Hey guys, welcome to the third and final week this month for my creative year. Our topic this month is passion and our prompt for this week is storm. So in life as most of you know you have to get through the storms in life to get to the sunshine and happy place and sometimes those storms are super passionate and super turbulent. Y'all know this, I know you do. How do we express that in our art and on our page this week? I have some definite ideas for that. Of course I do. I'm going to use a blue. To me, storms are blue, in my opinion. I like this one peacock color. So I think we're going to use that. I have some white and I have some blue lapis. Do I want to use lapis or sky? Maybe both. Why not both? Oh, I have gray. Oh, gray might work. We're going to just play.  So I like these little porcelain plates as a palette because they're easy to clean and you can wipe them with a baby wipe and you're not putting all those acrylic paint particles into the sewer system. All right, so that's all clean. All right, let's put just a small like dots of this on our plate. Can you see? There we go. I don't think we're going to need too much. These are Dina Weekly Media Paints, one of my favorite paints to our journal with. I love the color range. I love that they dry quickly. I love the. I think viscosity is the word I want or consistency of the paint. They're kind of a medium body. They're not too thin. OK, so we have our paints. We need a little brush and some water. I'm going to need a scrap piece of paper. So I don't want to get paint on at least not too much of the word. We're going to take our brush that's wet with water and we're going to water down some of these colors a bit. Obviously, I'm splattering. I know I'm not talking. I kind of got lost on my page. So now we're going to put a little bit of this across the top in a few places and then add some water so it drips, you know, like storm clouds, thunder and lightning, of course, in an abstract way, because, you know, this isn't a literal description. Now it might mix with some of the ink because the distressed ink is water soluble and reactive even after it dries. It'll it'll still rewet. I'm OK with that. And we're going to get some purple because of that. I'm OK with that. But we probably won't get it in too much. I think we lost our gray. I think I think our gray just got mixed up in all the blue, so that's OK. Wasn't meant to be. That's all right. So don't be afraid to have some fun with splatters and drips on your page. I love the way that looks. OK, let's see. So get your drips arranged in a way that you like and then dry them. OK, now I'm going to grab a clean brush. We've still got our white here on the plate and it's not contaminated. Yay. Do I want to do it with a brush or just my finger? I think I want to use my finger.  And I'm going to basically push whatever is in that place back into the background a bit by putting that white paint there. And again, dry that white paint. I think I want to do some writing on those white spaces, which is why I created them. I got I got splatters everywhere, people. I'm going to have to clean my table next. OK, so I do think I want to journal on those white squares. The question is what color do I want to journal in? I want to keep it pretty low key because I still want our word passion and the definition to stand out. But I do want to put something on there. So I'm thinking I'm going to try my Arteza markers, fine liners. Because I have a bunch of neutral colors in this set. Which might work. One of those might work. I'm actually thinking the flesh colored one might be the right color. Let's see. I like that one. Let's try it. It actually might be a little too light. That's a little too light. I do think the last thing I want to do, I want to do one more thing. So we're going to take our stencil that we created in the first video. There is my phone. Somebody's texting. OK, and we are going to take our magenta paint from Dina Wakeley. I'm going to bring back our heart shapes. That's perfect. I love that. So creating your journal pages should be about layers and texture and interest. It isn't necessarily about covering the whole entire page. I almost never do anymore. It's just about creating something that I think is interesting and that makes a statement and it has movement in the page with this. In my opinion, definitely has all of those. I love the idea that we were building on it all month. And I love the way it turned out. I can't wait to see the way yours turn out. If you would like to share that with everyone over in the Facebook group, we'd love to have you over there. You can join it using the link below. The most important thing is to go out, have some fun, explore your art, enjoy yourself and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. I'll see you later. Bye, guys.


Thanks Keith. So move the slides on please James, thanks. Hi everyone, so my name is Owen Bellamy so I'm head of the power sector team at the CCC. So we've got a presentation for you here, it's about 20 to 25 minutes. I'm going to cover two main sections in the presentation. So we've got some slides on the kind of overall approach to the six carbon budget at the economy wide level and the target itself and then we've got a section on specifically on the energy sector and including electricity generation and hydrogen. So with a bit more detail on kind of those specific parts of the analysis. So James can you move thanks. So I guess in terms of the approach to the six carbon budget as a whole we looked at three main scenarios for how we could get to net zero by 2050. So that's an engagement scenario, an innovation scenario and what we call a headwind scenario. You can see on the chart there that those are split in on the grid in terms of behaviour change and innovation. So the widespread engagement scenario is a scenario which has high levels of behaviour change. So for example further action on dietary changes and aviation. On the innovation scenario that focuses more on kind of particular reductions in costs and availability for key technologies at the high end of the kind of innovation spectrum. And then there's a third scenario called headwinds which has less behaviour change and less innovation than the other two scenarios and that's kind of more dominated by infrastructure changes for example in CCS. So all three of those scenarios get to net zero by 2050 but they get there in different ways and then James click on. There is also a fourth and then a fifth scenario. So the tailwind scenario combines the extra behaviour change that's in the engagement scenario and the extra innovation that's in the innovation scenario and combines those into a kind of optimistic very high end scenario which actually gets to net zero before 2050. And then James lastly we have a kind of central balanced pathway which the six carbon budget recommendation is based on and which is designed to keep open the option of being able to achieve all of those exploratory scenarios by 2050 on the path to the six carbon budget in 2035. So if you could move us on James please. So this chart then shows you the pathway for the carbon budget as a whole. So that's the balanced pathway in purple there and you can see that the balanced pathway goes through at least a 68% reduction in 2030 which is the recommendation for the UK's nationally determined contribution and then a 78% reduction in 2035 on the pathway to getting to net zero in 2050. And I guess the key point to highlight is that the pathway slightly front ended there and more particularly on electricity generation we'll see the reasons for that in the coming section. Thanks. So moving on to the energy sector and in particular electricity generation and hydrogen. So a few slides just highlighting the main overarching changes in energy demand out to 2050 and this is for the balanced pathway. So you can see a gas at the top there and oil demand by sector and both oil demand and gas demand fall very substantially by 2050 compared to today's levels. So oil is down 85% and gas is down 70%. And you can see for gas the kind of two big users of gas are yellow and green. So yellow is electricity supply so we'll see there is still use of gas as gas CCS in power generation and also in fuel supply as well, particularly to make hydrogen. And then oil you can see almost all oil use phased out by 2050 except in the purple chunk there and that purple chunk is aviation. So oil use particularly petroleum restricted to aviation in the long term and gas used only for CCS and power generation and in fuel supply particularly for production of hydrogen not used in buildings in the long term. And just a chart to show you the balance of hydrogen as well in the scenario. So the hydrogen economy I guess grows from nothing today out to kind of very substantial levels in 2050. And again this is the balance pathway but considering that the size of the current electricity generation sector is about 300 tail hours we're looking here at a hydrogen sector which is broadly equivalent in size to electricity generation sector today. And if you look at where that demand comes from in the right hand side chart you can see I guess the two big sectors there are shipping and which is the kind of pinky colour above the yellow and the light blue which is manufacturing and construction. Those are the kind of two biggest uses of hydrogen in 2050 but obviously also spits across some of the other sectors to a kind of smaller extent. And I guess the next biggest one you can see in yellow there is power generation which leads us nicely onto the next set of slides which are particularly focused on power and electricity generation. So just showing you here the balance pathway and the demand for electricity under the balance pathway. So you can see here that demand for electricity goes up very substantially in the period from 2020 to 2050. So demand approximately doubles from current levels of around 300 tail hours up to 6 to 700 tail hours in 2050. And that splits across a number of sectors as we electrify, increasingly electrify the rest of the economy. And in particular the biggest new area of demand you can see there is in the purple wedge and that's from electrification of surface transport. But there is also electrification across the scenarios of buildings non-residential and residential of manufacturing and construction and some other smaller sectors as well as using electricity to produce hydrogen which is the yellow bar at the top. So really the story of the scenarios is a move away from fossil fuels and towards electrification where possible. So how do we generate that doubling of electricity demand by 2050? Well this is a chart of the generation mix over time and out to 2050. And I guess the key point is a very large expansion of variable renewables. So you can see the pink section there going up to 80% of generation from variable renewables by 2015. There's a phasing out of unabated gas for electricity generation by 2035 in the balance pathway. And that means that all generation from 2035 