Engine number 1774 was acquired by Arizona Eastern Railroads between 1910 and 1924. In 1924 Southern Pacific Railroad took over and the engine was assigned to main line freight, during World War II the engine was used to pull troop trains and to haul freight to military bases in Arizona and Southern California. Around 1945-1946 the engine was reassigned to the Globe-Miami bowie run pulling both passenger and freight trains.
For the Statistics minded, rail fans no 1774 has 63 inch drives, 21 inch cylinders with a 28 inc stroke and boiler pressure of 200 pounds. Weight on the drivers is 159,000 pounds.

(Does this photo remind anyone else of the 'Timotei' shampoo adverts?! Perhaps not...)

Part of No 1 School of Technical Training (No 1 SoTT) at RAF Cosford, 238 Squadron have a fleet of SEPECAT Jaguar GR1 and GR3 aircraft, along with a few other airframe types, all of which are used for Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic training. With many thanks to staff of 238 Sqn, I was allowed to photograph the Jaguar aircraft and the associated ground equipment at will, predominantly to provide the detail for a forthcoming 1/48 scale 54 Sqn Jaguar that is being made for me, the first aircraft that I worked on at RAF Coltishall after completing my tech training back in the early 80’s.
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.

Closeup of the Engine. The trick how this gets held at this angle is the retracted landing gear holds it up.
The original four engines were replaced in recent years with engines removed from other airplanes. These engines consume 800 gallons of fuel per hour in flight.
I had a blown head gasket, so i pulled the engine to make that easier. I had teh transmission rebuilt while the engine was out. I replaced all the suspension bushings, new lowered springs, shocks, and brake rotors.
21st November 2018. My first ever visit to the North Norfolk Railway for a TimeLine Photo Charter. TimeLine had hired Gresley's oldest locomotive GNR N2 0-6-2T No.1744 for 2 days to run on the Poppy Line.
No.1744 still has her steam legs as she shows a good head of steam on her way to Weybourne.
I wanted a winter village train that was more train like but still had a "toy train" like quality to it. I kept the same color scheme as Lego's Holiday Train. The train is powered by Power functions and runs on standard Lego Track
