To all of my Flickr friends, I'm on the road for a few days and without regular internet access. I will try to catch up with my comments in a day or two. Thank you so much for your visits!
Salendo a Superga, Torino
La ferrovia a cremagliera è un sistema di trazione ferroviaria impiegato quando la pendenza del binario supera la capacità di aderenza naturale dei mezzi destinati a trainare i treni - locomotive ovvero si renda necessario per garantirne o migliorare la frenatura (da wikipedia)
Going up to Superga, Turin
The cog railway is a railway traction system used when the slope of the track exceeds the capacity of adhesion of natural resources used to tow the trains - locomotives - that is necessary to ensure or improve braking.
Cogs on a wall .. these are just not any old cogs but the wooden masters or patterns as they are referred to in casting or foundry work . Yes what you see are all made from wood , the first in the process of making the same in metal is to make one in wood , a pattern , a male , then a female is constructed as a mould , to pour the molten metal into to create the finished product , a metal cog for a machine in industry .
This is the traditional way , now a days these items are Printed , built up with minuscule layers of wax in the CAD process . Computer Aided Design .. the creation process , changes in time .

A wet and muddy morning and a few mills. An early start with a short drive to explore with Martyn, Camerashy - uk and MkWil.
Tone Mills is a complete water-powered cloth finishing works, established by the Fox Brothers and Co at the confluence of the River Tone and the Back Stream and dates from 1830. The remains of the water wheel remain in-situ and so too do all the line shafting and gearing. The Mill later had an electric motor installed to supplement the water-wheel during times of drought, although the water wheel continued to be used for many decades after. Put simply the mill comprises of a number of key areas to accommodate the various stages of production: A Fulling area, where wet cloth was dried, scoured, cleaned and milled to the desired finish. A dying room, adjacent to the fulling area which specialised in producing an indigo colouring. Reservoirs and Sluice gates, to manage the flow of water into the wheel chamber. The wheel chamber and a later power house.
The associated machinery for all the stages of production are all in-situ, making it an industrial archaeologists paradise.
The works finally closed in 2000 and production was moved to a more contemporary location. The buildings and machinery are Grade II* listed.

Since my last visit, the Cog Railroad has been completely rebuilt. New trains were purchased and the older models were rebuilt. The station areas at each end were also rebuilt. #18 on the left is an older model while #28 on the right is one of the new trains.
This started as a photo of several cogs hung on a wall and morphed into this sort of industrial photo art.

Simmering-Graz-Pauker EMU 67 is seen departing Városmajor on the Budapest Cog-wheel Railway (aka tram line 60).
I took this telephoto shot of the cog train near the top of Mt Washington. I didn't ride the train cos we wanted to save some time to travel to Montreal. Bet the scenery was gorgeous on the way up.

This was shot at a boatbuilders yard. This cog is about 7 feet in diameter. It seems that pretty much anything to do with boats, fishing, the sea / water provide so many photographic opportunities.
