I was out looking for birds when this thing came rumbling out of the woods. I did not have a chance to change lenses, so this was caught with a 400mm F/5.6L from between 100 - 150m away.
While photographing the Jurassic coast in Dorset, I came across by chance this incredible steam railway. Remarkable and nostalgic it made a great subject to shoot.

I’ve been unable to find very much information on this interesting building. It is located at 2100 N. 2nd Street, in the near north-side of St. Louis, Missouri, and currently houses American Timber Salvage. That company is in the business of salvaging historic building wood materials for re-use, and is owned by Bruce Gerrie, who collaborated with artist Bob Cassilly to provide materials for the world famous City Museum. The City Museum, which is located in a converted shoe factory in downtown St. Louis, is built almost entirely with cast offs from demolitions. Mr. Gerrie is also the owner and curator of the St. Louis Architectural Museum, which is located inside of the City Museum.
Above the door of this structure can faintly be seen the words “Engine Co. 26.” As best as I’ve been able to determine, this was a former firehouse built in 1887. The old cobblestone street can still be seen leading up to the front door, which mostly likely saw horse-drawn fire engines in its early days. I have been unable to find any information indicating how long this building remained in operation as a fire house. Apparently, in the 1990’s the building was used by some artists (JD Street, Tom Seymour and "Evil" Ted Smith) who went on to some acclaim as special effects gurus in the film industry after moving to California.

This vintage F9 was sitting on a siding in Lapel, IN waiting for transport to Atlanta, IN for service as a Nickel Plate heritage train. It will be repainted in NKP colors.
Steam Engine 31806 operates from Norden to Swanage and back. No 31806 used to run down to Corfe Castle and Swanage during the British Railways days of the 1950s and is the quintessential Southern Railway branch line locomotive.
I like details and making things that either work or look like they could work. I make hatches, airlocks, folding landing gear, sliding cockpit canopies, cargo bays, loading ramps,and all kinds of things that open, but this is the first time I put a removable cowl on an engine. It won't be my last!

One of 4 purchased in 1975.
Cincinnati had a total of 13 of these fully enclosed engines which were purchased between 1972 and 1975. When this pumper was delivered, this was the second due engine where I was living. If I could only go back...
