My grandson is doing the high jump. Earlier in the year he cleared 6'2".

Looking down at the ground we see the forlorn west track of the CN Weston Subdivision. During the West Toronto grade separation project, the west track of the CN Weston and east track of the CP Galt Subdivisions were and still are temporarily abandoned, I presume to simplify operations.

Middletown vs Lewis Mills Track & Field, Friday May 21, 2021

My daughter and I had gone on an outing and I took this pic of her on the railroad tracks. Don't ya just love railroad shots?

We enjoyed exhilaration at #LagunaSeca with the Lexus RC F Track Edition (50-unit limit) for the 3rd annual #Lexus0to60 celebrity racing competition. The GT3-inspired super coupe is enhanced with a 472 hp 5-liter V8 (0-60 mph in 3.96s), red carbon ceramic brakes, titanium exhausts and carbon fiber everything including lower front spoiler, side splitter & rear diffuser.

The section of track laying in the right-of-way gives a glimpse at what the Lurgan Subdivision looked like at the turn of the century. The once double-tracked main is now largely single tracked thanks to a decline in traffic on the former Western Maryland route. D773, the local that works Chambersburg, is seen here heading back to Hagerstown and travels the Lurgan Sub out and back on weekdays. The only other traffic is a twice-daily intermodal train (Q015/Q016) to and from the intermodal facility in Chambersburg. Just past the crossing signals where the train is crossing Leitersburg Road was where a bi-directional WM signal bridge stood (Wingerton); it fell in the years after the second track was removed.

Shanghai is gearing up for its first experimental tram service and luckily it is in my area. The last ray of day shone with intensity on the work in progress under the artists' hands.

Pas forcément ma meilleure construction en terme de design, car nous sommes sur une construction globalement rectangulaire. J'ai plutôt privilégié l'aspect fonctionnel et utilitaire.

Here we see an E&LS track inspector checking the condition of the physical plant. Seems he likes the condition of the track as it sometimes leads to "spilled grain"...LOL

Seen in the parking garage at the Ultimate Car Show at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam, BC. - Aug 16, 2014.

I've updated my BlueBrick schematic track library to version 1.1 incorporating the following updates:

 

1) Added RC/9V R40 radius half curves

2) Added RC flex track components.

 

Head over to www.brickdimensions.com/resources/trains to download this latest version.

There was very bad weather for photography. I used special technique - desaturate picture, use extreme corrections and resaturate picture by original image...

This could be nice for avoiding traffic jams :) But I definitively would not be happy with the color :)

I went for a walk after early morning rains and found this perfect deer track in the mud.

Field by the Cleaveland way just outside Scarborough N. Yorks.

Another great day at the track!

Looking east, inbound, down the BNSF tracks at Home Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois

The fog always seems to stack up in the train yard across from work just before it gets light. I finally took a few shots, and I liked how the B&W came out. Looks better in large. Pasco, WA 02DEC08 (Apparently this made Explore on 02DEC08 #457)

Simsbury vs Southington track & field on Thursday, May 13, 2021 at Southington High School.

I started thinking about building Track Pans recently for use on our club's train layouts. A steam heavy RR like the PennLUG needs to get it's water from somewhere and with my PRR steam fleet and Nate being suduced by the New York Central (two big users of pans) they just seem right for us. So I spent the better part of my Saturday researching Pennsylvania RR style track pans (fortunately I have a few books on the Pennsy) and then did my best to translate into LEGO.

 

This isn't perfect but should still be a good representation of Pennsylvania RR style practice. The pans themselves were pretty narrow (only about 19inches) so I wanted to keep mine to 2 studs wide. Along each side of the track for the length of the pans the Pennsy would typically have cobble stone lined runoff channels to manage spillage and keep erosion of the roadbed to a minimum. A locomotive moving at speed while scooping could throw up a lot of water.

 

Actual track pans would be quite a bit longer than this (and when PennLUG eventually builds ours they will be) but this should give some idea of what I'm going for.

 

Now I need to design a pump house for the water pumps and to provide steam heat to keep the pans from freezing in winter.

.. to eternity .. or at least the North Carolina limits of eternity..

My first time on a race track... Albeit as a passenger... for which it is wise to mount your intestants with superglue or something.. for they will be relocated if not! =)

Besides that... We were here to take some first shots of my friend Tjerk's most recent purchase: An MG F!

 

This gorgeous little pocket rocket is one of Britain's last truly great little sports cars, and the only sports car to ever feature hydragas suspension! Which, if maintained correctly, provides a very unique ride. Firm in this sporty setup, but never bouncy!

Me like a lot!
