Figuring out how humans get around. Sometimes chasing birds up trees.

I'd love to have a go on this...

This is a manned model ship course for captains and maritime pilots. ​While computer simulators are common, manned models provide a physical reality that digital programs often struggle to replicate perfectly, particularly regarding fluid dynamics and the "feel" of a ship.

@Tarka_Man Ian, the main line + loop both seem to have a short straight section between the crossover and the platform, rather than continuing to curve. Do you know why?

@Electra88007 Sounds like a lovely shift! I’ll have to take a trip to meet Tiger one day.

Happy birthday to Ivor The Engine, the little Welsh railway engine from the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company, who first appeared on our screens today in 1959. Toot-toot!

I got one too! Clearly good taste in crackers in the Haigh household. #notjustanycrackers @marksandspencer

[Philip Haigh @philatrail]

Just as I was perplexed with my cracker combination hex spanner, Mrs H points out that it might be a spaghetti measure.

[Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse @smrmoorhouse]

While most are carving the turkey, some are still keeping the watch. ⚓️ To everyone @RoyalNavy at sea or alongside this Christmas — thank you for your keeping the ship safe and steady. 🎄

Happy birthday Greenwich station!
Almost as beautiful as me.

#OnThisDay 187 years ago the London & Greenwich Railway extended from Deptford to a temporary Greenwich station, this handsome George Smith permanent structure followed in 1840; one of the oldest railway station buildings on earth. Image: Doyle of London https://t.co/bwFye3ynNJ

@JoeBrownLondon Gorgeous photo. Thanks for sharing.

#OnThisDay 160 years ago the Metropolitan Railway opened Farringdon Street (Farringdon), Aldersgate Street (Barbican) and Moorgate Street (Moorgate). Today's Farringdon replaced the 1863 terminus, which became a goods station. Image: Gordon Edgar https://t.co/w4hn4bdLIi

Hands to action cetaceans.

[HMS Stirling Castle @HMS_Str_Castle]

Looks like someone’s made a break for it 🐬😄
This playful dolphin popped by HMS Stirling Castle while alongside — we’re pretty sure it has escaped from a sea life centre… but we’re keeping an eye on it just in case! 🌊⚓

@fightingsailor @_philharper @HMS_Str_Castle Narwhal the puns are coming out...

@RailwayExplorer Seaton in Devon?

[Travel Cat @TopDeckCat]

@CastledineAndy @Modern_Railways does lighten our darkness. (I miss the ASB though.)