onwards is low carbon generation. So the challenge over the next 15 years is to move to a low carbon system and then to meet the new electricity demands that are coming in a low carbon way. So you can see an increase in variable renewables but also an increase in low carbon dispatchable generation which is the orange bar there. So that's generation to balance the variable renewables in a kind of midmeric way and that's either in our modelling gas with CCS and or hydrogen. Also behind that is an increasingly flexible electricity system. So that includes things like demand side management. So from the expansion of electric vehicles and heat pump demands we can flex that demand on different timescales in order to manage the variability of renewable generation. It will require an increase in storage capacity and there are a variety of technologies which could play that role. It will require an increase in hydrogen production and in particular using surplus electricity generation to create hydrogen. And also not shown on the chart. Also interconnection will be important as well as an extra avenue for flexibility. So what does that mean for emissions in the power sector? Well hopefully everyone knows that the past 10 years for emissions in electricity generation have been very successful and in fact the most successful of all the sectors in the UK economy. So emissions have fallen nearly 65% since 2010 and you can see that in the black dotted line there. That's a result of moving away largely from coal towards renewables and some unabated gas. The challenge over the next 15 years is to move away from the last remaining source of fossil fuels, the last remaining source of emissions sorry which is unabated gas generation. In our scenarios that happened by 2035 you can see by 2035 emissions are very low and then the challenge over the next 15 years after that is to expand the use of low carbon generation and emissions continues to fall slightly out to 2050 as variable renewables take an increasingly larger share of the system and as gas CCS capture rates increase as well. So emissions in the power sector are almost completely decarbonised by 2035 and then low carbon from from there on. Just to touch on the role of hydrogen in electricity generation, so hydrogen actually has a kind of dual role in our scenarios for electricity. So also a source of low carbon generation itself but also a potential new demand for electricity as well. So it can be produced using electricity or by methane reformation with CCS and the role between electrolysis and methane reformation changes somewhat over time as the costs of those technologies changes. So in the 2020s there's a focus more on methane reformation with CCS that's because the cost of electricity would be need to be relatively low in order for electrolysis to be cost competitive. But from the 2030s onwards as the cost of renewables falls and as the potential for using surplus generation to provide that that electricity increases then that makes the role of electrolysis in hydrogen production more attractive and you see the balance shifting towards more towards electrolysis compared to the 2020s and in fact by 2050 in the balance pathway not only is there nearly 200 tail hours of domestic hydrogen production that is evenly split between gas CCS and sorry between methane reformation and electrolysis. So just to touch on costs I've got a couple of slides on the costs of the different technologies and then what that means in aggregate for electricity generation. So just to briefly show you the costs that are seen across the scenarios so the balance pathway and the headwinds and engagement scenarios take a relatively somewhat conservative view on renewables costs so they fall slightly. So these are in 2019 prices which are slightly higher than the 2012 prices that are often quoted so that would be the equivalent of 35 pounds for variable renewables in 2050 on a 2012 price level basis. So a slight fall in immuable costs out to 2050. In the innovation and tailwind scenarios we assume much more significant reduction in the cost of renewables approximately halving compared to the levels seen today and that obviously changes the balance of electrification across those scenarios and the innovation scenario in the tailwind scenario therefore have a higher level of electrification driven by those lower renewable costs. And firm power so in particular nuclear we see as being more expensive than renewables even out to 2050 and dispatchable low carbon power with gas CCS at the low end of that range being competitive with firm power but becks slightly more expensive and towards the higher end of that range there. So what does that mean in terms of kind of more aggregate costs for electricity generation? So this slide shows the additional investment costs in the dark blue line and the additional operating costs in the yellow line there of moving to net zero compared to running a fossil fuel based power system. So you can see in terms of investment costs and those kind of peak in the early to mid 2030s particularly as we're expanding supply but while technology is still being deployed and while costs are still coming down. So we see investment costs falling from the kind of mid 2030 onwards as the cost of those technologies starts to fall once they've been deployed at scale. But in terms of operating costs obviously the cost of these technologies in particular given that the system is dominated by renewables which have no input costs in terms of their fuels actually running a variable renewable based system is cheaper than running a fossil fuel based system. So actually there's large potential savings on the operational cost side and by 2050 those savings outweigh the additional investment that's required in that system. So by 2050 actually the balanced pathway is cost saving. So you can see the minus 10 outweighs the plus five there compared to its cost saving compared to a high carbon equivalent system. There's also obviously a range of unquantified benefits that would come with moving to a net zero system. So I've listed a few of them there. We haven't attempted to quantify these in the report but those co-benefits could include improved air quality, potentially lower electricity prices and also industrial opportunities for an expansion of some of these kind of key growth industries and also employment opportunities for a just transition. So what are the policy recommendations for the power sector that fly out of that analysis? So I've highlighted five key policy recommendations that we have described in the report. So the first one is that we need to deploy low carbon electricity generation at scale starting in the 2020s. So on the renewable side we need to move up to wards a system which is heavily based on renewables in the long term. That means achieving the 40 gigawatt target for offshore wind by 2030 that the government has. In the balanced pathway going up to 100 gigawatts of offshore wind and in the innovation scenario potentially up to 140 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2050. We need to develop the markets for dispatchable low carbon generation so gas CCS and hydrogen in order that we can phase out unabated gas by 2035. If I skip to that one next we think the government should commit to phasing out unabated gas power generation by 2035. We think that's cost effective. They need to publish next year a comprehensive strategy for actually achieving that. So demonstrating how the markets for variable renewables and that dispatchable low carbon generation can be developed in order that that can drive unabated gas off the system. And then we think by 2030 they should be in a position to regulate for no new build of unabated gas plant and also for a firm pathway to zero unabated gas by 2035 subject to ensuring security of supply. That plan will also need to cover the development of a flexible electricity system. So putting in place the measures to enable more demand side management and also bringing through the storage hydrogen production and interconnection that would be required to deliver that system. And then lastly there's an important question about networks. So we need to make sure the electricity networks can accommodate that doubling and potentially tripling of electricity demand that will be coming in the long term. And that's actually not necessarily something that can be put off. So our scenarios have a 50% increase in electricity demand by 2035 compared to current levels. So this is something which is going to need to happen early on in the 2020s in order that we can put those investments in place and future proof of network. And I guess lastly there is a question about the overall market framework for delivering net zero. And we think they should publish a long term strategy for how the electricity market is going to function in a net zero world which is going to be dominated by zero marginal cost generation. So variable renewables with no fuel costs which is going to need a kind of different market structure compared to the current market structure which has been developed over the last couple of decades and mostly focused on a kind of more thermal based system. So we think they need to bring forward that market framework as soon as possible and definitely before 2025 in order that the changes that are required can be put in place on the time frames that are needed. So just a couple of more slides to go. So just again a kind of slightly more infographic version of the previous slide but just to highlight that the electricity sector needs to be basically fully locum by the mid 2030s. And that means actually the policies for delivering that need to be thought about in the coming decade and definitely over the next kind of well definitely in the first half of the 2020s I think you can see from the boxes at the bottom just pulling out the key points. So we need to put in place the policy framework and the markets within the next few years in order that they can be deployed at scale and that the system can be completely decarbonised by 2035. And then the challenge after 2035 is to deploy that and keep up with the increase in demand. So I think just one more slide on hydrogen. So I'm not going to cover all of these but just to kind of pull out the key points in purple there on hydrogen supply. So I think hydrogen needs to be focused on areas that cannot feasibly decarbonise without it. That means we need to get on with developing the supply chains to bring forward that low carbon hydrogen. And we talked about the kind of balance between methane reformation and electrolysis already. And then we also need to make sure that that low hydrogen is incentivised to contribute to emissions reductions. But it doesn't bias those solutions towards hydrogen in the cases where electrification is competitive. So we want to see a level playing field not to reuse that word too much in the current circumstances for both hydrogen and electrification. And I think that should be it, James. Thank you. Thanks very much.


