This diesel-hauled freight train is pictured at Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire, heading west towards Peterborough. The Class 66 loco is owned by D B Schenker Rail (UK), which took over EWS (English, Welsh and Scottish Railway) in 2007.

GM 079 passes the site of the former Charleville Junction with the RPSI '171 for 171' railtour, viewed from OBC 293 / Effin.
The junction was between the Cork mainline and the Cork Direct Line which diverged towards Limerick, via Croom and Patrickswell. The clearing between the trees behind the loco marks the former trackbed towards Croom. The Cork Direct Line between the junction and Patrickswell closed in March 1967. A number of bridges and station structures still exist on the alignment.
079 was very busy this time last year on weedsprayer duties in East Cork and along the South Wexford & Tipp lines.

A stop at Thunder Bay enabled me to take a few photographs of the CPR locomotives hauling my train. Although night was just around the corner and the light was failing fast, I managed one or two useable snaps. Thunder Bay June 1979.

In de zomervakantie van 2023 moesten mijn vrouw en ik wegens familie omstandigheden halsoverkop naar Aberdeen, Schotland. Tijdens een van de laatste dagen daar, bleek de Caledonian Railway een speciaal evenement te hebben; de Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Diverse door diesellocomotieven getrokken treinen reden tussen Brechin en Bridge of Dun. Op diverse plekken langs de lijn heb ik gefotografeerd en natuurlijk ook zelf weer een ritje gemaakt. Toch nog een geslaagde dag geweest.
During the summer holidays of 2023, my wife and I had to rush to Aberdeen, Scotland, due to family circumstances. During one of the last days there, the Caledonian Railway turned out to be having a special event; the Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Several diesel locomotive-hauled trains ran between Brechin and Bridge of Dun. I took photographs at various places along the line and of course also went for a ride myself. Still a successful day.
Während der Sommerferien 2023 mussten meine Frau und ich aus familiären Gründen eilig nach Aberdeen, Schottland, reisen. An einem der letzten Tage dort hatte die Caledonian Railway ein besonderes Ereignis; die Caledonian Railway Sulzer Diesel Gala. Zwischen Brechin und Bridge of Dun verkehrten mehrere von Diesellokomotiven gezogene Züge. Ich habe an verschiedenen Stellen entlang der Strecke Fotos gemacht und bin natürlich auch selbst mitgefahren. Dennoch ein erfolgreicher Tag.
Change in injection pressures since 1996 for Series 4000 engines
Since 1996, MTU has steadily increased the injection pressures to further reduce consumption and particulate emissions. Since 2000, MTU has used advanced versions of the common rail system on the Series 4000, amongst others, in which each fuel injector has its own fuel reservoir. The advantage is that even with large injection quantities, the fuel rail remains free of pres-sure fluctuations and the injection sequences of the individual cylinders do not interfere with each other.

Paxman (of Colchester) 12TPM engines powered all the World War 2 British-built diesel engined tank landing craft which played a major role in the Normandy landings.
3,533 TPMs were built before hostilities ceased: 2,227 by Paxman at Colchester and 1,306 at Renault's British factory at Western Avenue, Park Royal, London W3.
At the end of WW2, Renault produced a brochure illustrating their achievement from which this selection of photographs is reproduced

Maybach MD870 engines from "Hymek" diesel-hydraulic locomotives, seen in the scrapyard adjoining Swindon Works during an open day held on Saturday 13th September 1975.
Maybach's classification system didn't refer to the number of cylinders ...in this case sixteen... but was based on their swept volume. There had been an MD865 engine ...swept volume a little over 86 litres... of which the MD870 was a charge-air cooled version. The "UIC" rating (some sort of international railway standard) of these engines was 2,000bhp. Used at this rating the Hymek, under BR's power classification system, would have been a Type 4 locomotive. No BR classification existed for locomotives between 1,750 and 2,000bhp and it is thought that the engines were de-rated to 1,750bhp because, at a higher setting, they couldn't logically exist!
The MD series were highly standardised engines. The MD870 had 6,500 parts, but since many were duplicated throughout the 16 cylinders, there were only 860 different items. Of these only 260 were unique to the MD870, the balance of 600 being common to all the MD engines.
From time to time a group of enthusiasts and collectors of historic toy trains meets in an old engine shed at the station of Erkrath-Hochdahl (near Düsseldorf). The site has been converted into a small railway museum. The tin plate fans set up two extended make-shift layouts (in gauge 1 and gauge 0 respectively) and enjoy running their classic rolling stock. The meetings are open to the public.
Here we see a nice yellow gauge 1 diesel engine; I have yet to figure out which prototype it follows. Anyhow it is pulling a luxurious passenger train which doesn't quite fit; but anything is allowed in tin plate toy country!
