P1050210 - 2021-08-01 - Didcot - Diamond Jubilee Gala - Sheds - King 6023 and LH&J 29 by George McVitie

5

A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.

Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.

Here,

6023 - "King Edward II" - King or 6000 class 4-6-0

and

29 - The Lambton, Hetton and Joicey Loco on loan from NYMR

No 29 is in steam and will later run on the branch Line

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

Here, after arriving at Sheringham for their Steam Gala Event, I moved along to Weybourne where 8572 was just coming from the sheds and had moved forward to the Station Platform ready to start work on Steam Gala activities.

There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.

I just got home after having to work several hours late, all caused by a spreadsheet corrupting with a huge amount of information being affected that is vital to our daily work. Today has been spent trying to redo the past couple of days work, and has essentially ended up with me having to do about 4 days work in 1 day.

This is the best you're getting out of me tonight, but I have a plan for tomorrow. And you're going to love it.

p.s. thank you for all your lovely messages. I promise I'm going to get around to replying as soon as I get the chance/off the floor.

P1050369 - 2021-08-02 - Swanage Railway - Maunsell SR 2-6-0 - U Class No. 31806 by George McVitie

A Photo from Day 3 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

The Swanage Railway runs trains from Norden via Corfe Castle, another station and a halt to Swanage Station or the other way round so there is some very pleasant scenery to look at and photograph when travelling along the line.

There is ample car parking at the Norden end of the line so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there were 2 trains running both hauled by Steam Locomotives.

Here, 31806, a Maunsell designed SR U Class 2-6-0 loco has just run round the train to get ready to go back to Norden.

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

Here, after arriving at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway (EVR) for their Steam in the Valley 21 Event and going on a journey behind Steam Locomotive "Henry Ellison" from Wirksworth Station on a train up the very steep 1 in 27 Ravenstor Incline, I went along the line to Duffield Station and back hauled by BR Std. 4 Tank 80080.

Here, Back at Duffield Station - half way round my second trip, I got a photo of the other main heritage line loco in use this day GWR 9466.

9466 was designed by Hawksworth as part of the "94xx Class" for the GWR which rather strangely was built at Robert Stephenson and Hawthorn Ltd at Darlington as a 0-6-0PT.

Reserve Proof by Rick Malo

10 4

There is a moment here that few ever come to realize---

A proverbial two fingers of ‘reserve proof’ poured into a crystal tumbler, there to be savored sip by sip in just reward---

An equilibrium of sorts in the push and the pull of everyday, a stasis in the corporate heartbeat which those who count beans and stare at computer screens in Fort Worth and Omaha and Jacksonville are perhaps unknowingly deprived of---

Moments that never register as a spike on a graph or spreadsheet or a figure on a quarterly earnings report, and one in which those poor souls sheltered in the glass and concrete facades of Wall Street are seemingly, and hopefully, oblivious to.

They are jealously reserved for those hearty individuals who laced up boots and learned a skill or trade or craft, one that doesn’t involve the tying of a Windsor Knot around the neck every morning and enduring a commute to a cubicle or corner office, there to lash it as a marionette to various rungs about a corporate ladder.

Yet, they are instants of brevity that rarely, if ever, convert to dollars and cents on a direct deposit slip that arrives in the mailbox every other week.

They are as a fringe benefit that only the worthy are afforded, those sage and seasoned souls who earned their credentials in the extremes of physics and metallurgy, and the temperature and other elemental challenges that Mother Nature seemed fit to bestow upon their existence in a 24-7-365 fashion.

When, at midnight, a knuckle lets go and gladhands separate on a grade, and the curses emanating from the locomotive cab are as angry as the lightning slashing from the darkened sky, with sheets of rain arriving in chapter-and-verse proportions straight from the pages of Genesis, threatening to wash from the land all those who dare venture into it---

Someone still has to go out and replace the damn thing.

These character-building moments are steeped well in tradition, their seeds first planted in the Welsh soils of Penydarren, there to be watered fully with saturated steam at the hand of a Cornish fellow by the name of Richard Trevithick.