Hello and welcome to the Ed Hodel Show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Roy showing with students in head football coach Ed Hodel. And Coach, you were on the road for the 3rd straight Saturday last week. You went up to Kings and you were able to come away with a 38-17 win. Your 3rd straight road victory. Just kind of take us through the game and how it evolved. Definitely a slow start, you know, from our perspective. It was a situation where I think being on the road for 3 straight weeks took a little bit of a toll on us and we talked to the guys, obviously post game, that's not an excuse. We want to come out of the locker room with our best football and play that way. It took us a little while to get rolling and they responded. It was a homecoming game for those guys and they were certainly excited to be playing. But fortunately for us, we made plays when we needed to make plays and we're able to come out with a win. You were able to go in half time up. And one of the things that I noticed the last couple of weeks is that you've been able to score right before the half and then come out and start the 3rd quarter, usually because you have the ball and start again. So you're scoring on both sides of the half and obviously that's huge when you're trying to build a lead or trying to maintain a lead. Absolutely. And looking at our 2-minute drives in each of the last closing minutes of the first half, that's significant. I think that's indicative of what we do in practice. We practice 2-minute at least twice a week and the guys taking the coaching from practice to the field and I think it's also a byproduct of some of the experience that we have on the field as well. I also think that the defense plays a big part of that and we talked about that Monday. When we do do 2-minute, it's good v. good in practice. It's 1s versus 1s and it's very up tempo, it's very fast and I think that allows us to be a little bit more effective in that 2-minute offense. Yeah, absolutely. That preparation playing against such a stout defense obviously helps when you're trying to move the ball. And certainly the other thing the offense on Saturday is we have to sustain some very long drives.  We were able to come back. They got within 20-17 to sustain a long drive, 4-5-minute drive and that was really that and Ashley Leskin's force fumble were kind of the two backbreakers in that game. Absolutely. And again, we talked about that on Monday where coming out and going on a 92-play, 5- or 6-minute drive there in the fourth quarter, it is a big momentum swing. It's really kind of putting a stamp on the game, so to speak. We've been able to sustain some drives this year which is exciting and something that we're going to have to continue as we move deeper into league play. Yeah, absolutely. And the other thing that that does is obviously allows your defense to get some rest so they're not on the field when the other teams out there for 5-6 minutes at a time. So actually controlling the time of possession is big in college football from the perspective of you are resting players. Defense gets a chance to get to the sideline, get themselves adjusted, clean up anything that needs to be cleaned up and take a little bit of time and catch your breath a little bit. So the ability to sustain drives is a big key. It's one of our weekly goals is to go out and be able to sustain multiple drives throughout the day. And speaking of time of possession, I believe it's about 35 minutes and you've had to leave in time of possession all four games so far this year. Absolutely. It's difficult to score touchdowns without the football, that's for sure. Yeah, absolutely. Now switching gears after three weeks on the road, you finally get to be home this week. Another tough opponent coming to Mustang Stadium in Delaware Valley. Obviously a tough league game. They've been kind of the standard in the league the last few years. Talk about that game and what you hope to accomplish. For us, again, it's very simple. Building through the week to be the best team that we can be on Saturday and bringing our best football. For us, I think it's really exciting to be back at home after almost a month and not have to get on a bus on a Friday and travel and stay in a hotel and sleeping in your own bed is going to be important for us on Friday night. Just to get back in front of the home crowd and be back in front of our students and we're hoping for a great crowd Saturday, one that's loud and creates that home field advantage we've become accustomed to. I'm sure our fans will be ready to go on Saturday and best of luck. Thank you very much, Craig. Alright, for Ed Hoddle, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Ed Hoddle Show.


