00 Acre vegetation fire driven with strong winds two miles before being stopped. (Valley IC ) Avenue I and 60th Street West Lancaster, CA
We've been shooting this car in pieces for a car magazine. Yesterday we went in to shoot underneath the hood and got some shots of the trunk too.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful and incredibly detailed cars I've seen and have been able to appreciate in person. And dude doesn't keep it in his shop just for show, he actually drives it and enjoys his work!
I have no clue about the ins and outs of cars, but I know good work when I see it, and can completely appreciate when someone puts their effort and heart in to something they're passionate about.
Not happy about the reflections I caught here. I kept trying to avoid it, but totally didn't realize it on this one until I started working on it.
Happy {Sliders} Sunday, everyone!!
We're off to see more cars and enjoy the day at the Hard Rock Casino.
A pair of tank engines sit idle in storage on the Little River Railroad in Coldwater, Michigan. (Scanned from a slide)
Looking at the engines from the forward section of the plane. These are the two of the Boeing 747-400's GE CF6-80C2 engines. Each of these engines has as much as 60,000 pounds of thrust. As an additional information, the Boeing 747-400 takes off at speeds of almost 300km/h, cruises at approximately 900 km/h and lands at 260 km/h.
Inspite of Leyland's much vaunted publicity at the launch of their 'new' Atlantean, we at RBW couldn't match their (was it?) 45 minutes for a power pack removal! Unfortunately decades of rusting nuts and bolts weren't factored into the hype but by lunch time the lump was ours.
For some time now, our club's 1959 PDR1 has had something of a banging from the engine caused by a baggy piston so the time has come to do something about it before it gets any worse. From experience, it's easier to remove the subframe with gearbox and radiator in one than it is to separate the engine with the rest in situ.
Now with a clear view of what's left behind, we find almost every one of the components which make up the exhaust system to be in need of repair or replacement and there's some body frame rot too which will require attention... newt's ever straightforward!

On Back: I (Gene C. Goodwin ) rode in this engine several times between Drummond and Spooner ( I think In Wisconsin ) between 1937 and 1941.
Engine room of a 100+ year steam ship
On Oct. 9, this 111 year old freight ship, last known as the JB Ford, was towed from Connor's point in Superior, WI across the harbor to it's final resting place at the scrapyard that will soon be dismantling it and selling off it's steel. The long effort to save this greatly historic steam ship finally failed when the cost of dealing with the asbestos insulation was realized. Restoring and converting the ship into a museum was said to cost $2-3 million, yet only $50,000 in donations and $500,000 from the current owner had been put up to save it.
This ship served under it's own power for 81 years, hauled raw materials during both World Wars, survived two historic storms, and later on hauled cement that went into creating the US interstate system.

The engine telegraph of the steam-icebreaker Stettin.
The icebreaker Stettin has been built in in 1933. Even though diesel engines where already common in the 1930s, the Stettin has been equipped with a three-cylinder 2200 hp steam engine. The reason for that was, that at that time, steam engines could rather fast be reversed in contrast to diesel engines. This has been a striking advantage when breaking thick ice floes and when releasing ships which got stuck. The Stettin is able to break ice with a thickness of about 0.5m with a constant speed of 1 to 2 knots. The Stettin has mainly be operated onOder River between Stettin and Swinemünde as well as in the Baltic Sea.
Today, the Stettin is still operational, and is based in the museum harbor Övelgönne in Hamburg.
It's April 11 1967 at Blisworth Mines, Northamptonshire, and the engines in steam are "Ettrick" and "Siemens." I think "Ettrick", seen here, was a Hawthorn Leslie product built in 1928. As my copies of Tonks's "Ironstone Railways" books are in the UK and I am in California, I have no idea what happened to her when the quarry closed in September 1967. She had been given a quick coat of pale cheap blue paint over her previous handsome green in 1965. It did nothing for her looks, but "Ettrick" was always my favorite of the Blisworth stud. I've no idea about her name, except that there is a place on the Scottish borders named Ettrick. Copyright John Evans - no unauthorised copying or use.
