This readers, is Dinting engine shed - a nine acre site, overgrown and abandoned.
In the 1970's and 1980's this place was full of steam train enthusiasts who came flocking to Glossop to see some big trains. Today, the track is lifted, the engines gone and much of the railway stuff moved up to Keighley, West Yorkshire
Inside is trashed and tagged. Rusting lights hang from the ceiling. Outside, trees overhang the building
Following a footpath, I could see a station type building through the trees. It looked ruined. I checked it out. It was quite good.
A rather relaxing wander, and the only regret was the new boarding on the level crossing mans house nearby.
Engine 222 of Consolidated Fire District 2 in Johnson County on scene of a medical call on Buena Vista Drive in Roeland Park, Kansas. I shot this using the HDR (High-Dynamic-Range) method. 4-30-2015.
The engine of bus # 944 stopped at the temporary terminal of line 13 on Corso San Maurizio.
Busses normally have the engine in the back, but the Van Hools built between 1999 and 2002 have it behind the front left wheel.
I was taking some photos for work today at our school district's aviation program: a retired engine from a 727 was being donated to the school by FedEx. While getting the teachers and students unwrapping their new toy, I thought some details from the giant jet engine might be interesting, too.

The Mazda MX-5 Club of WA ran its January 2015 monthly cruise on Sunday 4 January from Cockburn Central Centre to Guildford using many roads few have travelled. The weather was warm and sunny.
These steam engines from the 80ies are my favorites. Since decades they are pulling different trains in different city layouts, I built. Compared to the steam engines, LEGO sold in the last years, they are not that complex but include front and back lights.
1957 Leyland Routemaster prototype bus – RML3
RML3 is one of four prototype Routemasters built and tested between 1954-1958 before full-scale production began. It was taken into stock in July 1957 and entered service in January 1958, allocated to Willesden garage for use on route 8 into and across central London. One of the two prototypes to have a Leyland engine, it became the only Routemaster to have a body built by Weymann of Weybridge/Addlestone in Surrey at their now long-gone factory just up the road from today’s Museum.
In January 1959 it was involved in a severe collision in the Edgware Road and suffered extensive frontal panel damage. After repair in London Transport’s experimental workshop at Chiswick Works, it was returned to service until November 1959 when its service career ended after only 18 months. It then became a driver-training vehicle in preparation for the introduction of production Routemasters to replace London’s electric trolleybus fleet. In 1961, the bus was re-classified as ‘RM3′ to allow the ‘RML’ designation to be used for the new longer Routemasters.
After 1963, the vehicle became disused and saw parts removed to keep its fellow Leyland prototype (the Green Line version) roadworthy. In 1965, however, the bus was repaired and overhauled, losing its distinctive and unique design of bonnet, grille and nearside mudguard in the process and receiving a standard production version instead. In this form, it returned to training duties until April 1972. After a period of storage, it was acquired by the then Cobham Bus Museum in 1974, thus becoming the very first Routemaster to be privately preserved.