on analytical solutions. This is first of all second order differential equation, is that it? Have you seen second order differential equation before where SHM simple harmonic motion is what acceleration is equal to minus omega square x, so a is what d square x by dt square x plus omega square x equals to 0, instead of x, q is there. This is second order differential equation, you know that solution of this differential equation is what x equal to a sin omega t plus theta. So, any second order differential equation will have a generic solution as a sin or cosine function, this is the assumption actually. So, we will assume that the solution of this equation, this differential equation is given as q is equal to q m sin of omega t plus phi, this omega and this omega they are same, because this frequency is the property of a system. So, the system is oscillating with this frequency omega, so omega will not change, frequency does not change just like that. So, q is equal to q m sin omega t plus phi is the solution of this, but we do not know what is q m and we do not know what is phi, how will you find out then, what is the value of q m and phi, just got to find out if this is a solution of this differential equation, then you can substitute this value here, so no, this if this solution of that it should satisfy this equation. So, put it here and try to rearrange the term and get it properly, you arrange sin of term, you get sin and cos both, you take sin separately and cos separately are done, so d q by d t will be q m omega cos omega t plus phi, so these values just substitute here, you will get minus of q m, so your equation will become very dirty, I mean it becomes now horrible, but then deal with it, I mean there is no as such, what I say you just have to be careful, so that you do not make any silly error, there is no conceptual error probabilities you will be making here, just silly error you will be making, because this equation becomes very big, sin of omega t plus phi plus r times q m omega cos of omega t plus phi plus q by c, so 1 by c times q 1 here, q m sin omega t plus phi, this is equal to q m sin omega t plus v m sin omega t, now let us take sin omega t common, if you take sin omega t common q m omega, I will take q m omega sin omega t plus phi common, I will get 1 by omega c minus omega, you know why I have taken q m omega common, because this is familiar to me, plus you can take q omega common throughout, you will get plus r times cos of omega t plus phi is equal to v m sin omega t, so this is what x c, so x c minus x l into sin of omega t plus phi plus r times cos of omega t plus phi is equal to v m divided by q m omega sin omega t, any doubt, you know what is z impedance is what, whole square plus r square under root, so now what you do, you divide throughout by z divide and multiply by z, so if you do that, there is a reason why we do that, this is a common trick, if you get c 1 sin theta plus c 2 cos theta, what you do you multiply and divide by root over c 1 square plus c 2 square, this will let you write it as a single trinometric function, this is c 1 square plus c 2 square, this will be equal to c 1 square plus c 2 square sin of theta plus phi, where tan of phi is equal to c 2 by c 1, this is what you assume as cos phi, this automatically becomes sin phi, it is a common trick, so this will let you write in a simpler manner, similarly here z is what root over this square plus that square, so I can write down this as z into, is it very overwhelming, are we able to handle it, any doubt you let me know, this is like, here you repeat the x, what you do, here you can you repeat something and then it is fine, tell me if you have any doubts, no, impedance is just incidental, it happens to be impedance, the trick is this only, root over c 1 square plus c 2 square happens to be impedance, and it is good that it is impedance because it is familiar to us, so I can say that this entire thing as cos of theta, this is sin of omega t plus phi, if this is cos theta that will become sin theta plus sin theta cos of omega t plus phi is equal to something, so this what I can write that as z times sin of omega t plus theta plus phi, this equals to V m times sin of omega t plus phi, this V m divided by Q m omega sin omega t, so basically impedance should be equal to V m divided by Q m times omega, so Q m should become V m divided by omega z, we got the value of Q m, comparing these two, and what is theta, theta is such that tan theta is equal to you assume that to be sin theta, it is to be cos theta, tan theta will be equal to r divided by x c minus x n, it does x c minus x n, so theta plus phi should become what, theta plus phi should become 0 or 2 pi or 4 pi whatever, so best thing is to take 0, so theta will be equal to minus, what solution will be 5, 5 will be equal to minus of theta, so phi will be equal to minus of tan inverse r divided by x c minus x n, in the textbook what they have done, they have assumed Q is equal to Q m cos of omega t plus phi, so when you read from the textbook, you just consider the fact that you have taken sin, not the cos, so if you take as cos, everything will rearrange and you will get tan of theta to be x c minus x n by r, fine. So, here rather than sin, you will get cos, here you will get sin, so this you will assume at sin theta, this you will assume at cos theta, fine. So, this is analytical solution, any doubt will not, anything, we will do some numerical on whatever you will learn till now, this is considered to be the difficult derivation from this, you do it one or twice, one is the same thing can be derived using phasor or using analytical method, you got the value of charge Q, you can differentiate it, you will get the value of current, using phasor we got the value of current, do this question, I will register, what is the unit of impedance, find out current V RMS across resistance and V RMS across capacitance, three things you have to find out, current voltage across resistance, voltage across capacitance, see for impedance it does not matter whether inductor is there or not, if inductor is not there, it will have only x c, x l will be 0, did you get the answer, anything, get the value of impedance first, how much it is, in this case impedance will be root over R square plus x c square, x c is 2 and 2, this is under root 200 square, so 4 0 2 1 2 root over 4 0 2, how much is that roughly, that is approximately 291.50, so I am telling you the value, Z is 291.5, now get the value of current V RMS across R and across C, that is RMS voltage, so V is equivalent, no, no, no, no, no, total V is that, it is not V across R, for current you need to find the answer, no, how can I see, you are getting impedance less 291 is less than 220, you got the maximum current, when I say just find out the current, I get RMS current, what do you get higher RMS value, I want higher RMS only, higher RMS is 220 divided by 291.5, this is 0.7 or something, now get the value of voltage across resistance and across capacitance, okay, did you get V R and V C, you called me right, V R and V C, how much is that, V R is simply I into R, V C is what, I into X C, how much is that, 151, 151 volts, 151 volts, V C is, X C is 212 and current is this, what is V C, 212.1, 160, okay, but isn't it weird that some of these two is more than 220, ideally, there is this and a resistance connected to a voltage source, some of this voltage plus that voltage should give you this, right, source is 220, voltage across resistance is 151, voltage across capacitance is 160, some of these two voltage is like 311, which is more than 220, how come, and nothing is wrong, so what is, how will you visualize what is happening, some of this plus this should be equal to that or not, yes or no, no, why, why no, no, that is not the reason, no, you can't add them like that, they are, they are 90 degree away, right, V C is 90 degree away from V C, we are or not, so basically what should happen, root over 151 square plus 160 square should give you 220 and which is correct, fine, because V R is this and V C is this, some of these two voltages will be taken as a Pythagoras current because they are 90 degree, any doubt till now, we are halfway this chapter, we will finish it off next class and we will solve few questions, but you guys have to come better prepared, I am still feeding that you are not putting the hard work which is required, you think that you might be working hard or you don't have time and all, but then that's not true, there are many students who are working very, very hard and there are lakhs in number, not hundreds, you are competing with them, pull your socks, it's very important and the worst is you will not get second chance to correct your mistake, the mistake you do right now stays with you throughout your life, very percussions, you will not get low, I made a mistake, let me correct it, that should not happen, but I am telling you, take it seriously, don't make an error, okay, so solve as many questions as possible and you start revising class 11th also, every week take one chapter of physics, chemistry and math and try to revise that, do questions from H C 1 or any book, whatever you have.


Critics of the world renounced the African Constitution often talk about how it's great on paper but because of the lack of effective implementation is sort of meaningless. Well for some people, some marginalized groups in this country like people living in working-on farms, it is really not as effective as it could be. So a right not known is a right that doesn't exist.


It's important to recognize that the impact program has been in place for 10 years in British Columbia and the results are nothing short of spectacular. In fact we've seen auto crime drop across the province on average by 71 percent and in some areas of the province we've seen the reduction in auto crime drop by over 90 percent. So you know this is a very impressive program, it's the largest of its kind in North America and we're continuing to add new tools to the fleet. This year we're going to look at using bait commercial vehicles because we recognize that the loss of a commercial vehicle can mean the loss of livelihood for families in this province. So it's been an exceptional 10 years of progress. We still have work to do, we want to continue to see those numbers drop but certainly an important 10-year celebration of a very effective program in terms of reducing auto crime in our province. Today the reductions we've achieved in auto crime show that together we can make a difference to help keep our communities safer. From the beginning the bait car program has had a significant impact on auto crime and after 10 years we are still seeing big improvements in auto crime trends each year. So thieves throughout British Columbia should listen carefully. If you're thinking about breaking into a vehicle in British Columbia we want you to know that just about any type of vehicle under the sun there will be a very good chance that that is a bait vehicle. Let's remember there's a good chance they're simply going to take the bait and they will get caught.


