The real Viper with a V-10 from more then 500hp. But . . . the roof open with 8 degrees Celsius . . . No testdrive for me today.

'64 FORD Fairlane 500 THUNDERBOLT
Sporting a 427 cubic inch engine ! Thunderbolt was a 425hp 427 cid high rise engine. Reported horsepower was 425, however it was closer to 500 hp and rocketed these tiny Ford's to mid 11 second quarter mile times. The 427 engine featured 12.7:1 compression, two four barrel carburetors, and a special intake and camshaft. Air was fed into the engine through a ram air system with vents connected to unused head lamp entrances in the grill. Very unique headers were constructed that snaked around the suspension.

Back when coal was King and Toton Yard was the centre of that universe a class 47 heads for Ratcliffe PS with a loaded mgr while one of the original 'Peaks' arrives back home on empties. 'Helvellyn' was unique amongst the pilot scheme batch by virtue of initially possessing a 'B' series Sulzer engine rated at 2,500hp rather than the 2,300hp for the 'A' series fitted to the rest of the 44s as the original 12LDA28 engine had seized while on static test during construction. It therefore became popular for high speed tests on the WCML which included 100mph running - far removed from the eventual plodding around the East Midlands on slow coal and mixed freights in later life!
Attended a Lime Rock Show yesterday, and was mostly disappointed with the subject matter. I'll probably have a few shots to post but one car immediately grabbed my attention and literally stopped me in my tracks. I was clueless as to what it was, but it was a real beauty. And it was until I returned home and did some online research when I found out more about this little gem...like it's 1/2 mullion dollar plus price, among other things. It's a limited production, custom bodied car built by an Italian company, Kimera, and it features the same underpinnings as the original Lancia EVO37, a 500hp+, both supercharged and turbocharged inline 2.1L 4 cylinder powerplant. The following will provide the interested reader with more details:
Following the launch of its original Lancia 037 restomod in 2021, Italian outfit Kimera Automobili has revealed a new limited-run take, inspired by Martini Racing’s iconic Group B racer. Developed in collaboration with two-time World Rally Champion Miki Biasion and Martini, just 37 examples will be produced, with prices expected to exceed the £415,000 of its original car.
Kimera’s EVO37 is not built from one of the few, and very special originals, but built from scratch in a similar construction method with modern materials and techniques. The chassis itself is a bespoke monocoque built from tube steel, with subframes directly welded to it on either side. The steel structure is then clothed in bespoke carbonfibre panels, replacing the original kevlar composite units.
While it features the same underpinnings as the original EVO37, the Martini 7 adopts a new carbonfibre aerodynamics package, applying a new front splitter, side skirts, more aggressive in-built canards and NACA ducts aft of the doors and on the rear haunches. The use of more carbonfibre and carbonkevlar in the Martini 7 is said to drop weight to 1100kg.
Continuing the motorsport theme, the rear has received a complete overhaul, with new carbonfibre air vents framing a transparent engine cover to reveal its rally-inspired power plant. The rear bumper is also now equipped with a quick disconnect mechanism, allowing buyers to display the gearbox casing and ceramic coated exhaust system in all its glory, just like the Group B 037.
As in the homologation car, the forged double wishbone suspension has a long-travel design, with dual Ohlins dampers flanking the separated spring at the rear and a more compact coilover design on the front end.
Like the structure, the engine is also referenced by the original, running a new-build 2.1-litre four-cylinder engine that is both turbo and supercharged. Unlike the original, however, the supercharger will be electrically driven, so as not to bleed power away from the engine itself as all purely mechanical units do.
The engine’s development has been overseen by one of Lancia’s original powertrain engineers Claudio Lombardi, and thanks to the advances in engine technology is said to produce 542bhp in Martini 7 trim, up 49bhp on the original EVO37. The engine will power the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual, or six-speed sequential transmission, the latter operable via electro-mechanically actuated paddles behind the steering wheel – in-line with its motorsport connection, ratios are shortened in Martini 7-trim.
The overall design remains similar to the original restomod, reworking the Lancia 037’s iconic design with the aid of modern, high-tech carbonfibre manufacturing techniques. Details, like the front and rear lighting, mesh inserts and wheels are also new, the latter being of a much larger 18- and 19-inch staggered design to clear the modern brake package. The Martini 7 receives new wheels inspired by those originally featured on the Delta Evoluzione, created with weight-saving in mind and incorporating the yellow/black carbon-kevlar of Delta group A cars.
Inside, Kimera has opted for a tasteful dry carbonfibre and blue Alcantara theme, with the dials coming with the same orange backlight as the racer. A unique limited-edition plaque, enamel Miki Biasion/Martini dashboard logo and Martini Racing harnesses also feature, with the main control panel labelled exactly how it was in the race car. Being a modern recreation, Kimera has also incorporated a second control panel in the centre console for fine tuning of the ABS and traction control.
A total of 37 Kimera EVO37 Martini 7s will be produced, joining 37 of the original recreation.

A couple of pilgrims take a brief rest from their march to the Hindu Festival being held near Reengus knowing they are not too many miles from their destination. And, while you'd like to think it's the train that draws their attention, in more likelihood it's the couple of photographers, unusual in these parts, who are standing trackside.
The target is captured cresting the rise just to the north-east of Ringas Junction - 4,500hp Indian Railways WDG-4 locomotive no. 12412 hauling a long trainload of washed coal in sheeted box wagons.
This cross-country route between Phulera via Ringas Junction to Rewari had not long been converted to broad gauge and, in the days of metre-gauge operations, the now abandoned shelter at right would have been used by the level crossing keeper. During gauge conversion the level crossing was removed and a single track underpass built to handle the intermittent road traffic.
Through the heat haze in the distance can be seen a few more coloured flags. It's tradition, for those who are able, to make their way to the festival on foot and there are many tents by the side of the road en route where the locals take it upon themselves to provide sustenance and a seat for the weary travellers, and indeed anyone else who cares to stop by (including ourselves).

