Who remembers 'Ivor the Engine' complete with daffodils painted on the battery box. This loco was formerly 08 600 and got transferred into departmental stock in 05/1979 becoming 97 800. It was used at Slade Green heavy repair shops (a surprising choice considering it didn't have high level brake hoses as seen on the loco to its right). It remained at Slade Green until being transferred to Chart Leacon Depot in 12/89 where it regained its former identity of 08 600. A further move to Selhurst came in 05/92 followed by Eastleigh in 09/92 before ending up at Stratford in 06/96. The loco was then hired to A.V. Dawsons Ltd, Middlesborough in 11/97 and ended its mainline career being sold by EWS to A.V. Dawson's in 07/99 where it remains to this day in use shunting there warehouse sidings. The above picture was taken at Ashford Chart Leacon where it had been moved from Slade Green for a weekend open day.
I discovered this spanking new mid-engine Corvette in my church parking lot on December 8, 2019 as I was arriving for the service. The car is undergoing testing by a GM employee.

Developed under the project name Apex by the Rootes Group to take on the BMC Mini, though the Imp arrived 4 years later than the Mini. Powered by an all aluminium 875cc rear mounted engine . With version badge engineered as Singer and Sunbeam.
Rootes had been given a Government grant for a new assembly plant and a stake in a brand new Pressed Steel plant to be built in Linwood, Glasgow then an employment black spot. But production was beset with stoppages and costs incurred in producing the engine casting at Linwood then transporting them to Ryton, Coventry to be machined and assembled before transporting back to Linwood for to be put in the cars, a return journey of 600 miles. Despite these problems the Imp did prove popular, though not as much as the Mini and the extra cost made them barely profitable
The Imp was an innovative car, and was the first mass-produced car with the engine block and cylinder head cast in aluminium. it used a space-saving rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout to allow as much luggage and passenger capacity as possible and a unique opening rear hatch to allow luggage to be put into the back seat rest. it was one of the earliest mass produced British cars to have an engine in the back and the first car to use a diaphragm spring clutch. The unorthodox small/light car was designed for the Rootes Group by Formula One driver Michael Parkes and Tim Fry. and gained a reputation as a successful rally car when Rosemary Smith won the Tulip Rally in 1965. This led the Rootes Group to produce a special rally conversion of the Imp under both the Hillman and Singer marques known as the Imp Rallye. The Imp was also successful in touring car racing when Bill McGovern won the British Saloon Car Championship in 1970, 1971 and 1972.
The Imp continued in production following the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group in 1967 until 1976 selling just under half a million units in 13 years.

Just as we get under some shelter the tour train comes into Silver Plume, it's raining so we're waiting for the rain to move on - Tresa & I had a Honda Shadow, Dan has a can-am.
This is the electric engine in one of Lothian Buses new Wrightbus Street Air. There is a big pod on the roof that houses a large number of batteries/cells to power this power pack and give 130 miles of use before charging is required.
It was on display at the 2017 open doors day.
The Colorado Railroad Museum's collection of steam engines features a nice selection of railroad treasures. Many of the engines run and there is an incredible shop and roundhouse at the museum as well.

BR Standard class 4 4-6-0's 75019 and 75027, having powered the Carnforth-Skipton portion of the 28 July 1968 rail tour, back away from Skipton station past the engine shed. They are signalled to take the main line towards Hellifield, and will no doubt be headed back to their home shed at Carnforth. Of the two engines, 75027 survived into preservation but 75019 was scrapped soon after the end of BR steam the following month.

Story time!
2 days ago I sat down and decided to rebuild 135 without any computer assistance, to get back to my roots...and this is what I came up with, a 2022 E-One Typhoon with my favorite engine spec to date. Also tried out a new house bed design courtesy of Castle Beach Fire and I love it.
Lighting includes 2 Evan Designs Leds in the front, one of my Rogue Series 6 lightbars up top, 4 Luna Split Lights on the body and my newest Rogue Traffic Advisor in the rear. The roof pattern is inspired by pattern 12 on the FedSig Allegiant.
All controlled by my custom Pro Controller, and with cycleable TA patterns.

On display at Kenefick Park, Omaha NE. The Union Pacific is restoring one of these engines to add to its heritage fleet. When done (as early as 2017), the U.P. will have three operational steam engines (two of them articulated), complementing the 844 and the 3985.
I received a gift certificate for a helicopter tour of San Francisco last year. While waiting for our helicopter, my friend Macneil and I shot whatever was interesting in and around the heliport in Marin City, just north of Sausalito. This single engine seaplane was parked facing the setting sun, revealing nice details of it's new radial engine. Three handheld bracketed captures were tonemapped in Photomatix Pro 4.1 and processed in Photoshop using Nik Software and Topaz Labs plug-ins.
