Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.

In partnership with the Unified Fire Authority and Utah National Guard, firefighters attended the interagency fire engine operator training workshop on Thursday, May 25. Since 2012, this annual fire engine training has been hosted at Camp Williams in Bluffdale, Utah. Camp Williams is the ideal location for hands-on training that accurately represents the topography, terrain, and vegetation present across public lands in the lower elevations of the western United States.
Fire engines are the backbone of initial attack fire suppression and fire training is vital to the safety and success of firefighters. This specialized training program is an intensive week-long course designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of firefighters with approximately three to four years of wildfire experience and features scenarios with real-world situations to use best practices for engine operations. Crews learned suppression tactics, polished readiness skills, change a flat tire, mobile attack, and laying hose lines. Members of the media were also invited on a field tour to learn more about the training program and conducted interviews with BLM Incident Commander Tommy Braun and Unified Fire Authority Lead Paul Story.

I’m 21 years old! I think. This is not my usual “what if”, but a shunter built after a prototype by a quite known LEGO designer. He works for Star Wars now but used to design for City at some point in his career and he happens to have a bunch of prototypes from that time behind his desk, there are the first literations of the Santa Fe locomotive, his first passenger train, some trucks, and this little gem. All these prototypes are from around 2000-2003 I guess, and I can imagine that this would fit really well into the portfolio back then. There never was a separate 9V locomotive until “My Own Train” was introduced, but even then you couldn’t get a driving train engine just by grabbing a box off the shelf, but had to get a box, a polybag with the color you desired, then the motor and a polybag with a lightbrick.
This one is almost like it was originally designed the only real differences are the engine covers (I simply don’t have these fingerhinge shutters in dark gray), and the roof which I also couldn’t hunt down as one part. The rest is cosmetic changes that improve the stability or the building experience. If this set would have happened, I’m sure at least some things would have been solved in similar fashion. I swapped the yellow jacket train conductor with the two train dudes that seem to have been in every 9 Volt set in the late 90ies, early 2000s… As the prototype uses some painted bits, I figured that the black windows were a concious decision, and didn’t change that. It actually fits within the quite random color palet of the time period when this was originally designed anyway.
Banished from the Apparatus Bay during a recent Californian Election day in May 2009, San Jose Fire Department's Engine 10 sits quietly on the Apron of Fire Station 10.
Engine 10 is a 1998 Hi-Tech EVS built pumper on a Spartan Gladiator chassis.

Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Engine Co.68 2004 Seagrave 1000/500
Code 3 1/64 scale
Engine Co.68 was organized February 15th 1908 and were housed with Ladder 49 at 1160 Ogden Ave. on September 19th 1979. Engine 68 Ladder 49 are the First Due Companies at Yankee Stadium.
Both Engine 68 & Ladder 49 carry the insignia of the New York Yankees on their rigs.
Boro: Da Bronx
Company nickname's: "Bronx Bombers" & "Castle on the Hill"
I rarely see these engines used on aircraft and this is the first time I have used them. The go quite nicely overall in my opinion.
1931 Bugatti Type 41 Royale Inline 8-cylinder engine, single overhead camshaft, 779 cubic inches displacement,
300 horsepower
From its length, one might expect more than eight cylinders under the Bugatti’s hood. But each of those cylinders displaces more than the whole of a Volkswagen Beetle’s power plant.
Four air cleaners stand over the engine, fitted to the four carburetors installed by Charles Chayne after World War II. Two spark plugs protrude from each cylinder. The steering box sits just behind the right fender, in keeping with the car’s right-hand-drive layout. Matt Anderson, curator of transportation at The Henry Ford.
If you are looking for 1986 Audi engine, you will find 1.8L to 4.2L Audi engines of different models like Audi 80,100, TT, A3,A4, Q7, A8, S4 and many more at 1986engine.com. All these engines assure top quality engine parts.
Never wash your car's engine with water as it may damage electrical parts and sensors. Use a good all purpose cleaner (APC) or an engine degreaser for very dirty engines. Top up the plastics with a trim dressing.

At a freezing Christmas Fair in Worcester - what a delight to see a working steam engine in this age of technology - lucky I had my mobile so I could take a photo! ; )