Water is powerful, and useful, and ancient---

And in its antiquity, it is patient.

That which has fallen upon the geologic ramparts that schism the land from north to south, needs some place to go.

For eons it has sought the seas, and in an effort to reach them it has flowed from headwaters in the Sawatch Range and the Sangre de Cristos, scouring prehistoric and ever-changing channels across the land in a seemingly random and meandering fashion.

The Arkansas and the Cimarron and the Canadian Rivers, along with their local tributaries and a thousand other flows, have removed sediments from the land since the Laramide orogeny, 80 million years ago, and faithfully deposited them into the oceans, leaving the High Plains of today’s continental United States anything but flat.

Water, perhaps more than any other natural element, has been the bane of railroad builders and operators for more than two centuries. It has created rivers to bridge, canyons to blast rights-of-way out of, and then it has sent raging torrents down to destroy both; yet without it, Trevithick’s contraption would remain as fanciful as anything Jules Verne could imagine.

And though the builders of the Southern Kansas Railway had no gorges to contend with, they were nonetheless saddled with the watersheds that rippled the land across Indian Territory and all the way to the bluffs of the Llano Estacado over Texas way.

Here, in the cool and colorful and splendorous moments that precede the dawn of an April morning, is evidence of such.

While the eastbound grade up out of the valley of Wolf Creek is by no means as mentionable as that which tunnels under Raton, it is still held in respect by those who throttle their charges along BNSF’s Panhandle Subdivision.

Our crew aboard an old Dash-9 has reached a brief interlude, an over-the-hump equilibrium of sorts on the great curve at Gerlach, Oklahoma. Just moments before, our hogger set his units for dynamic braking, and trumpeted for the South County Road 198 grade crossing as he coaxed 6,000 tons and just as many feet of train up from Shattuck, in the process rolling over names like Buzzard Creek and Boggy Creek, and running along the margin of Sand Creek, there to push over the top of the grade and have the windshield view filled with this.

In days long passed, when conductors and engineers were revered and respected and were the absolute authorities over their realms---

When brass was polished and boiler jackets shined and lace curtains could be found in the cab and caboose alike---

Coffee brewed on a potbelly stove or was kept hot in a mason jar placed strategically against the locomotive backhead, there to be shared in drowsy moments along a run that began in Amarillo sometime after midnight.

Today, the waycars are long gone and backheads have morphed into digital control consoles, but coffee is still the nemesis of fatigue, with fresh aromas filling the cab as the hot contents of a stainless-steel thermos bottle are poured into a travel mug---

A Rule G-compliant version of ‘reserve proof’ not quite hot enough to burn the tongue with the first sip, but just right.

And in that savoring, there is only the rumble of an FDL behind the bulkhead, and the whine of dynamics as the aged GE performs as advertised.

Nothing else.

No words to spoil the moment.

Only a brief intermission when all the world is right.

A stasis between the push and the pull of life.

While the tie knotters are still fully in slumber, the fortunate take their pleasure in hot coffee and a gaze out over the valley of the North Canadian River, and there before them, as an ornament dangling on the invisible bough of orbital gravity---

The last dying sliver of a crescent moon---

Faint and struggling in the eastern sky, trapped between the receding colors of night and the luminance of an emerging day---

A gift from the universe, either by chance or by design, presented to them at this particular spot on a curve they’ve rounded countless times.

Soon enough the signal at West Gerlach will come into view, and they’ll roll down into Woodward on a ‘clear’ indication.

But for now, in the last few semi-tranquil seconds, there is little else to do but admire creation in all its multi-hued glory.

It never gets old.

One might wonder, only in a joking manner, really, if the view from corporate headquarters could be this magnificent.

Perhaps not audible above the throb and drone of diesel locomotion, a slight chuckle offered forth from the right-hand seat might answer that question---

Not a chance in hell.

