A nearly full complement of shuttle booms are in their lowered position over the holds on the M/V Indiana Harbor at Two Harbors.
Very early on the Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend, 1973 we see a 6 car train of old IC heavyweights coming around the curve into the 79th Cheltenham Station on the South Chicago branch.
During winter, when the pass road is closed, a car shuttle operates between Andermatt and Sedrun. Unlike other similar services, the drivers can't stay in their vehicles, so the train also has a passenger car.

I only had one lens with me and mounted to my Canon 5d Mark ii - the new Canon 16-35 f4.0L IS - what a superb walk-around lens whenever you need to go wide. It allows you to shoot very slow shutter speeds, really helping where tripods are impractical or forbidden, and is very sharp corner-corner - Canon's best wide-angle zoom for landscape and interior shots.
The diplomatic shuttle is a model I build on order for a great Star Trek enthusiast. The model had to have the classic look of the original series while being different from the basic shuttle (Galileo). So it's therefore twice as long and a quarter as wide and of course at Lego minifigures scale.

Metroline DE1610, YX58DWJ, and VW1275, LK12AHZ, on Wood End Lane at Northolt Park. Both vehicles have been terminated at Northolt Park but from different directions, owing to severe disruption around Hanger Lane.
DE1610 was turned at Northolt Park from Willesden Junction and VW1275 was turned from South Harrow. The traffic disruption meant that normal 487s were so late running that drivers did not have time to get to South Harrow and come back so VW1275 was drafted in as a standby spare to run a shuttle service between Northolt Park and South Harrow Station to connect passengers and provide a through service. As seen here, the passengers off the VW have just been transferred onto the DE that then formed a service to Willesden Junction.

Quick doodle of a shuttle "landing" or phasing into N-space. The shuttle is fairly goofy but the angular shape was fun and above all easy to place around with transparency effects.

This project started out with me seeing some concept art by Ivan Tantsiura. The engines in particular really caught my attention. More boxy than what you normally see. So I decided to run with the concept.
The idea behind the shuttle itself was less scientific like NASAs shuttles, and more commercial. Carrying corporate employees to stations in Earth orbit. So the interior is more luxurious than you might expect with plenty of leg room. Even the cockpit has some measure of luxury, despite a lot of that being overridden with function The seat would have neural ports for the pilots to control the aircraft, something I couldn't manage on the model itself but the idea lives on in my imagination. Now, on the other hand, you don't want to waste money on too much luxury, so the rear cargo bay is bare metal with industrial warnings and hardpoints for securing luggage. Really embracing that military cargo bay feel. All in all I am really happy with the interior. I even managed to make room for figs!
I had just as much fun with the exterior. I wanted a super clean look that was reminiscent of our real-world shuttles, but still carried on more sci-fi design cues. The engines are an obvious start to that concept. Those were taken wholesale from the concept art I mentioned earlier, then modified and adapted to suit what I had in mind. The rest of the shuttle took shape from an early sketch I did of the top profile. And I swear I was using that leading edge design before the UCS Batwing was announced, that's what I'm saying to make myself feel better at least.
Obviously, another important part of the exterior is the color blocking. The orange came pretty naturally. It contrasts well without being too bright. And the part availability meant I had access to enough parts to really clean up the lines. The orange section on the underside makes me especially happy.
And that's really a good note to end on, I'm just really happy with this build. It let me have some fun and I think the final pruduct reflects that. As always, instructions are available on Rebrickable. rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-89840/AsgardianStudio/cyberpunk-...

The Lambda Class Shuttle is one of my favorite spaceship designs with its birdlike look. I like the elegant curves and the transformative wing mechanism, furthermore the landing gear setup with just two legs is exciting!
With the introduction of all the recent new parts I was able to create the round forms and fluent lines of the original studio model.
It is difficult to find exact reference material for this ship, most of the blueprints and imagery, which are available online, are not correct to the original studio models. I've ended up using my own photographs I've managed to take at the amazing Star Wars Identities exhibition.
The model is a scratch build MOC, there are some familiar elements to the LEGO UCS model as well as Dmac's www.flickr.com/photos/dmaclego original design. My main focus was an accurate cockpit design (it’s still not perfect but I like my solution), the inclusion of play features, a full interior completed with PF functions, lights and more.
The model features:
- motorized foldable wings
- boarding ramp
- retractable landing gear
- detailed cockpit and interior
- turning canons
- landing lights
- working sublight engine
It is bigger than the official set with 94 cm in width and 102 cm in hight (on the stand). I've used up to 6000 parts for the model including an PF medium motor and 7 PF lights.
For the scenes I've used secondary builds, the Death Star ll and a midscaled Star Destroyer based on Brickdoctors www.flickr.com/photos/legoarts/ design both of which are adding several hundred parts. For the Endor scene I've used around 10000 parts. Even the planets used for the space scenes are based on LEGO parts (Planet series: Endor and Tatooin for the red Planet).
I'm happy how my build came together, I hope you like it as well! Thanks.
Just before the disruption I have mentioned here occurred, RFO's 193 742 passed by coming from the wrong side. The container shuttle may be from Duisburg Ruhrort Hafen (D) to Rotterdam Maasvlakte - which I have photographed a little over a year earlier with the same loco. Dordrecht, 03-05-2023.

