This is one of three Postcards I have of English private railways steam engines. I'm not up with postcards and the coding or numbering systems, but from info I have read on the net, Colourmaster International has gone out of business.

I will add more info later. I have decided to geotag this photo as being in London, UK.
So last weekend was fun since my new parts finally arrived. Now rocking the one-piece Steeda Strut Tower Bar (designed for a Ford Fusion) and a custom Optima 34R billet aluminum battery tray. Definitely gives the engine bay a bit of flare without being over the top.
Shot around 6:30pm on Halloween. Used LR3 to correct the wb/noise then opened in Photoshop CS5 to sharpen it up a bit.

Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Verloce
year of production: 1968
cylinder: 4
cubic capacity: 1779 cc
power: 118 PS
The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were a range of cars manufactured from 1963 until 1977.
They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used a shortened floorpan from the Giulia Berlina car.
These appealing cars were made in a wide variety of models over a period of 13 years, so they provide a lot of material for study by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
The basic body shape shared by all models was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone, and borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were groundbreaking styling features for the era.
All models feature the four cylinder, all-light-alloy Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine in various cubic capacities from 1290 cc to 1962 cc. All versions of this engine fitted to the 105 series coupes featured twin carburettors. Competition models featured cylinder heads with twin spark plugs. Common to all models was also a 5-speed manual transmission and disc brakes on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. Air conditioning and a limited slip rear differential were optional on the later models. The 105 series coupés featured the GT (Gran Turismo) model description, which was common to all models in one form or another.
The various different models in this range can be considered in two broad categories:
On one hand were the various Gran Turismos and Gran Turismo Veloces. These were meant to be the most sporting cars in the Alfa Romeo range and sold very well to enthusiastic motorists around the world. The first model available was the Giulia Sprint GT (1963) which evolved into the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (1965), the 1750 GTV (1968) and the 2000 GTV (1972–1976), with engines increasing in cubic capacity from 1570 cc (Giulia Sprint GT/GTV) through 1779 cc (1750 GTV) to 1962 cc (2000 GTV).
On the other hand was the GT Junior range, which featured engines with smaller cubic capacities. GT Juniors sold in great numbers to people who wanted a sporting, stylish car that handled well, but either did not require the maximum in engine power, or could not afford the taxation on larger engine capacities in some markets - most notably, Alfa Romeo's home Italian market.
Junior models began with the first GT 1300 Junior in 1966. The GT 1300 Junior continued until 1976 with the 1290 cc engine and various modifications incorporating features from the evolution of the GT's and GTV's. From 1972 a GT 1600 Junior model was also available, with the 1570 cc engine.
Both categories were used to derive GTA ("Allegerita") models, which were specifically intended for competition homologation in their respective engine size classes. The GTA's featured extensive modifications for racing, so they were priced much higher than the standard models and sold in much smaller numbers. Practically all GTA's made were used in competition, where they had a long and successful history in various classes and category. These models included the Giulia Sprint GTA and GTA 1300 Junior.
The 2000 GTV (Tipo: 105.21) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider “Fastback” (Series 2). The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm.The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars.
Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features:
Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline; Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts; Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet; The larger rear light clusters first fitted to United States market 1750 GTV's were standard for all markets on the 2000 GTV.
The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well when the 105 Series coupe models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models.37,459 2000 GTVs were made before production ended.

War Department "Austerity" 2-8-0, WD No. 79257 is a preserved British steam locomotive. It is the only survivor of its type.
Originally built by the Vulcan Foundry in 1944, works No. 25428, it was given the WD No. 79257. During the liberation of Europe, it was transferred to Mainland Europe with the British Army. After the war, it was sold to Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS, Dutch Railways), where it became part of the NS 4300II Class, No. 4383. NS in turn sold it, along with another classmate to Statens Järnvägar (SJ, Swedish State Railways), where it became SJ Class G11 No. 1931. SJ made extensive modernisation to the locomotive.
No. 1931 was saved from scrap by Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and ran in SJ condition for several years. Extensive restoration work, began in 1993 has restored 79257 to more or less original condition, as "British Railways No. 90733", one higher than the last BR ex-WD Austerity 2-8-0, 90732 Vulcan.

The English called station wagons "shooting brakes" or "estates". This Rolls-Royce example seems to have lost its way in the desert southwest.

Y class shunting engine Y127 is on the Shell Oil Pilot, Corio, Geelong in about 1978, not sure if there is even sidings into here, over 33 years since I went into there.
Here is a link to the Signal diagram from Little River to North Shore which also shows the local sidings in this area, Shell, Corio Whiskey, and Phosphate Co Sidings. ... ... ... www.signaldiagramsandphotos.com/mywebpages/vr/Western_and...
