Plandampf (replacing timetabled trains with steam hauled trains) over a weekend in 2005, centred on the town of Landau, Germany. Normal railway tickets are purchased to ride the trains, which are shared by bewildered locals having to endure packed, unheated old carriages to make their normal journeys.
Warm, dry temperatures overnight help us replace large concrete panels on Interstate 5 between Olympia and Tacoma. It also takes a large maintenance crew. Our workers from Lakewood use a heavy metal roller to smooth out a newly poured concrete panel.

Day 1: Jeff got the cheeze slicers from Walmart and replaced the springs. He said something about using a spring from a Zippo lighter. I think that you should gather lots of springs and try them all out. Pick the ones that you like. After each cut facet, he carefully cleaned the facetting wire of any clay.
The stock feet has a diameter of 12mm and height of 5mm. Replaced with 18mm x 10mm.

I took the opportunity to replace the front bump stops before the wings went back on. I used the clamp and freeze method to get them to a manageable size. Each one "sucked" into place with little effort.
Replaced original to fix color balance. Was too blue. Now you get better sense of Stretchs's color.
Not content to merely having 2 cats after losing our previous siblings Sam and Sofia, Stella our little girl was left alone so we first adopted Sadie and then having two girls in the house we then figured we needed a boy to round things out. Stretch is happy to be with us, but the girls are not happy to have him in the house. Right now things are very noisy.
If you have a lot lot experience in integrating new cats drop me a line.
There might be a necessity for the exchange because the rope is damaged easily naturally in humid Japan.
Container ship, Thames Haven
Taken on an excursion cruise on the paddle steamer Waverley, travelling from Westminster to Gravesend to Southend, into the Medway and back again.
Waverley is named after Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley novels. She was built to replace the 1899 Waverley which was sunk by enemy action on May 29, 1940 at Dunkirk.
Waverley’s keel was laid on December 27, 1945 but due to material shortages after the war, she was not ready for launch until October 2, 1946. It wasn’t until the following year on January 20, 1947 that she was towed to Greenock for the installation of her boiler and engines. Her maiden voyage was on June 16, 1947.
Waverley was built for the route up Loch Goil and Loch Long from Craigendoran & Arrochar in West Scotland. She now visits several areas of the UK offering regular trips on the Clyde, The Western Isles, the Thames, South Coast of England and the Bristol Channel with calls at Liverpool & Llandudno.
Waverley is the World’s last seagoing paddle steamer. In 1974, at the end of her working life, she was famously gifted for £1 to the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society. Waverley Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., a charity registered in Scotland, was set up to own and operate the ship. Waverley then began a second career as one of the country’s best-loved tourist attractions. Since she has been in operational preservation, she has been awarded four stars by Visit Scotland, an engineering heritage award, and has carried over 6 million passengers from over 60 ports around the UK.
2003 saw the completion of a £7m Heritage Rebuild which returned Waverley to the original 1940s style in which she was built. This was made possible with major grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS). Contributions also came from Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, the European Regional Development Fund and local authorities.
In May 2019 Waverley was withdrawn from service and a capital appeal was launched to raise £2.3 million to allow her boilers to be replaced and re-commission Waverley for further service. In December 2019 it was announced that the appeal target had been reached.
Despite delays to the boiler refit due to the COVID-19 pandemic Waverley returned to service in August 2020 and operated a short season on the Firth of Clyde. After a successful season on the Clyde the following year, Waverley will be returning to other sailing areas in 2022.
2022 marked 75 years since Waverley’s maiden voyage on June 16, 1947.
Paddle steamer history
In 1812, when Henry Bell’s paddle steamer Comet became the world’s first commercial steamship to operate in coastal waters, a tradition was started which remains alive today only in the form of the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, Waverley.
From the 1860’s onward, paddle steamers developed an important niche in the coastal passenger and excursion trade. Large fleets served the cities, towns, villages and resorts of the Firth of Clyde, the Bristol Channel, the South Coast of England, London and the Thames Estuary.
Paddle Steamers also made a significant contribution to the war effort as minesweepers in both World Wars, and indeed Waverley is named after and was built to replace the previous Waverley who performed a heroic role at Dunkirk in May 1940 before being sunk by enemy action.
With a few exceptions, the Clyde steamers were owned and operated by railway companies. These were largely commuter ferries linking all the villages with the nearest railhead for onward travel.

