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:

Mineral Range #1300 pulls a set of tank cars out of Dyno Nobel to go into Ishpeming to be interchanged with Canadian National.
With the lead unit, GP9 109 tucked away on a house track, SD40-2 262 pulls the Friday Helena Switch into the siding at Townsend. The 262 will be dropped off here for work train duty, and the 109 will run solo back with Helena with the train.
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.

These switching rail levers were used switch the locos onto the turntable line. Michelago, New South Wales, Australia.
A rough sketch of a 5’x6’ layout that will feature a small town on the side of a mountain. The outer loop will go up to the top of the mountain and to a small station, then back down to the small yard next to the town. The town will have a small trolley loop with it’s own station near the base of the mountain, and then both lines will meet at a larger station in the bottom right corner.
Just an fyi: I have no timetable for this project..!
The amount of track required:
- 1 loop of r36
- 4 r36 half curves
- 2 loops of r48
- 32 straights
- 8 half straights
- 12 quarter straights
- 4 rail adapters (for buffered sidings)
- 3 L+R pairs of r36 switches
- 2 r36 double slip switches
I’ll be basing my rolling stock on the Rhb, and already I have a mockup of a De 2/2.

CNW RS-3 1554 has finished its work for the day and it is returning from the Winona Levee to the CNW Yard in Winona, MN. It is about to pass under the CNW mainline bridge. Mike E. Crowe ventured up onto the steel bridge that crosses the switching lead to take the photo. By this time, the CNW trackage up the embankment and across the Mississippi River was largely out of use.

At one time there used to be a switch here that led to a spur into a paper plant at Jaite, Ohio. The spur is still in place although cut a little off to the left. The switch and a portion of the spur may have been removed but the ties provide a tell tale sign of what used to be here. These tracks are owned by the National Park Service and part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad is the only user of the line today.
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.

A classic NdeM switch lock is still protecting the switch at the junction between the línea FA mainline and the branch to the coastal town of Progreso, which has been abandoned for over 25 years. The rails were removed on the northern part of the line long ago, but a few sections remain mostly intact within Mérida city limits.
