Seeing the United 747 come in today, I wish they'd have spent a few bucks and sent the old Queens out in style in the scheme shown above or the old Stars and Bars or Saul Bass. Anyway at least they're doing something.
Here are some photos of the work that's been going on behind the scenes.
The Southsea Coastal Scheme is the UK's largest local authority-led coastal defences project, worth more than ÂŁ160M. It will stretch for 4.5km from Old Portsmouth to Eastney, and help to reduce the risk of flooding to more than 10,000 homes and 700 businesses. Approximately 4,000 of these properties are at risk of direct threshold inundation.
The current defences are coming to the end of their lifespan, which increases the risk of flooding. We are creating new defences to embrace everything we all love about the seafront. The work will improve the seafront for future generations, while protecting the community and preserving the area's unique heritage.
History has shown that our seafront has seen its fair share of extreme weather in the past. In March 1818 a storm hit Southsea, bringing a five foot storm surge with it which lasted for over three hours. Buildings near the Round Tower and the platform at Sally Port were destroyed. Land around Lumps Fort was also swept away.
In 1821, a severe storm caused the sea to overtop the beach between Southsea Castle and Lumps Fort. The water reached as far as Marmion Road, which is nearly half a mile inland!
Here it is the long awaited X-01...
I think I started this fig like 3 or more months ago, and I had put it aside till Mclovin announced his Instagram contest. I tried my hardest to finish the fig but to my dismay I couldn't. Anyways let's get to the fig.
This power armors paint job is based off a mod I found, where it added an Enclave color scheme. It looked real cool so I tried it out and it turned out amazing!
This definitely has to be one of my favorite customs to date. Everything just turned out awesome. I personally think the torso looks really clean and we'll done. The helmet was very difficult to make as there weren't a lot of reference pictures, but I was able to make it look pretty good. Everything seen was sculpted with Procreate and Greenstuff and painted with Apple Barrel, Anita, and Citadel paints.
The laser rifle is technically a mod since it has brickarms parts but it's mainly hand made its composed of plastic card, procreate, paper clips and a brickarms ppsh. This was a really fun mod to make and I hope you guys enjoy it!
Also I whipped up a quick scenery piece showing a vault door, it's not the best but it'll do :P
Hope you guys enjoy this custom as much as I do. This is my second figure for Project Purity, next is Ulssyes from The Long Road. Comments and faves appreciated!
P.S I took inspiration from Mason Gedert for the helmet, I probably wouldn't have made it without him so thanks Mason!

Such a fabulous scene so here's another for my album.
Having made a trip 26 miles to the present end of the line in South Barre, Massachusetts Central Railroad train PA-2 is now back at Ware Yard with MCER GP9 1749 (ex CO 6199 blt. Dec. 1956) and GP38-2 1751 (ex PC 7997 blt. Jun. 1972) both dressed in a sharp scheme that mirrors the original Boston and Maine bluebird colors debuted on their GP9 order of 1957.
I’ve always long been fascinated with the Central Massachusetts Branch of the Boston & Maine. In fact, the modern day Mass Central pays homage to that line in both name and in locomotive paint…despite the fact that their mainline is all ex Boston & Albany.
So a bit of history. The Central Mass was a 100 mile route that ran in almost a straight line from Boston to the Connecticut River at Northampton. There is little argument among rail historians that it was truly a line that should never have been built. Originally chartered as the Massachusetts Central Railroad, it was enacted into law by the Massachusetts legislature on the auspicious date of May 10, 1869. The railroad wouldn’t actually open for business for another 11 years when the first 28 miles to Hudson were finally put in service on October 1, 1881. Completed to Oakdale and Jefferson’s (48 miles from Boston) the following year. Due to financial problems the line ceased operation in May 1883 and it would be two more years before the line would open for business again. Finally by the end of 1887 the line reached Northampton completed under the auspices of the Boston and Maine who had leased the Boston & Lowell in August of 1887, the B&L having leased the Central Mass 6 months prior. The B&M would control the Mass Central for the remainder of its life.
For a time in the early 1900s the Central Mass looked like it might give the other east west trunk lines (the Fitchburg to the north and the Boston & Albany to the south) a run for its money as a major east-west mainline. That is too long a tale to tell here, but one very much worth reading. If you’re interested the B&M Railroad Historical Society has published a fabulous book on the road that I highly recommend.
The first portions of the line were abandoned in 1931 & 1932 when trackage rights were acquired over parts of the parallel Central Vermont & B&A Ware River branch (today’s modern day Mass Central) respectively although thru trains still ran. But in a half dozen years the middle portion of the line was removed from service and formally abandoned between Oakdale and Barre in 1939. That effectively turned the Central Mass into two long branches from Boston to Clinton on the east and Northampton to Wheelwright on the west. Note that segments of the original main remained as spurs including around Ware and from Creamery (on the old B&A Ware River branch) to Wheelwright. They would remain as such into the early 1970s when change would come quickly.
The last train to Wheelwright would run in 1973 and the branch was cut back to Bondsville. Six years later even that much would be done and dismantled by 1983 including the Wheelwright spur out of service for a decade. What remained on the west end of the old Central Mass was a three mile spur from the Forest Lake Jct. (on the old B&A) to Bondsville and yard trackage around Ware including a half mile of the old mainline west from Ware.
Enter the modern Massachusetts Central Railroad. In the first railroad charter granted in the state since 1910 the new Mass Central was established as a common carrier in 1975. The new iteration of the road had big dreams of saving the remnants of the original road but it wasn’t to be. While they did take over the three mile spur to Bondsville and the yard trackage in Ware they only operated the former for a about a year (though 40 years later the rails and ties remain amidst the forest).
Meanwhile the former Boston & Albany Ware River Branch had been cropped back from Winchendon to South Barre by the Penn Central in 1968 when the northern 25 miles were abandoned. Eight years later the remaining 25 miles were not included in the USRA’s Final System Plan for Conrail. The Commonwealth picked up the trackage and contracted with Conrail to operate it for the first three years. In December 1979 the new Mass Central was named designated operator of the state trackage and has operated it ever since. The modern day Ware River Line has been a success, and in 2024 they operate 5 days a week serving 5 busy locations. But ghosts of the original Mass Central remain if you know were to look and what you’re looking at.
Here we see the crew working in Ware yard switching hoppers at Quantix (formerly A&R Packaging). The tracks in the foreground curving off toward the right background are the mainline toward Barre (original B&A) at about MP 12.2 while the loco is working on ex B&M Central Mass branch trackage that was part of the old B&M yard. East of the yard was the original route that was abandoned in 1932 when the trackage rights described above were acquired from the B&A. The rails end about 1100 ft east dead ending the woods on the causeway that once crossed the edge of the Ware River Reservoir.