With 13,500hp combined, QL020, QL019 and QL007 make light work of their train 7MW7 towards the summit of the gradient at Cullerin.
Both QL020 and QL019 are wrapped in artwork by Indigenous artist and Wiradjuri man, Darren Charlwood, created for Qube’s Reconciliation Action Plan. They were welcomed to the Qube fleet with a traditional smoking ceremony held by Randall Briggs on Awabakal land.
The artwork, titled Yindyamarra, depicts the balance and interconnectedness that exists between people, the sea, and the country.

Australian National loco 514 shunts the siding at the South Australian Cooperative Bulk Handling silos at Port Adelaide on Saturday morning 7 December 1991. The rail sidings have been rationalised at this location over the years, partially replaced by a newer facility closer to deeper water.
514 was one of thirty-four 500 class shunters built by the South Australian Railways at Islington Works between 1964-1969, and fitted with English Electric 4SRKT engines rated at 500hp.

A rather grey August day finds the High Speed Train prototype power cars 43000/01 opening up as they start to accelerate through Burton on Trent on a test run from Derby, 7th August 1976. During the summer of 1976 the prototype power cars (43000/01) were paired with a rake of four production trailers, a Mark III SO, a Mark II FK and Test Car 6 to undertake a series of high speed tests.
I have been advised that it is 43001 leading.
Unit History
The prototype High Speed Train was developed at the Railway Technical Centre, Derby, with the power cars being constructed Crewe Works in 1972 and the coaches constructed at Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The engine used in the power cars was a Paxman 'Valenta' 12RP200L developing 2,500hp with the electrical equipment being supplied by Brush. Upon introduction the two power cars were numbered 41001 and 41002. After a short period the entire train including the passenger coaches became Class 252 and the power cars were renumbered 43000 and 43001. After operating its initial proving trials on the Eastern Region the train was transferred to the Western Region for Paddington Bristol/Weston-super-Mare services which commenced in May 1975. From May 1976 until October 1976 the power cars were used in a series of high speed tests before 252001 returned to service in October 1976 until sufficient production High Speed Train sets were available in late November 1976 when the prototype train was withdrawn, The power cars passed to the Research Division at Derby and used to power various high speed development trains. Whilst with the Research Department they were eventually renumbered RDB975812/13 respectively. There use with the Research Department declined and RDB975812 was withdrawn in March 1982 and RDB975813 in December 1988, although RDB975812 has been preserved while RDB975813 was sadly broken up by CF Booth, Rotherham in December 1990. Most of the prototype coaches were later converted into production vehicles or departmental vehicles with two becoming part of the Royal Train.

GP Elite Trackday @ Circuit Park Zandvoort (01-12-2011)
A friend of me asked me to come along to a trackday where he would go do some laps on a very wet track. The rain was pooring down and taking shots was quite hard.
This was the car that immediately draw my attention when we arrived at the paddock of the track, I've always loved Alpina's and this is the first new Alpina B5 Biturbo on Dutch plates.
The engine in the car puts out just over 500hp!
Due to the heavy rain, and it leaving early, I didn't get any more shots of this car but I would really like to see it again and take some proper shots of it.
Despite the weather and not having much great shots, we had a blast at the track talking with other drivers and doing some laps.

Nicknamed the 'Kerosene Castle' by railwaymen the Brown, Boveri & Cie and SLM built Gas Turbine electric was constructed in 1946 in an effort to find a modern loco available to deliver as much power as a GWR 'King' (ie. 2,500hp at the rail) as no suitable diesel was able to do so at the time. It was expensive to operate and a generally unreliable experiment that soon proved to be a dead end, not helped by only running on 3 traction motors for the latter part of its career as BR simply couldn't be bothered to replace the defective one! It was withdrawn in 1960 as diesels started to arrive and moved to Vienna as an unpowered research vehicle for the International Union of Railways. Repatriated in 1991 it is now preserved at the Didcot Railway Centre.

Looking to add a bigger tractor to their farm and save some money along the way, Greg and Glenn Honey of Bracken, Saskatchewan spent the winter of 1978-79 building it... It is powered by a 500hp V12 Cummins diesel engine and weighs 20000kg.
One of the two prototype High Speed Train power cars 43001 heads an Advanced Passenger Train test run back towards Derby at Duffield, 1st June 1979. The prototype High Speed Train was developed at the Railway Technical Centre, Derby, with the power cars being constructed by BREL Crewe Works in 1972. The coaches were constructed by BREL at Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The engine used in the power cars was a Paxman 'Valenta' 12RP200L developing 2,500hp with the electrical equipment being supplied by Brush. Upon introduction the two power cars were numbered 41001 and 41002. After a short period the entire 'set' including the passenger coaches became class 252 and the power cars were renumbered 43000 and 43001. After operating its initial proving trials on the Eastern Region the set was transferred to the Western Region for Paddington Bristol/Weston-super-Mare services. Following the introduction of production High Speed Train sets the prototype unit was withdrawn, the power cars passing to the Research Division at Derby, and used to power various high speed development trains. Whilst with the Research Department they were eventually renumbered RDB975812/13 respectively. There use with the Research Department declined and RDB975812 was withdrawn in March 1982 and RDB975813 in December 1988. RDB975812 has been preserved and has become a resident in the National Railway Museum at York, while RDB975813 was sadly broken up by CF Booth, Rotherham in December 1990. Most of the prototype coaches were later converted into production vehicles or departmental vehicles.
