Still mucking about in the same area of town.

Appropriate use of municipal funds? It is election time, so the right honourable mayor decided to show his willingness make tough decisions. Hence a blitzkrieg was launched against weeds, brambles and brush - preferably where the electorate can see it. As always with municipal projects there is...

Just one this time.

Happy wife, happy life Nothing beats marital support for your hobbies. So, here we observe a happy railfan in his natural habitat. And, lo and behold, a Baureihe 52 with a ganzzug of two-axle tankers passes his objective. He smiles happily, and lits the glass plate. Meanwhile his better half...

Diesel Day Or more correctly: Combustion Engine Day (the German viewers will know)
