I rushed over the Acton Turville to bag another shot of 37025 (again for the second time in 48 hours, but that's a photo not worth seeing neither)! However, sods law occurred and it terminated at Bristol Parkway on low fuel. Unlike everyone else who left, I opted to wait for 6B33. It was looped in Swindon for this (the 1B35 Paddington-Swansea) to overtake which much to my surprise was the 'green sludge' HST, with 43188 leading 43187 - my first full bling shot of it (which is the only time you can take it really!)

First time out in public. Went to Brighton on my 28th birthday with my awesomely supportive friend Katie.
Very nerve wracking at first, but I got used to it, and my friend Katie said no-one was giving me dodgy looks. Some guy was handing out flyers for a club, and said "evening girls" which was so exciting to be called that!
Then we tried to get into a gay bar, and they asked us both for ID. Katie was fine, but even if I'd had ID on me, it would have looked nothing like me! My driving licence photo is me with short hair and a beard!!!!
So we wandered a bit, and found a cool bar to chill in with cocktails and a DJ playing some classic retro funk and disco on vinyl. And then it was time to go home. This was partly my fault for taking 2.5hrs to get ready. Such is being a girl.
I felt so confident by the time I got home, that I just walked right up to my house without covering up with bloke clothes. However, it was 2am and all the street lights were off!
It's all a bit wierd on reflection. Barely seems like me.

Airtight never wanted Cobra to unleash an unknown biological weapon, but after seeing one of Dr. Mindbender’s experiments reduce all the local vegetation to sludge, he has to admit it’s fascinating.

Remark: The trees on the left side of this photograph would be located in present day Thomas Centennial Park.
At the time this photograph was taken, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway was installing water troughs in the tracks directly behind the photographer. Also being erected behind the photographer was a new brick pump house and water tower.
The water tank shown to the right of the tracks in this photograph, erected circa 1876, was torn down during the third week of January in 1907. When the tank was dismantled, workers discovered over one foot of mud and sludge in the bottom. John Tavenier, of Elkhart, was one of the men employed to dismantle the tank. During the process of breaking down the tank on January 21, 1907, Tavenier fell, breaking his leg and injuring his spine. He died from his injuries on Wednesday, January 30th at his home in Elkhart.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK
The Lake Shore company is building several shanties across Coffee creek to be occupied by about two hundred Italians who are coming here to put in the water troughs and build the new pumping station. The work train is at work unloading crushed stone along the right of way for the troughs and work will begin in a few days. It is said the company expects to spend $80,000 on their property here this season, and whether this includes a new depot or not has not been given out. The citizens sincerely hope that a part of this amount will be expended in new buildings, as they are badly needed.

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Lake Shore Company Will Make Many Changes Here Before the Summer is Over.
The Lake Shore railway is contemplating some extensive changes in improvements on their right of way through Chesterton. As soon as the bridge gang gets through with the Baileytown bridge they pill [sic] come up here and put in a water trough in both the tracks, just east of the Coffee creek bridge. The trough will be a mile long and will be made of cement and concrete, and all trains of every description will take water without stopping. The pump house, it is said, will be moved to a point almost opposite the paint factory and the water tank will also be taken down and a much larger one built near the pumping station site. Unusually heavy rails have been laid on the east-bound track and the west-bound track will be fitted out with like material.
It is understood that the company has placed orders for a large number of freight engines, much heavier than those now in use, and nearly all freight trains will be made through freights. It is thought that when the new engines are placed in commission on this division the pusher engine will be put out of commission.
The moving of the pumping station away from the road crossing is a move that will please the farmers who have to come to town over the crossing, as the plant as it is now located obstructs the view of the tracks from the east altogether, and up to the time a watchman was placed there was a very dangerous place. With the buildings removed a clear view of the tracks can be had for over a mile in each direction.
The bridge being built at Baillytown is of the very latest design, and is expressly built for the heavier thrains [sic] that the company is putting on. In the event that the company four-tracked its right of way the abutments can be easily extended and the additional tracks put on.
The company last week erected several sheds just north of the organ factor to home their Italian help who will do all the heavy work on these improvements, quite a number being here now unloading stone and other material for the erection of the water trough.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK
Considerable complaint is heard from the farmers coming to and going from town on the Valparaiso road at the narrow plank crossing on Valparaiso street at the Lake Shore tracks. The planking is juft [sic] wide enough for one rig to cross as a time, and when the crossing is held for some time by the passage of a long freight the trams line up, and the line that gets the first start across makes it necessary for the line from the other direction to wait until they are over, causing several more minutes' delay.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK
Agents of the Lake Shore company are here this week negotiating with land owners along their right of way in this township for the purchase of a twenty-five foot strip on each side of the right of way. The land is to be used for siding purpose but will eventually result in a four track road for this division. After the pumping station and water troughs are erected on the east side of Coffee Creek the side track will extend to a point about a mile east of town.

