This was the first Streetcar we saw when we entered the Halton County Radial Railway Museum on Saturday. The condition of the car indicates that it has been sitting outside for many years at the mercy of the weather. Only the doors have the original paint left on them, as the rest has rusted off the body. The doors were locked, and the interior of the car was gutted. HCRR seems to have no plans on restoration, though their website indicates they did at some point.

The original photo of this car when it was delivered to HCRR can be found here www.hcry.org/collection_1947_4386.html

Rust

Rusted Gate Handle. I thought the rust colors with the shadows of the metal were so interesting. Asolo, Italy. Color photography by Donna Corless.

My car is limping, Dolores Haze,

And the last long lap is the hardest,

And I shall be dumped where the weed decays,

And the rest is rust and stardust.

Get Back

Got to love Billy Talent. Have "rusted from the rain" stuck on my mind.

Rust on the steel sheet

I loved the pattern in this old rusted metal barn.

The ideal is to find things that have rusted naturally, but that’s not always possible. I decided to try a new rust effect product on some items laying around the house, to see what would happen. As you can see this rust effect product works very well on plastic, wood or even glass. Also possible to paint with it. Have a good fun.

It’s a beautiful day in NYC today. I’ve got the day off and I spent a little time in the backyard just enjoying the weather. This shot was taken while relaxing out back.

My rust-removal tub. A modified computer power supply that I use as a 12v DC regulated power supply and a tub of sodium bicarbonate solution. Connect the rusty part to (-) and connect a piece of steel to (+), turn on the power and watch it fizz.
