Some pictures of the trains at Wimbledon this evening...

L16 was manufactured in 1970/1 by Metro-Cammell (originally working on the Jubilee line construction), while L44 and L48 were built at Doncaster Works by British Rail Engineering Limited in 1973/74 (they originally worked in the construction of the Jubilee line and the Heathrow extension of the Piccadilly line).

These are @transportforlondon London Underground battery-electric locomotives L16, L44 and L48, battery locomotives used for hauling engineers' trains on the London Underground network where they can operate when the electric traction current is switched off.

‘Well,’ said Copolymer, and launched into the story of the Tsortean Wars. 'You see, what happened was, he’d taken her back home and her father - this wasn’t the old king, this was the one before, the one with the wossname, he married some Girl from over Elharib way, she had a squint, what was her name now, began with a P. Or an L. One of them letters, anyway. Her father owned an island out on the bay there, Papylos I think it was. No, I tell a lie, it was Crinix. Anyway, the king, the other king, he raised an army and they… Elenor, that was her name. She had a squint, you know. But quite attractive, they say. When I say married, I trust I do not have to spell it out for you. I mean, it was a bit unofficial. Er. Anyway, there was this wooden horse and after they’d got in… Did I tell you about this horse? It was a horse. I’m pretty sure it was a horse. Or maybe it was a chicken. Forget my own name next! It was wossname’s idea, the one with the limp. Yes. The limp in his leg, I mean. Did I mention him? There’d been this fight. No, that was the other one, I think. Yes. Anyway, this wooden pig, damn clever idea, they made it out of thing. Tip of my tongue. Wood. But that was later, you know. The fight! Nearly forgot the fight. Yes. Damn good fight. Everyone banging on their shields and yelling. Wossname’s armour shone like shining armour. Fight and a half, that fight. Between thingy, not the one with the limp, the other one, wossname, had red hair. You know. Tall fellow, talked with a lisp. Hold on, just remembered he was from some island. Not him. The other one, with a limp. Didn’t want to go, he said he was mad. Of course, he was bloody mad, definitely. I mean, a wooden cow! Like wossname said, the king, no, not that king, the other one, he saw the goat, he said, “I fear the Ephebians, especially when they’re mad enough to leave bloody great wooden livestock on the doorstep, talk about nerve, they must think we were born yesterday, set fire to it,” and, of course, wossname had nipped in round the back and put everyone to the sword, talk about a laugh. Did I say she had a squint? They said she was pretty, but it takes all sorts. Yes. Anyway, that’s how it happened. Now, of course, wossname - I think he was called Melycanus, had a limp - he wanted to go home, well, you would, they’d been there for years, he wasn’t getting any younger. That’s why he dreamt up the thing about the wooden wossname. Yes. I tell a lie, Lavaelous was the one with the knee. Pretty good fight, that fight, take it from me.’ He lapsed into self-satisfied silence. 'Pretty good fight,’ he mumbled and, smiling faintly, dropped off to sleep. Teppic was aware that his own mouth was hanging open. He shut it. Along the table several diners were wiping their eyes. 'Magic,’ said Xeno. 'Sheer magic. Every word a tassel on the canopy of Time.’ 'It’s the way he remembers every tiny detail. Pin-sharp,’ murmured Ibid.

80103 Dragon Boat Festival I know that the Festival was in June, but I've just got around to making this! The Dragon Boat Festival (traditional Chinese: 端午節; simplified Chinese: 端午节)  The official Chinese name of the festival is "端午節" (simplified Chinese: 端午节; traditional Chinese: 端午節; pinyin: Duānwǔjié) on the mainland, Taiwan, and "Tuen Ng Festival" for Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia and Singapore.  The story best known in modern China holds that the festival commemorates the death of the poet and minister Qu Yuan (c. 340–278 BC) of the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period of the Zhou Dynasty. A cadet member of the Chu royal house, Qu served in high offices. However, when the king decided to ally with the increasingly powerful state of Qin, Qu was banished for opposing the alliance and even accused of treason. During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry. Twenty-eight years later, Qin captured Ying, the Chu capital. In despair, Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River. It is said that the local people, who admired him, raced out in their boats to save him, or at least retrieve his body. This is said to have been the origin of dragon boat races. When his body could not be found, they dropped balls of sticky rice into the river so that the fish would eat them instead of Qu Yuan's body. This is said to be the origin of zongzi. In 2020, the festival will be celebrated on 25th June. #MyLatestLEGO #DragonBoatFestival #端午節 #端午节 #LEGO https://www.instagram.com/p/B5iZMcbHX65/?igshid=1jh5h516e38gx
