This is my entry for the 2017 LSB Contest in the "Vastland Cross" category:
The Grasshopper is a very durable heavy speeder, which is built for long endurance races though the most extreme weather conditions. It's weight is
caused by the two heavy jet engines that are mounted independently in the back of the speeder. In the front of the speeder are two hover pads aren't used as in the most speeders, to keep the speeder in the air, they are used as brakes and devices for very accurate movements. The Grasshopper isn't maneuverable at all, but is very fast, powerful and durable. The position of the driver isn't the best for aerodynamics, but it is the best way possible for challenges like hill climbing. As all Triton speeders, the Grasshopper has very fragile landing gear.
(I will make an .io file for this creation.)
Firstly, the majority of the credit for this creation needs to go to Jason Railton who built the original version. He doesn't currently have any photos of his creation on his photostream, but it can be seen here, here and here, as part of his fairground display for the 2010 Great Western Lego Show.
I saw Jason's creation at the 2010 Great Western Lego Show and realised that it would make a perfect Christmas present for my brother-in-law who owns his own traction engine and has previously helped out with Carters Steam Fair. I contacted Jason and he was happy for me to duplicate his model as long as it wasn't for sale or for use as a competition entry.
As you can see, my version is not identical to Jason's. When recreating his model, I only had those photos I've already linked to above for reference, so some guesswork was involved in determining exactly how some areas were built. I also chose not to include the motorized functionality and made additional changes to the design based upon personal preference.
I would have liked to have included the yellow band between the flywheel and the dynamo, but unlike Jason's original creation which used the small red motor for the dynamo, mine is only attached by one stud and as such is not strong enough to counteract the tension in the band. Also, in case you were wondering, the cat was added for my sister, who didn't realise that LEGO made cats until she saw them used throughout the displays at the 2010 Great Western Lego Show.

Consolidated Fire District 2 (CFD2) Engine 23 at a 3 alarm apartment fire in Mission Kansas 3-15-2014. Original fire call came out at 10:41hrs it quickly was upgraded shortly after.
Pretty clean engine bay for a car 59 years old. 1955 Ford Customline 4 door family cruiser with a 272 three speed on the column and overdrive. I will replace this Ford re-manufactured carb with a new Holley and reroute that fuel line to the front of the engine to keep it cooler and get the filter from over the manifold. The filter will be metal for safer fuel handling.
As the day's shadows grow long and the sun sinks in the western sky, DM&E's 170 train enters CTC territory at Rutledge, IA. Rutledge is the beginning of the downhill grade into the crew change point of Ottumwa; the grade reaches 1.75%.
170 will use dynamic braking to get down the hill and its crew is about 30 minutes from ending another tour of duty.
Whittber engine, made in Adelaide , at the NRM at Port Adelaide. This engine was possibly used in a Whittber inspection car.
The fire was reported at 8:03 AM on March 30, 2013, bringing the swift response of forty-four Los Angeles Firefighters to 5239 Bellingham Avenue in Valley Village, where they discovered fire in one upstairs room of a two-story residential fourplex. Flames were confined to the well-involved room of fire origin, and extinguished in just 16 minutes. No human injuries were reported.

Not the original engine for the Rapier but the technical assessment report (chalked on the tappet cover) reckons it is up to the job.
I did like this well preserved (or new?) bike when I spotted it this afternoon. I took a few shots but I don't think I did it justice. If you know the model or anything about this bike - let me know by commenting here.
Update 18/9/06: It is a Harley Davidson Road King circa 2002-2006 - thank you to emxgarcia.

Via via een nette motorafdekplaat weten te scoren in glossy zwart. Staat erg netjes, al zal ik naar alle waarschijnlijkheid het bovenste gedeelte zwart plastidippen.

This is the engine in the Saturn Sky. It has an Inline 4 cylinder but about 200 horsepower. Very impressive.
The Alouette is a unique prototype from early Cygnus Corp tests for speed racing.
The project was abandoned when it's creator, Joe Lewis,was fired. He took all blueprints with him and it's only after he passed away that his youngest son, Parker, found them and decided to build it.
Lightweight, with one unique rear engine, he is unbeatable in speed.Parker Lewis won the 5 first races he entered and shook the racing world proving that old school technology still had some tricks that needed to be mastered.
(this MOC was built by my roomate SORA空, whom I contaminated day after day building spacecrafts ^^)
