Chapter 2 - Princess of gloss
Shinenee lived 3,500 years before the reign of the latex sorceress Shimmerrah, who originated from Wealthold city, the capital of Gonzzul. This region is now part of the 12 kingdoms and queendoms. To the north of this landmass lies Glossu, home to energy-elves who can sense the energy from magic crystals covering the land. Glossu was formerly part of the Crystal Lands, which itself was a larger territory within Verarubbera. Approximately 3,000 years ago, Verarubbera evolved into the 12 kingdoms and queendoms, with rubber trees being a prominent feature of the landscape around the Crystal Lands.
Princess Shinenee, also known as the Princess of gloss, was a prominent figure in the realm of Rubyano. Her early life was marked by tragedy, as her parents were abducted by the four witches of Toweron when she was 3 year of age. This event led to her being raised under the guardianship of King Sharpstone, who was her step-father and the brother of Queen Rubyshine her mother.
Shinenee developed a distinctive passion for shiny objects, which earned her the moniker "Princess of Gloss". She was widely regarded as the fairest in the land. At the age of 17, Shinenee began to formulate a plan to overthrow King Sharpstone, who ruled from the high crystal tower of Rubyano. This ambition was significant, as she was next in line to rule should anything happen to Sharpstone.
A notable aspect of Shinenee's persona was her affinity for latex clothing. This began at age 14 when she received a hot-pink latex catsuit as a gift. Over time, her collection grew, and eventually, all her attire was made of latex. This preference was linked to the northern lands, which were abundant with vast jungles of rubber trees. These jungles were so extensive that one could easily get lost for weeks, and they harbored unique wildlife. King Sharpstone, for reasons not explicitly stated, refused to cut down these trees.

Today it occurred to me that in 18 months I haven't photographed any main line steam other than LSL locos ( is this a record ? ).
The run of recent sunny days didn't last for the Saphos Welsh Marches Whistler, hauled from Crewe to Bristol by 45231 and 46100 as a positioning move for a series of trains in the South West.

The "red tower of star-light" refers to the transformed high crystal tower of Rubyano, which was originally ruled by King Sharpstone. After Queen Shinenee overthrew him and ascended to power, her growing obsession with latex and her acquisition of magical abilities led her to imbue the tower with her power. This transformation resulted in the tower becoming known as "The red tower of star-light". This imposing structure, radiating her influence and power, instilled fear in the neighboring lands.
The tower's new name and appearance symbolized Shinenee's complete dominance and the dark turn her reign had taken. It was a physical manifestation of her insatiable greed and the magical energy she drew from the crystals of her land.

PUSHING IT TO THE LIMIT
Once the clocks alter this shot is extremely limited to achieve and this evening's working was no exception. Firstly it arrived 24 mins late into Shrewsbury then a failed track circuit on the return added to the problems so it was a case of up'ing the ISO and reducing the shutter speed. Colas Rail class 56078 and 094 top and tail the seasonal rail head treatment train very slowly passes Sharpstones Quarry at Bayston Hill at 16;45 with the late running Gloucester Horton Road to Worcester Shrub Hill. This train only works as far as Shrewsbury on a Sunday as on weekdays it works to Craven Arms

