SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
This is from a model airplane show in Lebanon County. This obviously is not a model, but a real plane. I have pictures of the entire plane, but the engine intrigued me.

Ever since seeing the episode of The Munsters where Herman is lost at sea (or something) and hauled up in a Russian trawler's net, every time I see a steam train (whether full scale or otherwise) I can't help seeing the great lug surrounded by jolly Soviet fisherfolk clapping him on as he plays the squeezebox and sings:
Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little puffer-bellies
All in a row
Yay! Everyone should have at least one ludicrous association in their brain!
Water leaking out of one of the heads wasn't a good sign at all. Worst case scenario, the head's cracked. Best case scenario, its just the gasket. Luckily, it was just the gasket. Seaview mechanic Andy Caswell digs right in to repair it.
In late June 2012 San Jose Fire Department put 6 new fire engines on the road. These rigs are built by Hi-Tech EVS on 2011 Spartna Gladiator chassis.

The track was located several inches above the table top which provided space for the electrical and mechanical controls. Shown here are the controls for the engine house doors and sidings. The full article describing this layout is found in RailBricks Issue #4 at www.railbricks.com .
Cincinnati, Ohio. A local group of photographers gained access to a scrap yard where we found all kinds of interesting things to photograph. I found these engine blocks interesting, but then again, I've always be a bit of a motorhead.

BMH2-4 Andrew Barclay No. 807 "Bon Accord" - Beamish - 22nd September 2017
This locomotive was an ex- Aberdeen Gasworks survivor. It belongs in the collection at the Royal Deeside Railway, Milton of Crathes near Banchory, Aberdeenshire. The locomotive is on loan to the Beamish Museum and is due to return to its home base imminently.
Nearly six months after removing it, the rebuilt engine is back in its bay. Still needs the cooling system, exhaust pipe, alternator and air filter refitted but then should be good to go.
I'm not sure of the vintage of this scooter. The red kick stand over at the right was discontinued after the 1948 model year, but the round block, one-piece, Husky with the plug on top, did not appear until the 1949 model year. Maybe this is a 60-series scooter and Cushman just used up their supply of 50-series kickstands before switching to the round ones.
The fuel tank mount is also a 50-series part that was discontinued after the '48 model.
I will add notes to identify various parts so you can just put your cursor on it to see what it is.

Once, i May I waited for a lift and at that time I took this capture.
I was tired, waited for a long, long time and the engine-driver did not stop!
Some people are so rude. May 2011.
Jet engines have always fascinated me. Their symmetry to me is beautiful to look at. From a functionality standpoint, they are elegantly simple. From an engineering POV though, they are an exercise in attention to detail.
Capable of insanely huge RPMs and producing mind-boggling amounts of thrust, engineered to insanely precise tolerances and at the same time can swallow a bird and not blink twice during normal operations ...
