The Cornish engine depended on the use of steam pressure above atmospheric pressure, as devised by Richard Trevithick in the 19th century. Trevithick's early "puffer" engines discharged steam into the atmosphere. This differed from the Watt steam engine, which depended solely on the creation of a vacuum when steam was condensed. Trevithick's later ones (in the 1810s) combined the two principles, starting with high pressure steam but also condensing it in a separate condenser. The engines were used to pump out the water to stop the mines flooding. The remains of this engine house is just one of so many found throughout Cornwall. No fear of stepping on rattlers here but falling down a mine shaft is likely :)
Mining in Cornwall Bronze Age (around 2150 BC) and It ended with South Crofty tin mine closing in 1998. Tin and later copper were the most productive of the metals extracted in the county. Arsenic, silver, zinc and a few other metals were also mined over the centuries here.

It's April 11 1967 at Blisworth Mines, Northamptonshire, and the engines in steam are "Ettrick" and "Siemens." I think "Ettrick", seen here, was a Hawthorn Leslie product built in 1928. As my copies of Tonks's "Ironstone Railways" books are in the UK and I am in California, I have no idea what happened to her when the quarry closed in September 1967. She had been given a quick coat of pale cheap blue paint over her previous handsome green in 1965. It did nothing for her looks, but "Ettrick" was always my favorite of the Blisworth stud. I've no idea about her name, except that there is a place on the Scottish borders named Ettrick. Copyright John Evans - no unauthorised copying or use.

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
this is a Clayton & Shuttleworth traction engine built in 1919
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.
My first trip trackside in 2011 had its rewards. NS 181, with a clean, blue ex-Conrail engine doing the honors, rolls west on the Lafayette District between Ivesdale and Bement, IL. It's a cold and windy day, and minutes after I captured this shot, a brief snow squall would eclipse the sunlight.
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.
