In theory I don't usually bother with light engine moves but never came across a 92 on HS1 during my previous visits so I thought it was worth a go. I didn't realise at the time that the following Monday was the last day of freight on HS1 with the recent contract with presuming Transfesa coming to an end. So the chances of a DB 92 north of Dollands Moor now are really slim. So for the record which I'm glad I made the effort now, sees 92029 working the 0L22 1606 Dollands Moor sidings - Ripple Lane sidings. Funny enough the 92 ended up failing at Singlewell loop, meaning the southbound freight didn't run that evening. Shame they don't seem to be any hope of further freight traffic along here. 19/7/24.
an old engine in telford, rusting away. it reminds me of optimus prime from Transformers....... rusting away because he has no more energon cubes left
my 3 year old son saw this picture and commented "the choo choo train looks sad" which I suppose rusting away there, it kind of does look sad.......
Sick with a cold last few days but I've been working on the engine section, which I feel is the weakest part of the SHIP at the moment. So here's a before and after shot. It's better but still not 100% happy.
The light bley section needs more greebling, not too much, but more. Also I just spotted a mistake I need to fix at the back!
Ironmaking blast furnaces require large amounts of air to be blown into the bottom of the furnace to intensify the combustion, the same way a blacksmiths forge needs air blown into it to make it hotter. That air blast, probably 40,000 CFM at around 25 psi, was provided originally by blowing engines. These were injected with natural gas and the large flywheels supplied kinetic energy. These were also used to generate electricity. These engines were in constant operation for almost 100 years except for when they were shut down for routine maintenance. If anyone has more information on these engines, I would be happy to hear from you. For a sense of the size of these engines, check out the stairs along the right side.
Today, I am told, steel mills use turbo blowers that are much smaller and operate much like jet engines. These are piston engines that operate like the compressor in your garage, on a much larger scale of course.
This is 1L50, the RCTS End of Steam Commemorative Rail Tour of 4 August 1968, very much the focus of attention at Blackburn. 48476 has arrived (nearly three hours down) from Manchester Victoria along with 73069 to swap with scruffy 45407 (a late substitute for 45110). The train would continue to Hellifield, Skipton and Lostock Hall, where Britannia 70013 took over. The eventual arrival back at Euston was some four and a half hours behind schedule, the full story recounted in the link below.
All of the four steam locomotives that took part in the tour have been preserved. Of the rest, D1624 and D7513 are long since scrapped, although E3183 survives as 86251, but has been withdrawn since 2002 and has been used as a source of spares for Freightliner.
