Figures are in and lights are on. The ALTAs first PA is done!

POINTS AND ASPECTS (1974)

Whenever I share paintings of the power station I always get comments about what a blight it looks and the cleverness of the juxtaposition, and I just don’t know how to explain how sad it makes me feel to look at the hole it has left on the horizon now it’s gone

Been faffing about with the Haymarket set (that's basically all I can do at the moment in regards to the next episode. Realised after that the skyline is far too cluttered but hey ho, at least the tenements look more tenement-y!

This motivational transept in Southern Rwy green at the freight depot will wrap up this tread for tonight - a bit of eerie legacy…

Guardian has the cops arresting 474 people as terrorists. Salute to all arrested. People with courage to stand up against draconian intimidation. ✊

Amen break whenever Mario vibrates extremely rapidly while emitting a barrage of "ha", "hoo", and "hmm" soundbites

OSA is gonna make us lose access to fucking wikipedia write to your MPs.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

Dear Friends, This past weekend has been something rather special indeed. From all of us at the Talyllyn Railway we cannot thank you enough for coming to the Awdry Extravaganza 2025 - so many have travelled so very far to visit our little railway and we are so very grateful.

AWDRY EXTRAVAGANZA SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT We've had a surprise arrival from the Island of Sodor today ahead of the weekend's festivities! George the Steam Roller will be at Tywyn Wharf across the event, though we're not sure he's as enthused as we are for him to be here...!

A fantastic gala! The excellent selection of locos made the unpleasantly hot weather a lot more bearable. (37057 definitely stole the show for me!)

Another superb gala at the KWVR yesterday! Well worth the 4 hour round car journey on an hours sleep and a lot of caffeine 😁 37057 departing Haworth yesterday evening

Off to a good start!

We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.

Some highlights from today's trip up north to Bo'ness's Diesel Gala with chum in crime @oldlongsign.bsky.social

A day out by train yesterday began with the always welcome sight of a class 37 diesel loco at Cambridge.

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell

I won't use disabled toilets because I'm not disabled and disabled people need them Also trans people are so dangerous that they can't be around cis people... unless those cis people are disabled then it's fine? It's pretty clear they just see both trans and disabled people as a class of non human

Every day, when I get up, I prepare myself for the latest major decisions to be taken by the government chosen by the Americans. This weekend, I was expecting decisions on the environment that will have an impact on all the humans who come after us. But this? It is really the bottom of the abyss.

Some lovely dwarves from the Kent & East Sussex Railway's gala.

Usual Avanti time keeping means I missed my connection at Crewe, can’t say I’m complaining though!

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🚜💨 x2!

How's THIS for a period San Francisco shot? SF Belt Railroad S-2 pulling newly painted (original) Caltrain gallery cars down the Embarcadero, under the (long gone) Embarcadero freeway.

Trans women are women, resist the Supreme Court ruling 👇The Supreme Court ruling will only embolden the right wingers who want to attack trans+ and women’s rights socialistworker.co.uk/lgbt/trans-w...

Amazing scenes in the carpark today.

First mainline steam I've seen this year. a great day for it

A thread of notes I've made in my notebook about my dad: 1. The Swimming Pool.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Happy Neil day to all who celebrate