Okay, I suck. I haven't been updating Flickr and my pain in the neck store manager is on my case - she even made a spreadsheet!. Please go to Nuke's flickr page and tell her to lay off poor, overworked, tired Sliye. Extra points and maybe free stuff if you call her a hobag. xox

This is the [RnR] Montana Bench - it was released at our beloved Cosmo two weeks ago, but now you can pick it up in store :)

It comes with menu-based texture changes, and they're interchangeable, so you can have dark wood with light leather, or light wood with dark leather or inbetween or all dark or all light! Fancy!

Rhyme nor Reason Main Store:

maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Paracosm/40/194/28

Don't forget, RnR is running a photo comp, any photo containing an RnR item that tags us on flickr is eligible to enter and voting will be done at the end of month live music event in the Paracosm club beneath the store. Last Friday of the month at 7am SLT. Lovely L$ and lots of fun stuff up for grabs. :)

big numbers by wheres_bruce

I am conditioned to big numbers. They're my thing. I don't blink.

Numbers on a page, in a spreadsheet, in a formula are one thing; easily rationalised.

This is another thing. Everyone of these painted hearts isn't a number. Each was just a single digit in the enumeration of the COVID dead. Except each digit was just a placeholder for a life lost and each their stories, what made up each one is orders and orders of magnitude as a multiplier to this simple head count.

Think of the relationships, the social networks, the health of entire communities impacted.

I blinked.

You know that feeling when you've created a spreadsheet, then spent hours entering data from a paper copy? Then, after a few hours, you think "that's not right". So you investigate, and find out that you haven't been given all the sheets? So now, you need to go through every month, checking if there is missing data?

And you lose the will to live?

That.

I needed a break from the computer. I had a cream cake for afternoon tea break, but needed to wash up first.

I've got another task now, so tomorrow will be yet more data entry. Oh, and there is no elegant way to eat a chocolate eclair!

Glamour Coated Elyse Jolie by storm storm 2.0

4 7

I am taking my time with these reviews, as nothing is really happening at the moment. I am demotivated to do previews as IT changed the strategy and is revealing a doll by a doll, or very small (capsule) collections, and and I really loved having a full collection to preview, like 6 dolls and when you make a spreadsheet it really looks fun to write about. Also, we are waiting for so many preoorders and of-course convention is right behind the corner, so more dolls to wait to be shipped. All of that somehow killed the buzz for me for new dolls, so I am going through previously released dolls that I skipped and I keep adding them to my collection, so I will do reviews of some older dolls!

Anyway, this was a lottery doll offered to Wclub members. Edition size 1,500 offered for $180. Pretty steep, right... But, than I thought FR2 dolls were $175, so $180 seems fine for a doll with same body and sculpt, and screening.

Makeup & Hairstyle - this is a 7th Elyse with Dark Swan screening and the first one with pale skintone since Flawless and Engaging. It took only 11 years to see her again in this skintone. Even though this is my favorite screening for Elyse (could be for all sculpts too) I do not feel her. Before this NRFB I got a nude one for a makeover. That one had much yellower head and her paint was lighter. This Elyse though does not have that yellowish tint and her paint is much more darker and somehow lush. Still, I do not feel her. As I used to have Engaging, I can tell you, yes, screening is the same, but paint application, and probably paint quality make a huge difference. She has the same hairstyle as Vendetta Agnes. Not sure what to think about it, at one moment I like it, at the other... What I would do different: change color of eyebrows - lighter ones would be better; change color of lips - this shade of red seems so dated; change eyeshadow below her eyebrows - why yellow?!? she doesn't have anything yellow in the outfit! Pale mint green would be so much better and light lilac lips. She would also look great with red hair. 8.5/10

