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!
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.
San Jose has received Engines from Hi-Tech in various orders ifrom 1992, 1998, 2009 and now these rigs. Internally thet are known as the Fourth Generation Hi-Techs.
San Jose also has Fire Engines in it's front line fleet from KME in 2003 and Ferrara in 2006, all built on Spartan Gladiator chassis.
Here are the specs for the 2011 4th Generation Hi-Techs:

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.
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.
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.

NO, I DO NOT SELL THIS ITEM!
The engine of a Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo Le.
I assume if you drop something in there you either have to take the engine out or tip the car upside down and give it a good shake!!!

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.

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 ...
Yorkshire Engine 325hp 0-6-0 diesel mechanical shunter No.2760 of 1957, Port of London Authority No.235 "Bamborough". No.2760 was one of 11 built for the PLA. It has a Rolls Royce C8SFL engine. In 1971 it was sold to GKN and used at Cardiff Steelworks as No.372. Pictured at Toddington, Gloucestershire-Warwickshire Railway, May 2013.