CHESTERTON ITEMS.
The improvements the Lake Shore company is putting along their right of way in Chesterton are rapidly approaching completion and it will be but a short time till the work is finished. The pump house is finished and nearly all pipe connections have been put in place, and next week they expect to put up the boilers and pump, and it will be bit a short time till all trains will take water without stopping. Water plugs have been put in near the pump house and those trains that do take water from them will not block the crossing in town, thus doing away with a nuisance that has long been a danger to people using this crossing. All improvements are being made on a large scale and the facilities are sufficient to supply double the number of trains now running with water, and it will undoubtedly be several generations before other improvements will have to be made in this direction at this station and by that time all trains will undoubtedly be running by electricity, and there will be no need of pumping stations.

The improvements being made east of here on the Lake Shore are rapidly assuming tangible shape now. A hand some brick building has been erected for the pumping station, and this week the water tank is being built. The water trough will soon be in operation, and the men are working on the job every day, including Sundays. The cost of the improvement is estimated at $80,000. The common labor on the job is being done principally by Italians who live in boarding shanties which have been erected long the right of way.

LOCAL NEWS OF THE WEEK
When the men began tearing down the old water tank at the depot Monday about a foot of mud was found in the bottom.
John Tavner, of Elkhart, one of the crew who came here Monday to taken out the Lake Shore company's old water system, fell from the platform of the old water tank about 2:30 the same afternoon and broke the bones in his right leg near the hip. He was given medical attention here until the 4:11 train arrived, when he was taken to Elkhart and placed in a hospital there. Tavner's fellow workmen say that he had been to work but a short time, having just recovered from the effects of a fall in which both feet were badly injured. He is about fifty years old and has a large family dependent upon him for a living.
An old land mark passed away this week when the Lake Shore company tore down the old water tank and pumping station at this place. A force of men arrived Monday morning and began tearing down the structures that for thirty years supplied the engines with water at this station.

The following news item concerning the destruction of the railway depot and grain elevator, visible directly across from the water tower, appeared in the November 27, 1913, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
OLD LAND MARK IS DESTROYED
FIRE WIPES OUT THE LAKE SHORE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER DEPOT EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
Origin of Fire Unknown. -- Loss Will Aggregate Over $10,000. -- Company's Pans for the Future Unknown.
The Chesterton depot of the Lake Shore railroad is no more. Early Saturday morning it was totally destroyed by fire. The origin of the fire is unknown. The blaze started in the southwest corner of the freight department of the building, and was simultaneously discovered by night man Whitehead, and nightwatchman Tillapaugh, who both promptly turned in the alarm. The firebell rang at about 12:35 midnight, and the call was promptly responded to by the fire department. Mr. Whitehead had just reported a train, and smelling smoke, went into the express room to investigate, and discovered that the freight room was a raging furnace. He at once notified the dispatcher's office and turned in an alarm. At the same moment Nightwatchman Tillapaugh was frantically ringing the firebell.
Mr. Whitehead began saving the records and was assisted by Agent Whitehead, who heroically worked to save the company the most valuable things in the ticket office, and as a result of the work of these men, most of the records were saved. About six dollars in money and some freight records were lost. One of the relics lost, that money cannot replace was an old banjo clock that has done duty in the station since 1852. It was a remarkable timepiece, as it kept almost correct time, and never was out of service, except to make occasional trips to the company's official adjuster. Not until the flames had enveloped the office did the men desert their posts, and further work was impossible. By the time the fire company had got to work, the flames had complete possession of the building, and all that could be done was to save a telegraph pole that carried a large number of wire, and whose destruction would mean the typing up of the telegraph system of the road.
At this time is it impossible to give anything like a correct estimate of the loss. Agent Whitman says that the amount of freight in the deport was unusually light. The building, while old, was substantial, and could not be duplicated today for $6,000 or $7,000. Probably there was four or five thousand dollars worth of freight in the building that was destroyed. Among the men who had freight there that was destroyed are the following:
Dille & Morgan, loss estimated between $500 and $600.
John Bartels,
Wm. Bartels,
Charles Nickel,
Er Isbey,
------- Jones,
Jos. Ameling,
Smith & Son,
J. A. Johnson & Bro.
None of these have been able to give a correct list of their losses, as the shipping bills for all of them have not been received.
The fire was so intense that the rails of the main line were badly warped and necessitated the stoppage of traffic for about three hours. Luckily at the time of the fire there were no passenger trains due, and the delay fell on the freights. The tracks were speedily restored to normal condition, and Saturday forenoon two cars were sent here to serve in place of a depot. One of the cars was fitted up for the agent and his force and the other will serve as a waiting room until other arrangements can be made.
At this writing is it impossible to say what the company will do in the way of building a new depot. Plans were made for a new deport for this station several years ago, and last year it was announced that it would be built. Then came the retrenchment order, and the idea was postponed. Officials of the road have been here this week looking the situation over, and it may be that nothing will be done until spring. The Lake Shore railroad is a very important factor in the life of Chesterton, and it is very essential that the town work in harmony with the company. Nothing should be done that will unnecessarily hamper the railroad in giving service to the community. There has been talk about opening up Franklin street across the company's property, now that the old depot is down and out of the way. This would be a serious inconvenience to the company, and would not greatly benefit the town. The company would abandon the present site entirely and concentrate its business at the crossing, is the opinion of one of the Lake Shore officials if this move was made. It has been suggested that a committee of representative citizens meet the Lake Shore officials and talk matters over with the view to adopting some plan that will be mutually beneficial. Chesterton is a good station. Its business is worth while to the railroad company, and we all hope that the end of this disaster will prove a blessing in disguise.
The old depot was built in 1852. In its day it was a good depot, and during its long life has served both the railroad company and the community faithfully and well. Until the last few year[s] it had elevator facilities, and a great many thousands of bushels of grain has been shipped out of it, that was raised in this section. We all hope that in its stead will arise a modern depot that we may all be proud of.

