Two of Louisville & Indiana's nicely painted rebuilt GP38s hang out at the railroad's engine terminal in Jeffersonville, Ind. The southern half of the line has recently been upgraded with new welded rail, ties and ballast to accommodate new CSX traffic.
Beautiful engine behind that hood ornament. . .loved the purple color. . .and the iconic Ford logo sets it all off nicely. . .Blacktop Nationals. . .Wichita. . .Summer 2014. . .
a bit of an artistic picture now, haha.
The RL8 is packed with a compact V8 as a powertrain, producing not as much horsepower as the Venozis RL7, but the radiator has moved upwards in order to catch better the air provided by the roof and that has increased the cooling efficiency significantly. It's like the RL8's got a 8th generation Intel I5 processor, while the RL7 has a 7th one Intel I7.
But why a V8, instead of a Boxer? Well, the joint project agreements involved the engine type choice aswell, and this is the setup we chose for our rides. The RL8 will also be the second model of the line to feature RWD instead of AWD, just like it's grandfather Asphalt RL4 (which has also been born on a circustance of a joint project with Alex B).
Newbiggin Colliery was opened in 1908 by Newbiggin Collieries Ltd, and closed in 1967.
Here we have a Yorkshire Engine Company [YEC] locomotive purchased new by the company in 1910. Bit of a rare beast in Northumberland.
The locomotives name 'KIT' can be made out faintly on the side of the saddle tank.

The Lotus Carlton (in mainland Europe, the Lotus Omega) was a Vauxhall Carlton saloon upgraded by Lotus Cars to be a 177 mph (285 kph) sports car. Like all Lotus vehicles, it was given a type designation — Type 104 in this case. The external differences were minimal to the five seater with only the rear spoiler, air intakes on the bonnet, Lotus badges on the front wings and bootlid, and considerably wider wheel arches telling it apart from any other Carlton. The car was only sold in one colour, a shade of British racing green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Lotus' modifications included an upgraded engine, which was stroked from the standard Vauxhall 2969 cc 24v straight six unit, used in the GSi, to a capacity of 3615 cc. Lotus then added twin Garrett T25 turbochargers to give 382 hp (281 kW). A six-speed manual ZF transmission from a Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 was used to transfer this power to the rear wheels. The car was capable of 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds and had 12.5 in (330 mm) AP ventilated disc brakes with racing calipers all round.
Production of the Lotus Carlton began in 1990, four years after the original Carlton went on sale. General Motors (the parent company of Vauxhall, Opel and - at the time - Lotus) had hoped to build 1,100 cars in total, but due to the recession of the early 1990s, the £48,000 cars were not selling as well as anticipated and production at Lotus was halted in December 1992. Only 950 cars were completed: 320 Carltons and 630 Omegas, 150 short of the original target.
The Lotus Carlton and Omega were never federalized for sale in the USA, but as of 2007 the Lotus Omega is allowed to be imported into the USA under the DOT's "Show and Display" exemption. It is unknown if any have been imported.

A traction engine is a self-propelled steam engine used to move heavy loads on roads, plough ground or to provide power at a chosen location. The name derives from the Latin 'tractus', meaning 'drawn', since the prime function of any traction engine is to draw a load behind it. They are sometimes called road locomotives to distinguish them from their track-bound steam locomotive cousins. The machines tend to be robust and powerful, but also heavy and slow. Nevertheless, they revolutionized agriculture and road haulage at a time when the only alternative prime mover was the draught horse.
