The steam train "461" doing its annual trip to Wicklow, a lovely old engine and such a pleasure to see, I love to hear the whistle blow as it passes by.
Engine 1 pumps from its deluge gun during a Driver-Operator training course.
The Arkansas Fire Training Academy in East Camden, Arkansas maintains a fleet of three pumpers. Engine 1 is a 1988 Pierce Lance equipped with a single-stage 1,250 gpm Waterous pump and seating for ten personnel. It was purchased in 2010 after a tornado, which struck the AFTA campus on October 29, 2009, damaged existing apparatus beyond repair.
Rochdale Olympic (1962) Engine 1800cc MGB engine mated to a six speed, one overdrive gearbox Production 250 Phase 1 and 150 Phase II
Built by Rochdale Motor Panels, and designed chiefly by Richard Parker and influenced by the shape of his fathers Porsche 356. The first prototype was running by 1960 powered by a Morris Minor BMC A Type engine, the first road car appeared with larger windows and a highly curved wind screen. Most production cars had a Riley 1.5ltr. engine though the Minor engine and Ford engines were also available.
The Phase 1 had Minor/Riley torsion bar suspension with a roll bar and coil springs at the rear. Rack and pinion steering
In 1961 a factory fire destroyed the factory, the moulds and a great many cars. The set back and ensuing delays in production costing the company the loss of a lot of orders. But in 1963 the Phase II was launched with redesigned suspension, disc brakes, and an electric cooling fan. The thickness of the body was increased. and the car was now powered by a Ford Cortina 1500GT engine. The costs were £ 735 in kit form or £ 930 factory built though most were in fact sold as kits. Production all but ceased in 1967 although a few cars were made into the 1970's with the last leaving the factory in 1973. The moulds were sold to a group of Rochdale owners who still preserve them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cobb's Engine House (properly known as Windmill End Pumping Station) in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England, is a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade II listed building built around 1831.[1] It housed a stationary steam pump used to pump water firstly from Windmill End Colliery and later other mines in the area. Utilizing a shaft 525 feet deep, 1,600,000 litres of water were pumped from the mines into the canal daily.[2] It ceased work in 1928 and the Newcomen type engine was moved to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan in 1930.[3]
It stands near Windmill End Junction in the Warren's Hall local nature reserve, where the Dudley No. 2 Canal and the Boshboil Arm meets the southern end of the Netherton Tunnel Branch Canal. The area came into the possession of Sir Horace St.Paul from his father-in-law, John Ward, 2nd Viscount Dudley and Ward, on his marriage to John's daughter Anna Maria Ward.[4] It was Horace who instigated the construction of the engine house.
visible: Skunk 2 polished aluminum strut tower bar, samco sport hose kit, TEIN EDFC terminals on the the ends of the TEIN Flex coilovers, NGK performance spark plug wires, Optima battery. I installed the Optima battery after the previous one died...supposedly there was a short in the EDFC that might have caused the battery to drain. TEIN repaired the EDFC but I'm still having issues with it, but have been too busy to deal with it for now.
The kit and its assembly:
My first submission to the 2023 “Re-engine” group build at whatifmodellers.com, and a British Corsair with a Centaurus instead of the original R-2800 is almost a no-brainer. But taking the idea to hardware turned out to be a bit trickier than expected. I based my fictional conversion on an Italeri F4U-4, which would have been the appropriate late-WWII basis for a real-life conversion. The kit has good ex- and internal detail with fine engraved panels and offers the late Corsairs’ all-metal wings, too.
The engine replacement is a massive resin piece from OzMods, part of a conversion twin set for a Bristol Brigand; I assume it’s intended for the Valom kit? The set includes resin four-blade props with deep blades which I rather wanted to use than the Sea Fury’s typical five-blade prop.
The Italeri Corsair was basically built OOB, but beyond the different engine, which caused some trouble in itself (see below), I incorporated several mods to change the aircraft’s appearance. The streamlined Centaurus was insofar a problem because it has s slightly smaller diameter than the original R-2800 cowling. Not much, but enough to make a simple exchange impossible or at least look awkward. While the upper cowling section and its curvature blended well into the Corsair fuselage, the difference became more obvious and complicated underneath: late Corsairs have a “flattened” bottom, and from below the Centaurus appears somewhat undersized. To smooth the intersection out I grinded much of the cooling flaps away, and to even out the profile I added a shallow air scoop from an Italeri F4U-7 under the engine, which required some PSR. A good compromise, though. The resin propeller was mounted onto a metal axis and fitted into a hole/channel that was drilled through the Centaurus’ massive resin block.
As an FAA Corsair the wing tips were clipped, which was easy to realize thanks to the massive parts in this area. The Corsair’s original oil coolers in the wing roots were retained, but the four guns in the wings (separate parts in the Italeri kit with quite large holes) were replaced with faired Hispano cannon for/from an early Hawker Tempest, aftermarket brass parts from Master Models.
To change the model’s look further I modified the tail surfaces, too; the rounded fin was replaced with a rather square and slightly bigger donor, a stabilizer from a Novo Supermarine Attacker. The original stabilizers were replaced, too, with trapezoidal alternatives from a Matchbox Meteor night fighter, which offer slightly more area. Since the tail surfaces were all graft-ons now I implanted a vertical styrene tube behind the rear cockpit bulkhead as a display holder adapter for later flight scene pictures. Together with the clipped/squared-off wingtips the new tail creates a consistent look, and with the propeller and its dominant spinner in place the Corsair V reminds a lot of a late Bristol Firebrand mark or even of an Unlimited Class Reno Racer? It looks fast and purposeful now!
Even though unguided missiles and/or bombs could have been a valid ordnance option I decided to leave the Corsair V relatively clean as a pure gun fighter; I just used the OOB drop tank on the centerline station.
Engine 374, a wood-burning locomotive, pulled the first passenger train into Vancouver in 1888 (the original CPR terminus was at Port Moody) and is preserved at the roundhouse.

Very very orange to match the frame's reddish-orange interior, this clean and well kept 327 V8 looks fantastic.
Drove it a little, found an oil leak from the cheap-assed Chinese timing cover. Gotta take all the front stuff off to replace it, doin' that now. Ran real good, twice the power of the stock 283. Feels like 350/400 hp. Not abusing it yet but I can tell it's there. After I get about a 1,000 miles on it I'll NAIL IT !!
