8w, ~1/40, 100% Lego, all stickers uncut. Light & Sound equipment included (see video).
Now that there's an 8w bus, and now that we have all those great new parts (especially those nice quarter tiles), and since a proper Lego city needs a proper fire department I thought it might be a good idea to reactivate the old 2011 pumper model (my second ever minifig scale build). At last, hardly any part remained untouched, and maybe it would have been easier to build a new model from scratch - however it was important for me that I didn't have to scrap the old model but rather alter it.
I was especially pleased that I was able to use some stickers from set 60061 (Airport Fire Truck) which wasn't intended at the beginning. But with that FDNY style striping yellow became a part of the color design of the model, thus the stickers fit in nicely - otherwise it might look odd to have yellow numbers on a rather red and white fire truck.
Although not motorized the pumper does have some special features which will be shown later in a video.
Thanks for looking!
It's the middle of February, 1979, one of the worst winters Chicago had ever experienced. I'm in the gritty East Side of Chicago, the skies are a dull gray, it's cold, and my camera is loaded with that rotten Ektachrome 400. But nothing is going to stop me from shooting a copy of my favorite EMD switcher, the SW1. At least, the engineer is giving me a nice wave as the Chicago, West Pullman, & Southern 39 crosses the street near the engine terminal.
Follows another theme, motor cycle oriented. Used to ride, very strictly amateur, non technical, just for the fun and freedom it gave.

The three main engines of the Space Shuttle orbiter Discovery (OV-103). National Air and Space Museum, Udvar-Hazy Center. Virginia
Developed in the 1970s by the Marshall Space Flight Center, the space shuttle main engine was the world's most sophisticated reusable rocket engine. After the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned, the main engines provided thrust which accelerated the shuttle from 3,000 mph to more than 17,000 mph in order to reach low earth orbit. The engines operated for 8 minutes and 40 seconds for each shuttle flight, with a combined output of 37 million horsepower, and a combined maximum thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.

One of the biggest changes into London Heathrow for the S18 schedule goes to Delta Air Lines, where previously Boeing 767-300ERs are the mainstay, and still are to this day but on a much reduced scale.
Since 25th March 2018, a large portion of Delta's flights into London Heathrow were converted over from Boeing 767-300ER to Airbus A330 operation, keeping Delta more in-line with Virgin Atlantic on-board offerings. Here are the flights that have seen Airbus A330s takeover Boeing 767-300ER operation.
-Atlanta: DL30/31 sees the use of Airbus A330-300s, whilst DL32/33 sees the use of Airbus A330-200s.
-Detroit: DL16/17 operates utilising Airbus A330-200s, expect on Friday (Saturday from London Heathrow) whereby Airbus A330-300s operate.
-New York-JFK: DL1/401 and DL2/402 operates with Airbus A330-200s, with Airbus A330-300s scheduled on the odd occasion.
Apart from the flights mentioned, Boeing 767-300ERs continues to operate year-round on their daily flight from Boston (DL58/59) and Minneapolis (DL10/11), whilst they will continue operate summer seasonal flight from Portland (DL36/37) and Salt Lake City (DL50/51).
Currently, Delta Air Lines operates a large Boeing 767 fleet with 79 in service, which includes 2 Boeing 767-300s, 56 Boeing 767-300ERs and 21 Boeing 767-400ERs. 2 Boeing 767-300s and 2 Boeing 767-300ERs are expected to be withdrawn during 2018.
November One Seven Six Delta November is one of 56 Boeing 767-300ERs in service with Delta, delivered new to the carrier in December 1990 and she is powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney PW4060 engines. She was originally on lease from Castlelake until May 2015 when she was fully acquired by Delta.

We're digging back into the archives almost ten years. It's the afternoon before we're to begin what would be an epic 10-day trip along the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern that would take us through six states.
And what better way to prime us for the long trip than to have a taste of blue and yellow on Chicago's south side? We're in Bedford Park watching the eastbound IC&E manifest freight rounding the sweeping curve at 65th and Harlem just before entering the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard.
In just under 12 hours, we'd leave Chicago's urban scene behind us as we headed through the cornfields in our trek toward the badlands of South Dakota.

Robey & Co Ltd was founded in 1854, by Robert Robey, as manufacturers of portable steam engines and thrashing machines. By 1862 they had expanded greatly and exhibited a display of agricultural equipment; "fixed engines, traction engines, ploughing tackle, corn mills, saw benches etc" at the Great Exhibition. Soon they extended the range to include a complete range of mining equipment from winding engines and pumping engines to locomotives, cages and kibbles (mine bucket).

This engine is one and a half feet long and may well be a running model but it wasn't running when I took this picture.
The Gas-up show is put on by people that devote their interest in antique engines and display their equipment at the show. Much of it is operational and as you see some of it is very photogenic.
Antique Engine Equipment Show - I have a lot of pictures of the same event in 2015. I didn't retake the same items this year so check out the album GAS-UP
Happy to be able to walk through all parts of the model of the Orient Express Train used for the 2017 film Murder on the Orient Express.