I think the best end-cab switcher paint scheme was applied to two groups of T&NO EMD SW-1200 switchers. The first group, numbers 113-118, arrived in February 1954, followed by the second group, 123-128, in February-March 1957. These 12 units were classed as road units and featured classification lights, train number indicators, MU connections, in-cab speed recorders, and silver-painted ends. The first duty assignment for most of these engines was replacing steam power on Texas and Louisiana branch lines.
In this photo, taken in February 1954, 70 years ago, SW-1200 118 has just arrived on the property and is the sole power on train 377, which ran from Yoakum to Kenedy, Texas, returning as Train No. 378. The first run with the 118 on this local freight was on February 24. 1954. The 118 stayed around briefly before being replaced by other SW-1200s and eventually by Alco switchers.
This locomotive underwent number changes, rebuildings, and repaintings while on the Southern Pacific roster. Still running after 70 years, this unit now operates on the Moscow, Camden & St Augustine short line in East Texas. It is immaculately maintained on the MC&SA and sees daily service.

Christina Papandrea was kind enough to come out and work with me for a few hours. I shot this with the Sony A7 III and the Zeiss Batis 135mm which I'm starting to fall in love with all over again. As to lighting there was a single Godox AD300 to camera right using a 34"/85cm softbox.
Csx Selkirk NY to Philidelphia Pa daily manifest freight M403 is negotiating the S curve just south of CP52 in Cornwall-On-Hudson NY on Monday 03-20-2023. With the recent approved takeover of Kansas City Southern by Canadian Pacific many wonder if the elegant "Southern Belle" paint scheme will slowly be devoured by CP red. M403 was 117 cars long with 480 axles led by AC44CW 4587 and SD70ACe 4163 being the mid train distributed power unit. The building in the background is the old Epiphany College which is now Heritage Middle School located in New Windsor NY. Had the opportunity many years ago to get up into the cupola of the building during a fire training exercise and the view of the Hudson River and surrounding mountains was beautiful.

Another classic D&H lashup of 4 Alco's and an EMD, each in a different paint scheme, lead a Northbound out of Oneonta on August 9, 1980. This view was brand new at the time since I88 had just been opened and this is where the expressway crossed over the D&H near Colliersville, NY.
1. Scheming and planning
2. Not sure about this rope, think I need something lower first.
3. Ooh..here we go..just a bit more effort.
4. Wow..wow "way to go"
5. ..yup; higher still..you'll be impressed!
6. Well, everyone needs a helping hand occasionally.
Here's a photo from Sunday from Southsea seafront while JJ and I were waiting for our Uber home! It's less than a half hour walk but it was wet and windy and just taking the photo made me shiver!! The paving will all be renewed eventually as part of the Southsea Coastal Scheme, but I'm not sure when this section will be done.
A San Diego Coaster test train for the new Charger locomotives rolls south through Del Mar. To match the new paint scheme on the Chargers, a set of Coaster Bombardier Bi-level coaches has also been given the new look for the first day of service on Monday, February 8th. This particular test run was the first movement of a full set of cars in the new scheme.
