A Day Trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for the Sunday of a 2 day Event celebrating Lancashire and Yorkshire carriages

As Usual, 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.

 

As part of a series of "Vintage Trains" weekends, there were 2 trains operating on this day but because of a fear of Lineside Fires, This train was aided by a small diesel shunter.

 

Here, no. 41241, an Ivatt designed and Crewe Works built for the LMS Class 2MT 2-6-2T locomotive is at Oxenhope Station having travelled up the valley from Keighley,

A Day Trip to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for the first day of their 2021 Autumn Steam Gala,

As Usual, 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, Visiting from the Great Central Railway (GCR) and approaching up the 1 in 49 incline towards Goathland Station is 48305, a Stanier designed and Crewe Works built for the LMS Class 8F 2-8-0 Steam Locomotive.

 

Actually, although difficult to see, 48305 is the first part of a Double Header with 5428 "Eric Treacy" as a LMS and Stanier designed loco pairing and I now need to get over the footbridge to catch this train to Levisham.

A weekend away started at the Great Central Railway at Loughborough with a visit to their Autumn Steam Gala.

 

As Usual, 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, at Leicester North Station, 65894, a J27 0-6-0 Locomotive owned and Maintained by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG) is running round a train it has just hauled along the railway line.

 

65894 was designed by Worsdell and Raven and built at Darlington Works for NER.

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 Mendip Vale Station after running round the train, 46447 is about to power the return journey to Cranmore.

 

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

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, Bulleid Pacific 34028 "Eddystone" a SR 4-6-2 loco at Swanage Station has run round the train which recently arrived and is in position at the front of the train I will travel on as far as Corfe Castle Station.

34028 "Eddystone" is taking on Water ready for the journey.

A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.

As Usual, 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.

 

403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.

 

Here, 401 - "Vulcan" is leading Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" as a Double-Header for the journey back from Percy Main station to Middle Engine Lane.

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 Wirksworth Station - after my second round 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.

 

(The DM Units were just being used as carriages).

Atrina Center, Athens – Architect Ioannis Vikelas

Presenting a series of buildings on the routes of ATHENS ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY Workshop, Nov. 23-26/27 (Full Workshop Description and sign up here: goo.gl/wd4Gh

 

Not my usual kind of image, but a moment I liked a lot and thought that it was worth a still shot. Of course, there is also the LE version waiting to be processed and will be out as well, hopefully soon.

 

One of the landmarks of Athens, this building is designed by the same architect that designed the Athens Towers, of which I have already posted two shots: A Path to the Sky I -The Tower and also A Path to the Sky II -The Sky Beyond , both awarded with Honorable Mention at the IPA 2012, and just like the towers, this building is a high-rise structure, very slim and elegant, highly suited for dynamic compositions taken from very near to the building, as this shot, as well as from further away. And of course for LE shots, even if this shot isn't one. I so much loved this cloud resting just above the building, it seemed almost mystical to me, especially that it came out of nowhere, on a hot summer day, with a perfect clear blue sky. All the clouds I had that day came and went in a matter of half an hour or less. Just the time for me to take a few shots and leave. Happily I had the tripod and everything with me, so I didn't miss the occasion. Bears mentioning that the security people of this building were extremely nice and even wanted to help me with shooting.

So, closing the parenthesis and back to the building. It is comprised of three prismatic volumes of different heights, the highest rising at about 8om, creating a very interesting structure that overlooks the area and can be seen from afar. It has a metallic structure, combined with concrete elements and wrapped into a tinted dark glass and metal façade, that can give either very interesting reflections, or a rich matte dark blue hue, depending on the position of the camera.

I'll be posting more photos of different Athens buildings that will be on the routes of the Workshop, here but also on my G+ and Facebook stream, to give an idea about what we are going to see and shoot in November. Hope you'll like them and if yes, you're welcome to Register here for the workshop as well.

 

Have a good weekend everyone! :)

Mazzy Star - Fade into You

www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOpfEU9jSxA

  

Back in 2016 when Felix and I submitted this project reaching 10k was merely a dream but now thanks to you it has come true.

 

Our FIAT 500 will have completed its journey successfully and stuck the landing of the "10k jump". Admittedly, it's not been an easy journey and over the past two years we had our doubts if we could make it in time. All the more we want to thank each and every one of you who supported, commented and shared so we could get there in the end. We really hope you like the improvements we've made to the initial design over the course of time in the update section. We've always tried our best to keep the updates as exciting and interesting as possible.

 

What comes next?

As most of you undoubtedly already know our project will now move on into what's called the LEGO Ideas review. Three times a year LEGO evaluates all the projects that reached 10k independently and checks whether they've got what it takes to become an official set. This review process usually takes a few months. We don't want to get our hopes up but the fact that LEGO approved the Caterham Seven at least shows there would be a market for relatively large scale car models.

