Out for a bike ride into town today and manged to arrive just in time for one of Nene Valley Railways brilliant steam engines at Orton Mere. Pleased to see it smoking with a few suitably placed clouds in the background.
What a beautiful piece of machinery! All motorbike enthusiasts will recognise this as twin cylinder 998cc Vincent engine, probably dating from around the late 1940s. I spotted the bike in Looe, but it had a couple of seriously ugly metal pannier boxes on the back, so I decided not to photograph the whole of it. I suspect it could be a B series Rapide, dating from 1946 onwards. The HRD name was apparently dropped in 1950 to avoid confusion with the American Harley Davidson (HD).

Steam Engine 131.060. Type: 1C1 h2t. Manufacturer: Resita Rumania. Construction year: 1942. Factory number: 611. Track: 1435 mm. Steam locomotives were first developed in Great Britain during the early 19th century and dominated railway transport until the middle of the 20th century. From the early 1900s they were gradually superseded by electric and diesel locomotives, with full conversions to electric and diesel power beginning from the 1930s.
In Proctor, Minnesota. This engine is 127'*' long, requires 25,000 gallons of water, 26 tons of coal and when retired had driven 694,360 miles. Part of the Duluth Mining and Iron Range Railway.
I was messing around trying to build an engine to go into a new MOC for this months LUGNuts challenge, and I decided to pull out all my MOC engines to have a look at them together. All in all they're pretty much similar, yet all done differently. I sure like that jet blade piece! None of them are based on anything real, some of them have their exhaust pipes removed, and two of them haven't been used yet.

Located on display in Brownwood Texas I believe this is a Baldwin 2-6-2 and it is from the AT&SF line. I was so lucky to catch it in such beautiful sunlight!
Quick little engine that I made, more of a test for rendering. Blu render annoyingly zooms out on renders, so I have the resize the POV-Ray to fit. So I made the POV-Ray smaller (finally) and it's a little easier. Doesn't copy it centrally onto the image, so I still have to move it into place.
Something pretty cool is coming from me...
I keep looking at this image and i'm thinking its not the best, after all it was at a beer festival, its a little out of focus, so I may of been a little shaky.
This old steam engine lives in a small park north of Seattle. In the summer you will see young chidlren climbing all over it.
The distinctive sound of a Napier Deltic engine could be heard as 55019 Royal Highland Fusilier receives some attention at Loughborough, Great Central Railway, 12th March 2022.
Locomotive History
Royal Highland Fusilier was originally D9019 and entered service on the 29th December 1961, based at Haymarket MPD. Renumbered 55019 in November 1973, the locomotive was one of only five members of the class to undergo and extensive general overhaul, this being carried out during an eight month visit to Doncaster Works between January and September 1976. 55019 was withdrawn on December 31st 1981, after hauling the 16.30 Aberdeen-York between Edinburgh and York, this was the final BR Deltic hauled service train. It was therefore appropriate that the locomotive should be one of those saved from being broken up and also that it should become the first Deltic to operate a train in preservation, an event which took place at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway eight months after withdrawal, on August 22nd 1982. Royal Highland Fusilier is currently (March 2022) owned by the Deltic Preservation Society, is nominally based at Barrow Hill but is not main line certified.
