Another engine plate at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Not originally a steam railway, it was used to transport sand from the local quarry. When closed, enthusiasts re-opened with engines bought or donated to the railway from all over the world.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railroad locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, it moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete as demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.
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 .

My current collection of NS diesel locomotives : the NS 353 Sik, NS 627 Hippel and NS 2278. The Sik and 2200 ran pretty well during Rijswijk, the Hippel needed some slight modifications... More diesel engines to come!

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.
The past two years, I’ve updated the designs of a lot of my Lego fire trucks. Here is the redesigned Brush 1. In the background is Engine 3 with a new pump panel (inspired by Castle Beach Lego Fire) and my fire excavator. The fire apparatus are inspired by Pierce Manufacturing and similar in design to apparatus with LAFD, Cal Fire, and the San Diego Fire Department. Unless otherwise noted, the designs are original work.
I stayed in Liskeard on Wednesday evening so decided to venture out to a spot close to where I grew up the following morning. This is the ruins of an old engine house on Bodmin Moor, close to Minions and the Cheesewring. Just when I thought it was in danger of being a wasted journey the sun came out and provided some nice light. This was taken just as the sun popped up above the horizon.
Thanks to Richie for reminding me of this spot with his atmospheric mono image of the same location a few days ago.
I appreciate any constructive comments to help me improve.
At Oxenhope Station on the 24th July 2017 you can see how the family market enjoys a day at the heritage railway. LMS 4F 0-6-0 No.43924 has just arrived at Oxenhope with a service from Keighley. The railway is part of the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway.
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.

The morning of May 13 found me wake and alert before dawn, so I got to shoot part of the morning fleet on the NS Lafayette District. I am familiar with the afternoon offerings on this busy freight artery, but I don't get out too often early in the day, so my insomnia had a silver lining to it.
Here we see TripleCrown™ 256 hauling its trailers up the steep but short grade at Philo, IL. 256 is blowing for the Illinois 130 crossing behind me; the grain elevators off in the distance are at Tolono – at the bottom of the hill – some five miles distant.
