Trying a new “contents” plugin

Leave a reply

One thing I have always struggled with is making a proper list of photos and linking to them. Years ago I started doing that in this blog but “posts” and “pages” didn’t seem to work so well together in one blog, then I started another blog that concentrated on “pages” instead of regular “posts”.

The next problem was to find a plugin to show the lists. The one I had originally been using had not been updated for years so I searched for a new plugin and found one that does the job quite well. The blog itself has had very little time spent on it in recent years and the list of photos only covers a very small number of my thousands of photos.

You can see how the index looks on this page:-

Looking back at some of my older videos I realise how poor the quality was, never mind, it’s all a memory from the past.

Don’t often see a Class 33 on a railtour these days so made the effort to see this one. It was The Fenny Crompton, run by the Branch Line Society – 1Z36 Lancaster to Paddington. Running very late earlier in the day it was back on time by the time I saw it. Some other trains also seen – 390136, 158826, 158823 and 350377

57301 was running from Eastleigh to Leicester, seemed a good excuse for a little outing. There were 2 other freights due around the same time along with with a 68 on a passenger working. 66150 and 68014 were the other 2 locos seen, along with 165022.

Just realised I haven’t edited the videos that go with these photos yet, so busy with other things last week!! A lot of “new numbers” to add to my list, which was started a few months ago. There will be more unit photos to add to another post from this date, as time permits.

37403 back again the following day, had to try another location and went to Rowley Regis. I was pleased to see it stop briefly at the station, looked like a staff shuffle around between Caroline and the loco, then of course the nice sound of it pulling away.

Still catching up on recent posts, This was a much better result than the one with the 56 a couple of days earlier as the speed was slower, it came out well.

KC has some teeth out!!

4 Replies

We’ve never managed to keep her teeth clean and plaque was taking its toll. About 7 years ago she had to spend a day at the vet for a descale and nearly 7 years later the time had come again. At a recent check up with the vet, it was pointed out that her breath was very bad, we did know!! She was then booked in for another descale.

When we collected her in the afternoon the vet showed us three teeth that had to be removed. One did look very bad with a hole through the side of it. Fortunately she didn’t look too upset and as soon as she was back home she was eating her food. Her mouth obviously wasn’t causing her any problems following the removal of the 3 teeth.

Feb 25th post, not what was planned…..

Leave a reply

So far this year I had managed a posting on every day, but things don’t always go to plan!!!

There was a problem with my websites and all access had to be stopped until the problems were solved. I could access them but nobody else would be able to view them until the problem was solved. I obviously didn’t waste time posting as other things were more important but now I can start to fill in the missing dates. Nothing interesting in this post but things are working again.

It gets a bit boring and time comsuming with all these unit photos but it’ll be something to look back at in years to come as liveries change and stock is replaced. in this part 20 photos will be added, with more to follow in later posts. All unit photos from this date will show in the same album in the gallery, so there will be plenty of them.
