NS 5281 pulls west on the Nofolk Southern Lurgan Branch near Mount Holly Springs, PA after switching directions. NS 93M ran with two GP38-2's as it ran DOTX 218 back and forth during track testing. The Federal Railroad Administration car is based at the Ensco rail facility near Chambersburg and is used by the FRA's Office of Research and Development.
It started off running nicely to time, but somewhere around Leicester it all went belly-up. Here the train was 89 minutes late. The working, on Sunday 13th May, was 10:00 Derby RTC - Norwich. What was RTC? Something something Centre, obviously ...Rail Traction? In the end I flew to Wikipedia. The Railway Technical Centre at Derby was claimed by British Rail at its opening in the early 1960s as the largest railway research complex in the world. Today, the article avers, "the only facility which is still used for railway research is the moving-model aerodynamic test facility". And, further, "A large part of the site is used as storage and an operating base by LORAM and Network Rail, whose rolling stock on site forms part of Network Rail testing trains. Usual traction on these trains is either Colas Rail class 37s or class 67s". This was one of the test trains then, "top & tailed" by a pair of 37s with the customary yellow coaches ...ex BR Mk IIIs by the look of them. I haven't seen a Class 31 on these trains in recent years: are there any still running?
Only close to sunset timing then the exposure is better, at this timing no need to under-expose for white color
As part of our Wonderbot project, I am building a small puppet theater in my studio, to experiment with poetic robots and interactive storytelling. Before building out a permanent framework, I am testing a few ideas, to best combine physical objects with digital images and sounds. In this test, the projector is pointing down from the ceiling so that characters can stand in front of the projected image without blocking it. With the projector about five feet away from the back wall, it can beam a backdrop that’s about 4 feet wide by 3 feet high.
We are creating a short story around Violet and Indigo, two ‘wonder ducks’ created by Natalina, which we’ve turned into 'poetic robots’. We’re now starting to write a loose script to guide their interactions, with dialog, music, sound effects, props and backdrops. We hope this fairy tale will inspire which features to give these duckbots (e.g.: respond to each other’s calls, approach or avoid one another). Our goal is to capture the best scenes on video and edit it all together into a compelling story at the end of this project. I can’t wait to see how far we can go with this.

This is a test configuration of my Takahashi FSQ-106ED, a QHY mini guide 'scope with Starlight Xpress Lodestar X2 guide camera, and a finder 'scope the I plan to install in my small observatory that I am remodeling. My new Paramount MYT mount that will carry the above equipment is in my previous photo. The imaging camera is a Starlight Xpress Trius SX-36 with a "Maxi" filter wheel.
I would like to put both the guide 'scope/camera and the finder 'scope on the top plate, but doing so uses some of the holes that I need to mount the top plate to the OTA rings. I would have to drill some new holes, and I may do that, but I hate to mar that beautifully machined and anodized plate from PrimaLuce Lab. Stay tuned.

A small test piece I created to test the slat deployment mechanism. The challenge was translating push-pull spanwise motion to chordwise motion. The solution was creating spanwise stip that pushes thin strips of paper along a curved (90º) paper track. The resulting mechanism makes for incredibly precise and synchronized motions across multiple slat tracks at the same time (=SUCCESS!). Here you can see the curved lower track.
