To replace the – 40 year old and never serviced – bottom bracket on the Gent’s Touring I got this new one made by Token.
I measured 127 mm on the old spindle, but since it was asymmetrical and I had some room to spare on both sides I bought this 122.5 mm long version.
The old bottom bracket weighed about. 380 gramm, this new one (with Carbon!) just under 260. Almost a third lighter!

That's How the Assistant Loco Pilot and Loco Pilot Risk's their Life,even the Flag Exchanging Staffs also.
Here is the Token Exchange between a railway staff and Assistant Loco Pilot of the running train.
The ALP Dropped a token and Picked this up in this Unique Fashion while the train was in High Speed Motion...!!
In Single Line Section where there is only one set of tracks for up and down trains,all trains have to take a token to proceed further,it is a sigh that "Yes you can Enter Now,the track is clear and you have the Authority".
They Are the Real Superhero's of India.

Tokens are a simple 19th century idea so no two trains can be on a section of single track at any one given time, hence avoiding any collisions.

I created this little rose design in the spirit of victorian love tokens for a papercutting workshop this weekend at Wing & Clover in Rhinebeck, NY: wingandclover.com.
The center opens up to a little space for a secret sentiment.

Patriotic Civil War Token
This patriotic token was meant to remind voters that fate of the nation depended upon the re-election of President Lincoln in the fall elections.
These old tokens, also known as bar chips are from a now closed bar which was located in Larksville, PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
These colorful and nostalgic collectibles have a good following of collectors.

