An old propeller shaft works great as a decoration in a marina for restoration of old wooden boats.

Again a little excursion.
This time just me and my bike. It goes beyond Benrath Castle to a spot on the Rhine, I still don't know.

Eingebaut im Stahlwerk.
Installed in a Steelwork.
This was made in the 1960s, as part of the Triang Hornby 'Battle Space' range of models.
It's an unusual model train item, as it is a stand alone vehicle that can't be joined to anything else. The motor also powers the propeller at the back, not the wheels.
It's also a health & safety nightmare for smaller children! This thing can fly round the track and anyone at ground level taking a look it is liable to get a poke in the eye. A spinning propeller at the back is also not great for little fingers.
Having said that, it's a real curiosity and boxed ones are becoming quite rare.
"A propeller is a device with a rotating hub and radiating blades that are set at a pitch to form a helical spiral, that, when rotated, ... transforms rotational power into linear thrust" (Wikipedia).
Ignore the Exif data. This image was taken with the 35mm Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F0.95.

Die Königin-Emma-Brücke (niederländisch Koningin Emmabrug) oder „Pontjesbrug“ ist eine charakteristische Pontonbrücke im Zentrum von Willemstad auf Curaçao. Sie treibt auf der „Sint Annabaai“ und verbindet die Stadtteile Punda und Otrabanda. Die Brücke ist keine feste Uferverbindung, sondern sie kann von Otrabanda aus an das Ufer gedreht werden, um die Durchfahrt zwischen der Karibik und der St-Anna-Bucht zu ermöglichen. Diese Konstruktion ist einzigartig in der Welt. Daher kommt auch der Spitzname Swinging Old Lady (‚Drehende alte Dame‘). Sie wurde 1888 erbaut und nach der niederländischen Königin Emma benannt (Wikipedia).
The Queen Emma Bridge (Dutch: Koningin Emmabrug; nickname Swinging Old Lady) is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of oceangoing vessels. On the opposite end from the hinge is a small shelter where an operator controls two diesel engines turning propellers. The propellers are mounted perpendicular to the length of the bridge and allow it to swing parallel to the shore. The process only takes a few minutes to complete. The bridge was built in 1888 (Wikipedia).

Looking straight up into the clouds of Cygnus-X. 6 hours SHO from Oria in Spain using TelescopeLive and the SPA-3 telescope. In the upper middle the Propeller nebula DWB111/119. Strange object that we know very little about. Distance about 4,600 light years taking a guess based on the distance to the Cygnus environment.
