Isn´t this beautiful? Old combined with new and it´s not "transport" but "Transperth"!
These trains are always on time and even if full to the brim the peeps are friendly.
We went to Freo and uhhhh...
Maybe it rather was "HAVE something for me?!!!"
A frustrated seagull that is...
Me, a bit, too...
Here 20C atm , tops only 25 - if we are lucky.
So... back to real work.
Sadly not this. But I have this (thank you, Ingo!!!):
The yellow at the doors is still missing... let´s wait for a boring winter´s day with that!
Another history-bite? Speaking of trains/railway is not all! (German source, rest by deepl)
"Watt is best known for his work on the steam engine and for giving his name to a unit of power, but he also patented a copying machine in 1780.
The technology had two sides. You could write on the top page and then press it with the device against a thinner, transparent page."
"The ink was dissolved by the moisture and penetrated through the tissue paper, so that the writing on the reverse was visible on the correct side."
Glad we have scanners now, but doctors here still use the fax-machine!!!!

Ah that black swan... such a wonderful pic
Just from the net, I´m sorry, but the rest is real!
Ah James Watt. I remember studying about him in physics in college. That is a gorgeous train station, and nice you have a similar train to admire all the time. I noticed the owl behind the trains right away. But then, I have a soft spot for owls. :) Hope your day is going well. hugs-Erika
I like the play of words on transport and transperth. Your desk train is very cute. I think I'd be daydreaming about all the places the train would take me. Wait up, Gully! I'll go to the water with you.
Doctors here still fax I think mostly to the pharmacy -prescriptions
Erika, we sadly did not learn about Watt at school, but yippeee to the internet!
And to Ingo who is such a fuss-head to present me with trains all the time :-)
I love owls, too, this one holds hand creme :-) Hugs

CJ, yes, sometimes I go to Freo or friends in my mind, seeing Transperth right there!
Yep, count me in with the water!

Christine, wow. Fax, really.
Love your little train! I would be most happy with your temperatures, we need to trade!
Doctors here use fax machines for prescriptions as they can't be hacked like email.
Nice collection of trains.
Transperth reminds me of Dublin's Heuston station. Good memories.
James Watt has a nice face. We learned about the steam engine in school, but I didn't know about the copy machine.
Love that swan!
The old Perth station is pretty, they did a good job incorporating the old with the new. Faxes are also still used in the medical field. I think they find it safer than email.
Sue, 18C now. let´s trade!
I love my trains, too :-)

RedPat, some here use not e-mail but portals which are pretty safe. I don´t have a fax-machine...
____
Bill, that´s not all! :-)
Who ever thought I´d enter the world of railway... and love it! The technical aspects, I mean.

DB Steward, I googled Dublin's Heuston station - beautiful, too. And the stalls inside! One December in "our" Perth train station was a flower-shop: "Flowers inside due to the heat!"

River, we did not learn about Watt at school - sad, huh? Or I was sick "that day" ;-)
____
magiceye, it´s but from the internet, sorry! In fact this time I saw no black swan for real - too hot the weather?
____
Sami, yes, Perthies are great in combining old and new. Next time I´ll focus on that!
My health insurance company uses a safe portal. Who,as private person has (or ever had) a fax-machine?
My parents had, cause they had a shop. Then companies started to send ads with loads of color, so the machine went to the bin.
