Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!

Intentional light leaks.

This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.

Class 5 5407 storms through Clapham towards Eldroth with the bottom leg of a Cumbrian Mountain Express in October 1983. At this time she was owned by Paddy Smith and was permanently based at Carnforth. In those days we would spend the morning at Carnforth sheds watching the two engines being prepared, even helped out with cleaning them on the odd occasion, have breakfast in the canteen before the engine on the S&C leg would leave light engine for Hellifield ( on this day I think it was 46229 , the Duchess ).
A shot would be obtained before Wennington were the train would stop and usually perform a couple of run pasts for the passengers allowing us to get ahead for a second bite. Then a leisurely drive up to the S&C to get the second engine climbing the long drag. Happy days indeed in my dad Freds Marina.
34 years on and we are still able to pursue our hobby and 5407 is still pleasing the punters under the ownership of Ian Riley. Who'd have thought .

Backstory: As the final of the synthetic lifeforms created to contact the Mask of Life, Unit-10 was considered to be a failure. Initial tests of Project: Eidolon's Ghost Engine concluded it would be useless in acquiring the mask, and Eidolon's memories were wiped. Eidolon awoke only to find it lacked memory or purpose. Eidolon attempted to escape his creators but was brought down by his sister unit, Avalon. Following Diaa's reactivation of Avalon and Echelon, Eidolon fled into the wilderness of Okoto. Eidolon now roams the world seeking meaning. He has found an unlikely ally in the Valkyrie, Irei.
Powers and Abilities:
Eidolon carries the experimental Ghost Engine, a dimension canceling device. The engine allows him to "ghost" an object by temporarily suppressing its physical form. Practically, this allows Eidolon to phase through walls, pierce defenses such as armor and shields, or make an objects intangible. Like his siblings, Eidolon possesses impressive combat algorithms, though his were partially corrupted when his memory was wiped.
Tools:
Eidolon wields the spear Alceste, an elegant weapon salvaged from an ancient ruin. For ranged combat, Eidolon carries a plasma rifle.

In theory I don't usually bother with light engine moves but never came across a 92 on HS1 during my previous visits so I thought it was worth a go. I didn't realise at the time that the following Monday was the last day of freight on HS1 with the recent contract with presuming Transfesa coming to an end. So the chances of a DB 92 north of Dollands Moor now are really slim. So for the record which I'm glad I made the effort now, sees 92029 working the 0L22 1606 Dollands Moor sidings - Ripple Lane sidings. Funny enough the 92 ended up failing at Singlewell loop, meaning the southbound freight didn't run that evening. Shame they don't seem to be any hope of further freight traffic along here. 19/7/24.
Ironmaking blast furnaces require large amounts of air to be blown into the bottom of the furnace to intensify the combustion, the same way a blacksmiths forge needs air blown into it to make it hotter. That air blast, probably 40,000 CFM at around 25 psi, was provided originally by blowing engines. These were injected with natural gas and the large flywheels supplied kinetic energy. These were also used to generate electricity. These engines were in constant operation for almost 100 years except for when they were shut down for routine maintenance. If anyone has more information on these engines, I would be happy to hear from you. For a sense of the size of these engines, check out the stairs along the right side.
Today, I am told, steel mills use turbo blowers that are much smaller and operate much like jet engines. These are piston engines that operate like the compressor in your garage, on a much larger scale of course.

I couldn't resist to "shoot" her at a public parking lot ☺☺!
Special:
- In French "DS" is called as "déesse" which means "goddess". This is also the pet name: "goddess of the way".
- The technique of DS is developed under the leadership of André Lefebvre.
- For that time very spectacular carriage design was from the Italian chief designer of Citroën, Flaminio Bertoni, who also modeled the Traction Avant, the Deux Chevaux and the Ami.
- It has a four-speed manual gearbox, a Weber carburettor, a 63 liter fuel tank and front wheel drive.
- The DS featured intense roadholding, braking and handling, and hydropneumatic self-leving suspension system.
- This model year (1966) still has the "double" headlights. 1968 was the first year of aerodynamic glass enclosing the headlamps on the DS also the first year that feature was outlawed in the US.
- While the DS was popular in Europe, it didn't sell well in the United States. Only about 38,000 were sold between 1956 and 1972. It did't have the basic features that American buyers expected to find on such a vehicle: fully automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows, and a powerful engine.
The past two years, I’ve updated the designs of a lot of my Lego fire trucks. Here is the redesigned Brush 1. In the background is Engine 3 with a new pump panel (inspired by Castle Beach Lego Fire) and my fire excavator. The fire apparatus are inspired by Pierce Manufacturing and similar in design to apparatus with LAFD, Cal Fire, and the San Diego Fire Department. Unless otherwise noted, the designs are original work.
I have near on 60 shots to process but have no time at the moment, I felt the need to upload something and found this one of an old tractor engine gathering dust on the hard drive.
Given the HDR treatment
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated
I stayed in Liskeard on Wednesday evening so decided to venture out to a spot close to where I grew up the following morning. This is the ruins of an old engine house on Bodmin Moor, close to Minions and the Cheesewring. Just when I thought it was in danger of being a wasted journey the sun came out and provided some nice light. This was taken just as the sun popped up above the horizon.
Thanks to Richie for reminding me of this spot with his atmospheric mono image of the same location a few days ago.
I appreciate any constructive comments to help me improve.
After 17 years and 9 months, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 020 finally runs on the mainline once again under her own power.
Undertaking a short initial test run for her first outing since April 2001, 020 was accompanied by sister locomotive, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division", which had been at Crewe ETD for repairs and was acting as the 'insurance' locomotive.
Running as 0Z92, the pair of GB engines left the DB Cargo depot - the Class 92s' original "home" - with the (GB) driver sounding 020's horn to mark the occasion as they rounded the curve towards the north end of Crewe station.
92020 and 92032 then had brief spell in the UDL at the station, before 032 took the pair back to the ETD.
To add to the uniqueness of the occasion both 92s had their pans up during the test run.
