This is probably the least technically proficient photo that I will ever post, but it shows a little-photographed operation that I only caught once. Prior to Conrail’s construction of the Bethlehem Intermodal yard in the mid-1980’s, the local piggyback ramp was in Allentown’s Linden Street yard, near the site of the Lehigh Valley passenger station. Here a Conrail SW8 switches the small facility in 1982. Today this location is the headquarters of R.J. Corman’s modest operation in Allentown.
WEEK 44 – Wolfchase Sears Closing, Set X (UL)
Happy College GameDay, Memphis! I say this not as a sports fan (since I’m not one) but rather as a proud area citizen, who is happy Memphis got to enjoy the privilege of having College GameDay hosted on Beale Street today. Of course, the show’s probably already over by the time I’m even posting these pictures, but I’m writing the description you’re reading on Wednesday night (i.e. three days ago), so all in all it’s probably a wash :P And speaking of washes – whaddya know, here’s a shot of what was left of the bath department at the now-closed Wolfchase Sears as of my December 10th, 2018, visit! Terrible segue, I know XD But don’t worry, I can make it even worse: looks like all the merchandise had *washed away* when I took this pic! (Sorry not sorry…)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
The VFW-614, of which only 19 were ever produced, and only a handful survive. This example resides at Kemble Airfield / Cotswold Airport where it is used for aeronautical engineering training at Lufthansa Technik.
45.5cm long, 45.5cm wide Cargo Plane built from Dom's Dodge Charger 42111 features 2 engines with spinning turbines and moving pistons that are operated by a chain drivetrain from the top of the aircraft; moving ailerons and elevators via a small joystick, retractable landing gear which moves all 5 wheels thanks to a multi linkage mechanism, openable cargo door and 2 nitrous tanks as a cargo. Additional details in the cockpit.

Designed specially for Moscow Technic Festival on Aug, 26, this Scania Topline truck is powered with a pair of large motors, servo steering, remote control and return-to-centre saddle for easier coupling. The manual functions are presented with openable doors and cab, as well as rear door of the trailer with locking mechanism.
The trailer itself is equipped with another receiver as well as 2 medium motors for coupling / decoupling and outriggers + brake system. Apart from own weight and batteries, the truck is capable to transport at least 1kg extra load, which was the requirement for Rig'n'Roll competition back at the festival.
Hopefully, the video of coupling and driving process (as well as the whole challenge with other contestants) will be published soon - there were enough people filming this whole thing :D

Here a rendering (bluerender) of the LDD file.
Technically you can see the island from our house if you know exactly where to look through the trees, but you get a much better view of it from out on the ocean side of the island ;) Photo by Jonmikel
Taking on this new technic challenge, futuristic motorcycle. After STEM Fest this weekend its back to figure making with Sentinel and Lockdown
So, what is it different from a huge number of other aircraft tugs? To date, this is the first and only representative of the fourth generation because, of course, the best. When we first met, he immediately strike dimensions: length 14.5 m, width of 4.35 m and a height of 2.32 m (without exhaust system) weight of the truck is 70 tons. From him and breathes inside hidden power. And really – his eight-cylinder turbo diesel 12 liters develops immodest 1550 HP Thanks to this power and the latest double-circuit transmission MAT is able to move with a full load at a speed of 25 km/h. For comparison, the maximum speed of most existing tractors under load does not exceed 10 km/h Maximum speed without load is 60 km/h. Such a high rate (at standard tractors it is twice less) allows the machine to quickly and autonomously change their location, especially if to remember its weight and dimensions. Standard ground clearance of the machine is only 14 cm, but the developer is going to release sarojadevi off-road version. Despite the impressive size, the MAT has a high maneuverability thanks to its independent front and rear steering. The new system of smooth adjustment of the angle of the course allows us to reduce the load on the tires when maneuvering and significantly increase their service life. Speaking of tires – even this would not have happened without the revolutionary technologies! They are made from the latest super wear-resistant material – nitrofuranto. Its main feature is the nonlinear elasticity, so engineers were able to abandon the conventional hydraulic suspension and saved so much space and weight. In particular, a tank for hydraulic and, accordingly, oil consumption were reduced by 30%.
The MAT is equipped with two reeving winches, which are able to operate in tap mode in the presence of the outer boom. To ensure stability in the tap mode, and to simplify maintenance (try replacing the wheel with a diameter of 1.8 meters at a 70-ton machine), the machine is equipped with hydraulic full-lift jacks. The winch shafts structurally integrated into the carrying frame of the tractor, ensuring reliable operation and safety.
The MAT is freely extensible platform. In the front of the machine removed oil seals for hydraulic connections, and at the rear of additional mechanical drive. The manufacturer offers as attachments huge blade and the outer jib-crane. Dozer will be especially useful in winter, as the performance of such a machine an order of magnitude greater than that of conventional snow removal equipment. Because the blade is completely beyond the operator's line of sight, the cabin is equipped with hydraulic lifting devices.
Needless to say, the cab operators meet the most modern standards of ergonomics. The touch pad, robotic CAT, review FullHD camera, sound insulation, climate control – everything is done for the best possible experience. Controls the main and auxiliary cabins are fully duplicated, so that the control can be done from any location.
Now, when I talked a bit about the original (photos, unfortunately, are not), you can go to my model. Scale 1:19, just under tech-figure. Accordingly, the following model dimensions: length without attachment – 76,5 cm, width (without/with mirrors) – 23/26 cm, height (without/with exhaust pipes) – 13/15 cm, weight – 4,45 kg. On creation took about a month and a half.
How's this for a fun little technic dog? I've even included the parts so you can build one yourself.
My inspiration for this image came from the “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy gets a little behind on some bills and Ricky decides to get a business manager for her. After taking money to pay all of the essential bills, the manager leaves Lucy with just $5 to spend on food and other extras for herself. Obviously, Lucy schemed to get around this budget, and wound up with a huge bill to the grocery store at the end of the month…but, it got me thinking. Could she really have made $5 stretch as a food budget that month? Not quite, but close…was the answer I gleaned from a quick Google search. In the 50’s a gallon of milk was, on average, only 82 cents, a loaf of bread only 14 cents, and a gallon of gas…get this…only 20 cents! Today you can’t even put together a single meal with that same $5.