Year of the Bus celebrates two centuries of buses with Regent Street Bus Cavalcade
22 June 2014, 48 buses from "the earliest horse-drawn model of the 1820s right up to the New Routemasters" paraded along Regent Street.
Southbound NS train 301 has just lined itself into the siding at Midway and has passed the searchlight signals on a bracket post at the north end of the siding. The NS Brooklyn District was single-tracked in the Eighties; to save money, NS didn't install centralized traffic control on this line and operates it as track warrant and ABS territory. Most sidings are equipped with spring switches to speed up meets.
Traffic on the NS Brooklyn District is heavier than usual due to recent flooding that's caused the railroad's Hannibal bridge to be taken out of service. NS traffic between Decatur and Kansas City are currently detouring via St. Louis.
The kit and its assembly:
This fictional aircraft was inspired by the simple idea to retrograde the Me 262 jet fighter into a piston-engined 'Behelfsjäger' alternative. While considering options like wing-mounted nacelles I wondered if the triangular fuselage diameter could not be of use, and so the concept of a pusher aircraft was born - certainly inspired by the Do 335 and its tail construction.
Anyway, what sound simple took a lot of detail work and subsequent conversions:
#1 - Engine bay
While I wanted to implant a coupled engine like the DB606 I found it too big and heavy for a fighter, so a simple Daimler Benz V12 would have to suffice. But just sticking it behind the cockpit would not work - the center of gravity would move backwards considerably. Therefore I decided to move the cockpit forward, replacing the front tank behind the weapons bay, and then place the engine above the OOB main landing gear.
The fuselage was sliced up accoringly and the cockpit opening moved forward by ~0.5". Inside, a cockpit tub from a Revell Me 262 was inserted, as well as a new seat, a dashboard and other details, together with a pilot figure. The OOB canopy could be kept this way, and openings for the exhausts were cut into the fuselage flanks, with flare blockers.
Since the model was built with its wheels down, any space in the fuselage nose was crammed with lead - and the model barely keeps its stance with the nose down...
#2 - Clean wings
The wings were taken OOB, but the engine nacelles left away and the respective gaps filled with 2C putty.
#3 - New tail
This included a scrathed propeller, its mounting inside of the fuselage and a cruziform tail.
The original fin and rudder were cut away, shortening the fuselage. From a drop tank of appropriate size, a pointed spinner was made as well as a round 'adapter ring' of apporoproate diameter for the fuselage's end section. Inside, a styrene tube holds a metal axis with the spinner, so that it can run freely.
For the propeller blades I used four clipped, swept resin blades from a C-130J conversion kit. That appears futuristic, but such designs were actually on the drawing board (e. g. at Dornier) for heavy pusher aircraft with a top speed of 800km/h and more.
With the help of the adapter ring the tail section/shape was re-sculpted with putty. The four fins all belong to Me 262 kits: the horizontal stabilizers come from the Matchbox kit, while the vertical stabilizers were leftover pieces from a Revell kit.
#4 - Radiator
Since a liquid-cooled engine, especially when buried in the fuselage, needs a radiator I went for the ventral tunnel option. At first I considered a P-51 piece, but I found a different and more massive part, that perfectly matched the Me 262 outlines: an piece of an underwater ship hull (IIRC from a German mine sweeper model from Heller, built maybe 30 years ago)!
Wide and shallow, the opening (separated with styrene blades into three sections) is wide enough to house two radiator intakes as well as the carburetor scoop in the middle that would have had otherwise to be stuck onto the fuselage flank, breaking up the clean lines.
The ship hull was long enough to be extended up to the lower fin, so that the Me 262's profile and proportions changed considerably.
#5 - Landing gear
With the lower fin as propeller guard the OOB landing gear was too short, so I had to scratch/improvise a new one. Actually, the only things left from the Matchbox kit are the covers and the front wheel. The main landing gear wells were lengthened and the track widened in order to accomodate the longer struts.
The bomb pylons under the Matchbox kit's front fuselage were covered, but as an alternative extra armament I scratched two twin starters for 'BR21' unguided air-to-air missiles from styrene profiles and placed then under the outer wings.

The Lefter's engine creates a lot of heat, that helps the pilot form frosting, but also makes a problem. To solution the engine's back can be opened form the cockpit. By-product, in space, opening the back can boost the speed of the ship.
Engine 216's former 1991 Seagrave (EX-Pipeline 52, Now Engine 904) serving as Engine 38 which has been "browned-out" (disbanded) pending the opening of their new station in late 2012.
Noticed oil when I pulled out the spark plugs so I bought a new valve cover gasket... MAKE SURE THE TABS AT THE BACK ARE PLACED CORRECTLY! I HAD TO GO BACK AND FIX MINE!! OIL EVERYWHERE GAAAHHH /capslock
This old fire engine has been converted to be a beer engine. The silver part sitting out of the side has six beer taps on it. Close up here.
clean SOHC in a belgian EK.
the rules on engine modification in belgium are very strict. that doesn't mean it can't look good.
