So last weekend was fun since my new parts finally arrived. Now rocking the one-piece Steeda Strut Tower Bar (designed for a Ford Fusion) and a custom Optima 34R billet aluminum battery tray. Definitely gives the engine bay a bit of flare without being over the top.
Shot around 6:30pm on Halloween. Used LR3 to correct the wb/noise then opened in Photoshop CS5 to sharpen it up a bit.

Engine 57 of the Olathe Fire Department (OFD) on scene of a duplex fire on Haven Lane on Olathe, Kansas 1-19-2015.
Santa Fe number 92, an EMD FP45, was open for self-guided tours when we last went to IRM. This is the top of the diesel engine within it with the cover open for inspection.
Seen in April 2010 in a field in Newton Road, Whittlesford, Cambs. Make is Marshall, has no cylinder block & looks to have been used as a portable boiler in a nursery.
Its now gone from there to Bannold Supplies on the A14 at Fenstanton & has apparently been restored by the owner Michael Attle, a steam & vintage vehicle enthusiast. The builders number is 16648

Well over a million of these buggers were produced, and gave solid service for decades. This one's been around a few times - note the reconditioning company's sticker on the rocker-cover...
Japan's first supercar, the Toyota 2000 GT was released in the late 1960's.
Styled by Count Albrecht von Goertz, the design was originally created at Yamaha for Nissan. When Nissan rejected the proposal, the production car was manufactured and sold on behalf of Toyota.
The original models were fitted with a Yamaha developed twin camshaft inline six cylinder engine of 2.0 litres. This was later increased to 2.3 litres for nine out of the total of 337 cars produced.
Famous in its own right, two special 2000 GT convetibles were produced to star in the James Bond movie 'You Only Live Twice'.
The car is now consideres a higl valued, rare gem. Technically, however, it was behind the pace of supercar development in Europe and considered underpowered compared to exotic versions of fast American machinery.
Nissan was to later develop their own vehicle along a similar theme, the 240Z, which became an enormous success on the US market.
This lego model has been developed for Flickr LUGNuts 35th Challenge - Big in Japan, celebrating cars, bikes and trucks from the Japanese auto manufacturers.

"80 acres and 300 aircraft" doesn't begin to describe the depth of the collections. Wandering around for 4 hours and still not seeing it all does a little better.

The engine bay in this car is so clean becuase it's never housed a Gas engine. At the moment, we're without a motor too due to the motor dying :(

My 2nd new custom Fire engine. I wanted to try a different style. 6 wide front with 7 wide back. Dual rear wheels on each side. All compartments are filled with appropiate tools and accessories. There is a stretcher in the middle. The design purpose of this vehicle is for urban Search & Rescue, MVA response, and HAZMAT.
Oklahoma City Fire Department Engine 17 came out, this brought out half the neighborhood to see what was going on. I am thinking, where are their hoses? or their dalmatian
All aluminium has been degreased and acid-cleaned and left bare. The sump was repainted in black engine enamel. The cast iron block is in silver engine enamel. The cam cover has had unnecessary lugs, casting marks and an outlet removed before being etch-primed and coated in black wrinkle-finish paint. The TOYOTA casting was picked-out by rubbing-back to bare aluminium.
Engine (Power producing equipment) | Generator
Gas-Steam Engine, 1916, Used to Generate Electricity at Highland Park Plant
Designed by Ford Motor Company, made by Hooven, Owens, Rentschler Company of Hamilton, Ohio,
generator made by Crocker Wheeler Electric Motor Company of Ampere, New Jersey.
Crocker Wheeler Electric Motor Company | Ford Motor Company | Hooven, Owens, Rentschler Company
(Hamilton, Ohio)
This hybrid engine was one of nine such units that provided DC power to the Ford Motor Company's
Highland Park; each was rated at 6000 horsepower.
Each of the Highland Park machines consisted of two complete engines direct-connected to a
centrally-mounted direct current generator. Each engine was two-cylinder, arranged in tandem. The
gas engine is a two cylinder, double-acting, four cycle producer gas machine with water cooled 42 inch
bore cylinders. The stroke is 72 inches. The engine is equipped with breaker-point low tension
ignition. The steam engine is a tandem compound 72" stroke machine with "composite" valvegear:
poppet valves for the 36" bore high pressure cylinder and corliss valves for the 72" bore low pressure
cylinder. A centrally-mounted governor was used to regulate the speed. This controlled the cut-off on
the steam engine side. If speed exceeded the rated 80 RPM, the governor was arranged so that it
would cut off the supply of gas to the gas engine side. Under that rated maximum speed, the speed of
the entire machine was regulated by the steam engine.
The original intention had been to operate the gas engine side at full rated power as much as possible
(in fact the first engine to be installed at the plant was a plain producer gas engine) This was because it
was the more efficient of the two. However, the speed regulation and the reliability of the steam side
was better than the gas side, so this side was designed to control the speed and, should the gas side
fail, carry the full load. This it could do, provided the cut-off was set very late.
The basic idea of these machines was to build an enormously efficient power source that utilized every
possible BTU in the fuel being burned. Thomas Wilson stated in his 1916 article the rationale that led
to the building of these unique hybrid machines:
"In many ways Detroit is a remarkable city. It has a number of the largest institutions of their kind in
the country, and of these the plant of the Ford Motor Co. is preeminent. Here initiative is encouraged,
and when standard methods fail to meet requirements, there is no hesitency in deviating from the
beaten path to solve the problems at hand. It is not surprising then, that the power-generating
equipment of this great company is novel and that it differs in arrangement and in methods used to
recover waste heat from any other installation in the country. An inadequate supply of water made
impossible the high vacuums essential to the economy of a turbo-generator. Direct current could be
used to the best advantage in the shops, and to drive large direct-current generators without
intermediate gearing required a prime mover that would operate efficiently at relatively low speed "

Used at Ford Motor Company's Highland Park Plant, Highland Park, Michigan
intermediate gearing required a prime mover that would operate efficiently at relatively low speed.
Although these engines caused a flurry of interest in the engineering community when they were built,
and despite the fact that they operated with great efficiency, this design was never adopted elsewhere,
outside of the Ford Motor Company. This was probably because these machines were enormous in size
relative to their power output and because the maintenance costs associated with large, open, complex
machinery are always high. Also, although Wilson also stated that "direct-current could be used to the
best advantage in the shops..." this was not necessarily so. By the 1920's, if not earlier, the polyphase
alternating current induction motor had become the power source of choice. When the new Ford Plant
was built at the River Rouge, the new power house was equipped with steam turbines. By 1930, this
engine was considered obsolete and was transferred to this museum.
One of the side benefits of having this engine in the collection is that it has a great many highly
significant auxilliery components associated with it. These include the Wheeler vacuum pump and
condenser, the Bundy return steam trap and several pumps and valves. Very little of this ancillary
material has been preserved in museum collections.
This machine is a remarkable testament to Henry Ford's interest in unusual engines and his almost
missionary zeal that waste be kept to a minimum. While its significance relative to the overall
evolution of heat engines remains minimal the insight it offers into Ford's methodology--particularly the
degree to which reciprocating steam technology was in effect hard-wired into his sensibilities--is
remarkable. With respect to power source development, this is a perfect example of the road not
taken.
According to the 1917 atricle, these engines were designed by the Ford Motor Company and built by
Owens-Rentschler. The exact relationship between Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company and the Ohio
engine builder is not known at this time.
