V8 engine with moving pistons. Standard LEGO cylinders/pistons are too big for what I need so I've made something smaller. :)

Cotton Belt 4-8-4 819 builds up steam on a warm June morning in Illmo, MO. The train will soon depart en route for St. Louis and will soon pass onto Union Pacific rails as the trains cross the Mississippi River into Illinois.
For many years Cotton Belt and Missouri Pacific used each other's tracks between St. Louis and southeastern Missouri. This trackage rights arrangement ended only when Cotton Belt became part of UP in 1995.
Shortly before we sold this engine in April 2006, I took this photo.

Some track remains. This is on the rear (drive) sprocket and behind is the transmission from the engine. The engine is missing.

The Titchwell RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) site is dotted with left-overs from its time as a WW2 anti-tank gun training site and its post-WW2 use as an RAF bombing and strafing range. There are various concrete bunkers where range crews could hide safely while armour-piercing solid shots (rather than exploding shells) were fired at range targets. AP solid shot was the primary anti-tank ammunition in those days and it still is.

On the sandy beach are the notable wrecks of two WW2 Covenanter cruiser tanks. The Covenanter was one of several designs based on the chassis and running gear of J. Walter Christie, a maverick U.S. inventor who managed to alienate almost the entire U.S. military to the extent that they would not buy his invention. But the Soviet Union DID buy it, sparking the succesfull BT and T-34 series of tanks. When British observers saw the BTs charging around in 1930s Soviet manouevres, the War Department was also impressed enough to buy the Christie suspension system and spark off the A13 Cruiser, Covenanter, Crusader, Cavalier, Centaur, Cromwell and Comet series of WW2 tanks.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Walter_Christie
The secret of Christie's suspension was large springs hidden in the side armour, attached to the axles of large road wheels. It allowed a considerable amount of 'float' at high speeds. Some Soviet BT light tanks could achieve speeds well over 50mph and - while credited with 27mph as a gun tank - my late father, a REME vehicle fitter, told me that the turret-less and gutted Crusader gun tractors in his unit had their 'governors' removed and were capable of 55mph on roads. This speed boost allowed them to out-run the 50mph Military Police motorcycles which only had low grade war-time petrol.
I had previously seen the Titchwell tanks when almost covered with sand and it was interesting to note late last year that the sand had now washed away, exposing details of the tanks’ Christie suspension and parts of the hull armour, wheels, track and final drive assemblies. The engines are missing. When I had first seen them I doubted the local story that they were old range targets - it appeared that one had just bogged down and the second tank had bogged down as well while trying to tow out the first one. I now believe this was a mistake on my part. They ARE range targets.
Close examination of both exposed hulls show several shot holes right through the armour (about 30 to 40mm thick in some places) with spalling on the exit side of several. Also there is a major deformation in the glacis - front plate - of one vehicle which may have been caused by the impact of a 4.5 or 5.5-inch medium gun's shot. These mediums were given emergency anti-tank training at Titchwell just prior to D-Day, in case they ever needed to function as anti-tank guns. That sort of close range work is not their normal role. The drill was to fire these medium guns at enemy tanks loaded with an H.E. (high explosive) shell from which the explosive fuse has been removed. The effective of this was that there was no explosion but massive disruption of the tank due to pure kinetic energy - in extreme cases the turret would be torn off by the impact.
The tank wrecks are very rusty and colourful on a sunny day. But enough of the armour remains together to see clear entry and exit holes on both vehicles.
The Covenanter was never used in action but solely relegated to training, partly due to its creative (and rather vulnerable) front radiator. For many years these Titchwell Covenanters were the only ones on show in the UK, until a complete one was dug up in a Dorking field, restored and is now on display at the Bovington Tank Museum, Dorset. Interestingly, further digging in the same Dorking field has now unearthed two more Covenanters and they have also been recovered.
Muscatine, Iowa is a beehive of industrial activity on the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad. Once said to be the biggest source of traffic on the Rock Island Railroad outside Chicago, this small Mississippi River city has a couple small yards and hosts several daily industrial switch engine assignments.
Muscatine – Culver Tower, to be exact – was the point at which the joint Rock Island/Milwaukee line from the Quad Cities split into the two railroads' respective routes to Kansas City. Today, DM&E operates on the former joint track to the north and the former Rock Island to the south.
Here we see IC&E 4202 awaiting its next assignment on an industrial spur not far from the site of Culver Tower. The spur wends its way through a residential neighborhood en route to a steel plant, trains running literally feet from its neighbors' back yard grills, lawn furniture, and childrens' swimming pools.

Watching the Super Tuesday primary/caucus results tonight, and also checking the coolant level in my car. I got a warning a couple days ago that the level was low in the coolant expansion tank, so I topped it up and things seem to be holding.
