A 3D printer would make this a lot easier... I just haven't had the time to build these crossing pieces (aqua) by hand. I'll hopefully have these assembled by the time Fx Bricks' P40 switches are released so i can also attempt to make 9V-compatible versions.
This mockup was done in Stud.io and is based on BrickTracks' R104 switch files.
Another installment in the small mech series. This time its Switch Fang! I tried incorporating the CCBS pieces in more interesting ways :D Hope you enjoy the build as much as i do :D Build video can be found on my youtube channel youtu.be/fLbU5Wno6h4

This switcher is an MLW S-3 built for Bathurst Power & Paper in 1953 which Ivaco Rolling Mills acquired in 1999; The cab was rebuilt at some point. It clearly has not been in use for some time now. This is a bit southwest of the mill.

WCGS pauses for a moment just outside of donaldson before splitting the power to switch out the spur
One of the many great things about short line railroads is that many of them have not replaced these massive station name signs. Class 1 railroads often seem to replace these with smaller signs at either end of the station (or siding). But, not the case here in Holyoke, CO as a westbound manifest actually makes a reverse move to the east by the sign on the main track. If you look beneath the Holyoke sign, you can see the conductor, riding on the rear boxcar, protecting the reverse move back toward the remainder of the train.

Its time to put those thinking lights on and bury my head in the books so rich with knowledge and full of learning. I have been so lifted from the comments you sweet caring people made on my previous photo that i just couldn't resist to upload today! Couldn't thank you all personally but I'm seriously so happy to meet so many wonderful people here. You guys know who you are. The support here really touched me and I'm still here, and will continue to try as this is my outlet and my inspirations come to life through taking this journey. Going to Uni and being a Mum at the same time is hard work 'big sigh' Not sure what i can handle at the moment so will just take things one day at a time.....
Have a wondeful weekend all you lovely Flickr People! :)
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

To me, lighting really sets the mood for a room. A 40 watt bulb in a cheap lamp is the same as a 40 watt bulb in an expensive one.

After the switching is done, the local is ready to head to Mayfair and Proviso. Hard to believe the line hosted unit coal trains and heavy Manifest's and winter ore moves with Century 628's!
Just driving down from shooting my previous frame (272 in Bartlett) I over heard on the radio, CN 5792 switching at West Chicago yard. Alright, I'll shoot a dumpy CN SD75I passing the tower....
Well, I forgot that L520 doesn't spin at Spaulding. It was my lucky day as L520 came around the corner...

Fully Charged Live 2021 (aka Fully Charged Outside) was the latest event to be held at the Farnborough International site in Farnborough, Hants. The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.
I visited on the overcast Saturday and returned on the sunny Sunday. For the record, buses seen were:

The spring switch indicator at the East End of the Naples siding is still illuminated more than three years after NS shutdown most of the former signals on the W-Line. In the distance, new owner Blue Ridge Southern's W44 job switches the west end of the siding at Southern Concrete.

A sunny afternoon in the quaint border town of Fort Erie, Ontario finds CN 2100 (née CNW 8553) sitting on the once busy shop track. Today, Ft. Erie is all but a shadow of it's former self, and the vintage switch lock is one of the few reminders from the once bustling yard.

This is a set of 6 photos showing the local Santa Fe job switching the elevator at Kentland, Indiana on July 2nd, 1986. Train had ATSF 3063-3071 and arrived with 9 cars. Crew set 5 hoppers in the elevator and departed with 4 cars.
In this shot, the engineer is seen looking in the mirror while the conductor is spotting the elevator.
One of McGill's brand new Yutong E12's leaving Braehead on a 26 service to Nethercraigs. McGill's have an order for 55 Yutong E12 electric buses (plus one ADL/BYD E200EV) with I5001 (SG71 MXH) one of the first to enter service.
A local picks up a string of hoppers from an industry. Unfortunately, due to the location of the switch and the length of the train, the north switch at Brighton is blocked, preventing the coal empty on the siding from being able to continue north.

A BNSF coal train behind Burlington Northern C30-7 No. 5541 cools its heels on the Hill Track while the Lumber Street Lead switch is repaired by MOW forces. The overhead bridge above the section crew is the CTA’s Douglas Park “L” Line. Note the rear of an eastbound WC hopper train on the B&OCT, in December 1998.