Hi, I'm George Zellios with Fine Scale Miniatures and you are watching What's Neat This Week with Ken Patterson. The What's Neat Show is sponsored by Lombard Hobbies, your value hobby shop for over 40 years of modelers helping modelers. Big inventory, value pricing, fast shipping and great service. Additional support is provided by Walthers Trains, everything you need to build a great model railroad. Check out their website at Walthers.com. And by Bachman Trains. Now that's the way to run a railroad. Check out their website at BachmanTrains.com. Further support is provided by American Limited Models, the relentless pursuit of accuracy. Check out their website at AmericanLimitedModels.com. And thank you for helping us support the best hobby in the world. This is What's Neat for December 2021. I'm your host Ken Patterson and this month we've got a great show. In that we start out with a great interview with Ed Dickens, the head of the Union Pacific Steam Program. The big boy locomotive was here this summer and it was a beautiful day and we've got a great interview that will run this month in the show. Also we've got some fantastic drone footage, what I call the Winter Odyssey from Dan Scheidel, our drone pilot. Absolutely beautiful scenery. In fact it looks just like models when you view it. Also this month, Radisson McGuire stops by and he shares with us how he paints military vehicles for loading on a freight car load, as in my train that I've shown in the past. He's a great modeler of all those types of vehicles. We saw a segment from him last month and it's great to have him on the show again. Also Doug Blaine from Bachman Trains, my friend over there from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, gives us a great interview with different gift ideas for Christmas and some of the new products that Bachman is in fact coming out with. Another great Christmas idea is the Walther's Build World. This is a subscription based series of dioramas whereas it's designed to bring the youth into the hobby and or the experienced modeler that may be downsizing and not have a full layout but they still want to build models on the kitchen table or their desk. This series of structures and dioramas comes complete with all the tools necessary to build four different types of dioramas. So check that out also at Walther's.com. It's a great idea for Christmas. Now Walther's mainline series freight cars, they've got 60 foot three bay hoppers and a lot of other freight cars on Walther's.com that would also make great Christmas gifts or you can pick them up at my favorite hobby shop, Lombard Hobbies up in Lombard, Illinois. That's off to you guys and thank you so much for helping us promote the best hobby in the world. Another idea that I've got for Christmas gift, I ran into this soldering iron made by Milwaukee. This is the perfect gift to give that modeler order in your life that has every single tool because I promise you they don't have this. This is a battery operated rechargeable soldering iron. It runs with the M12 series of batteries. It's kind of amazing in that you can just turn it on, use it when you need it, it's always charged and then it's ready for the go. Easy to travel, easy to take with you to the club. Perfect gift again for Christmas. Also, I'd like to say be sure to check out the What's Neat this week video show that we produce every Saturday keeping you updated on what's new in the hobby, special products, great guests and also our regular podcast crew. It's a wonderful show that we love to produce every Saturday keeping you informed of what's new in this, the best hobby in the world. And with that, let's continue on with the rest of this December 2021 What's Neat. For this segment of What's Neat, I've got Rad McGuire. Now last month, he shared with us an array of amazing military vehicles all tricked out just like we see Mike Buddy do auto racks. But today he's going to be modeling something called a 978 Oshkosh. And that is, what is that? That's a tanker truck. Is that right? Yeah, it is the main tanker truck for the US Army. Okay. And you've started to disassemble one here. Let's get a shot of that and tell us why you took the whole thing apart because that looks scary to me.  And the entire time I've seen you've done nothing with your military train. Correct. So I drove all the way from Alabama to finally do something with your military train. I'm going to paint one of these vehicles today. Wow. All right, so let's see how this turns out. This will be exciting step by step as we go through the process. Okay, Rad, now we've come outside and you're going to can spray paint this Oshkosh and you've got a very interesting tool holding it. What is that? That's just a helping hand device. You can get these at any Harbor Freight and pretty much a lot of the hobby shops sell these too. It's a great cheap little device, holds them in place very easily and this has multi-purpose from vehicles to trains. But today, like you said, Rattle Can. A lot of people are very uneasy about spray paint. Tamiya makes amazing colors. This is TS61 NATO Green. Now with the military colors is to each his own. But to me, it to me makes one of the most accurate color schemes on the market. This is a very cool man. Show us what you do. Okay, Rad, I see you've got an amazing book there and you're about to disassemble this model. Tell me about this book. This is a US Army paint by numbers book, essentially. It is an official military document to show you what the front page looks like. This is the color markings and camouflage painting of US military vehicles, construction equipment and material handling equipment. This is straight from the Department of the US Army. A friend of mine from Aniston Army Depot gave me this book because it is a semi outdated book. There are the older vehicles from the 80s in this book. But for the vehicle that we're doing today, the 978 Oshkosh, we're going to be painting this guy into Woodland. And I will show you how to disassemble, how to do your basic detailing and then how to paint. And essentially get it to where it is a prototype vehicle for your train, military railhead or just going through your town. Okay, Rad, we saw you outside painting a model, but we're using two models to create this demonstration. And you told me it's very important to understand how to disassemble the model, right? Right. And the reason being is because you do not want to paint the tires and you do not want to paint on the windows. And there's also other detail parts we have to install. So the tires come off pretty easy. You just got to kind of twist them. And then I can do this. There we go. It comes right off. You're good to go. Now with the cab, which is the most important thing, it's a large window. You don't want paint on your windows. So this protective piece right here holds it in place and the cab will slide right off. And then you just push and that's good. We're going to leave the cab off for paint and final reassembly because it'll all go back together once it's fully detailed like the finished model we have here. Now, another thing that you will notice with these older Roco Herpa models or just many tanks in general is you have different detail sprues. We're going to need our mirrors, our tie down points for when we do actually do tie downs and our grab irons. That's just for the cab. For the rear, you're going to need your safety railing and your steps and ladder for the rear tank. So we'll get to something on this. Brad, I see you've already started painting black. Tell me what you're doing there. Okay, so when you look at the NATO scheme on this book, you see one, two and three. Number one is your NATO black. Number two is your NATO green. And number three is brown. We're going to handle brown last. But the best thing to do is you see all these hard lines and angles and the best thing to do is just kind of do it the best your ability. Because even when you look at these trucks in person, they differ from vehicle to vehicle just ever so slightly. It's basically the pattern itself is there, but the spray markings might be different. So we want to try and get it as close to the NATO paint scheme as humanly possible. So now I'm painting the NATO brown on the fueler itself. And the thing that everyone needs to realize here is you can airbrush this. Yes. But just like the real military, they just spray paint this stuff on there. It can be hand done. It's a lot easier than you think. If you don't get it exactly to the prototype picture, that's okay. If it's in the general area and keeps the general shape, that's what you want. Because when you look at the actual photos, they're all different in their own little ways, which we will see here. I mean, it's going to take this end right here and we can tell number three, which goes here would be going right here. So we're going to go in, take a little bit of our paint here, damp any excess water we have on it. We're going to come in and just follow the line. There are no hard edges or hard lines, so you're not going to have any jagged lines. It's all supposed to kind of flow into one another. And that is a little round patch just like we have on the prototype. If I didn't say it before, I am using Tamiya water-based paints. These are acrylic paints offered by Tamiya. And they offer the full gambit of NATO Black, NATO Brown, and they even do foreign countries and specialty paints. For example, USAF Brown and USAF Black and Green, they do to use. Today, for the last part, we're going to decal here. This is a brand new decal sheet from Arsenal in many tanks with people who bought Roco. And they make a nifty fuel tanker set for any color fuel truck you could possibly imagine. We've already installed the ID unit numbers and the weird chevron on the doors. And we've already done the sides, but they also have them on the rear end here. So we're just going to kind of take our finger and slide this decal off like that.  