Class V180 diesel-hydraulics in their former Deutsche Reichsbahn incarnation of the short specific period 1979-1980; 118 749-1 and 118 005-8 reposing in the roundhouse at Arnstadt on 4th February 2024. Built by LKM in 1968 and delivered new to Erfurt depot as V180 349, The V180.2 Class 118 749-1 is on loan from the DB Museum at Nuremburg. 118 005-8 is the oldest extant V180 class loco, built by LKM in 1963, initially working from Berlin-Karlshorst depot, between March 1963 and July 1970. Both DB Museum-owned locomotives are stored serviceable but currently do not have main line tickets. The livery variants are an interesting comparison.

Mill Network Kinderdijk NL
The Mill Network at Kinderdijk-Elshout is a group of buildings in an exceptional human-made landscape in which the centuries-long battle of the Dutch people to drain parts of their territory and protect them against further inundation is dramatically demonstrated through the survival of all the major elements of the complex system that was devised for this purpose.
Construction of hydraulic works for the drainage of land for agriculture and settlement began in the Middle Ages and has continued uninterruptedly to the present day. The property illustrates all the typical features associated with this technology: polders, high and low-lying drainage and transport channels for superfluous polder water, embankments and dikes, 19 drainage mills, 3 pumping stations, 2 discharge sluices and 2 Water Board Assembly Houses. The beautifully preserved mills can be divided into three categories: 8 round brick ground-sailers, 10 thatched octagonal smock mills, and one hollow post mill.
The installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area demonstrate admirably the outstanding contribution made by the people in Netherlands to the technology of handling water. The landscape is striking in its juxtaposition of its horizontal features, represented by the canals, the dikes, and the fields, with the vertical rhythms of the mill system. There is no drainage network of this kind or of comparable antiquity anywhere else in the Netherlands or in the world.
This is one of the rarest photographs I have taken. Class 43 Warship D844 'Spartan' at Derby.
Thanks to information provided some years ago now by Flickr member D864Zambesi.
D844 had worked a 1Z94 11:50 Plymouth to Derby Relief from Exeter, all the way through to Derby. It was a rather gloomy summers afternoon so lighting conditions were not great for my fixed lens camera. The locomotive was in a rather patchy maroon livery. The date of the photograph was 14th August 1970. The train later worked back I believe with a Derby to Bristol Temple Meads Relief Working.

The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger is a 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon. The gun is the primary weapon mounted on the United States Air Force's Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. The attack aircraft is known also as the "Tank Buster" or "Warthog" as it was designed to destroy a wide variety of ground targets. The Avenger delivers 30mm rounds at the high rate of fire at 3,900 rpm. The weight of the gun itself is 620lbs. The sound of discharging the weapon is very distinct and sounds like "BRRRRRRRRRT." This is the view of the Avenger mounted on the A-10c 7900087 after landing at the Hagerstown Aviation Museum upon its retirement from active duty.

This Pic is part of a collection from the 1960's & 1970's. They are all prints of various sizes with some colour and some black & white with almost half having written details on the rear.
The photographs were purchased as a set some time ago and after spending some time cleaning the images up I now feel it is time to show them and not let the collection just hide away.

Willesden and Stratford breakdown cranes on the East Coast mainline, removing old bridge girders over Turnpike Lane, near Hornsey, in February 1975, in preparation for electrification.
Nearest the camera, is the Willesden crane - RS1093/75, and beyond is the Stratford crane - DB966111.
RS1093/75 (ADRC96703) was built in 1962, and converted to diesel-hydraulic at BR Derby in 1976, and was scrapped in 1996
DB966111 (ADRC96701) was built in 1961, and converted to diesel-hydraulic in 1977, and was scrapped in 2008.
These steam-to-diesel-hydraulic conversions were unreliable at first, and many older steam cranes were retained in service.. The last BR steam crane operation was reported to be as late as 1989.

The Hurricane was designed by Holden, General Motors’ Australian division. It featured a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and stood just 39 inches tall. The car had a sleek, futuristic design with a hydraulically powered canopy that swung forward over the front wheels, allowing access to the interior. It was powered by a high compression 253 cubic inch (4.2 liter) Holden V8 engine producing 259 horsepower.
The Hurricane was packed with cutting-edge technology, including the automatic control of cabin temperature, one of the earliest uses of digital instrument displays, a rear-view camera connected to a CCTV screen in the center console, and an early navigation system using magnets embedded in the road to guide the driver, a precursor to GPS.
After being stored for many years, the Hurricane was fully restored by Holden in 2011 and displayed at the “Motorclassica” car show in Melbourne in October 2011. It was also featured at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia in 2013, where it garnered significant media attention.

This is what happens when hydraulic oil mixes with rainwater. Though environmentally unfriendly it sure looks beautiful.

The hydraulically-operated Swing Bridge is the fourth bridge in the same location in Newcastle, between the Tyne and High Level Bridges, and replaced an earlier Georgian structure. Its swing mechanism allows larger vessels access upriver — the biggest to use it has been the Fernmount (5,000 tonnes net) in 1952.
Designed by John Ure, with additional design input from contractor Sir W.G. Armstrong & Co., the road bridge has six spans, two of them over land. Arched iron girders form the land spans, while the two fixed river spans are formed from iron box girders with riveted stiffeners. The foundations are cast iron cylinders sunk into the bedrock and filled with concrete, which support the granite bridge piers.
The swinging portion covers the two central spans, with approximately 900 tonnes of the total 1,300 tonnes of moving parts being supported by an hydraulic press on the central pier. It rotates through 90 degrees, operated hydraulically by two electric pumps, which replaced the original steam pumps in 1959. The bowed profile consists of two main iron girders, and is 7.3m deep in the centre.
The bridge is 14.5m wide and 171m long overall, with the swing section 85.7m long. There is 4.4m clearance above high water level when the bridge is closed to shipping.
After preliminary dredging, work began on 23rd September 1868 and the bridge opened to road traffic on 15th June 1876, with the first swing opening for the Italian vessel Europa on 17th July. The bridge cost a total of £288,000.

Just a little visual flare I built for the Hawken Reaper. It's roughly inspired by the one you see in your garage in the game menu.

They were having test today and they've passed again safely too.
We use them to lift the locomotives off the wheels at our workshop at Gilfach ddu.

This hill was stripped bare by water blasted under high pressure by hydraulic water cannons. The water was used to dislodge rocks and gravel that could then be directed through sluice boxes to separate the gold. The technique was fast and effective, but caused extensive damage to the area being worked, and to downstream areas that were inundated by sediment. Hydraulic mining was outlawed in California in 1884 because of the devastating damage.
This tower was built in 1863 and provided power for the movement of lock gates and bridges at Birkenhead Docks.
The 110ft tower and building sustained considerable damage from bombing during the Second World War and was repaired in a functional, rather than architectural style. The building is now disused and in a dilapidated condition.
In March 2008, a planning application was submitted for a £12 million restoration and redevelopment of the building by Peel Holdings to be converted into a bar and restaurant. A ninety-two bed hotel complex is planned to be constructed immediately adjacent to it. It's still waiting....

Delivering wood chips. The trailer is vertical as that entire ramp hydraulically dumps the load. Some drivers let the ramp tip the entire truck as well. We don't need no stinkin' dump truck.
Oh, and if you think you can back up a big rig, take a look at the clearance between the front tires on that ramp. We're talking a couple of inches at best.
