What's he looking at?

This is a wip drawing of a silly crossover I'm trying to draw. That is BoCo the metropolitan vickers diesel electric type 2 diesel engine. I'm planning on adding RDR2 characters to the drawing.

Inside Burton locomotive depot - c1964 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: A photograph inside of British Railways (BR) Burton traction maintenance depot (17B?) showing part of the turntable, with two steam, and one diesel-electric locomotive in view. The steam numbers are hard to make out but I think they are, from left to right, Nos. 47643, 47250, and diesel-electric D5149. The photo is stuck in a old rail enthusiast album, unfortunately there is no date or photographer name, but they do appear to date from early/mid 1960s. ---------------------------------- No. 47643 was a H. Fowler designed class 3F, 0-6-0T engine, built by Beardmore, in Dalmuir, Glasgow and new to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) in Jan 1929, carrying No. 16726, being renumbered to 7643 in 1934. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 7643 became No. 47643. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Oct 1966, then scrapped in June of the following year at 'Cashmore's Great Bridge' scrapyard. ---------------------------------- No. 47250 was a S. Johnson designed class 2441, 0-6-0T engine, built by the Vulcan Foundry and new to the Midland Railway (after grouping the London, Midland & Scottish Railway) in Jun 1902, carrying No. 2771, being renumbered to 1950 in 1907, then 7250 in 1934. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, becoming British Railways (BR), engine No. 7250 became No. 47250. The locomotive was withdrawn from service by BR in Jun 1965, then scrapped in the December. ---------------------------------- No. D5149 was a class 24, Bo-Bo wheeled diesel-electric locomotive, built by the Derby Works and new to BR in Feb 1961. It was withdrawn from service in Oct 1972, and in April of the following year was broken up at the Locomotive Works in St Rollox, Glasgow. ---------------------------------- If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. I know very little about locomotives! Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

"These frozen smoke belchers are Minnesota school buses that were set for a retrofit with diesel engines in 2012. New evidence, however, from a small town in Colorado suggests that another retrofit is needed—to electric motors and batteries.

That’s because the West Grand School District is finding that in the frigid winter temps of -30°F, their electric buses outperformed their diesel-powered ones, both in running costs and reliability.

EV skeptics and critics are quick to mention the reduced range of a battery pack when exposed to such brutal temperatures, but no Minnesotan or Coloradoan needs reminding about those especially cold mornings when the car won’t start.

Kremmling Colorado is one of the coldest towns in the country, and the school district that encompasses this hamlet of 1,500 people was able to begin using an electric bus in their fleet starting in 2020 thanks to grants from the EPA, along with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

“What we are seeing is that these buses are doing great in cold weather they still maintain a battery charge even when it’s cold,” said Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representative, Casey Becker.

OTHER EV NEWS: Number of Electric School Buses More than Doubled in the U.S. in Past Year

“It averages 26 cents per mile and the diesel buses, just for fuel not including oil changes, filters, lubes, is 58 cents per mile,” said West Grand County School District Director of Transportation, Bethany Aurin.

Becker told Fox 9 News [Note: Video at link!] that there will be a total of 49 electric school buses heading to nine Colorado School Districts, including four in Summit County and three in Steamboat Springs."

Wanted to do a lil crossover between my bjd doll and most of the papercrafts I have designed lately! She, starchild, was one of the very first projects I worked on regarding figurine-modeling since 2 years ago approximately. She has so many friends (and frienemies) now!

And on another note I feel very proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. I never could’ve imagined to end up making all of these fellas in a short period of time, or doing all of this papercraft series thing at all! Papercrafts were a whole new opportunity for me to make figurines without taking much time and also be able to share them with other people. I’ll surely continue working with them alongside my other projects that of course include modeling bjds too (and many other cool stuff ;]). Thanks for all the kind comments on my papercrafts and thanks to the people who have built them as well, love to see people have their blorbos accompanying them irl! 💕

hi do you take requests for id that arent actually posts? im watching the x files and i Think the train car that gets decoupled is from the pioneer zephyr family of trains, but im not sure.

heres the best pictures i got

and heres some crappy dark ones

thanks in advance!

My boy... that is a Budd Company - RDC-2

If I've ever seen one.

RDC stands for Rail Diesel Car. That means it can move around on its own. Presumably it's being used as a railcar here cause it looks like one and it can control itself for whatever tomfoolery happens in the show. Curiously the windows have been plated over. I guess they did that for the show. As for the Pioneer Zephyr connection... they were made by the same company! Everything Budd got their hands on was made of stainless steel though. I hesitate to call them related. Zephyrs have a dedicated power car and the earlier ones have semi-permanently coupled cars. The RDCs are easier to work with… every car is a power car so you can just slap more on if need be.

(Side tangent, The Pioneer Zephyr is just the first one made. Burlington Route named all their trainsets of that style the [X] Zephyr. Really the Zephyrs deserve their own post, they're great fun!)

Ok but do you think that Greaseball, Electra and CB act differently around the anniversary of the crash? Like if Greaseball just runs slower on the tracks and becomes extra clingy to Dinah. Or if Electra just is super closed off and doesn't leave their shed much and Volta is like the only one that talks to him for like a week. And if CB seems even more unpredictable, like one minute he would be extra funny and would be laughing and stuff but then the next minute he would be really quiet and closed off.

I just think that this kinda happens for the cheater guys sometimes, maybe I'll write a fix abt it

16Jun76. Bristol Bath Road. Metrovick CoBo TDB968006 (Ex D5705). [Slide_1456-TPZ] by MrDeltic Via Flickr: Wed 16 Jun 1976. Metropolitan Vickers Class 28 Co-Bo No TDB968006 at Bristol Bath Road mpd. Previously D5705. Arguably the ugliest diesel ever to run on BR metals. The loco was withdrawn in June 1968 from the London Midland Region, Preston Division (D10). It then served as a carriage heating unit. [2020: The loco is preserved, but not in working order]. 

This dork hid behind a bunch of coaches to avoid being scrapped. My hero.

Alright people! I have a question for you all.

What locomotive (Steam/Diesel/Electric/Whatever) do you love like it's a favourite of yours, or love so much that it could almost be call an obsession?

(That's NOT a bad thing btw)

For me it's the:

NBR H Class Atlantics

GWR 4000 Class

PRR T1

LNER A1/A3's

VR S Class