Imperial Shuttle from Star Wars, in midi-scale.
Decided to put this one up on Lego Ideas, along with my Ranger, so please support it if you like it:
So at this point most people at my day job know Steph and I are "Lego People". Anyways, for various occasions such as birthdays or last days (by that I don't mean deaths) we like to build little desk magnets or vigs representative of the individual. This one is for a friend who switched jobs to go work for NASA. :)
Some inspiration :)

As a fan of the Microfighters I build this model of the imperial shuttle, because LEGO didn’t. Because I want to build the wings with bricks (not plates) it is a little to big, compared to “real” Microfighters.
Als bekennender Microfighter-Fan musste ich jetzt mal selbst Hand anlegen, da LEGO das Imperial Shuttle ja (noch) nicht als Microfighter rausgebracht hat. Vom Maßstab bzw. den Verhältnissen her ist es für einen echten Microfighter etwas zu groß geraten. Aber da ich auch die seitlichen Tragflächen aus bricks bauen wollte und zudem der Klapp-Mechanismus sowie die Winkel im Flug- und Landemodus, möglichst der Realität entsprechen sollten, bin ich diesen Kompromiss gerne eingegangen. Ich hoffe es gefällt.

Seen here in Giles Car Park within the University of Kent complex in Canterbury are Go-Coach 5013 YJ62 FUD (left) and 5014 YJ62 FUG (right) displaying both sets of blinds for a route 43 shuttle between Canterbury and Wingham Lane which was to start the following day. Sunday 7th August 2022.
From Monday 8th August for two weeks. Go-Coach was hired by Stagecoach South East to operate a shuttle on route 43 between Canterbury Bus Station and Wingham Lane (the return to the A257 was made via Ickham & Nargate Street) due to works taking place on the bridge over the Nail Bourne. 5013 worked from Monday 8th to Friday 12th August being swapped with 5014 during the lunch period at Canterbury. 5014 was swapped with 3902 on Tuesday 16th August and that worked upto Sunday 21st August with the road re-opening from the following Monday. The actual route 43 to Sandwich was diverted down the A2 to Aylesham and then to Wingham before resuming its normal line of route.

Marsh driftwood and Florida shrubbery frame the liftoff phase of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it begins the STS-69 mission. Liftoff from Launch Pad 39A occurred at 11:09:00:52 a.m. (EDT), September 7, 1995. The crew of five NASA astronauts was embarking on an 11-day multifaceted mission featuring two free-flying scientific research spacecraft, a spacewalk and a host of experiments in both the cargo bay and the middeck. Onboard were astronauts David M. Walker, Kenneth D. Cockrell, James S. Voss, James H. Newman and Michael L. Gernhardt.

What a great memory! September 21, 2012.
We were stepping out of the Star Wars ride at Disneyland, looked up to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour fly over on it's Boeing 747 transport, along with it's escort plane, to it's final display location at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Lucky timing!
Die wenigen Metrans Loks der Baureihe 187 wickeln den innerdeutschen Containerverkehr von und nach Hamburg ab. Nahezu täglich ist eine dieser Loks auch in Nürnberg zu Gast, wo im Hafen Containern aus aller Welt entladen werden. Anschließend geht es meist gegen Nachmittag neu beladen wieder Richtung Hansestadt. Bei Markt Bibart konnte ich 187 510 beobachten, wie sie zwischen dem dichten ICE-Taktverkehr sich ihre Lücke Richtung Würzburg bahnt.
Metrans Shuttle
The few Metrans locomotives of the 187 series handle container traffic within Germany to and from Hamburg. One of these locomotives visits Nuremberg almost every day, where containers from all over the world are unloaded in the port. Then, usually around the afternoon, it heads back towards the Hanseatic city with new load. At Markt Bibart I was able to watch 187 510 making its way between the dense ICE traffic towards Würzburg.

Due to PTC and a new shuttle train elevator being built, Endicott is the epicenter of grain operations on WATCO's Hooper and Pleasant ValleySubs. During harvest season, the elevator will load multiple unit trains for shiment to the coast. I believe they run all the way to Portland rather than transloading to a barge at Wallula like they previously did.
On this morning I was hanging around Lower Monument Dam when an empty grainer of UP cars came scooting up the Snake River. Suspecting that it was the shuttle train, I was able to catch it here coming into the elevator at Endicott.
