When I was a small girl, my granny used to ask me: "Girl- what's the noise of a train?" and I answered proudly: "TschTschTschTsch!"
I thought, today's children would not know about this noise anymore, but on the train I met a little boy and I asked him: "boy- what's the sound of a train?" And the boy answered shy: "TschTschTschTsch!"

Hughes Engine house. Moonta, South Australia
Hughes Enginehouse played a focal role in the operations of the Moonta Mine. Its function was to dewater the underground workings on the mine’s largest orebodies. These orebodies, known as Elders and Elders West Lodes, were worked over a length of 1000 metres and to depths of more than 700 metres.
This classic Cornish enginehouse was constructed alongside Hughes Shaft by John Beaglehole between late 1863 and early 1865. It was named after Walter Watson Hughes, the founder of the Moonta Mining Co.
The building housed a 60-inch Cornish beam pumping engine installed under the direction of engineer Frederick May, and officially started by Captain Hancock on 2 September 1865. The engine and its installation cost £7000 ($1-2 million by today’s standards).
The engine operated pumps in Hughes and Taylors Shafts which allowed mining of the main orebody below natural water level. It worked continuously, except for maintenance, for more than 58 years until closure of the mine in 1923.
The machinery was scrapped and the buildings were salvaged when the Wallaroo and Moonta Mining and Smelting Co. liquidated in 1925. In 1973, the National Trust carried out conservation work on the enginehouse and chimney.

Okay, they did a 1.5 billion pixel image, I'll give it to them. And a mighty fine one too.

The Denver and Rio Grande Western K-36 class engines are ten 3 -ft narrow gauge, Mikado type, 2-8-2 steam locomotives built for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (DRGW) by Baldwin Locomotive Works. They were shipped to the Rio Grande in 1925, and were first used along the Monarch Branch and Marshall Pass, but were later sent to the Third Division out of Alamosa. Of the original ten, four are owned by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&SNG) and five by the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TS). Number 485 fell into the turntable pit at Salida and was scrapped in Pueblo in 1955, with many parts being saved.
The locomotives are of outside-frame design, with the driving wheels placed between the two chassis frames which support the boiler, but with the cylinders, driving rods, counterweights and valve gear on the outside.
7th May 2018. The first day of the Great Heat Wave at the Keighley And Worth Valley Railway and later in the day I would have to take shelter under one of the bridges as the heat was so stifling. In the scene USATC S160 2-8-0 No.5820 Big Jim makes a light engine movement to Oxenhope [from Haworth] before she starts her duties for the day.
The dream of many a school boy of my generation - to become an engine driver. These two look happy enough driving 76079 on the North york Moors Railway.

Just like the MИP-26B 3.5/45mm lens, this diesel engine is temperamental, especially if you call him YELLOW!!

One of 4 purchased in 1975.
Cincinnati had a total of 13 of these fully enclosed engines which were purchased between 1972 and 1975. When this pumper was delivered, this was the second due engine where I was living. If I could only go back...

On October 4th, 1945 two Corsair fighter planes collided above Mount Tamailpais. The R-2800 engine of one of the planes came to rest in the middle of Cataract Creek, where it can still be seen almost 78 years later.
I’ve been unable to find very much information on this interesting building. It is located at 2100 N. 2nd Street, in the near north-side of St. Louis, Missouri, and currently houses American Timber Salvage. That company is in the business of salvaging historic building wood materials for re-use, and is owned by Bruce Gerrie, who collaborated with artist Bob Cassilly to provide materials for the world famous City Museum. The City Museum, which is located in a converted shoe factory in downtown St. Louis, is built almost entirely with cast offs from demolitions. Mr. Gerrie is also the owner and curator of the St. Louis Architectural Museum, which is located inside of the City Museum.
Above the door of this structure can faintly be seen the words “Engine Co. 26.” As best as I’ve been able to determine, this was a former firehouse built in 1887. The old cobblestone street can still be seen leading up to the front door, which mostly likely saw horse-drawn fire engines in its early days. I have been unable to find any information indicating how long this building remained in operation as a fire house. Apparently, in the 1990’s the building was used by some artists (JD Street, Tom Seymour and "Evil" Ted Smith) who went on to some acclaim as special effects gurus in the film industry after moving to California.