Chapter 1 - The histroy of Glossu
Originally, the lands of Rubyano were cool and windy, devoid of jungles, which were instead found in regions like Latxrubbero, Magicalu, Toweron, Wallfort, and the island of Anddies. Rubber trees were rare during this period. Approximately 4,600 years ago, and 1,100 years before the birth of Queen Shinenee, a lady named Latexiee, also known as Latex-Latexiee, from Anddies, initiated the project. Latexiee, known for her "shinyness and beauty" and love for latex, gathered a group of "shiny girls" and enlisted the help of Shiglosso, a powerful mage from Rubberia, a market town in Toweron. Shiglosso was considered the most powerful mage of her time and was said to have communicated with six gods and goddesses. Their plan was to heat up the crystal lands of Rubyano to create a new jungle, larger than any existing one, with the pure intention of helping wildlife and making women shiny in latex. The gods and goddesses approved of this plan. Latexiee then imported seeds, which grew over time, leading to the expansion of the jungle.
The kings and queens of Rubyano subsequently adopted a creed to sustainably manage the jungle, cutting down only a few trees annually and consistently replanting to preserve this divine gift. Shiglosso warned King Emold that the destruction of this jungle would lead to the downfall of the world, and if the power of the red crystals were to overpower the trees, the weather would become dark and wet. This tale has been passed down through generations across various lines and races of the world. The transformation of Rubyano into a jungle ecosystem highlights a mythological narrative of environmental creation and stewardship. The concept of a powerful mage influencing natural landscapes through divine intervention is a common theme in fantasy literature and ancient mythologies, often symbolizing humanity's desire to shape its environment.
Chapter 2 - Princess of gloss
Shinenee lived 3,500 years before the reign of the latex sorceress Shimmerrah, who originated from Wealthold city, the capital of Gonzzul. This region is now part of the 12 kingdoms and queendoms. To the north of this landmass lies Glossu, home to energy-elves who can sense the energy from magic crystals covering the land.

This event led to her being raised under the guardianship of King Sharpstone, who was her step-father and the brother of Queen Rubyshine her mother.
Shinenee developed a distinctive passion for shiny objects, which earned her the moniker "Princess of Gloss". She was widely regarded as the fairest in the land. At the age of 17, Shinenee began to formulate a plan to overthrow King Sharpstone, who ruled from the high crystal tower of Rubyano. This ambition was significant, as she was next in line to rule should anything happen to Sharpstone.

