Pannier 9466 at Stratford this evening, during a test run from Tyseley and back. Though this trip was to give the locomotive a run out on the mainline ahead of The Pannier Rambler tour next Saturday, the train did carry fare paying passengers.
The new Test-Bed Telescope 2, a European Space Agency telescope, is housed inside the shiny white dome shown in this picture, at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The telescope has now started operations and will assist its northern-hemisphere twin in protecting us from potentially hazardous, near-Earth objects.
The domes of ESO's 0.5 m and the Danish 0.5 m telescopes are visible in the background of this image.

I built this for the guys over at tested.com, as a thank you for having me as a guest on Octobercast 2013.
Viewing Large on Black is a MUST!!!!

Testing a 1997 Dated Kodak High Speed Infra Red film found in my feezer with an ASAHI PENTAX LX that I have not used for a long time as it suffers the 'Sticky Mirror Syndrome' It free up after a bit of use, I used SMC Pentax-A 24mm f2.8 and SMC Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 lenses with a 25A RED Filter and processed in home-made FX-15 1+1 for 14 mins @ 20oC All in CHELMSFORD, Essex, Central Park .

20097 was used to haul the slip/brake test transit movement from Derby RTC to Crewe. The Class 20 unusually operating singly, nose end first; on this occasion the Class 20 was replaced with a Class 47, 47113 for the purposes of testing between Crewe and Winsford.
Class 20, 20097 built in 1961 numbered D8097 was withdrawn in 1989 and scrapped at M C Metals in Glasgow during late 1991.

A very rusty Citroen Type H van, inside a long-abandoned factory in Northern Italy.
Ex Garzificio Sanitaria Ceschina (vedi tutte le foto)
The factory was built in 1907 and had great success during the two world wars, when it mainly produced medical goods for the Italian Army. The infamous "guncotton" (aka nitrocellulose), a highly flammable material used for assembling bombs and explosives, was also produced here. As of now, the badly decayed buildings have been abandoned for many decades.

La fabbrica è stata costruita nel 1907 ed ebbe grande successo durante le due guerre mondiali, quando la produzione consisteva principalmente in materiale medico per l'esercito italiano. Anche il famigerato "fulmicotone" (alias nitrocellulosa), materiale altamente infiammabile utilizzato per bombe ed esplosivi, era prodotto in questo luogo. Ad oggi gli edifici pericolanti risultano abbandonati da svariati decenni.
Colas Class 67 67023 leads 1Q18, Network rail test train from Heaton to Cambridge via Kings Cross, through New Southgate.
Fisheye view of Epcot's Test Track thrill ride at night. Test Track is probably my favorite ride/attraction in Epcot, albeit I don't think this theme park is necessarily known for its "rides." I used the Nikon 10.5mm DX fisheye for this shot. Nice lens, but it may not be wide-enough to really create that "fisheye" effect.
Comments welcome. Thanks for Stopping By!
A further loaded test run around the Carnforth circuit for Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' Class no. 35018 'British India Line' took place on the 7th March 2018. Here the train passes Armistead on the Little North Western line, still showing signs of a continuing problem. Nevertheless, on this occasion, the whole circuit was completed.
On a lovely day in the Surrey Hills, GBRf class 73/9 no.73962 'Dick Mabbutt' leads 1Q69 12:19 South Croydon to Derby RTC Network Rail track recording train passed Hackhurst Farm near Abinger Hammer on 25th January 2025. Class 73/9 no.73963 'Janice' can be seen on the rear. The train had originated at Dollands Moor, where it had been used on it's regularly scheduled overnight testing of HS1.
Yesterday we looked out our windows and saw people and equipment on the Sheboygan River.. I thought it might be Coast Guard practicing ice rescue, something they do annually. When I went to check it out, I discovered that they were ice fishermen. They said they had tested the ice and it appeared to be 6"thick. The less than cautious fishermen were very fortunate not to need an ice rescue team.
Here is an overview shot of me at my test station and hobby work area set up on my dinner table. It is hardly a glamour shot but is typical of me at home working on my model railroad. The raised platform on my table is the deck for my upper staging yard on my model railroad. There are photos of me building it last year. I pulled it off for several days so I could paint it without making a mess on my layout and get to the track on my lower staging yard. Piled on the deck are several of the tools I am using plus the paint pens for weathering the track. I painted the track a few pieces at a time on my plastic cutting board and have already completed that part of the operation. The track paint is water soluble and comes off easily in the kitchen sink.
For several months I have been weathering some of my bright and shiny Kato Unitrack using felt tip paint pens from Woodland Scenics. I paint the steel rails a brown-black color and some of the wooden crossties (sleepers in UK rail terminology) a dark brown color. That makes the track look a lot more realistic, but the paint must be removed from the top of the rails, the rail joiners, and certain parts of the switch points in order to maintain electrical continuity between the trains and track. After the paint has dried, I rub an abrasive Bright Boy along the tops of the rail, the metal portion of the Unijoiners, and the inside surfaces of the switch points.
I snap the Unijoiners back onto each piece of track and connect each weathered piece of track with my test rig. The 12 volt DC power is fed via the blue and white wires from my power supply to an unpainted S62F feeder track upstream from the items to be tested. In this case, I am testing a left hand #6 switch and several pieces of curved and straight track to make sure I have continuity. The red and black wires control the switch motor. I run the engine forward and backward on each route of the switch several times to insure a good electrical path. All of my newly painted track is tested on my work table before I install them on the layout.
