DC3 Weathervane - August 2023 No, that is not a low flying aircraft. That is a DC3 mounted on a pole with a swivel plate so it will always turn to face into the wind. It sits in front of the Transportation Museum in Whitehorse and is quite a distinctive sign for that museum. MWM

London Day 5: Covent Garden, Transportation Museum, Picadilly Circus, Soho, oh my!

What a day! It was a very nice start to the day, no alarm! We got up liesurely, Miss A kept trying to dig herself deeper into the bed, and under the covers, we totally get that feeling! Got up, dressed, and headed to breakfast. Muffin for Miss A, waffles for SDL, and my usual…hard boiled egg on multi-grain baguette, y u m! And a cup of tea with sugar cubes, of course! Back to the room to get…

A tale of three cities

A Paris sky. The Eiffel tower as seen from the Trocadéro, across the Seine. Summer 2022 A gentleman from Punjab maybe? A restaurant somewhere in Marylebone, London. Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. Brussels, at the Mont des arts. A monument to rectitude? No. The statues are called “Musique et chant”, Music and song. By Oscar Jespers. 1960. (Wonders of Google search. Merci Gilles.) Urchins…

Choo choo! Mr Transport playing with its model train

#mr transport #gif #fallen london #fl spoilers #it’s choppy intentionally to make it look like crayon animation:0 #like what I used to do in the children’s museum as a kid

i think actually everybody in that situation was wrong because if we're taking it to a specific location, mr. transport should be brought to the london transport museum. clearly we shouldn't let the fact that the london transport museum didn't exist until 1980 get in the way of this. this is its home now. i mean look it's in the name. and it's in london. it has trains and everything. it's perfect

(photos used: left, right)

#i mean... this isn't the newborn transport. maybe not even an infant. more like toddler transport really. anyway precise life stage aside #if i'd been to the transport museum recently i would've used my own photos. #but it's actually been years since i last went so wikimedia it is #fallen london #failbetter games #fallen london spoilers #fl spoilers #art #digital art #drawing #digital drawing #maybe this was just an excuse to draw transport. but would you blame me if it was

I kinda just like the idea that sometimes in dark enough shadow a bunch of extra eyes that you cant see otherwise activate like glow in the dark stars

Then he accidentally makes eye contact with someone on the tube or someth who's politely trying not to stare and he just gives them that awkward smile like. Yep hello I know pls dont mind me I promise I'm just on the train

Also I filmed the tape peelies for satisfaction purposes please enjoy

Citroën SM, 1971. On display at Transport World, an early SM (they were in production from 1970-1975) with a 2.7 litre Maserati V6 and 5-speed manual transmission. The car on display appears to be an original, unrestored example

Northern waters.nake! This time I also attempted to clean up the skull to include alongside the skin. Cleaning the nasal cavity of s.nake skulls is a nightmare.

#vulture culture #taxidermy #dead animal #museum specimen #animal skull #skulls #nothing too exciting rn because the museum freezer is slowing dying and all the cool stuff had to be emergency transported to main facility #so expect snakes and maybe some tiny passerines for a while #though I hope to post about chipotle bird next week

Sleigh Bus - August 2023 I took a lot of images in the transportation museum, but they were all tourist shots. I am sharing this one, however, because of the thought of sitting for miles out in the open in forty below zero weather just to get from one place to the other. As I looked at that sleigh, I remembered in its entirety a poem I read back in high school called, “The Cremation of Sam McGee” by Robert Service. I had to look it up to get the author’s name, but it’s all there at this link: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45081/the-cremation-of-sam-mcgee MWM

The only 2 Dagmar automobiles in existence anywhere. The red car is a 1922 Dagmar 6-70 Petite Sedan. The Blue car is a 1925 Baby Dagmar Sedan. Built locally in Hagerstown MD from 1922 to 1927. A few hundred were made, a few sold and these two are the only survivors.

hey do you guys know about

the history of the bus?

they started as an "omnibus" a horse drawn two stop back and forth along a pre determined route! then they added more stops! they messed with the size of the omnibus and the number of horses until they hit the right size for the route!

(blease note these are intra-city buses, stagecoaches would go outside the city to specific locations and they generally required a reserved seat)

they basically SLAPPED A ROOF AREA to get roof passengers! double deck omnibuses!

then we get MOTOR OMNIBUSES! as the petrol engine is getting better! for context the first motor omnibus ran in 1899 - this is 13 years after the patent for the first petrol engine car (1886), 74 years after the first steam public railway in england (1825) and 36 years after the london underground was opened (1863). by 1911 there were no horse-drawn omnibuses owned by the london general omnibus company!

AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! (please look at the number of BUSES and INDIVIDUAL CARRIAGES [usually hired cabs] and PEDESTRIANS)

a lot of places switched to electric trams in the 1910s, public transport became reliant on the comparatively more efficient light rail or tram systems. the trams gave way to electric buses in london in 1930! they were much less dangerous than trams as people did not have to walk right into traffic to get on em

then as engines got more efficient trolleybuses were switched with petrol engine buses

then in the 1950s more people got cars and they began dominating the streets and creating.. traffic and. traffic laws. and stuff.

thanks for coming to my whistlestop bus lesson hope u have a brilliant day

#i went to a transport museum and I've been thinking about it CONSTANTLY lfjsjdhsj #this is london perspective btw since it was... the london transport museum #long post #it was like. in the 1910s a battle between buses and trams/light rail systems #and buses tended to be safer bc of the nature of traffic laws and pedestrians back then #so london prioritised buses. but people were going on the underground too bc it was muuuch faster lol #anyway. transport! fascinating #and short-stagecoaches existed before buses did for intra-city travel but they tended to be by hosuehold rather than location #also expensive. well omibuses were expensive too. this is very high level fldbfjdjfj
