NS. Prototype of a new dieselengine.

The picture shows the fragmented remains of a Gardner 6LXB piston, the casting on the left is the inlet manifold, not the exhaust. This was the discovery upon stripping the engine of a preserved Bristol VR to investigate a seizure. The engine was found to have five verticle pistons and two thirds of one horizontal. We later found No.1 con-rod had attempted to make a break for freedom through the crank case. Neeedless to say, it's time for a replacement unit.
I thought today's upload would have to be modern traction.... until Sybilla pulled into Whitby station while I was waiting for my train home.
See what I mean about the weather? For a long time before the train arrived, there was glorious sun on the viaduct and all around. As soon as the 20s appeared about half a mile away, it clouded over. 20304 and 20303 cross Knucklas viaduct with Pathfinder Railtours’ “The Heart of Wales Explorer,” 1Z29 16:35 Llandrindod Wells to Derby, the first time since 1997 that Class 20s have worked the line. Naturally, the weather didn’t play ball.

“It was lots of fun,” Bellefonte Central Railroad office employees exclaimed as they arrived at the State College depot after the 18 mile journey from Bellefonte in the cab of a locomotive. The ride was occasioned by a new diesel engine, replacing steam power on the railroad.

Als full time vader en echtgenoot sta ik, op de incidentele hoofdlijnritten van de SSN of VSM en de evenementen na, bijna niet meer langs het spoor. Wat ik aan NS (of andere maatschappijen) materieel fotografeer is vaak bijvangst van stoom of museummaterieel waar ik voor op uit was getrokken. Gelukkig komt het nog wel een enkele keer voor dat ik even tijd heb, maar dat is helaas maar sporadisch.
As a full-time father and husband I hardly make pictures of regular trains. Almost only when the SSN or VSM has one of their rare main line trips, I am able to catch some regular trains too. So what I catch with my camera of the NS (or other companies) trains is often a side catch of steam or museum material passing by. Fortunately I do find occasionally some time to make pictures.
