Ce lionceau n'a que quelques jours. Pour lui, les dangers sont partout. Bien sûr, les hyènes pullulent dans la savane, mais aussi les babouins, les serpents et autres maléfices. Pour veiller sur lui au plus près lors des déplacements, sa mère le transporte dans sa gueule protectrice.
This is a Gauge 1 0-6-0T from Aster, in 1:32 scale. I think they made 200 of these live steam models. This model uses alcohol for fuel and has slip eccentrics.

Tiny initials in the corner of a car headlight. Living in Munich there is plenty of that brand of transportation parked in any street.

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft.
The versatile airframe has found uses in other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. More than 40 variants of the Hercules, including civilian versions marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations.
The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in 1956, followed by Australia and many other nations. During its years of service, the Hercules has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. In 2007, the transport became the fifth aircraft to mark 50 years of continuous service with its original primary customer, which for the C-130 is the United States Air Force. The C-130 is the longest continuously produced military aircraft at more than 60 years, with the updated Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules being produced as of 2023.
C-130H Identical to the Echo variant but with more powerful Allison T56-A-15 turboprop engines. Introduced in Jun. 1974 with 308 ordered.
Böhmerland, 1927
Die Böhmerland zeichnete sich vor allem durch ihre dreisitzige Bank und die Motorplatzierung vor dem Fahrer aus, was ihr zu der enormen Länge verhalf.
Böhmerland, or Čechie as it was known domestically, was a Czechoslovak motorcycle manufacturer from 1924 until World War II. The Böhmerland was produced in several wheelbases; a two-seat Sport, a 3-seat Touren, and a 4-seat Langtouren. An experimental machine built for the military seated four soldiers, and used two gearboxes, with the rear operated by a passenger, giving 9 ratios.
Antsira (Madagascar) - Pour transporter le sel récolté dans les salines d’Antsira, on va à l’essentiel. Un tracteur constitué d’un châssis, d’un moteur, d’un siège, et d’un volant, le tout reposant sur quatre roues ; et c’est tout. On ne s’embarrasse pas avec le superflu. Selon le chauffeur qui est aussi le chef d’équipe, le sel étant corrosif, les éléments de carrosserie sont vite attaqués. Il en est de même pour le châssis et le moteur, « mais là , on ne peut pas s’en passer » indique-t-il. Les pièces sont changées au fur et à mesure qu’elles s’oxydent sous les effets conjuguées du sel, de l’eau et de l’air.
Salt transport
Antsira (Madagascar) - To transport the salt harvested in the saltworks of Antsira, we go to the essentials. A tractor made up of a chassis, an engine, a seat, and a steering wheel, all resting on four wheels; and that's all. We don't bother with the superfluous. According to the driver, who is also the team leader, the salt being corrosive, the bodywork elements are quickly attacked. The same goes for the chassis and the engine, "but there, you can't do without them," he says. Parts are changed as they oxidize under the combined effects of salt, water and air.
