I was flattered when reception staff at my swimming pool found this token and saved it for me !
Token got a new face-up! :D
He looks even more girly now... But isn't he pretty??? I especially love the eyes! °3°
Also, he finally got a decent wig in the right colour and eyes that don't gap like hell! Now, after a whole year (this month was his "bday"), he's finally complete! Weee~ \^0^/
Face-up is by the wonderful Smaug on DoA.

In railway signalling, a token is a physical object which a locomotive driver is required to have or see before entering onto a particular section of single track. The token is clearly endorsed with the name of the section it belongs to. A token system is used for single lines because of the very much greater risk of serious collision in the event of irregular working by signalmen or traincrews, than on double lines.
Visiting Harry Needle Railroad Company Ltd and DRS English Electric Type One Class 20s 20096 and 20901 diesel-electric locomotives roll down the bank at Keighley station with a Oxenhope to Keighley passenger service during the 2003 diesel gala weekend on the preserved Keighley & Worth Valley heritage railway line.
Or so it seems. I watched a pair of BC Nigh Herons perched in one of the trees on the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary grounds - he kept offering the stick to the female, who kept turning her back on him. I think she wanted a better stick, perhaps. There are probably 20 pairs of wild BCNH nesting on the sanctuary grounds right now.
Remember the iconic scene of Eddie Murphy cruising down Rodeo Drive in "Beverly Hills Cop?" Well, here is my Hawaii perspective of that famous scene. Enjoy!

The fireman of Beyer Peacock Garratt 0-4-4-0T 'K1' (Wks No 5292 of 1909) exchanges the token with the signalman at Cogan Halt.
Statfold Barn 'Summer Spectacle of Steam'.
The token is passed to a westbound train at Bewdley, UK. The token allows movement of this train to the next signal box.
The crews of Port Erin and Douglas-bound services prepare to exchange the single-line tokens at Ballasalla station on a wet 24th October 2014. The manned station at Ballasalla was the usual crossing point for trains. However, this scene would within days pass into the history books for, from the start of the 2015 season's timetable, service trains would thereafter cross at Castletown. Ballasalla station's up loop was locked out of use except for use by maintenance trains, and from the end of the 2015 timetable the station became unmanned by a permanent paid staff member.

Signalman and railway author Adrian Vaughan is seen exchanging tokens with the crew of BR standard class 4 loco, 76084, at Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway. Although the light was pretty rotten on my visit, I had enjoyable few hours chatting to Adrian and drinking his tea.

So yes I am in my mid 20's and yes I LOVE Pokemon! For Christmas, I was lukcy enough to get the special Pokemon Kanto edition of Monopoly which I really wanted and had a lot of fun playing Christmas night after dinner.
These are the tokens which replace the usual ones in the standard editions of monopoly. I was originally going to do a 1:1 macro shot of each individual token but i liked this set up better. For any Pokemon fans, definitely go out and get the Pokemon Monopoly, you won't regret it!
It is a rare sight nowadays to witness a token exchange. The driver of 59104 'Village of Great Elm', hands over the token to the signalman at Park Junction, Newport, having just completed the single-track journey from Machen with crushed stone destined for West Drayton on the 6A83 service. The strange metal box next to the car is to protect the signal man’s car from youths hurling stones.
Park Junction Signal Box in Newport is a GWR box that dates back to 1885, built by McKenzie & Holland with both lever frame and panel for signalling. There were 100 recorded levers in 1920. This splendid signal box, though somewhat dilapidated, appears to have quite a few of its original features. I am not sure if this little gem has achieved grade II listed status, but according to my research it is scheduled to be decommissioned sometime this year as a result of all signalling in South Wales ultimately being controlled from the South Wales Regional Operations Centre at Cardiff.

Guess what?! Here’s a new surprise addition to this round of GCW! Bat-Tokens! Make sure you read their rules, because they really could mean life or death for you!

Bat-Token General Rules:
General Rules:
What is a Bat-Token?
-Bat-Tokens are unique artifacts that players discover as the game progresses. They hide on neutral lots and give the discoverer powerful one time abilities.
All Bat-Tokens can be used only once, and after their use they are removed from the game. Players may only carry one Token at a time, unless stated differently. All Bat-Tokens, unless stated differently have an expiration date, and must be used before that date or they will automatically be removed from the game once the expiration date is reached. Bat-Tokens, with long enough expiration dates or depending to the discovery date, may continue to function through Refresh Mondays, unless stated otherwise.
Bat-Tokens are spread throughout the city, and there are multiples of each type of Token; as well as being many various Token abilities. The number of a certain type of Token is based on rarity, with some tokens being very common and others being ultra rare.
Discovering Tokens:
When a player lands on a territory with a Bat-Token, they will be notified by a comment on their takeover picture, and they will then be FM’d (As soon as possible) the name and description of the Token they discovered, as well as being notified of the time limit in which they have to use the Token. Other than the comment about the discovery on their picture, the public will know nothing about which Token was found (Or what it does), and will only find out the abilities of Token if it is used. Tokens that reach their expiration date are removed from the game, and the public will not be notified about which Token it was or what it did.
If you own a Bat-Token and move onto a lot where another Token presides, the second Token remains dormant until a player with no Token lands on that lot. This means that there could be Tokens on owned lots that are just dormant. Sometimes it may be possible for a player to return to owned lots and discover Tokens that were previously dormant. Dormant tokens are never removed from the game; so unless a Token is found/used/expires/or is discarded, it will remain dormant indefinitely, and will stay placed on the map.
Using Tokens:
To use a Token, you must post that your character is using one during a corresponding action. Most, if not all, Tokens can only be used along with a certain type of action, whether it be a takeover, move, transport, etc.; the required action for use will be stated in the Token’s ability.
On the photo and the action log, you must post the name of the Token, along with its full ability. If this is not done, the Token is ignored and discarded. Tokens may not be used on past actions. Once a Token is used, it is removed from the game.
Discarding Tokens:
Sometimes, you may find that it is in your interest to not continue holding a token you own. At any time, you are allowed as a free action to discard a token you possess. To do this, you must simply post in the action log that your player is discarding a token. Discarded tokens are removed from the game.