These decals are super thin, but they're super easy to work with at the same time. That went on very straight, so we are good for that. And take a Q-tip, just kind of dab off the excess. And this is decaling.  So I'm pretty sure everyone has set in their ways here. Now we're going to take our 1993, the fuel warning placards, which are here. And these decals only take a few seconds to work with to where you can actually get them off of the paper here. There's some of the easiest decals to work with. Leave it to the Germans to come up with just amazing products like this. Because back in the day, we would have to go out and have to custom order these ourselves and have 30 or 40 sheets or even plus.  That's how we decal the 978 Hennet. Alright, this is the last paint process. This is PS-55, flat clear from Tamiya. It's a brand new product that just started arriving at hobby shops here, stateside really.  What this is going to do is this is going to make everything look uniform. This is going to basically blend all the paints and all of your decals all into one. And the great thing about this is you do not have to clear coat these like you used to with some decals because this is almost a clear coat at the end of the day. But it's so hot out here because it's beautiful St. Louis weather. It's pretty much all drying on contact. Alright, so now that we have completed the paint and the decaling and the clear coating it's time for reassembly of our Hennet fuel tanker. This is a pretty easy step here. It's actually one of my favorite steps is to watch the model all come together. We're going to reinsert the windows so we don't scrape the paint off our lights. We're going to just barely pull if I can get this to actually cooperate because they don't always like to go on the way you had it. That steps back into place very evenly. The spare tire had a different mounting ring so we're going to install the spare tire back on the prong and just one by one reinsert the wheels. And then, just like that, you've got your very own military fuel truck all ready to hit the rail hood and go off to its next duty assignment somewhere in the country. Bradison, you made this look really simple. I mean, we just spent a few hours watching you paint the camouflage, paint the model green, add decals and we managed to work dinner in there. You do make it look easy. It's a lot easier than people realize and all you have to do is have the patience and you can get this thing done in one evening. Man, thank you so much for sharing this with the viewers of What's Neat and that is this segment for What's Neat. For this segment of What's Neat, we're down here with 4014 and I've got Ed Dickens with me, the main engineer for the steam program for the Union Pacific Railroad. Ed, tell me about your passion for the hobby because I know that you are also a model rider. Well, it's been a long time since I've done modeling, but when I was in grade school, I fell in love with the Rio Grande and back, and this would be in the 1970s, we didn't have the SD40 T-Dash II off the shelf, beautiful models, and I've been out of it so I don't even know what those are called, Genesis or whatever that top of the line is. Right, Athens is going to be proud to hear that. We would have died for something like that, so we had to kit bash them. Yes. I remember the magazines at the time, Model Railroad, that was like the best thing that could happen to us. That's where we spent our money. My paper route money went toward modeling, you know, the ready-to-run Horn Hook coupler, even the Tyco stuff. I just loved all that. The stuff that we have today that I see, and oftentimes we have requests for model companies to come evaluate the equipment and measure it and so they can duplicate it, I have a real appreciation for that and I want to help them so they can make the locomotives as accurate. If you think about, they're willing to invest the time and effort in the tooling, and that's got to be expensive. We want to help them come up with the best model that they can. We're always making little subtle changes to the locomotive, changes that we know Model Railroaders would be interested in, because there's kind of a rivet counting perfectionism with modeling and we appreciate that. There sometimes we'll make a change and we'll want to keep it a little bit secret and wonder how long before somebody notices. They notice right away, so that's just the attention to detail you guys have. There's seven manufacturers currently making the Big Boy locomotive and that's just an HO scale, that doesn't count the ones in large scale, trains USA and MTH did it in O scale, so many different scales. The one thing that everybody has been doing is writing the chalked words Big Boy on the front of the locomotive and we both know where that phrase came from, the Big Boy. Sure, that's a tribute to all of the people that work during the industrial age, not just the individual who wrote it and the workers at Elko, but all locomotive manufacturers, all the designers, the draft people, everybody that did the work on the railroad, not just building the railroads, but maintaining the locomotives, operating them in every way, so that's a tribute. We still put it up there in chalk and the rain will wash it off and then we don't have a schedule on when we're going to put it back up, it's just kind of a fun way to pay tribute. Photographers like to keep track of it. The modelers will write it a little bit differently here and there, but it's become so much of the story of the Big Boy, it's something that people want to know, when are you going to write it up there? Right. Or so it's something that they enjoy photographing and kind of keeping track of that little detail. Convey with me the feeling that the status of being the engineer of this locomotive is. Now, will you remember Steve Lee from 84-44 or at one time 844 and 3095, the Challenger locomotive, he also had that established position of being very famous. I knew his name and so many other people do and now you follow those footsteps and you've been with Union Pacific on the steam program, you said for 17 years. Tell me how it feels to be of that stature of. Well, I think I think it's careful not to get swept into that because it's not about even though I really in a heartfelt I sincerely appreciate that name recognition, but there are so many people that go into making this locomotive work. You know, I think it's natural to look up into a locomotive like this and you've got that big window and it's easy to associate the individual sitting in the window. But I think there's a danger with that too, in that we fail to recognize all of the other people. And there are so many every member of the crew here who works tirelessly in performing all the important work. There's nobody more important or less important than everyone in this crew. A small crew, we have a very small crew compared to what the Steve Lee era enjoyed. So we have to be very judicious about what we work on, how we work on it, make sure that our quality is absolutely the best. In everything that we do, all of the details, we're always dotting the I's and crossing the T's. But when you get to know the members of this crew, you'll see such a talented workforce and so many diverse talents that are necessary. You've got to wear different hats and you've got to be willing to perform all the different functions to make this steam locomotive work. So I enjoy that. It's fun to sign autographs, but I'm always grabbing everybody else on the crew with me and say, hey, get over here, get over here. And some of them are uncomfortable with the accolades and the spotlight. That's normal, I think. But it's also part of the job that people work to be able to tie a human side to this. And in this instance, for the time being, that falls to us. Yes. Is there a word that can describe when you've got this magnificent machine open on the main line, you're doing full throttle, you're doing probably 80 miles an hour plus, is there a word that can describe what you feel like at that moment? Well, we don't do 80. We don't do much over 60 generally. But to your point, it's exhilarating, it's humbling. There's a lot of emotions, a lot of memories and a lot of things that we all have during operations, depending on whether it's morning or evening and the way the whistle sounds, the way that there's an ambiance when you go through a crowd of people, there's an aura that you can detect and you can feel. And you can feel that level of enthusiasm that they're sharing for the locomotive. And so from that standpoint, you're putting on a demonstration, you're putting on a show. So we sound the whistle very nice repeatedly. We sound it in a certain