Remember them? I found this pic in my photo folder on my computer and I was immediately filled with memories, LOL.
Ah, they had potential to be a pretty awesome line. The clothes were on-trend and not all garishly pink with glitter. The dolls had sweet faces and even though the bodies were static, they were supposed to be like mannequins. I still see them on the shelves languishing with clearance prices. I loved the fashion packs. Those were awesome and had great pieces.

The legendary Dagupan Bus Co 510 Mitsubishi bus heading for Dagupan. Movie from Dolphy's Bugoy Goes To Congress.
Fallow deer stags have almost completed their antlers by mid August, although they are still velvet covered.
This week we are going back fifteen years to 2010, and to VG 24 on Ardlea Road with a service on route 27B to Eden Quay.
Route 27B started operating between the city centre and Castletimon (going via Artane and Kilmore) in 1971. In 2004 it was extended to Harristown, going via Santry.
VG 24 was new to Dublin Bus in 2008, and is still in service. In 2025 it lost its Dublin Bus livery for the Transport for Ireland livery.

This week we are going back fourteen years to Dublin Bus EV 53 on Burgh Quay with a service on route 151 to Adamstown. This route started operating between Docklands Station and Grange Castle in March 2007, running via the Crumlin Road. In July of that year it was extended to Adamstown, which was a new town being built out in west Dublin near Lucan. In 2010 under Network Direct changes the route was cut back to terminate in Foxborough. Route 25B was introduced at the same time which ran to Adamstown via Palmerstown, and provided an interchange with the 151 in Foxborough. The current 151 no longer uses Burgh Quay either. It currently crosses the River Liffey via the Roise Hackett Bridge and reaches College Street via Hawkins Street.
EV 53 was delivered new to Dublin Bus in December 2008. In fact, this Enviro 400 entered service just two days before this picture was taken. It was withdrawn from service in February 2022.

Yesterday's post shows this rail fan extra with Erie Lackawanna E8's 816 and 823 crossing RT17K in Montgomery, NY. Today we are a couple of hundred yards to the south at Clinton St. where the station was. It appears the extra has paused for a bit. Maybe for a fan photo line. It also appears a few chasers were on hand.
I could be wrong, but in front of the station, it appears to have some sort of tilt order board signal.
I myself had several of my early chases as a passenger in a 1963 2 door Plymouth Fury like the one in the photo. It had 318 "big block" and push a button transmission. It was fast and rode as smooth as glass.

Date and photographer unknown.
Oh my, this one is cringey...
But quite possibly the most fond memory of all.
Anyway, this one dates back to... *checks date* 2013?! I was 11 then. Woah.
Anywho, this is from ye' ol' long retired LEGO.com Lord of the Rings Gallery. Pip's People was a little comic series thing I did about Pip interviewing various Middle-Earth characters and getting hurt %75 of the time. :P
It ran for three seasons of ten episodes on the LotR gallery and was continued later on the LEGO.com General Gallery.
Ya' know, a comedy thing would be kinda' neat here... I'll have to think about trying that sometime.
It's October 22, 1999, and CSX local Y101 has just finished dropping off a cut of cars at the North Baltimore grain elevator for loading. CSX is only a few months into the Conrail acquisition and numerous variations of paint can be seen on trains all across the now even larger CSX system. With no other customers between here and Fostoria, Y101 will head back West to Defiance yard where it will tie down until the following day.
In reality, this is CSX train M558 with a load of LTEX bound units, presumably headed for scrap. This unit has definitely seen better days, and from the looks of it, this may be its last mainline ride. Also in the consist were 3 SW9/1200's and one former SP tunnel motor.

as I prep for another journey, I fondly remember last years Death Valley trip. Looking forward to the new journey !
Do check it out in large format....
Back in late 2016, when I first began to learn how to get the most out of a camera, I discovered the magic of Neutral Density filters and Long Exposure Photography. At that time for me I swear I never captured an image where the exposure was less than 5 seconds. Streaky, cloud dragged skies and water that was either surreally smooth or ghost like mist, I was obsessed.
Since then, as my tastes have changed in what I like to shoot, I’ve begun to use filters less and less. To the point where now, it’s unusual for me to use anything other than a Circular Polariser when I shoot water.
But from time to time conditions present themselves where I default back to my original instincts and reach for the filters. Consider this my “throwback”…
In the later 90's I felt like I was managing to become a little more refined in my presentation after some rather clumsy attempts in the earlier years. Unfortunately had yet to have that epiphany, the one about how a pretty smile will make vanity photos much more appealing.
This week we are going back thirty-nine years to another demonstrator bus in Dublin. SC 1 / 405 UZO is seen crossing O'Connell Bridge on its way to Tallaght. This bus had a Marshall body bus on a Scania chassis and spent a number of months on test with CIE around 1982. By this time CIE had received around 100 of the KD Bombardier double deckers, which would eventually end with KD 366. The demonstrator is also painted in a similar two-tone green livery that the KDs were delivered in. Following its time with CIE, this Scania demonstrator joined the fleet of AA Motor Services in Scotland. It was withdrawn in the mid-1990s.
The bus is displaying route 2 but more likely it was on route 65A. The bus regularly worked a service on route 2 into Dublin city centre from Sandymount and then did the 09:00 departure on the 65A to Embankment in Tallaght. The 65A was removed from the network in 1994.
On a final note, the truck beside the bus is also a CIE vehicle, this one from the freight division.

Circa early 2009. Follower of Argentaros and another of the seven mysterious Quntaino, the beings hatched from the keystone eggs on Terra Nui.
Another fairly old throwback MOC, Snimurai here does have a pretty straightforward build using the Inika frame, but I think the Karzahni parts were used to good effect.
