Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
1 Chronicles 29:11
A vessel traverses mysterious lights in the distance.
(A faulty TV at the Chili's in Roswell, NM displayed a strange streak across the screen. Interior lights reflected off the screen rendered the mysterious lights. The starfield completes the effect.)

A tanker traverses the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Many people don't realize we have oil tankers travelling in our waters.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

RD21472. The traverser outside the carriage shed and workshops at the Didcot Railway Centre. This enables the carriages to be moved into or out and takes up far less space than a fan of sidings would do.
While I was at Didcot, I also took some video starring the amazing Steam Railmotor and this is now on my new YouTube Channel. To make viewing easier, I have broken it down into three bite-sized chunks and here are the links:

The next two months are going to be extremely busy and I expect them to be rather fruitful as well, already every day is packed to the gills with careful planning and mapping - both literal and figurative. My trip to Iceland has developed into a more involved project and I now have a companion, one Sexy Swedish Babe - and we are plotting the path before us. Just today blog.kickstarter.com/post/105468900/laura-kicey-goes-to-i... I did with one of the founders on my Iceland art sponsorship program I am running through their recently launched site.
If you are interested in owning a print of my work from my upcoming trip or would like to sponsor my trip please check it out! If you like work I have already done, now is also a great time to visit my etsy shop and buy a print - if there is something you like and don't see it there - please ask, I do take requests!
Meanwhile I am diligently working on a major job with one of my favorite collaborators, Sarah on a project that will be kept under wraps until next Autumn. So no, you probably won't see much of me on here until June, but things are bubbling under the quiet exterior.
There are a few other projects going on simultaneously which I will share as permitted, but man it is an exciting time....
RD16415. The traverser outside the carriage shed at the Didcot Railway Centre. Traversers are used to move railway vehicles to different tracks where there is insufficient space for conventional points or turntables.

The Border Counties railway was a single track branch opened between 1858 and 1862, which followed the path of the River North Tyne from Hexham to it's source and then on through the Scottish borders where it met the Waverley route at Riccarton Junction.
The line traversed sparsely populated countryside, and north of the town of Bellingham wild upland moors. It's fair to say that construction had more to do with getting the North British Railway (who helped fund the building of the line), access to Tyneside, than profiting from the rather limited freight and passenger opportunities of the area.
None the less the railway seems to have been constructed to a high standard. Despite closure nearly 60 years ago many of the buildings still stand. Stations have been converted to private dwellings and even plate-layers huts survive often abandoned but still withstanding the tough conditions of the area.
This example made of wood but with a brick chimney stands just to the north of Kielder village.

Close up of the traverser in my train yard. The main line in front is 9V, but the yard is PF, including the traverser itself. On the traverser is my Köf II, behind are my BR70 and BR65 and Ben's famous BR23.