cadence that evokes more emotion from people. So it's all just a really big connection to be able to do that. We've all done it a long time, so there's a lot of experience here. And so when we operate the locomotive, we're very disciplined about every aspect of it. That pressure is maintained always at 300 pounds. We're very diligent about our fuel consumption, our water chemistry. Every aspect of that, there's this reverence about what we're doing. Because we want to carry on the traditions. We've had to fix a lot of equipment and we've got equipment that doesn't run anymore. And so we don't want to get to that point to where we're repeating some of those conditions that resulted in this equipment not running. So we're just very careful about that. But back to your point about what it's like, it's a true honor and a privilege. It's a blessing to be a part of it. We don't ever lose sight of that because this is the moment in time in which we're given this responsibility and we want to do it right. We want people to go away with this experience and very positive experience. We have materials that we give to people. Our interactions with people are very important and very personal. And that we want people to feel like that we're paying attention to them. We don't want to miss people. That's the thing that I enjoy. I know that the rest of the crew really enjoys that too. They're able to interact with people. And sometimes you're able to see those people again along the way. That's always special. But it's the young children that have the passion for the steam locomotive to know that you're impacting that moment in time for them. Yes, forever a memory and that's what leads into modeling. I always say it all the time that this is the best hobby in the world, model railing and railfanning in general.  Well, thank you very much. It's a privilege for us. And having this locomotive, this iconic machine and being the people that are the ones assigned to maintain it to actually reacquire it and to rebuild it is something from the beginning. We set ourselves on a mission that we want to make sure and do everything as careful as we can. When we maintain this locomotive, we don't have the luxury of having a roundhouse every night and having everything that the railroad had back when they kept these locomotives in operation. So that means we've got to really be careful and diligent about everything, all the details, the grease, the oil, how we operate the locomotive, the speeds we operate it, the track in which we operate it over, how we operate it. I mean, every piece of this is a very well orchestrated, carefully choreographed plan that we set in motion. The majority of those planning details are my responsibility. So that brings everything together full circle because knowing the logistics of everything allows me to fit this big giant piece of the puzzle into the rest of the railroad network and be able to deliver this in product on a timely manner, on an efficient manner, and in a manner that's going to maximize our ability to deliver the call it a return on investment because that's really in the end of the day, that's really what it is. Absolutely. And I want to thank you very much for this short portion of your time. I respect what you do and it's the best hobby in the world. I keep saying it. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you for the time today. For this segment of What's Neat, I've got Doug Blaine all the way from beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Bachman Trains. Isn't it wonderful to have you on the show tonight? Doug, how are you? Ken, it's a pleasure to be with you and all your fans. I look forward to talking with you and sharing some of our products from Bachman. That's awesome. Now I've been working with you for almost 30 years, Doug, and you have and I have both followed each other through the industry and watched it change to where it is now. Very strong, the best hobby in the world. And while I want to talk about, start by talking about some of the amazing photography that I was able to do for you, I was so honored at the time. And we're going to cover N scale, G scale, and all the various types of scale in these photographs as I run you through them, including ON30. I want to start with the 440s, Doug. That was an absolutely amazing locomotive. I had talked to Lee Riley about that model for years in that it originally has a drive shaft between the tender and the locomotive and Bachman remade that locomotive completely with a Coralus motor and absolutely turned it into a dynamite 440, the best on the HO scale market in my opinion. And I want to show you a beautiful photograph of the sunrise with that. I like to get up early in the morning to do some of these shots. I also did a shot of both of the Jupiter, both of them creating, recreating that effect of when Union Pacific finished the main line out in the middle of the country. And I also have a single shot here of the Bachman 440 doing a sunrise, whereas I used a body of water to reflect the locomotive. Very, very beautiful photography. I'm not toot my horn, but it is neat when I'm able to do art like this. I love it. I also did this beautiful locomotive in G scale. We put this on the 2016 cover. Do you remember what that was? In fact, that's on the shelf down here. Just a gorgeous locomotive with red wheels. I'm going to look and see what the name of that was. That's the grizzly flats. Oh, yes. Remember that? Absolutely, that is a beautiful locomotive and it was a beautiful shot from you as well, Ken. I also did that locomotive with a sunrise and just a little darker type of a photograph, creating a mood that I'm showing to you right here, just a kind of a different scenario. We also did a Bachman GG1 in N scale. There's a lot of avid N scalers out there. And this locomotive was absolutely dynamite and looked just like the one that Williams had done and the one that you guys had done in HO scale. I also want to say that I did this shot at nighttime. And this is going to be another N scale photograph where you guys had come out with these beautiful Pennsylvania streamlined passenger cars. And I painted a moon and I lit up some N scale buildings with LED lights on the inside and reflected a background light off of the track and lit up the train so it would reflect off the rails, creating a very interesting mood shot. I love doing shots like that. I also did, I'm going to show you an array of photographs here that I did with an ON30 locomotive. I think we ran this in the Bachman catalog one time as a centerfold shot. A lot of pine trees in the background, another reflective body of water and the mountains. Guys, this is just, this is the kind of stuff I love to do. On the 2020 Bachman catalog cover, we put that beautiful Amtrak locomotive that I've got sitting on the table. Again, I did use some pine trees and mountains. I didn't want to create a Midwest scene, but I probably should have with that one the way it was set up. This year, we did the Bachman trains 2021 catalog cover with the new Bachman G scale dash nine that's eventually going to come out. What a beautiful model. You guys had sent me the Santa Fe and the Santa Fe warp on it. Absolutely beautiful model. I want to end it up here with the Bachman N scale USAR steam locomotive, USRA steam locomotive that we had done. This was done outdoors. Again, all my photography is done outdoors where I created a scene using code 55 rail on this one. I worked a few Bachman N scale freight cars in the background that were completely weathered and it's just that type of art that I love creating. I think that pretty much wraps up all the photos here that I wanted to talk about tonight. We do have one more and that is the train sets. You guys have come out with an array of train sets. I've done a lot of various train set box art for you, which I do love doing, especially when I get to go to the big box doors and find my photographs sitting on the shelf. This is just one example of an N scale, or an HO scale train set that we had done. Doug, I know you've got some exciting stuff that you'd like to talk about too. Please tell us. Will do. Thanks for sharing those photos with us, Ken, and a reminder of all that great work. Much appreciated, believe me, over the years. I would like to start out actually with a follow-up to Larry Harrington's last appearance on your show. And he was showcasing the ALC 42. And we have a video to share with you showing some of the light sequences and sound sequences. So if you don't mind giving that a roll. Yes, here we go. And I can talk through some of that right now. Absolutely. All right, so here we go. First thing first is the startup sequence. That's amazing. That's absolutely amazing. And then we have separately controlled headlights and ditch lights. And the flashing ditch lights will activate as soon as the bell or the horn is activated. That's the magic of TCS. Their decoders are absolutely amazing with all the functions that they have in them. Absolutely. The next sequence shows the marker lights coming on when the locomotive is put into reverse. And the same will be seen on the back end of the locomotive when the direction changes. That's a similar effect. Very cool. We also have station announcement. And last but not least is a high-speed run-by with a great high-speed