wreckage of the Boeing Superfortress B-29A that lies scattered across the peat on Bleaklow, close to the Higher Shelf stones. Hard to imagine that it was over 60 years ago that the aircraft misjudged the height in thick cloud, as the remains are so well preserved...
This should take you back in time to a previous era !!
A black and white study of one of the nicely turned out traction engines from Derek Marder's Yard in Andover.
Always wanted a traction engine but the £300 per day cost of the coal to run is definitely off putting ........

Wikipedia: Canadian National 89 is a E-10-a class 2-6-0 "Mogul" type steam locomotive, built in February 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company (CLC) for the Grand Trunk Railway (GT). Originally number No. 1009, it was renumbered to No. 911 in 1919. It then came under Canadian National (CN) ownership in 1923 when the Grand Trunk merged. It was then renumbered again to No. 89 in 1951. Most of No. 89's early life is a mystery, but it spent the latter part of its working life in Quebec until retirement in 1958 and being stored in the deadline in Montreal. It was purchased by F. Nelson Blount in 1961, who sent it to operate on the Green Mountain Railroad (GMRC) and later Steamtown, U.S.A.. It was then purchased in 1972 by the Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) who were looking for an engine to pull the half-hour trains. As of 2025, it is in operation at the Strasburg Railroad.

Klodzko depot parowa, "World Steam" lokomotyw parowyc.
I saw over 25 active steamers that day in and around Klodzko
Since I was used to see some Frence 231 & 241 in my youth I fell in love with these old PKP giants. For almost an hour I got a footplate ride, wonderful noisy and shaking experience. The automatic coal shoveler worked fine although the old and battared engine was leaking steam on many places and had to struggle hard keeping at 80 Km/h with a 4-car, DDR build, double deck unit. ...
Very friendly & skilled crew ! Difficult to get in to the depot but once you were in ... great.

Saw a few old tractors at Redcar, used to haul boats up the beach. There's just something about them.

First snow of the season and really low temps helped this steam locomotive really shine Sunday morning.
Visitors for the Spring Gala 53808 and 8572 meet at Bridgnorth. This could have been a scene featuring two LNER locomotives in that companies' livery, however B1 1264 was pulled from the gala the week before and the 7F was brought in as a late replacement.

...near Blanchland in Northumberland, was built around 1805 to house a Cornish pumping engine that prevented the local network of lead mines from flooding. Towards the end of its industrial life in the 1840s, an enormous steam engine was installed in a final attempt to keep the mines dry enough to work.
Following decommissioning, the engine house was converted to a series of flats for mining families, but was finally abandoned around a hundred years ago and has been derelict ever since.
The engine house is a reminder of a once thriving lead mining community of a little under two hundred people, but the population declined after the mid-nineteenth century, when the imports of cheaper foreign lead began. Young families then emigrated from Shildon to the goldfields of Australia and America.

Originally built by Alco in 1910 for the Maine Central Railroad, it is a steam 2-8-0 engine. This locomotive was at one time under restoration for operation on the Conway Scenic, but the plan was stopped in 2007. 501 is on display next to the turntable in North Conway and has undergone a cosmetic restoration.
woops, what happened here? There's a new engine :)
I revised my E2 model a bit, added some details and changed the livery to this more realistic one.
Aaand as I worked on the A1 Terrier what better excuse chance to make a shot with all my LBSCR engines :P
The terrier has 444 parts, is 100% buildable (not counting the cuved 2x2 tiles in black behind the smokebox door). Might be an easy build as I still have much Medium Nougat leftover from Gladstone :)
I did borrow some of the Terrier's design from Carl Greatrix's design. Of course I had to make use of the magnifying glasses for the porthole windows.
