Beautiful V-Twin engine of a gorgeous Victory cruiser. Taken at the Freedom Riders Cruise Night in Fresno.
It took more than 200 Los Angeles Firefighters less than 90 minutes to control a massive non-injury blaze sparked by a welder's torch in a condominium building under construction in the Warner Center area of Los Angeles, California on March 24, 2008. © Photo by Mike Meadows
Waltek fire engine at the Toronto City Centre Airport, seen at the Doors Open Toronto exhibit in May, 2002 (I think). Taken with the old Canon EOS Rebel G & Canon EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, scanned with an Epson V500 @1600 DPI.
Completed in 1928, the two Worthing Simpson triple expansion engines pumped 19 million gallons of water a day each, to a head of 200 feet.
The Kempton Park water treatment works were opened in 1897 with two holding reservoirs and 12 slow sand filter beds. Two Lilleshall triple expansion engines were used to pump water from the Thames to the reservoirs and three more to pump it to Cricklewood in North London. Steam came from 6 Lancashire boilers.
In 1902 the New River Company was acquired by the Metropolitan Water Board and the size of the site increased. By 1963 the site employed 144 men (most to polish the metal work, it would seem) and pumped 86 million gallons per day.
The Lilleshall engines where scrapped in 1968 but the Worthington Simpson Triples stayed in use until 1980. Electric pumps now run in the Lilleshall House and pump 75 million gallons a day with just 14 staff.
One of my best pictures. The colors look incredible!

Armstrong-Whitworth were the result of a merger between Armstrong Mitchell & Co and Joseph Whitworth who invented the famous screw threads that bear his name. Armstrong-Whitworth went on to make cars and trucks, aircraft, armaments, ships, bridges, locomotives and road rollers. Needless to say, all the nuts and bolts on this roller have a Whitworth thread - the owner said that there are "none of those foreign bolts on my engine".
Not exactly, but they disappeared back into the industrial sidings on the west edge of town for about half an hour, presumably to take on coal. The locomotive actually did make a short freight run out of Horicon on the next day, but I didn't get confirmation on it in time to make it up there.
Santa Clara County Fire Department responded to a multi alarm house fire in Cupertino, May 2011. After a reported explosion in or near the garage fire fighters arrived to find the garage, 2 cars in the driveway and the front shrubs blazing away. Ultimately the house was almost entirely destroyed, and the neighbouring property on the Delta exposure suffered extensive damage. Firebrands sparked the roof on an appartment complext two streets away, further complicating the morning.
Santa Clara County Engine 2 is a 2000 KME Pumper with a 1250 GPM Pump.

It's finally in!!! After almost 2 1/2 years, the Rabbit truck finally has the 16v installed. It is a combination of a 2.0liter bottom end from a '91 Passat, and the 1.8liter 16v head from the '87 Scirocco. The Scirocco's 5-speed transmission is installed as well with a new Sachs clutch kit and eurospec lightened flywheel. Replaced all the fuel injector brass housings, plastic housings and seals. Cleaned up and reused the old injectors. Replaced all gaskets including head, oil pan, both intake manifold gaskets, and the exhaust gaskets as well. Bearings looked good, but I had to replace one rod bolt due to my own fault. New Head bolts obviously , new timing belt, new tensioner, new water pump, new hoses except for the crankcase to rubber intake boot because it is and obsolete part that is impossible to find. New radiator as well. I will think of more later, but that is a pretty good list for now.
