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.

Crianlarich West Highland Line April 2011
EWS liveried 66111 draws to a halt at Crianlarich in the West Highlands with Day 2 of the "Loch Lomond & Royal Deeside Railtour"
The full length of the train was too long for the platform with T&T partner 66114 unseen round the corner. The driver gets out and locks the engine off and take the long walk to the other locomotive.
He telephones for a radio token to drive back down the line to Dumbarton Central via Craigendoran Jct. Whilst all this is going on the punters of this UK Railtours train were tucking into a three course meal on the train.
They were staying at the Beardmore Hotel in Dalmuir.
Crianlarich is where the normal service trains Class 156 DMU's still uncouple. They are either have a 2 & 2 or 4 & 2 formation upon arrival with the different portions being split either going onto
Oban and Fort William.
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.
