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.

Shop #359 Pierce #13618 Model: Dash
This is the only quint on the DFD roster. Engine 48's response area can be cut off from the rest of the city when a draw bridge over the Rouge River is raised. As a result, a quint is assigned to this company in case an aerial would be needed for a rescue. Notice that this apparatus carries "the bundle" but that it is located on the side of the apparatus under the turntable.
A fire engine built to go along with my fire house in The Outbreak, but not completed before Zombie Apocafest 2008 at BrickCon.
Inspired in no small way by Ralph Savelsberg and Steven Asbury.
New Rocker cover and VTEC solenoid cap went on this week. Thought i'd get an up to date pic of what the bay looks like.
Truro Township, Ohio Fire Department Engine 162

Formerly served as Engine 161 and later as the reserve engine. This unit was involved in a crash in 2019. The department decided to both repair and refurbish the apparatus and return it service as Engine 162. The ALF then took over reserve duties.

Caught this chap fettling his flue at Lancashire Mining Museum. I tried to recreate an image sympathetic to the engine's era
34027 works light engine from Bewdley to Kidderminster on the Severn Valley Railway on 28 November 2021,
okay, this one is more or less a BR64. The cylinders are wrong and the running gear is fake. The pilot axles are cosmetic, too. It's a six wide world and i'm living in it.
This is the first time ever I've made any locomotive based on a real engine. A bit more greebs on this one than the last because I had reference to show me where to put them.
One of four massive turbofan engines that powers the Airbus A380. Each weighs about 14700 pounds and can crank out up to 81500 pounds of thrust.
It's funny how you can know, even before you look it up, that an RE in a northern municipal fleet would have had a Leyland engine. You can understand regional loyalty, but Patricroft-based Gardner was hardly more "southern" than Leyland ...so why the prejudice? Leyland is somehow urban and industrial, but Gardner country town and rural. The Gardners were mainly found among Tilling fleets, I suppose, but that doesn't entirely account for it. All I'm saying is that I can simply look at an RE and know, with ...ooh, 90% accuracy... which engine it had. By this time, Wednesday 20th October 1976, it was a case of NBC and PTE, rather than Tilling and municipal. Tyne & Wear's RESL no. 981 had been new to South Shields Corporation. I know you've seen this bus already: a little later, when I'd walked out along Newcastle's time-honoured Scotswood Road, I took another photo of the vehicle on its way back into the city. Though generally opposed to "light" bus liveries, I quite liked Tyne & Wear's. Its saving grace was that they'd retained cream as the "relief" colour and not followed the NBC (and many others) down the "white" route. Interesting one-piece number blind.