6-inch Mk.VII Gun Emplacement constructed in 1941 using reinforced concrete and iron throughout, with an anti-strafing protective cover. It replaced and almost totally removed the 1901 6-inch BL gun emplacement, while re-using its magazine and shelter, it partially superseded a pillbox.
The casemate is a rectangular wall 9ft 8in high extending around part of the sides and the rear of the gun emplacement, and entered through a simple opening in the west or rear wall. Against the northern side it includes a small rectangular room, measuring 8ft x 4ft, reached through a doorway 3ft wide x 5ft 11in high. The door opened outward. The room probably received and directed electric and hydraulic power to the gun and emplacement, a continuous channel in the floor leads around the room and out into the gun pit. Scars on the walls are probably from shelving, power boxes and coat hooks.
The casemate roof is an anti-strafing cover, comprising a framework of iron girders supporting a roof of 3ft square x 3in thick concrete-asphalt tiles. The upright girders holding the roof are carried on small concrete pads. Along the back wall of the casemate are five recessed ready-use ammunition lockers, two of which abut the sides of the pillbox. Measuring on average 3ft 3in wide, 3ft 1in deep x 3ft 1in high, the recesses have metal frames for outward opening double doors, one is labelled ''CARTRIDGE''
The gun emplacement itself is reached by two upward flights of steps at the northern and southern ends of the casemate. The rear of the emplacement contains five recessed lockers for ready-use ammunition, measuring on average, 3ft 3in wide, 3ft 1in deep x 2ft 11in high. Several heavy-duty metal frames for outward-opening double metal doors, and at least one is labelled ''SHEL''. A drainage gully runs around the outside of the emplacement. The emplacement defines a circular gun pit 24ft 7in in diameter and 5ft 3in deep, partly covered by a platform supported on concrete pillars leaving a central circular aperture, 13ft 1in wide, for mounting of the 6-inch Mk.VII gun. The heavy holdfast bolts in the base of the gun pit are offset in two concentric circles of 7ft 3in and 7ft 4in diameter.
The channel bringing the power to the gun, rebated for metal covers, runs into the gun pit through a gap in the emplacement, 2ft 5in wide, in the north-west corner. This gun was sited on the edge of the promontory overlooking the Haven. Such was the potential of instability of the site that the emplacement has been strengthened with six tires of roughly concentric concrete buttressing, such that it resembles a ''wedding cake'' when viewed from a distance. The buttressing, which is visible in aerial photographs dated 1944, has not prevented the appearance of large cracks in the structure.
Behind the casemate to the west, but offset southward from its entrance, is a covered corridor, 33ft 1in long x 6ft 0.5in wide internally. It is lit partly by natural light at high level in the north wall by three six-light windows, each 1ft 8in wide x 1ft 2in high. At the far end the south wall is carried around the shaft of an ammunition lift from the magazine below, accessed through an opening in the wall, 5ft 10in x 5ft 5indeep, with a shelf 1ft 7in wide projecting into the corridor at waist level. An electric light bracket survives above the lift. Brickwork in the lift opening is a late feature. Ammunition would have been unloaded and taken along the corridor on wheeled trolleys to the ready-use ammunition lockers in the casemate. An external sign on the northern wall denotes the most recent military designation of the gun ''A3 EMPLACEMENT''.
The four original standoffs broke off during shipping. This shows the replacements. The wiring at upper right is original and was cut before I received the unit.

Dismantling about 1/2 Billion ?
Ferrari replaced the gorgeous but aging 599 Fiorano with the superb looking F12 Berlinetta in 2012. Taking its place at the top of the range of the Ferrari family, the F12 was endowed with a wonderful sounding naturally aspirated 6,3-litre V12 producing 740 PS. A 7-speed dual-clutch automated semi-automatic gearbox was the only transmission offered as Ferrari ditched manual gearboxes for most of its models.
273 replaced 29Q in the great renumbering of 2022. At first, it was identical, but then some domestic containers (mostly JB Hunt) started showing up. Then the long string of auto racks that uses to be on the rear disappeared. This left a double stack only.
