Národnà technické muzeum (National Technological Museum), Prague. The Czech Air Force flew Spitfire IXs post-war, so this may have come from one of those.
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.
This has been finished for a while now, but I didn't photograph it properly.
The engine is controlled by an SBrick and contains a remote decoupler.

Sally B is the name of an airworthy 1945-built Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, the only one remaining airworthy in Europe. Based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, England, Sally B flies at airshows in the UK and across Europe as well as serving as an airborne memorial to the United States Army Air Forces airmen who lost their lives in the European theatre during World War II. The aircraft was delivered to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 19 June 1945 as 44-85784, too late to see active service in the war. After being converted to both a TB-17G training variant and then an EB-17G it was struck off charge in 1954. In 1954 the Institut Géographique National in France bought the plane for use as a survey aircraft. In 1975 it moved to England and was registered with the CAA as G-BEDF to be restored to wartime condition. The Sally B was first fitted with accurate gun turrets and other much needed additions for her role as Ginger Rogers, a B-17 bomber of the fictitious bomber unit featured in the 1981 LWT series We'll Meet Again. During the winter of 1983–84, Sally B was painted in an olive drab and neutral grey colour scheme, in place of the bare metal scheme she had worn since construction, in order to protect the airframe from the damp UK weather. At the same time, she received the markings of the 447th Bomb Group. The Sally B was used in the 1990 film Memphis Belle as one of 5 flying B-17s needed for various film scenes, and it was used to replicate the real Memphis Belle in one scene. Half of the aircraft is still in the Memphis Belle livery, following restoration of the Sally B nose art and the black and yellow checkerboard pattern on the cowling of the starboard inner (no 3) engine, carried as a tribute to Elly Sallingboe's companion Ted White, whose Harvard aircraft had the same pattern on its cowling. Sally B was reworked to B-17F configuration for filming. Since 1985, Sally B has been operated by Elly Sallingboe's 'B-17 Preservation Ltd and maintained by Chief Engineer Peter Brown and a team of volunteers. The aircraft is flown by volunteer experienced professional pilots. The B17 Charitable Trust exists to raise funds to keep the plane flying. In 2008, Elly Sallingboe was awarded the Transport Trust 'Lifetime Achievement Award' in recognition of over thirty years of dedication to the preservation and operation of Britain's only airworthy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress as a flying memorial to the tens of thousands of American aircrew who lost their lives in her sister aircraft during the Second World War. One of the key events in the flying calendar for Sally B is an annual tribute flypast following the Memorial Day service at the American Military Cemetery at Madingley, Cambridge. This takes place over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Flypasts over former Eighth Air Force bases are also carried out whenever possible during the summer months.

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!
To help honor a time in history when Cleburne was a major part of the Santa Fe railroad, Hulen Park is home to Steam Engine 3417, which went into service in 1919 and was retired in 1954
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
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.
