🔬 Did you know that you can measure the size AND shape of your samples, all within the span of a few seconds?
The Bettersizer S3 Plus at #GCR can measure particle sizes between 0.01-3500μm, as well as shape parameters (e.g. Length/Diameter, circularity, sphericity) of particles between 2-3500μm.

#MidweekPeak Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast*...👹
D123 looking every bit the handsome devil during the recent #GreatCentralRailway diesel gala. Love this livery on the big green Type 4, perfectly matched to those mk1s.

"...Our findings will help us estimate how these processes affect the movement and storage of carbon in the rocks."

We’re happy to support Haolin’s research and the work being done through the GCR! 🪨🔬

#ThirtySevenThursday Good timing to catch a flock of birds passing overhead as #HeavyTractor 37714 'Cardiff Canton' prepares to depart from Loughborough Central with the goods wagon set during the Great Central Railway diesel gala. #Class37 #GCR 4/9/26

He is interested in select millimeter-scale laminae from IODP Expedition 379 to identify differences in the depositional processes responsible for sediment accumulation within a contourite drift deposit.

#MidweekPeak What a stunner 45125/ D123 is now! Totally rocking her BR green livery & minus the front headlight she made quite a sight at the recent Great Central Railway diesel gala & was easily the star of the show for me. 📸 Leicester North & stabled with D6535 at Loughborough #GCR 4/9/26

#TwentySevenTuesday The immaculate 27056 at Loughborough Central during the recent Great Central Railway autumn diesel gala. I really love the atmosphere at this station, it's always a pleasure to visit. This #McRat has #Midland history with early spells at CW & TO depots. #GCR #BRCW 4/9/26

While you were immersed in Christopher Nolan's retelling of the Odyssey, did you know that Odysseus' journey home took him past (or very close to) many scientific ocean drilling sites?

Residues & Returned Samples. After samples are processed on the ship and in researchers' labs they are returned to the GCR. Here we sort & store them by Expedition. This collection is useful for education requests and intervals that have been depleted in the core collection. #GCR #NSFfunded

GCR/RVを追っていると、「今週」「明日」「72時間以内」と具体的な日付が次々に出てきます。

だったら、その日が来たら本当に起きたのか確認してみよう。

9月6日時点で、IQDの公式RV、Tier 4B、3ゼロ削除、銀行閉鎖などを答え合わせしました。

僕が本当に気になっているのは、その先のTier 5です。

#SulzerSunday A great view as we ate our fish & chips on the platform at Loughborough Central on Friday evening. 27056 waits time in platform 2 before working the 17.20 service to Leicester North during day 2 of the Great Central Railway autumn diesel gala. #GCR @brcwco.bsky.social 4/9/26

SyphonSaturday After photting mainline stuff at Barrow @bennybizzle1.bsky.social & myself were in need of refreshment so a quick hop to nearby Quorn & the excellent cafe at the #GreatCentralRailway. And while there the fine looking D6700 came by on the mineral wagons! #GCR 5/9/26