RAF Cosford 238 Squadrons’ Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR3 ‘Zero Seven’ (07) registration XZ991, in 1Sqn markings with artic camouflage, formerly based at RAF Wittering.
Part of No 1 School of Technical Training (No 1 SoTT) at RAF Cosford, 238 Squadron have a fleet of SEPECAT Jaguar GR1 and GR3 aircraft, along with a few other airframe types, all of which are used for Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic training. With many thanks to staff of 238 Sqn, I was allowed to photograph the Jaguar aircraft at will, predominantly to provide the detail for a forthcoming 1/48 scale 54 Sqn Jaguar that is being made for me, the first aircraft that I worked on at RAF Coltishall after completing my tech training back in the early 80’s.

Hello Fellow compatriots to yet another moc! or rather a group of mocs! when building these Toa Hagah i wanted to go for whatever would look cool for these builds in the spirit of the original Toa Hagah sets we got with a variation of shoulder builds but also better articulation which has been hungered over for a long time. Now with these Toa individual they each carry a particular theme. Toa Gaaki is filled with vents for a more aquatic feel while her mask having subtle relationship with the mask of clairvoyance, furthermore i made her left handed. With Toa Boomunga i went with the theme of Rock Raiders, intigrating the brown with the black while adding metallic armor. However since there is already so many colors on him already, i reserved the green for the eyes. being the cool one in the group Kualus is Ice Planet themed personified while being asymmetrical with his metallic armor. But also since his right arm is exposed it allows him to swing his pickaxe more effectively fictionally speaking. Now for my boi Pouks, there is only so much that you can do with Mata brown so i made him a beefcake of muscle with a subtle reference of the Tarakava with the arms. Anyways i hope you enjoy these builds!
ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during his last week of training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA. Alexander reviewed the main tasks he has to perform during his mission. His training started two years ago and has moved from general maintenance classes to specific tasks related to the Horizons mission.
Among these tasks are work on the airlock, the replacement of umbilical equipment for Extra Vehicular Activities (EVAs), testing of tools, review of experiments, making repairs and checking the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module.
Alexander will be launched on 6 June with US astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev from the Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. Soyuz MS-09 will be the 138th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft.
The mission is called Horizons to evoke exploring our Universe, looking far beyond our planet and broadening our knowledge. His first mission was called Blue Dot. Alexander will take over command of the International Space Station for the second half of his mission. This is only the second time that a European astronaut will take up this leading position on the space outpost – the first was ESA astronaut Frank De Winne in 2009. Alexander Gerst is the 11th German citizen to fly into space.
The science programme is packed with European research: more than 50 experiments will deliver benefits to people back on Earth and prepare for future space exploration.