 

Shortly after we reach 10k the comment thread as well as the update section will be locked. You're most welcome to follow Gabriele and me on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube though to avoid missing out on further news.

 

Before this happens though we want to thank a few people/groups personally.

Special thanks to:

 

SavetheBrick and MichielsMum aka Heleen for their continued interest and kind comments,

Nicolas Jarraud aka Scrubs who created the fantastic online LEGO CAD-software Mecabricks without which this collaboration would not have been possible,

KovJonas who created a wonderful spreadsheet to keep track of the support history of our project and also helped us with promoting,

Michael Klein aka Renderbicks who inspired our 3D presentations and gave us very useful tips,

The entire Fiat 500 Club Italia for their support and enthusiasm.

And finally all the LEGO fan clubs and websites who featured our project and made this possible.

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us and we hope it's been just as fun of a ride for you as it has been for us.

 

-The creators Gabriele and Felix

Here, at Levisham Station, BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 Locomotive, a Riddles designed and Crewe Works built loco, is about to haul a train going towards Goathland and Grosmont.

At Rowallane, in the walled garden.

 

Having a drink.

I watched this one drinking rain water from a "puddle" in the petal.

I have a few pots on the patio with chives in them.

I love chives and good to see the bees loving them too!

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!

Ulex europaeus

 

I spent some pleasant time this afternoon watching the bees on the gorse flowers along the edge of our lane. They need to work quite hard to open each gorse flower to get in.

This plant was buzzing with both honey bees and white tailed bumble bees on Thursday at Rowallane Gardens. Good to clock it as a good bee plant that i hadnt known about and to get to add a new entry to my Honey bees on named flowers set!

A Photo from Day 9 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.

 

Another Double Railway Day and I decided to go to the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) in the morning and I can move onto the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR) in the afternoon. It is only about 50 minutes by car between the 2 railways.

 

When I arrived at Dereham Station on the Mid Norfolk Railway (MNR), there were 2 Locomotives operating.

 

Here, at Dereham Station, GWR 813 is posing for Photographs with a few freight wagons.

Today children, we are looking through the….…errm……derelict window!

Now settle down quickly and we’ll begin.

 

Lindsey, please stop flicking ink pellets at Mya! You know she promised to bring Pakora’s in for us. You will see Miss Trunchbull at break and be prepared to be hurled out of the window!

And why have you brought that extremely large measuring cylinder in? If I weren’t mistaken, I would think it was a yard of wine glass!

 

Edward Coulson, please may we have your attention and when we do, I would like you to explain to your classmates the fascination in staring at the 5 people standing at the bus stop in the pouring rain!

 

Brian, Brian, Brian, what does it say on the door?

Yes, it says ‘classroom’. It does not say ‘Petting Zoo! In future please leave your farmyard animals at home. I would also ask if you really consider pink wellies appropriate footwear for a juvenile pig?

Honestly a horse and a pig! And what on earth is that steaming pile behind your desk?

 

Miss Hedman, yes, yes, yes, you can be pencil monitor next week.

 

Master Rouse, for the N’th time (where N is a prime integer), please put your spreadsheet and slide rule away. You’ll be pleased to know that we will be studying equilateral triangles later.

 

Your task for today is to match the above images to the following creatures. Please note there may be more than one correct answer to an image.

 

A Dumbo

B Sea Lion

C Dragon

D Sloth

E Chow Dog

F Lesser Spotted Eejit

G Angry Bird

F Knight of the Round Table

G Gymnast

 

Have fun and don't ask the bloody obvious question.......😂

  

You're all pretty cool, so today's track chose itself

I have posted a few of these recently. So this one should be the last one for a while.

 

Such a great plant for spring build up here.

A Quick Trip to see the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum - I was lucky to get a lift to the museum while a friend had an abortive shopping trip (long queues) to a shopping outlet.

As Usual, 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.

 

403 - "Victor" was Visiting from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and meeting up with 401 - "Vulcan", a Home Locomotive built by the same factory for the "Victor" and "Vulcan" together Event at North Tyneside Steam Railway - Stephenson Museum.

 

Here, Visiting Loco 403 - "Victor" has arrived at Percy Main station.

Does anyone recognise who is who in this shot? The director is Alan Parker, working for the advertising agency Collett Dickenson Pearce on Centre Court at Wimbledon. Dated 29 April 1974.

 

From a large collection of advertising stills that I acquired at auction.

Still in flower - It has been in flower since end of December. And still the amazing citrus fragrance from the blooms. You can smell it several metres away.

 

The bees love this shrub lonicera. Clearly a good winter plant to have close to hives (I am making a list of these)
