French enterprise Amilcar was a car ma- nufacturer, in business from 1921 to 1940.
This sports car was the best known model, nicknamed the Poor Man's Bugatti. A total of 4700 cars were manufactured.
The car features all 4 wheel mechanical brakes. The sports roadster's lightweight body is made of aluminium tin.
In the late 1920s, Latvian racer and yachtsman Jevgēņijs Kanskis was working at the Amilcar plant in France; there he purchased this automobile.
In 1935, J. Kanskis participated with this car in the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally and won the Tallinn-Riga stage. Later he turned to sailing and sold his car.
In the Motor Museum since 1989.
In 1977, this automobile was found in Tūja by AAC member A. Leibovics. The vehicle had lost its visual appearance and was rebuilt as a small truck. Over the course of several years, consulting with J. Kanskis, A. Leibovics restored the car.
Engine: 4 cylinders, 30 HP, 1073 cm³
Net weight: 535 kg
Top speed: 120 km/h

Like we didn't already know that. Made at different times, without us consulting each other.

DGS 95625 Hamburg Süd - Bremen-Grolland
Am 8. August 2019 ging es auf dem Weg zur Spätschicht am Rbf Hamburg Süd vorbei. Dabei erblickten meine Augen etwas blaues. Die neue DE18 in den Hausfarben von BRLL. Die blaue Lok mit den goldenen Zierstreifen fährt aktuell für LOCON als 322 durch die Lande. Im obigen Bild wird gerade die Bremsprobe in der Ausfahrtgruppe von AHBS vollzogen. Ich musste ein paar Minuten warten bis ich zu meinem Bild kam. Die Wolken hatten es sich gerade so richtig gemütlich vor der Sonne gemacht. Der Rangierbahnhof bzw. die Ausfahrtgruppe war schön leer und es störten keine abgestellten Wagen im Bild. Ich habe dann überlegt, ob ich noch in Richtung Rollbahn für ein zweites Foto fahren sollte. Aber südlich von Hamburg waren noch mehr dickere Wolken am Himmel bzw. auf dem Wolkenradar unterwegs, so dass ich lieber noch ein wenig durch den Hafen fuhr, aber nichts mehr wirklich brauchbares erlegen konnte...

Martin traveled to the Captain's house in hopes that he might have some work for him. But what kind of work will he get?
I'm lucky that smarter builders than I have already solved some of these tricky problems with similar (and in one case identical) prototypes. What you see here are Andrew Harvey's splendid A1 Peppercorn pacific (Tornado in its grey primer) and Carl Greatrix's sublime LNER A4 Gresley pacific. Each of these models were scaled and mapped as best as possible to my stud scale for comparison purposes.
Observations:
1) The tenders for both locomotives are quite similar and superbly rendered by both Andrew and Carl--almost dead accurate to scale.
2) Spacing the main drivers to 5s spacing forces a compression in the overall length of the locomotive to maintain proportions. Despite compression, both locomotives still look spot on.
I'm worried that adherence to scale and therefore adopting 6s spacing on the XL drivers will not "look right"? I'm lucky that they are black wheels against black frames--this helps "disguise" the undersize nature of the drivers. I'd love to see a pacific wheel arrangement with BBB XL drivers with 6s driver spacing--I'm guessing it would still look ok?

A lady participating, was kind enough to explain to me, though I may have garbled some details:
To the left of the picture is what she called a stick, that is rattled after you pose a question, and this then tells you which drawer to take your answer from. The lady on the right is just getting hers.
After reading the answer, the answer is either tied to a wire frame (picture here) or burned (picture here).