Outfit & Accessories - Similar to her face and hair, her outfit is also an unusual combination of things. If you go back to older versions of Elyse/Elise you will see that her appearance was fitting for a role she has as a principal of a school. It looked like she has a good sense for style and fashion. This time she looks like a crazy lady that picked up different items (not necessarily from her closet, but some kind of old clothes container) without much meaning. Yes, I love the lining on her coat, yes, I love fabric they chose for her skirt, and yes, I do like the color of the sweater. But, cut-outs on her skirt are just too much with naked belly and artsy shape of her coat. The coat closes below on her neck. The sweater has a strange fit, although I like the nod to the older outfits. Also, the sweater does not have a closure (just a small button on the top of her back. So, you will have to put it over her head. Now, they didn't think much about her hairstyle, as they just put a lot of product on the bun, so when you put on the sweater it messes her bun even on the first try. She has new pair of earrings, which are not in scale with her head, they would probably look good on 16" dolls. The bag is interesting, quite popular at the moment, but I do not see it with the shoes. I am totally confused by this outfit and I have no suggestion how to make things better. 7/10

Production Issues & Quality - everything is pretty good here. This doll belongs to Maison FR Paris Collection, but she does not come with a story card. That is a big minus for me. FYI my second doll has pretty big difference between the color of her body and head (yellowish). Still, this one is pretty perfect. 10/10

Overall - she is just OK, yes, there are bits and pieces you can use for redressing and yes, she has this famous screening, but unless you are a vivid collector of Elyse or this particular screening, I say pass. The risk to give us something spectacular did not pay this time. 8/10

P1050573 - 2021-08-07 - EBA - No. 7 - "Beatrice" - 0-6-0ST at Embsay Station by George McVitie

A Photo from Day 8 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

When planning this "Rail Tour" I had hoped to go the Great Central Railway (GCR) at Loughborough but a lack of Timetables on their web site and a shortage of anything i viewed as attractive in terms numbers of Steam Locomotives in service on this day (Saturday) prompted a change of plan.

I decided to go to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway (EBA) in the morning and I can move onto the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) in the afternoon. It is only about 30 minutes by car between the 2 railways.

I joined at Embsay and was given a whole compartment to travel in to keep me away from other passengers. I think the railway must have been wanting to be careful and not take any risks of possibly allowing Covid to spread on their Railway.

Here, after travelling along the line to Bolton Abbey Station and back to Embsay Station, No. 7 "Beatrice" is almost ready to run round the carriages to get ready for the next journey.

"Beatrice" No. 7 is a Hunslet Works No. 2705 0-6-0ST loco.

Honey bee on Ilex cornuta by Conall

9 3

Ilex cornuta is commonly called Chinese holly.

This one is a 4 metre tree at Rowallane.

It flowers much earlier than our native holly and it has smaller leaves.

The bees were working it hard and seemed to be getting both nectar and pollen. A small pollen load, whitish cream in colour is visible here,

A new one for my Honey bees on named flowers set set

And will also go on the botanically sorted spreadsheet at:

P1050492 - 2021-08-04 - ESR - 46447 - Ivatt Class 2 - 2-6-0 at Cranmore by George McVitie

5 1

A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.

Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.

There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.

The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.

Here, at Cranmore Station, 46447 has just powered the return journey the Steam Train I have a ticket for.

46447 is an Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

This week-end involved 2 Heritage Railways with the Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

Here, after arriving at Weybourne Station hauled by Double Header of WD 90775 "The Royal Norfolk Regiment" and LNER Loco 8572 I got this photo of Riddles designed and Horwich Works built BR Std, 4MT Loco 76084 which I think was the only one of the 6 locos I didn't managed to get hauled by during this Steam Gala..

There were 6 Locomotives in Steam for the Gala Event Sunday.

Honey bee on snowdrop by Conall

Success, of sorts.

The snowdrop is badly overexposed but at least I got a picture.

You make my brain go round! by I C Thermals

Looking at this object closely, its a very complex 'document' -cleverly made and designed to be virtually indestructible, virtually impossible to forge, and yet to be graphically interesting - especially close-up. This afternoon, my wife and I have been discussing our home and personal finances, and examining our spreadsheets in some detail. The detail and complexity which my wife has built into these spreadsheets is impressive, so this single £10 note probably sums up the afternoon's work for me.

Spreadsheets to write, then data to input. But first, important stuff. Nails to paint and coffee to drink!

Not a great picture! But the best of a bad bunch from a short session on Sunday. The bees dont stay still on this!