These jungles were so extensive that one could easily get lost for weeks, and they harbored unique wildlife. King Sharpstone, for reasons not explicitly stated, refused to cut down these trees.
Chapter 3 - Shinenee's rise to power
Shinenee's rise to power involved a decisive act of usurpation. While the king slept, she crept into the royal crystal hall and took his crown and staff of energy, which bore the stone of balance. The following day, she appeared before the king in a red latex catsuit, corset, boots, gloves, and cape, wearing his crown and holding his staff sitting upon his throne in a sexy pose. With knights kneeling before her, she declared that her "wicked deed" saying a shiny red latex outfit is fitting for her coronation ceremony, subsequently having the king removed with a flick of her wrist. This event solidified her rule as a "latex queen" who desired to be seen as beautiful, shiny, and fully adorned in latex. Her focus remained primarily on her own realm and people, with little regard for lands beyond her immediate control.
Queen Shinenee was a monarch known for her extreme greed and obsession with latex, ruling over the Crystal Lands, Initially perceived by her own people as a benevolent ruler who ensured their well-being, providing ample food and importing magical items, she was viewed by neighboring lands as a selfish and malevolent queen. Her reign was characterized by the extensive exploitation of natural resources, particularly the rubber trees from the jungles, which were cut down by the Knights of Wallfort to produce latex for her clothing and desires. This relentless deforestation led to the transformation of her land, with the jungle diminishing until her entire palace was adorned with latex.
Chapter 4 - The fall of the jungle
Shinenee, also known as the "greedy glossy queen of the crystal lands," leveraged magic and power from red crystals, which also powered her formidable "Red Tower of Star-Light." which was once "The high crystal tower of Rubyano" This tower instilled fear in other lands, deterring them from engaging in war with her. As the jungles disappeared, the land experienced increased rainfall, and the goddess of light, Gimmorrighte, was believed to have abandoned the land due to Shinenee's actions. Despite her people's pleas to cease her destructive practices, Shinenee continued, driven by her insatiable desire for more smooth, slippery, shiny, and sexy latex outfits. At this time Shinenee was age 100 but looked like she was aged 26. She was a powerful sorcereress known as the witch-elf who had darkend the lands from her greed. She told her people that she must get what she wants and must be the most glamorous and shiny as she is the queen. She also told her people she would always help them which she did. With her magic she healed the weak and got homes for the homeless while given them food and water. She wanted them to not only see her as a queen be to be worshipped as a goddess while her lust and greed for more latex and beauty torn to world apart.
Shinenee being an Energy-elf looked age 30 by the time she got to 172 years of age, a characteristic attributed to the longer lifespan and slower aging process of Energy-elves. Twenty years before the near-complete destruction of the jungle, her Knights of Wallfort, who were renamed "The Unyielding Knights," cast a powerful spell upon themselves to become impervious to the allure of any woman, presumably to resist Shinenee's influence.
Ultimately, Shinenee, acknowledging her greed and excessive love for latex, left her land and entered the Cave of Greed. She willingly embraced a fate of eternal entrapment and transformation into a queen of evil, believing this would grant her immortality and fulfill all her desires for latex.
Chapter 5 - The after math of Shinenee and The Unyielding Knights
The Unyielding Knights are a group of guardians who, after being freed from the control of Queen Shinenee, relocated to Latxrubbero to protect the Fortress of Time and prevent the misuse of the Temple of Time's power.
Initially, the Unyielding Knights were under the sway of Queen Shinenee, who exploited their loyalty for her insatiable desire for latex. This led to the destruction of rubber trees and devastation of her lands until only crystals remained. Following Queen Shinenee's departure, the energy-elves initiated the replanting of new rubber trees. The Unyielding Knights, now free from her influence, journeyed to Latxrubbero, a vast jungle located to the south, where they also planted rubber tree seeds.
In the southwestern region of Latxrubbero, they established their presence at the Fortress of Time, an ancient structure built 3,500 years ago and dedicated to Aeon, the god of time. Beyond the fortress lies the Temple of Time, which the Knights are tasked with safeguarding. Their primary mission at the Fortress of Time is to ensure that no one can pass through and exploit the temple's power for malevolent purposes. The land, once ravaged by Queen Shinenee's actions, became perpetually wet and stormy, with daily storms extending their reach to Latxrubbero and Wallfort. The Unyielding Knights were not permitted to return to Wallfort after their period of servitude to Queen Shinenee. Their current role is to act as guardians, preventing any evil from utilizing the ancient powers housed within the Temple of Time.
The Unyielding Knights' history is deeply intertwined with the lore of Queen Shinenee and the mystical elements of their world, including energy-elves and ancient deities. Their commitment to protecting the Temple of Time highlights their reformed purpose and dedication to maintaining balance in their realm.
Chapter 6 - Evil queen of latex
When she found the cave it was glowing in coloful magical powerful crystals. She knew that her world greatest powers came from magic crystals. As she enterd the cave it all turned in to shiny latex and a sweet evil giggle came from the darkness of the cave, out skipped a pretty shiny latex teen girl in a red latex catsuit,red latex mini-dress, and shiny red crown on fire, she had demons horns and tail.

You can have all the sex you wish with no end, You could where all the latex you wish and if you wish you could become made of latex of the most shiniest kind.” Shinenee told Goldglossin That she know the rules of the cave that if you make one wish you can go from the cave, but if you make more than one you will be trapped for ever to live out all your greedy lustful dreams. But Shinenee told this is why she had come as she wants to become an evil latex queen of lust and pleasure, She said she wants to be very sexy and enjoy her latex fetish to the fullest. She Goldglossin closed the cave be hide her turning her into a latex evil queen of latex sexual lust.

Unfortunately no class 60 was rostered to this working today just a common old garden 'shed' and is seen rounding the curve near Sharpstones Quarry with a medium length train
After negotiating the height restricted road bridge that carries Sharpstone Lane over the railway in the background, the driver of 66501 'Japan 2001' checks all is well with his train as it accelerates away from Bayston Hill with the 4V64 Crewe Basford Hall to Wentloog freightliner.
I meet up with my good friend Phil Martin at Bayston Hill to photograpth this class 66 on an engineering train heading a rake of 24 empty JNA's past Sharpstone Quarry on route to Taunton. It originally departed Crewe 25 mins late but the scheduled 'recessed' stop on Crewe Bank was cancelled. resulting in it now running to time
