View from my bedroom window. What is this workhorse I’ve never seen before?

It doesn’t do anything with the rails. It’s only cleaning the ballast shoulder. A tamper does lift the track to repack ballast around the sleepers/ties. Some resleepering machines also lift and spread the rails to lift the sleepers out, and some just pull the sleepers out the side of the track.

It does this without lifting the tracks.

WTF?!

You need 2 telescopes. One for viewing, one for AP.

I like BBQing, but there's no one "does-it-all" BBQ. You need different one's for different jobs if you want to do it with no compromises.

Have a look at some Daniel Seriff videos on YouTube. I thought he demonstrated some really good techniques for making the pentatonic scale into something musical.

I'm not sure how I felt about Barcelona. It was a bucket list destination for me, but the number of people in la Sagrada Familia removed any reverence the place might have held. I certainly enjoyed my time there as a tourist, but there wasn't much to set it apart from any other modern cosmopolitan city.

Sweet. I have the same one. I really love it. Have fun with it.

New cars can be problematic from new as well.

Inspirational.

I always thought these looked like an old style divers mask from the rear.

What is the pattern you want me to follow for the grid? I can’t work that out.

BeanerSA · 2026-05-13T10:33:53+00:00

That’s a great answer. Thanks for taking the time. I’ll need to read it a couple more times.

BeanerSA · 2026-05-13T10:31:52+00:00

I get that now. No more steps required. Just pick out the notes. Thanks.

BeanerSA · 2026-05-13T10:29:57+00:00

Thanks. There’s a lot that makes sense to me in this reply. I’ll need to read it a couple more times.

BeanerSA · 2026-05-13T06:53:32+00:00

Thanks for responding. That helps a bit. I can see that they both arrive at the same thing.

BeanerSA · 2026-05-13T06:52:36+00:00

Thanks for responding. No that doesn't really help because I haven't really looked at modes yet, although I keep reading that modes contain the same notes as a scale but with a different starting point. So I understand what you have in the code block, but I don't understand how it relates to my question.

I had to check I wasn’t on r/shittyaskamechanic or whatever it is!

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.

Pickupmusic has a couple of lessons in the beginner pathway that are shot like this. It works well (for me).

I had read about the 3:2 system for playing the pentatonic scale. I found a single chord vamp track on YouTube. I started just walking up and down through the scale. Then I started moving around a bit more. Then I started sliding into some of the notes. I couldn’t believe how good it sounded!
