There was very bad weather for photography. I used special technique - desaturate picture, use extreme corrections and resaturate picture by original image...
And I said in my previous post that the Purbeck Hills were always dry and well drained! Well not here :)!!
Hope you are all having a good week.
Here's a link to my latest BLOG entry which I posted a couple of days ago. Hope you enjoy it.
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.
Asker, Norway. For the first time in years, a proper pre-christmas winter. Although the golf course is our neighbour, we mostly use it when its covered in snow. When its great for children and playfullness.
Shot as a RAW file and processed first in Adobe Camera Raw, then in Photoshop.

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.

House: How many friends do you have?
Lucas Douglas: Seventeen.
House: Seriously? Do you keep a list or something?
Lucas Douglas: No, I knew this conversation was really about you, so I gave you an answer so you could get back to your train of thought...

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!

Thought I'd post a color version of yesterday's daily photo because I'm really not sure which version I like better.
Please notice the Sunfield grain elevator beside the tracks a couple miles down the way. You can just barely make it out in this photo.

The road paralleling the tracks is Gates Road. Do note that:
1) I'm (also) stopped on Gates.
2) A driver making the left turn indicated by that sign will remain on Gates.
3) If that hypothetical driver turns to the right--which is permitted, though it's a dead end--he or she will still be on Gates.
CN's Track PD10 in the Pointe St-Charles area of Montreal served a P&H mill till approximately June 2023. Condos are expected to replace it.
This is my spring capture of Lake Ellyn in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Below are the winter and fall shots.
3 out of 4 seasons captured so far.
On June 21, I will take one more for the summer image. Kind of cool to see this in comparison.
