W210
With its characteristic "four-eyes face", the W210 series E-class marked a milestone in automobile design in 1995, and won the coveted "red dot design award". Its formal beauty is coupled with technical intelligence : the electronic stability program ESP, the xenon headlights, additional airbags around the head and shoulders, the rain sensor for the windscreen wipers and the parking sensor PARKTRONIC make driving the E-Class even safer and more pleasant.

Recently-restored Metropolitan Railway E Class 0-4-4T No1 gleaming in the winter sun - back home at Quainton Road on February 17th, after its starring role in the LU150 celebrations on the London Underground in January.
Still shot from HD video:
I like the simplicity of those wheel covers, they really match the straightforward but elegant design of the W124.

NZR E class (1872)
Double Fairlie steam locomotive.
Built by the Vulcan Foundry in England, the locomotives were shipped to New Zealand in kit set form. Arriving at Port Chalmers in August, they were unloaded onto the wharf and were assembled in situ. The railway's No.2 "Josephine" was assembled first due to its being closer to the end of the wharf, and after two weeks of assembly she first raised steam on 11 September 1872. After a short test run, "Josephine" was used to help finish the construction of the line while No. 1 "Rose" was completed.
Only "Josephine", one of the Vulcan locomotives, has survived. After being sold for scrap to the Otago Iron Rolling Mills in 1917, she languished at the company's Green Island premises. She was still there in 1926 when the company had her cosmetically restored (including the fitting of balloon funnels, which she never had in service) and she was placed on display at the New Zealand South Seas Exhibition of 1926 next to AB class 608 "Passchendaele". At this time she was placed in the ownership of the Otago Settlers Museum. This is believed to be the first example of railway preservation in New Zealand.

Veteran Borsig 'E' Class 2-8-0 No.7.712 (Works No.9007 built in 1914) of the now mainly disused metre-gauge Piraeus, Athens and Peloponnese Railways (SPAP), at Piraeus depot, Athens, on 3rd September 1985. Remarkably, the loco was still there in 1999, but its fate since then is unknown. Due to the economic crisis in Greece in 2011, all services on the system were suspended.

Largely the work of legendary French designer Paul Bracq, the W114 series of Mercedes saloons gained a new model in 1969. Based on the standard four-door saloon, it featured a two-door cabin with drop down side windows creating a svelte pillarless silhouette whilst remaining achingly elegant, yet hugely practical with seating for four.
From 1972 the new twin-cam 2.746 cc engine with Bosch fuel injection was available pumping out 185 bhp and a useful 176 ft/lbs of torque. Coupled with Mercedes’ superb automatic transmission, this luxury car excelled at continental grand touring.
This smart, three owner Mercedes has remaining almost unused since its purchase in 2009. Indeed, the last Mot in June 2009 recorded no advisories and only 89.433 miles - the car presently indicating only 89.871 miles. The history file of this 280 contains the V5C and owner’s pack including service booklet showing some 19 service stamps, the last in May 2009 at 88.712 miles which included a gearbox service. In addition to this, there are a further ten stamps for brake fluid changes and one more for coolant.
Evidently well looked after, the car reflects this when seen in the flesh – rarely do we see CE’s of this vintage in such lovely order, so good were they in period, that most have been to the moon and back. Grab this smart, low-mileage CE while you can.

Not a good picture, but I really like this combination. And they're Belgians visiting or at least driving through the Netherlands, which is rare on its own.

This Mercedes-Benz 200 was delivered new on 19th May 1981 by Mercedes-Benz Longchamp in Paris. Presented in outstandingly original condition, the car has enjoyed single-family ownership from new (uncle and nephew) and has covered a certified circa 54.500 km. The second Carte Grise is on file together with a photocopy of the first. The owners were wealthy landowners, who never drove the Mercedes in the rain and on longer trips often transported it by train. When not in use it was kept garaged, protected by a cover.
The colour combination is particularly appealing: Walnut Brown with Saffron Light Tan interior in MB Tex fabric. The original paintwork is beautifully preserved, as is the upholstery, which has been protected since delivery by made-to-measure zipped covers and has never seen the light of day. Factory fitted options include power steering, central locking, lockable glove compartment, folding front armrest, electrically heated rear window, halogen fog lamps, parcel nets, and rear courtesy light. The first owner had the right-side door mirror fitted by Mercedes-Benz, and the car also retains its original Blaupunkt Montreux radio, complete with instruction manual.
Life is full of surprises. When I pulled up the blinds in my hotel room, I out load said OMG for about two hours as I captured images all through the afternoon, evening, twilight, and sunrise.
This Blue Hour shot is my favorite and is a technique I LOVE to teach in my Night Photography eClass. I have an eClass coming up, JOIN US and you'll be in love with blue hour too.

The entire Victorian Railways E class electric locomotive family. E is for E class ;) Better pics and detail shots once I get back from the snow in a few days time.
These were used for suburban goods services in Melbourne. The locos with the steeple cab design (there were only two ever built) came into service in 1923. The box cab design was introduced five years later. They were known as "elec locos" up until the only other class of VR electric loco (the L class) was introduced in 1955, after which they were classified as "E class". In later years these locos were known as "electric chairs".
Production: 1968 - 1972 (8,824 cars built).
Engine: 2,496 cc inline six cylinder engine, 150 hp @ 5,500 rpm.
This particular car was intended as donar car until it transpired that the 250 CE was become rarer, and that it used to belong to former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Tom King.
