I went to wings and steam event at rougham airfield a few years ago and photographed some of the engines there was so much smoke from these old engines that the photographs were not up to much but as I have said in the past I am useless at photoshop but I did buy a version of light room and have had the time to watch some videos on utube on how to use it so with taking some notes I have been using it for a week now and I am thrilled how it has transformed many of my old shots and made them useable its not so good at the wildlife shots but its brilliant in other areas

Back at the height of the BMX craze in the UK in 1985 an inventor who lived down the road from us came up with a small petrol engine that you bolted onto a standard BMX. It had a twist grip on the handlebars and the engine turned a small roller that was in contact with the rear tyre.
In the summer of '85 he asked some of the local kids to help him display some bikes fitted with engines at a summer fair at Epsom's Hook Road Arena.
Here's me grabbing some air (on my first BMX, an old Huffy), propelled by an engine! It was great fun that day but we never got to use the engines again.
The inventor was famous locally for making power chariots- petrol engine powered Roman style chariots, which used to race at various school and other local fairs. You can see part of the track behind me in this photo.
Update:
It worked a lot better than this effort. This looks better though, shame you can't see how they've hooked it up. This works well.

Inspite of Leyland's much vaunted publicity at the launch of their 'new' Atlantean, we at RBW couldn't match their (was it?) 45 minutes for a power pack removal! Unfortunately decades of rusting nuts and bolts weren't factored into the hype but by lunch time the lump was ours.
For some time now, our club's 1959 PDR1 has had something of a banging from the engine caused by a baggy piston so the time has come to do something about it before it gets any worse. From experience, it's easier to remove the subframe with gearbox and radiator in one than it is to separate the engine with the rest in situ.
Now with a clear view of what's left behind, we find almost every one of the components which make up the exhaust system to be in need of repair or replacement and there's some body frame rot too which will require attention... newt's ever straightforward!
Looking at the engines from the forward section of the plane. These are the two of the Boeing 747-400's GE CF6-80C2 engines. Each of these engines has as much as 60,000 pounds of thrust. As an additional information, the Boeing 747-400 takes off at speeds of almost 300km/h, cruises at approximately 900 km/h and lands at 260 km/h.
Engine room of a 100+ year steam ship
On Oct. 9, this 111 year old freight ship, last known as the JB Ford, was towed from Connor's point in Superior, WI across the harbor to it's final resting place at the scrapyard that will soon be dismantling it and selling off it's steel. The long effort to save this greatly historic steam ship finally failed when the cost of dealing with the asbestos insulation was realized. Restoring and converting the ship into a museum was said to cost $2-3 million, yet only $50,000 in donations and $500,000 from the current owner had been put up to save it.
This ship served under it's own power for 81 years, hauled raw materials during both World Wars, survived two historic storms, and later on hauled cement that went into creating the US interstate system.