Extinction
Following the defeats at the hands of Unicron (TF Movie) and the the Predacons (Call of the primals) The dinobots start to show signs of mutiny in the ranks of the Dinobots. Slag and Sludge question if Grimlock is truly the strongest one there is. Before a battle for a shift of power can begin with their ranks, they are interupted by one of the few Autobots all the Dinobots trust, Wheelie. He informs Grimlock that Gnaw, Wheelie's pet Sharticon went haywire destroyed a small Cybertronian fair, and commendered a shuttle and left for the Quintesson planet! In an attempt to regain control Grimlock decrees that the Dinobots will go to the Quinteson planet and retrieve Gnaw. The other dinobots are leary, but Wheelie's excited cheers about not only returning to his home planet and saving his pet/friend sway them to follow Grimlocks plan. Not being known for their piloting skills, Grimlock, Wheelie, and the Dinobots find Scattershot in the Autobot hanger and convince him to deploy them on the Quintesson planet for a recon mission. Once on the planet, they find that things are amiss. A lone Quintesson looking to reclaim the power that was usurped from them via Hot Rod, Kup, and the Dinobots has initiated Protocol: Frenzy, a program designed to reboot all the Sharticons and send them on a seek and detroy mission throughout the cosmos. Millions of them! Once on the planet, the dinobots are immediately attacked and their ship is over run and literally devoured. The Dinobots and Scattershot fight valiantly, but the sheer numbers of the Sharticons is too great and they are over run. In the midst of the battle Wheelie is searching for the spark of Gnaw, and while doing so is mortally wounded by some Sharticons forcing the heroes to retreat and regroup in Wheelies former hideaway on the planet. Defeated and with no way off the planet or to call reenforcements, their fate seems doomed. Slag says the Dinobots would crush the Sharticons with stronger leader! The fight that started on Cybertron continues in Wheelie's bunker. But in their weakened state, the battle is over shortly as Scattershot states this is madness, you are a TEAM! Scattershot states that if the other Technobots were there, they'd have a fighting chance with Computron. Then the as Grimlock surveys the bunker he sees Swoop holding the dying Wheelie, but also notices that Wheelie has scavenged parts and pieces from the left of parts of the various "residenst" of the planet. "me Grimlock say we, Dinobots ARE a team, and Dinobots shall save the day!" He looks at Scattershot. "You Scattershot will make Dinobots combine" We will be the strongest. We Will crush all those who stand in our way." "But thats... thats... INSANE" Scattershot states, thinking about the sheer destruction all of their powers combined would unleash on this planet, let alone the universe "...but what other choice do we have."Slag and Sludge have enough of following BORING Grimlock" We rather die on Shark planet befor...."Enough!!!!" Swoop says while holding the almost lifeless Wheelie. "Grimlock is dinobot, we are dinobots, he is leader, WE follow Grimlock. Friend Wheelie need our help" All the while Scattershot has surveyed and scan the items into his databanks, and scans Wheelie's body and all of the dinobots..."And help him we will Swoop"
The more distant semaphore is a replacement for the taller more traditional design. The new one has a centre pivot. The Turbo is in GWR 'Sludge' green which in certain light can still look attractive. The signal made up of small disks allows trains to head back towards Great Malvern wrong line until a set of points about half a mile away.
This was the first time I visited this spot and it was not easy with a degree of undergrowth. It seems likely that this is not now accessible - please let me know if this is not the case.
2-Car Turbo 165132 arrives at Malvern Wells and will change direction shortly 17-11-21.
The working is the 5T78 1230 Great Malvern to Great Malvern ECS.

Lister 4-wheel diesel-mechanical (W/No.26288 of 1944) on the overgrown 2ft gauge tramway of the Severn rent Water Authority's (STWA) Newstead Sludge Disposal Plant, Blurton, near Stoke-on-Trent, on 26th June 1976. The plant dated from 1932 and comprised a long array of drying beds. The type 'R' 6hp JAP petrol locomotive was purchased new and converted with a more powerful diesel engine in 1971. The extensive railway, serving some 36 acres, was closed in 1986 and the ‘Railtruck’ was transferred to the company's Burslem works, where it worked until around 1981. Due to their relatively easy portability very few Lister locomotives escaped the attention of narrow gauge railway enthusiasts in the latter years of industrial railways, and this one was no exception, finding a home on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway 2-foot gauge ‘stone line’ at Wirksworth in Derbyshire.
