and a foot thick. A forklift was used to place it. The gravel is fine crushed granite used for road beds - inexpensive and easily raked.
This is almost a camouflage shot with the patina of the rusty iron nearly merging with the background. I recently posted a weird and seldom seen implement, "Scrape the skies," at Ramey which was an old-time skid-type haying rake. This is an entirely different rake design and it's easy to see that this was designed to be hauled, first behind horses or oxen and later behind a tractor, possibly steam. The Ramey rake was a push rake that was used to skid across a previously mown pasture to pile the cut hay atop its tines. The gathered hay was transported to a Beaver slide and piled on a carrier at the bottom. A second draft animal would pull on ropes attached to pulleys and the carrier which itself would ascend the slide and dump the hay onto a stack over on the back side. The Beaver slide could be crudely built from local materials. At one time they were scattered about pastures in the West.
In fall, I drove out southwest of town and turned off the Diagonal Highway to Boulder to search for more flood destruction on Oxford Road then northwest of Niwot toward their cemetery. I caught this beside the road on the way to the cemetery. I kind of like the warm afternoon light that streams over the mountains. I just hit the partly open Golden Ponds and other local sites. I got caught up in a project chasing autumn leaves falling in a breeze. This at least qualifies for the color. We've had pretty good color and pretty good breezes but I never have hit both in the perfect "fall" this year. I'd say autumn shots are about gone by now.
Strangely, we had a summer that was closer to normal, if high in humidity, but I think ignoring climate change or pumping petroleum into the atmosphere won't make rougher weather go away. That is at least until the looming petroleum wars are settled and the Koch Brothers and their political tea investments are put away in their place. Until then, CO2 levels in the atmosphere which are at an 850 million year high, will not be turned around. Actually, all anti-fracking proposals passed in Colorado. Hope perhaps. I guess most of America has learned what can happen because climate change has weakened the jet stream this winter. I expect NO odds for the spring and summer weather.
A word of thanks the contractor involved who was raking in first cut silage near Castlelyons County Cork
This photo was taken off a dirt road that we followed to get a better view of Mount Hekla. The mountain was said to be very active expecting an eruption at any time.

We stayed for a night at the Shojoshin-in monastery.
The gravel in the court is raked daily.
Every panel of the wall of the main building is actually a sliding door.
I wondered about those ladders in every court that we saw. Perhaps, they are always at the ready in case of a fire?
"At more than hundred monasteries in Koya-san you can experience an overnight stay at a temple lodging (shukubo) where you can get a taste of a monk's lifestyle, eating vegetarian monk's cuisine (shojin ryori) and attending the morning prayers."
Like at any ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), at the monastery lodging you are provided with a yukata and a hanten to wear over the yukata for warmth.

William Hogarth's Rake was helping me make progress with my fall yard work when we decided it was time for a break!
We're Here! making artistic alterations for Art Bandits.
Horizontal construction workers Senior Airmen Brandon Johnson, 560th RED HORSE Squadron, and Staff Sgt. John Hedges, 628th Civil Engineer Squadron, spread gravel using metal rakes during a re-pavement job Sept. 10, 2014, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. RED HORSE Airmen work with 628th Civil Engineer Squadron Airmen throughout the year to assist with jobs around the base as well as to complete upgrade training for deployments.

One of those images that didn't quite turn out how I'd envisaged. Unfortunately due to loss of intensity there is a lack of stars and the odd gap in the reflection pool for this to have worked out as I had in mind!
there it is- 3 sets raked with reasonable ease. May still need to size up the clamp bolt, with something more course and stout, but I am very pleased.