effect. And with the Doppler sound effect as it passes by the viewer. That's amazing. And you can control that on your home way out of home as it's running by and probably walking over the sound of this. But it's absolutely amazing to hear it go, as it comes through. I don't know why we had TCS. You did it beautifully. We'll get a recording for you the next time, for the next locomotive. There's other sound effects with this locomotive as well. There's emergency braking. There's a dead man's alarm. And also in the video, I don't know if you can see it very well. It's a little bit blown out by the lights, but there is an interior engine compartment light. That is right. Just like on the prototype. There's more sound effects on there as well. We just couldn't showcase everything. So enjoy. These locomotives will be out very late this year. And I see you have... I just wanted to show you this charger here, which I think I know has been shown before. I know, right? I'm at a special order mine from Lombard Hobbies up in Lombard, Illinois. That's a beautiful model, Doug. I can't wait. But that's the day one paint scheme from Amtrak. Limited edition. Be sure you get yours on order like Ken has. And make sure you get yours. Absolutely. Now you've got some other exciting models to show off today, don't you? We do. I have a train set to show you. Actually, too. I'm going to start out with an ON30 narrow gauge in O scale. And this is the East Broad Top set.  It's going to be a little awkward here in front of the camera, but bear with me. I'm going to come up to the side. Right. That's ON30. That's an amazing looking train set, Doug. So yeah, the East Broad Top. I think a lot of people are familiar with it. It was a narrow gauge railroad that operated in Western Pennsylvania. Right. From starting in 1872 to take coal from the Broad Top mountain and distribute it around Western Pennsylvania and other states as well. The mine closed in 1956. So from 1872 to 1956, that's a good long run for a narrow gauge railroad. But as soon as it closed in 1956, it opened as a tourist railroad. And it operated until 2011. And it is being reopened, yeah, close in 2011. And it's reopening this year. So tourist operations will begin again. And we wanted to have this set ready to go for, to commemorate the startup of the railroad again. I think we also have a picture of the set or just a locomotive and one of the cars that was shown in an ad. And so I'm sure you'll be showing that on the screen as well. But for narrow gauge fans out there, it's a terrific train set. The logos are with a, I'm called a stencil dash around the outside, which is the way the East Broad Top is displaying the logos now. And also, of course, some great historic colors and a great addition to any narrow gauge. Absolutely. And I just want to say, Doug, that that narrow gauge set, it comes with Bachman easy track. But the beauty of that is that's what you get started with. We can bring a newbie into the hobby. Somebody who is just starting out, they get into the narrow gauge, they start studying the history and you can take that locomotive and those cars and build on it with all the other products that Bachman's got in that line of O and 30, which they essentially created from the ground up. And I've talked about that story, how it started on the podcast at one time. But the fact is you can advance yourself, build your home layout, build a four by eight, build a diorama, build a module and continue to grow with that set as you add to it with additional freight cars, different locomotives and all the various things that you can buy from the Bachman catalog and or your favorite dealer. It's a great scale to work in because it's large, but yet it still runs on HO scale track. So hats off to you guys for coming up with that concept. Thank you. Yeah, great space saver. As you said, you can fit a lot of O scale railroading in a smaller space with the HO track. And as you said, it's a complete ready to run set. Great way to get started or get somebody else started as well. Absolutely right. Now I've got it as a gift. I've got an end scale locomotive on the table, runs on end scale track, but it's an HO scale locomotive. And this is one of my favorite new lines that you had come out with just about four years ago. And I think you've got something on that you'd like to talk about today. I do. Can I can I sneak in one extra set first, Ken? Please do. Okay. This is our Norman Rockwell. Again, in the interest of getting people started in the hobby of model railroading, this is a Norman Rockwell. It's our freedom train. This is an HO scale set. Nice. Also complete ready to run. And this has terrific graphics on the side. We're going to, you have a photo of this as well. You can flash up on the screen. Okay. The sort behind this set is that Norman Rockwell painted a series of photos called the four freedoms. It was freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom of want and freedom from fear. Wow. And these paintings traveled by rail in the freedom train right after World War II to help with the, it also helped, I'm sorry, helped with war bonds during World War II and after to foster the spirit of patriotism throughout the country that was prevalent after World War II and historic documents including original copies of the declaration, original copies of the Constitution, and the, we had a visitor. That's awesome. And Norman Rockwell's paintings. So this is a great way to share that history and a nice colorful patriotic train with someone new to the hobby. Amen. And now that it's Christmas, think about it. All these products that you're seeing would be perfect for that special model railroader in your life for Christmas. I'd like to see that big box wrapped up in paper. How cool would that be? I like the way you think. All right, Doug, tell us about these smaller locomotives that run on n-scale track that are in fact HO scale. Surely. These are, this is in our Thomas and Friends line. Yes. And it's, as you said, an HO narrow gauge train runs on n-track. It's commonly referred to as 009 in more of a British parlance. But our latest addition is Peter Sam. So this is a new locomotive. This is the first painted sample we have. And I'll show that to you now. Let me get this up here. Very nice. A little bit lower now. There you go, right there. There you go. How about that? There's a little bit of a delay here. And give me a side shot of it. All right, there we go. I'm going to bring it around this way. Actually, I got to come back over there. No, no, more toward your face. There you go. Perfect. And the beauty of these... I would make the worst dentist in the world. Doug, the one... I cannot work backwards. All right. The wonderful thing about these locomotives is, yes, they are in the Thomas line, but there's so much more that you can do with these. The scratch builders out there and the modelers out there that want to build an HO scale, narrow gauge type of a train set or a layout. You can scratch build your buildings. You can take obviously the smiling faces off of the locomotives and scratch build a front or take a front off of a different locomotive and put on it, repaint it. There's so many different things that you can do with this scale, including scratch building your own freight cars. So this is something also that I could see you guys, you know, building into something in the future. I'm going to put up some of our other locomotives we have in this line. Okay. Just to show people the variety and getting a strange glare on the screen now. I'm not sure where that's coming from. Looks good on my end. At any rate, to go along with these cars, we do have narrow gauge slate wagons, two pad, two styles of passenger cars. We've announced a box van and a brake van. So we do intend for this line to keep growing. And here's some of the locomotives we already have done. These are already on the market. Right. This is Scarlowee. Right. That's what I've got right here in front of us. That's Scarlowee. In fact, I'm probably showing photographs of this one because I shot this one outside with some River Point station vehicles and some H.O. Scale people, and it just made it look like a scenic tourist railroad. Oh, I love that locomotive. That's a diesel. Yes. This is Lange. Got it. Trying to get it out of the glare. I can't do it. It looks good. All right. There. This is called Rusty. Okay. So that's another one. So it's a nice family of locomotives. And then this one is Reneas. That's nice. I have two versions of Reneas in this original color scheme and then in the yellow color scheme. That is very cool. And you can find all of these models in the 2021 Bachman catalog. In fact, I'm thumbing through it briefly to see if I can find them all at the same time. And this catalog is laid out really well. It's broken down by scales. H.O. Scale, G. Scale, the whole bit all the way through. We also have a catalog. We can download via PDF from our website, of course, www.BachmanTrains.com. Don't forget the double N in Bachman. And you can download the whole catalog and peruse it that way as well. So I don't have a catalog right here. I'm not sure what page it's on, Ken, but they are certainly all listed. So along with all of our Thomas products in H.O. Scale, H.O. Narrow Gauge, N. Scale, and L.R. Scale. Absolutely awesome, Doug.
