A Bavarian beauty - The S 3/6
These pictures were my first stint into photography. I took them on Easter Monday. I used a small camera.
For the touch ups I use Snapseed.

Hastings Miniature Railway - No. 3007 'Firefly' - Sep 1950
flickr
Hastings Miniature Railway - No. 3007 'Firefly' - Sep 1950 by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph dated 02 Sep 1950, of the 10 1/4" (260mm) gauge Hastings Miniature Railway engine No. 3007 'Firefly'. This is in a rail enthusiast old photo album, on the photo reverse is annotated "0-6-0 No. 3007 at Hastings, 2/9/50, unfortunately there is no photographer name. 'Firefly' history from Wikipedia:- "Firefly, built H.C.S. Bullock, in 1936 (as GWR 0-6-0PT No 3007); rebuilt 1945 by RHDR engineers as 0-6-0 tender locomotive. This engine is perhaps the one most closely associated with the Hastings Miniature Railway, having operated there from the opening of the line in 1948 until 1984, when it was sold to the Kerr's Miniature Railway in Scotland. Having been the principal engine at Hastings, it has retained that role (and the original number, 3007) in Scotland." 🚂 NOTE - Apparently Kerr's railway closed indefinitely on 11 October 2020. The owner said “Nothing’s being sold, the collection is going to stay with the family and it’s going to stay together.” The Hastings Miniature Railway Wikipedia page:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastings_Miniature_Railway If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

my toxic trait is that i saw a “fun fact” on a girl’s profile in a dating app, went this doesn’t fucking sound true, and spent over half an hour hunting through primary sources linked on wikipedia and learning the etymology and history of word-usage just to prove the very specific and meaningless thing she said was false and then tell her that through the dating app. she’s not even my type
#she claimed the reason we call trains ‘trains’ is because they’re named after George Train#who ran a prominent railway company in the mid-1800s#but not only is the earliest usage of the word train to refer to locomotives 4 years before train’s birth#(according to merriam webster)#but the usage of the word train to refer to a series of units being pulled along a path#actually dates back to referring to soldiers animals and wagons potentially as far back as middle english#meaning that it’s entirely possible that when the first gravity driven wagon rails were invented in the 1500s#that people were calling those shits trains too#because they were pulled. by trains of horses#train comes from an old medieval french verb meaning to draw or pull#it was used to describe things pulled along in linked succession long before steam locomotives existed#the idea that we could ever possibly attribute the naming of trains to one failed presidential candidate#who ISNT EVEN LINKED on the wikipedia’s history of trains page#is fucking preposterous. and frankly this person really should have fucking sensed that#like how do you hear a fact like that and just believe it whole cloth#you should have the sense. to know that we use the word train for other things#it’d be fucking insane if that man invented an extremely common use word and was never taught about in schools#like. what the fuck. that’s so intuitively misinformation#but you’re still???? sharing it?????? why?????#oc#if a girl was 100% my type and i really liked her and then she confidently shared this misinfo with me#it would like. sour my attraction to her a little bit
