A school bus engine, removed from its former home, rests on the ground at a school bus scrap yard near Newccomerstown, Ohio. This engine was one off several awaiting its fate, whatever that might be.
The other day, I decided to return to the basics of what rekindled my love of photography... The Engine Bridge. I have shot this bridge from almost every conceivable angle... This is one of a few images that got me interested in playing with the angles of the bridge once again.
Class 5 5407 storms through Clapham towards Eldroth with the bottom leg of a Cumbrian Mountain Express in October 1983. At this time she was owned by Paddy Smith and was permanently based at Carnforth. In those days we would spend the morning at Carnforth sheds watching the two engines being prepared, even helped out with cleaning them on the odd occasion, have breakfast in the canteen before the engine on the S&C leg would leave light engine for Hellifield ( on this day I think it was 46229 , the Duchess ).
A shot would be obtained before Wennington were the train would stop and usually perform a couple of run pasts for the passengers allowing us to get ahead for a second bite. Then a leisurely drive up to the S&C to get the second engine climbing the long drag. Happy days indeed in my dad Freds Marina.
34 years on and we are still able to pursue our hobby and 5407 is still pleasing the punters under the ownership of Ian Riley. Who'd have thought .

Soviet SO class freight steam locomotive of class 2-10-0 (1-5-0) was named in Soviet tradition after the leader – the revolutionist bolshevik Sergo Ordzhonikidze (SO, СО - Серго Орджоникидзе). SO class was developed in 1933 y as the elongated version of very successful E (Э) type of 0-10-0 class of steam engines, the Eu (Эу) series of that was developed and built in Soviet Russia with about 2500 ones were produced in 1926—1930. Original E- class was designed by Russian engineer Łopuszyński, Wacław Marian in 1909. These engines were built from 1912 to 1957 in imperial and Soviet Russia as well as Sweden, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania in world record big series with total production exceeds 10853 ones. After start of production by the reconstructed Lugansk Locomotive Plant in Soviet Ukraine of modern powerful 2-10-2 class FD freight locomotives with many construction innovations it became necessary to create locomotive of simplified design, which could be built at all plants and operates without rebuilding depots, turntables and track superstructure, but be more powerful than obsolete E-series. To obtain this Research Institute of Traction Reconstruction of the NKPS developed a preliminary design of a new 2-10-0 type locomotive based on an E-series steam locomotive which boiler was increased that lead to general frame elongation and inreased weight that need addition of the leading wheel that was taken from the Su-class of passenger locomotives of the 2-6-2 class also developed before The Great October revolution. The detailed design and working drawings were made by a team of designers of the Kharkov Locomotive Plant under the leadership of P.M. Sharoyko. Many technical improvemets have been made after start of locomotive production in 1934. SO18 (CO18) was the latter series of SO17 (СО17) engine, with some improvements and increased rail load up to 18 t. A total production of SO built by 6 plants was 4487 ones.
Back in September 2017 The Big Lemon acquired six sister ADL Enviro 200 buses for local bus services however one never made it into service and began being stripped for spares. YX10 FEM is seen here today having engine and gearbox removed.
This project started out with me seeing some concept art by Ivan Tantsiura. The engines in particular really caught my attention. More boxy than what you normally see. So I decided to run with the concept.
The idea behind the shuttle itself was less scientific like NASAs shuttles, and more commercial. Carrying corporate employees to stations in Earth orbit. So the interior is more luxurious than you might expect with plenty of leg room. Even the cockpit has some measure of luxury, despite a lot of that being overridden with function The seat would have neural ports for the pilots to control the aircraft, something I couldn't manage on the model itself but the idea lives on in my imagination. Now, on the other hand, you don't want to waste money on too much luxury, so the rear cargo bay is bare metal with industrial warnings and hardpoints for securing luggage. Really embracing that military cargo bay feel. All in all I am really happy with the interior. I even managed to make room for figs!
I had just as much fun with the exterior. I wanted a super clean look that was reminiscent of our real-world shuttles, but still carried on more sci-fi design cues. The engines are an obvious start to that concept. Those were taken wholesale from the concept art I mentioned earlier, then modified and adapted to suit what I had in mind. The rest of the shuttle took shape from an early sketch I did of the top profile. And I swear I was using that leading edge design before the UCS Batwing was announced, that's what I'm saying to make myself feel better at least.
Obviously, another important part of the exterior is the color blocking. The orange came pretty naturally. It contrasts well without being too bright. And the part availability meant I had access to enough parts to really clean up the lines. The orange section on the underside makes me especially happy.
And that's really a good note to end on, I'm just really happy with this build. It let me have some fun and I think the final pruduct reflects that. As always, instructions are available on Rebrickable. rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-89840/AsgardianStudio/cyberpunk-...
Thanks for reading!
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.

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.
After 17 years and 9 months, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92 020 finally runs on the mainline once again under her own power.
Undertaking a short initial test run for her first outing since April 2001, 020 was accompanied by sister locomotive, 92 032 "IMechE Railway Division", which had been at Crewe ETD for repairs and was acting as the 'insurance' locomotive.
Running as 0Z92, the pair of GB engines left the DB Cargo depot - the Class 92s' original "home" - with the (GB) driver sounding 020's horn to mark the occasion as they rounded the curve towards the north end of Crewe station.
92020 and 92032 then had brief spell in the UDL at the station, before 032 took the pair back to the ETD.
To add to the uniqueness of the occasion both 92s had their pans up during the test run.
I took this yesterday... I was pleased that the chimney had survived the storms and looks very solid. However, that crack in the south wall, which we first noted in 2008, has begun to spread and cause stones to be displaced. I suppose that it is too dangerous to try and conserve, not that there's the money for that any way.

I visited the Western Railway Museum on Highway 12 in Solano County, Northern California today. It was pouring rain - good museum weather, I think. They don’t run the antique trains in the rain, but I had the “barns” where the trains are stored almost to myself. Low light and cramped quarters made photography a bit challenging, but I’ll be sharing a few images of the cool engines and trolleys they have on display.

Here we see what was the final example of a Western Pacific steam locomotive in operation. Built over 100 years ago, she was a workhorse until diesels took over in the early 1950’s. She continued serving as the railroad's steam ambassador, pulling several different Western Pacific specials and excursions, and even made a cameo appearance in Walt Disney's movie "Pollyanna". On August 22, 1960 she powered a special between Oakland and Niles to participate in the railroad's 50th anniversary of passenger service. In 1979 the Western Railway Museum received Engine 94 and had her pulling short excursions until Labor Day weekend of 1985 when she made her last run. Today No. 94 is in need of expensive boiler work. Everyone's hoping to see the Grand Old Lady operate under steam again.

I have near on 60 shots to process but have no time at the moment, I felt the need to upload something and found this one of an old tractor engine gathering dust on the hard drive.
Given the HDR treatment
Thanks for taking the time to look, your comments are appreciated
