GMC bus in Pacific Electric livery, 1/87 or HO scale. Just a little weathering to introduce depth and grime. For you non-model railroading savages, the Pacific Electric was the ‘Red Car’, a symbol of old, pre-freeway Los Angeles, the demise of which was immortalized in the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”. Watch this space, more Pacific Electric coming soon.

Watching episodes on Amazon Prime.  Frankly better than most of the drivel on these days.  Brings back memories.  Man I am getting old.

Even though it ultimately failed to achieve the intended orbit, good on Virgin Orbit for the first space launch from British soil.  Story here. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

The Russian military is a disaster.  Latest story here. (h/t to Jeff Groves, my go to guy on all things Naval, and a lot else.)
