I went to the main train station in Plzeň today!

The refurbishments are superb!

But the real stars, as always, are the trains!

I love the new bridges and how the trains approach from above. The aesthetics and magic are just... 👌

Bonus:

Long boy!

I wanted to ask those passengers how their trip was, but their response was a little wooden. :v

----------------------------------

Can any train fans help me identify each one please? :D

Class 66 66652 on its way to Margam from Dee Marsh Sidings with Cement Containers. Taken Thursday 4th of October. Was late coming through which in turn delayed my train to uni lol. Class 66s are nicknamed Sheds as they look like sheds or Ying Yings from the sound of the EMD engines in them.

Orient express 21344

Wait a minute, wasn't that supposed to be green? 

I had great pleasure and chance to photograph this long, long, loooong set.

Illuminating the carriages from the inside in a night scenery gives beautiful effects

8 really great minifigures that fit into the era and luxury vibe perfectly.

Beautiful details

I received this set from LEGO thanks to @brickcentral for a photo shoot but all opinions are my own.

Full review with some BTS examples is here

For my painting class final we had a art critic today where we showcased our best oil paintings and I chose one of these since this was one we could’ve painted anything of our choice so I did well-known narrow gauge locomotives and others. Top Right/Bottom Left Corner: KUR ED1/EAR 11 Class DHR B Class Corris No.7(left) & Talyllyn Railway No.4 Edward Thomas

my visited stations in 2023 (on the tube map, that is)

if you'll excuse the glare,

a visited station is one where I physically tapped out, had a look around, took photos, etc, not just one where I changed/passed through

line or network | visited/total | increase from 2022 (percentage points)

bakerloo | 13/25 (0.52) | -16pp

central | 17/49 (0.34) | -20.4pp

circle | 23/36 (0.64) | -11.1pp

bonus stats:

thameslink | 18/smth | =

entire map | 152 | down by 35% from 234

under the break is the 2022 map. I'm afraid the 2020 and 2021 maps aren't particularly interesting for obvious reasons

tagging @7-takes bc why not

bonus stat: since I've been keeping track (4 years) I've visited 192/272 different tube stations