This is how the token exchange is done during the night time. This one was speeding at nearly 80 kmph
1) The khalasi lights a 'Mashal' and holds up in the right hand
2) The LP honks and acknowledges from far off
3) The khalasi then holds up the token ring in the left hand
4) The LP switches the headlights off to enable the assistant to sight the token ring next to the fire
5) voila, before you can say 'token', the token ring is collected by the assistant
All in all an exciting visual
The new TTC tokens are slightly fatter than the old ones -- and thus more difficult to insert into ye olde token holder. Damn you TTC!
Brass token used in a Haslingden (Lancashire UK) foundry. Probably used to check which worker were present. One of my Chattwood relatives worked at this foundry so perhaps it could be his.
In memory of
FREDk. PHILIP FORSTER WOOD,
Lieutenant 7th. Royal Fusiliers,
eldest son of The Reverend
FREDERICK WOOD,
rector of Erwarton and Woolverstone,
and EMILY his wife:
killed in action at Kandahar,
in Afghanistan, August 16. 1880,
aged 23 years.
This tablet has been errected
by friends and neighbours, as a
token of their esteem,
of regret of his early death,
and of sympathy with his
sorrowing family.
2nd Lt. Frederick Philip Forester Wood, 2nd. Battalion, 7th. Regiment of Foot (Royal Fusiliers).
Born on 13th. March 1857 at Hopesay, Shropshire, the elder son of the Reverend Frederic and Emily Wood, nee Pratt.
Frederick was a Gentleman Cadet at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was commissioned into the 76th. Regiment of Foot on 30th. January 1878, although the National Archives records him serving with the 33rd. Regiment of Foot.
He then transferred to the 2nd. Battalion, 7th. Regiment of Foot (Royal Fusiliers) in Belgaum, Bombay, India. The regiment were then deployed to Afghanistan for the Second Anglo-Afghan War 1878-1880.
Deh Khoja was a village to the east of Kandahar that Ayub Khan's men captured at the start of the Siege of Kandahar. They stationed several guns there and opened fire on the city.
On Monday 16th. August 1880, five companies of the 2/7th. (367 men), along with companies from the 19th. and 28th. Native Infantry, formed part of a force of 900 infantry and 300 cavalry, sent on a sortie from Kandahar to attack Deh Khoja. The plan which had originally been intended to involve a much larger force was foolishly stripped down in size by Brigadier-General Henry Brooke. He would lead the attack, which was to be divided into three columns. Lt. Colonel Thomas Rose Nimmo lead one column, which consisted of 1 company of the 7th. Foot and 3 of the 28th. Bombay Infantry, the other two columns were lead by Colonel Daubeny and Colonel Heathcote.
After suffering heavy casualties, the British force finally reached the village, which was made up of a warren of streets and houses, perfect for defence. In the fierce hand to hand fighting that followed and with enemy reinforcements streaming into the fight, retreat became the only
option for the unsuccessful British.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, with the British losing 226 officers and men, including Brigadier-General Brookes and 6 officers killed, 7 officers were wounded, including Lt. Colonel Nimmo and 2 other colonels. Of the overall casualties the loss to four companies of the 28th. Bombay was very heavy, Lt. Colonel Newport and 31 men being killed, Lt. Colonel Nimmo and 21 men being wounded. It was another major disaster for the British and just 3 weeks after the Battle of Maiwand when Afghan forces under the leadership of Ayub Khan, defeated a much smaller British force consisting of two brigades of British and Indian troops under Brigadier-General George Burrows, albeit at a high price. Between 2,050 and 2,750 Afghan tribal militiamen were killed, and probably about 1,500 wounded. British and Indian forces suffered 1,200 dead.
Lieutenant, later Colonel, William St. Lucien Chase, 28th. Bombay Native Infantry, and Private Thomas Elsdon Ashford, 7th. Regiment of Foot (Royal Fusiliers) were awarded Victoria Crosses for saving Private Massey of the Fusiliers. Chase carried the wounded soldier to safety under heavy fire.
Frederick was killed in action at Deh Khoja when he led a bayonet charge and was shot 5 times. 2nd. Lieutenant Marsh attempted to rescue him but was also killed. The following is an unknown officer’s narrative,
'Here, however, one of our guns became entangled, and for a short time had to be abandoned. Lt. Wood of the Transport, and Lt. Colonel Nimmo, 28th. Native Infantry, and two other
officers, made the most desperate efforts to prevent the Ghazis from carrying off the gun. Here one of the best hand-to-hand combats that has ever been witnessed between our
Sepoys and the Afghans took place, and, after several repulses, one final rush of a company of the 7th. drove the enemy from his vantage ground. Our loss, however, I am sorry to say, was not slight, and considerable delay was experienced from the necessity of carrying back to the shelter of our ramparts our wounded comrades, who would otherwise have been massacred and mutilated by the villagers, whom we could see collecting in the distance'.
This memorial to Frederick is inside his fathers church, St Mary's at Erwarton, Suffolk. The marble tablet is flanked by black marble columns. A Latin cross sits on top of the tablet, with crossed flags and crown above text. It measurements 1,067 mm in height and 584 mm in width.
Frederick is also named on the Afghanistan 1887-89-90 memorial in the Royal Memorial Chapel, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst at Camberley, Surrey.
Second man James prepares to surrender the Parkway branch token as 47306 arrives back at Bodmin General.
The Branch Line Society along with TransPennine Express, ran the 'Class 170 Farewell Tracker' from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes using a trio of Class 170/3 units, 170307, 170306 and 170303, which took in a number of loops and sidings along the way and a visit to Buxton. seen here picking up the token for the single track section to Buxton, along the freight only line past the Tunstead Quarry complex,
The tour would soon come back this way enroute to Sheffield and onwards to Cleethorpes.
After nearly 10 years working for TransPennine having come from South West Trains all nine of these units will be very soon moving on to Chiltern Railways.

Monopoly is derived from the Landlord's Game, a board game designed and patented by Lizzie G. Magie in 1904. She revised and renewed the patent on her game in 1924. The version Magie originated did not involve the concept of a monopoly.
In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow
Red roses a token symbol,
of love and prayer,
for all souls,
past,
present,
and of the future,
persecuted,
murdered or imprisoned,
for no other crime,
than to have believe in,
wished no more than,
to follow new Knowledge,
Wisdom of the next Divine Educator,
Manifesting God’s Guidance and Grace.
Red roses a token symbol,
of Gods Guidance,
never of this physical realm,
spiritual Sovereignty,
laws of love and compassion,
forgiveness and grace,
mercy and joy,
sovereignty never wishing,
to compete with humanities greed of power,
control of fellow beings,
environments and resources.
Red roses a token symbol,
of Gods power,
lying solely in how we treat each other,
not on what we can own or control,
over another,
humanities own fears,
entrapping themselves,
prisoners in the dust,
of their own immaturity.
Red roses a token symbol,
man’s capacity to love,
the way to raise himself up,
to his rightful station,
as a human being,
free from the dust and clay,
attaining the power of flight,
spiritually in heaven,
while his feet still walk on the earth.
This old token, also known as a bar chip is from a now closed bar which was located in Wilkes-Barré, PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
