It's not an RX-2 assembly, it's not an RX-5 assembly, it's that secret third thing an RX2~5 assembly. (And it's not one of those stupid RX-5-Q01's either).

Everyone needs a hobby, and for someone that might be getting into the steam monorail scene.

It's bad.

Tell me you used AI for the title sequence of your TV series without telling me you used AI for the title sequence of your TV series.

A digital clock in a steam shed just doesn't quite look right.

Yeah this image has been bouncing around the internet for week or something, so it's very real.

But then again at least I'm not in Tallangatta today.

Yes I feel the VR would make a few steps if doing it with plates, but I feel I've seen or heard of some fairly big steps in forged transitions.

Finally got around to putting some moton lotion in the land barge today, absolutely SLUGGED at the BOWSER.

I've never personally seen such big transition plates before, these sets jumping from 100 lb rail to 55 lb rail.

Point of sale, position of safety are the main two I would know of

I've just worked out you can get a list view of the fuel prices in the Service Victoria app. If you scroll down you can see the places that it's advisable to not run low. Especially Lake Bolac.

This one shows a CCTV camera along with a wireless bridge mounted on an overhead structure in the recently rebuilt roads next to the gardens platform. It's interesting what you can put on overhead structures when you want to. Anyway they're the only interesting photos that I took.

Just spent my 5th day in a row at Newport Workshops, but didn't really take many photos. Anyway here is a couple. This is the positively fantabulous switch controlling the fans in one of the timber cars that SRHC bought down. Sadly I can't remember if this was in the Parlour Car or State Car No. 4.

I was just just half watching a YouTube video when a Deltic turned up, you know I don't think I've ever heard one at full noise before. Sounds like a track machine! Deeply unserious audio qualities tbh.

(I was listening to an EMD 567 flat chat earlier today - so my ears are perhaps biased).

Surely the other one is ... the same place, just a handful of years earlier.

So from Warrenheip to Ballarat or North Ballarat we ended up with the via Bacchus Marsh posts on one side, and the via Geelong posts on the other side.

There is some strangeness with the km posts from Warrenheip to Yelta, at some point they were all relabelled to be via North Geelong, I think to make the computerised drivers relief authorities behave under the former Section Authority Working system of safe working that was used on the corridor.

Managed to grab this happy snap of a single S class hustling through Noorinbee earlier, about to pass under the lattice cantilever at the down end with some classic style R signals.

Journey Beyond (always overlooked Overland department): Carriages from 1952 still rolling 73.5 years later.

Watching some random YouTube video, and encountered an example of the cranky yankee practice of not providing holding sections on their gated crossings. So the gates open half way, then the next train enters the approach, and the gates close again.

And yes I just videoed the TV like a slacker.

It's definitely a latergram but I thought I would share some classic Victorian and South Australian signalling made from Lego, that I spied on the weekend.

It’s real. (from Facebook)

This is slightly interesting, a US tourist railroad is going to have a go at converting some ancient Alco diesel electric locos to battery electric.

FYI I can't get DM's to work on this platform, so I sent you a DM on the terrible platform.

Those photos of Vite Vite are a few years old now! That hut may be one of the huts now hiding at Newport Workshops of all places, unused.

I think it's planned works, the Sandy's are bussed today and the Werribees are turning back at Southern Crustacean.

From time to time I put a fake birthday of 1/Jan/1970 into online accounts in a futile attempt to push back against the insane amount of information tech companies yearn for. Anyway it seems my google account must have a fake birthday as I just got this... :/

Apparently this will definitely be the year for Linux on .... the bathroom heater / fan / light.

30 years ago today, it seems I travelled on an AREA organised nut special from Seymour to Albury and return, using DRC43, which was and still is in the custody of what is now SRHC. Photo locations for this selection are:
- Bowser Loop (which was never commissioned!)
- Chiltern
- Wangaratta
- Albury

Surprising me while I was browsing a random online shop, it seems the Tasmanian independence movement has been successful without anyone really noticing. Maybe the WA secessionists can learn something.
