The Lotus Carlton (in mainland Europe, the Lotus Omega) was a Vauxhall Carlton saloon upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177 mph (285 kph) sports car. Like all Lotus vehicles, it was given a type designation — Type 104 in this case. The external differences were minimal to the five seater with only the rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, and considerably wider wheel arches telling it apart from any other Carlton. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British racing green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus' modifications included an upgraded engine, which was stroked from the standard Vauxhall 2969 cc 24v straight six unit, used in the GSi, to a capacity of 3615 cc. Lotus then added twin Garrett T25 turbochargers to give 382 hp (281 kW). A six-speed manual ZF transmission from a Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 was used to transfer this power to the rear wheels. The car was capable of 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and had 12.5 in (330 mm) AP ventilated disc brakes with racing calipers all round.
Production of the Lotus Carlton began in 1990, four years after the original Carlton went on sale. General Motors (the parent company of Vauxhall, Opel and - at the time - Lotus) had hoped to build 1,100 cars in total, but due to the recession of the early 1990s, the £48,000 cars were not selling as well as anticipated and production at Lotus was halted in December 1992. Only 950 cars were completed: 320 Carltons and 630 Omegas, 150 short of the original target.
The Lotus Carlton and Omega were never federalized for sale in the USA, but as of 2007 the Lotus Omega is allowed to be imported into the USA under the DOT's "Show and Display" exemption. It is unknown if any have been imported.

I believe this is a fairly recent restoration to be added to the RAF Historic Fire Engine collection.
A traction engine is a self-propelled steam engine used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location. The name derives from the Latin 'tractus', meaning 'drawn', since the prime function of any traction engine is to draw a load behind it. They are sometimes called road locomotives to distinguish them from their track-bound steam locomotive cousins. The machines tend to be robust and powerful, but also heavy and slow. Nevertheless, they revolutionized agriculture and road haulage at a time when the only alternative prime mover was the draught horse.

The White Pass and Yukon Route railway is a 110 mile long railroad whose building was financed by the British Close Brothers (William, Fred and James Close) between 1898 and 1901.
It is a narrow guage railroad that connects Skagway, Alaska, on the west coast of Alaska, and Whitehorse Yukon, in the Canadian interior.
Engine 51 was one of the first locomotives used on the railway. It also operated briefly on the Atlin Short Line Railway, also known as the Taku Tramline, across the isthmus from Taku Arm, near the mouth of the Atlin River, to Scotia Bay, on the west shore of Atlin Lake. That 2.5-mile stretch of railway had the distinction of being the shortest railroad in Canada.
Engine 51 has been a part of the MacBride museum collection for a long time now and is currently residing beside the Yukon River while the MacBride undergoes a long awaited expansion.
aka Pennsylvania 460, the only surviving example of the E6s Atlantic type (4-4-2) steam engines, the largest Atlantic's ever made. 10-15-17
All the pictures in this collection have been scanned by me they are not photographs that I have taken ,I got the original prints from an old guy who used to collect steam train magazines going back to the sixties, the pictures were taken at a time when most of the engines were still in use or had just been renovated for the first time after finishing on British rail,I have not got all the info on them yet but if anyone can help with the engine names that would be great, just thought it would be a pity for the pictures to be lost forever.

Model: BMW Formula 1 engine M12/13
Year: 1985 - 89
Engine: 4 cylinder Turbo Charged, 16 valves
Displacement: 1499cc
Bore and Stroke: 89.2 x 60 mm
Max Torgue: 450 N.m @ 8500 rpm
Power Output: (Brabham BMW BT52) 580 - 790 bhp for qualyfying, 530 - 700 bhp for racing, depending on boost pressure.
This 4-cylinder engine, based on used blocks from production models, was produced specifically for Formula 1 racing. It was first introduced by Paul Rosche, Head of Development, in 1981. During its first season it was capable of between 600 and 630 bhp, an output that by 1983 had increased to between 630 and 790 bhp at 11000 rpm (depending on boost pressure).
Three Grand Prix victories, including the Brazilian Grand Prix, in addition to numerous other top positions were enough to secure the World Championship title for Team Brabham BMW and Nelson Piquet in 1983. This was hte first World Championship to be won by a turbocharged engine.
In the years to follow, intensive development work on the engine electronics and turbochargers would eventually push the engine output up to some 1100 bhp at a boost pressure of 4.4 bar
