March on Cape Cod by Santuit Studio

Salt Pond in Eastham, MA. It feels like it's been gray for weeks. This is an alternative edit to a picture Sue took on Saturday. It tries to capture the mood right now on the Cape - stark, gray, quiet, and a little depressing. *Real* spring can't come soon enough

March on the Cape by Santuit Studio

This pretty much sums up the weather in March on the Cape. It's also a good representation of the current mood around here - bleak, gray, sparse and otherwise gloomy.

Eastenders by kingsway john

Having just completed an ex-West Ham WH class tram 342 (left), a photo or two of it alongside my ex-East Ham EH 85 (right) seemed appropriate. Each borough ran it's own trams until the concerns were absorbed into the newly created London Transport , in 1933.
In fact the WH and EH types were very similar to the LCC's large fleet of E1 cars. This made it possible for me to adapt the Tower Models kit to reflect the detail differences.
Most obvious was that the West Ham cars had different panelling on the upper side, which meant that side adverts had to be rather narrower. This usually meant that in later days they ran without adverts. Notably they did not display the famous 'Last Tram Week' posters.
A further difference was regarding the blind displays. East Ham placed a number blind in the top front window, and West Ham squeezed a small blind above the destination display. Most LCC cars had used a metal number stencil in the window.
After the war, the Eastend cars were gathered at Abbey Wood depot, and so I chose to run them on the paired 36 / 38 routes - these ran from Abbey Wood to the Victoria Embankment and were identical, save for the 36 running anti--clockwise around the Blackfriars and Westminster loop, whereas the 38 ran clockwise.

The cars are seen on my Kennington Cross model tramway layout.
